Guest ThisPlaceSucks Posted October 3, 2013 Report Posted October 3, 2013 good game by the buds. as i mentioned earlier, i think the leafs have all the offensive pieces in place. not sold on on the D quite yet. dion and gunny aren't a top pairing on a championship team IMO. i do think the leafs are solid enough that they will be a buyer at the deadline, and a better dman paired with phaneuf would rectify any perceived weakness i'm predicting. interested to see what my sens do this year. i think macleans puck possession domination is going to pay big dividends with the squad he's got. we've got some work to do on cowen and wiercioch, and if "Oh No" Joe Corvo ends up being shakey we have some guys ready to make the jump. i still think we're a season or two from a run, but i like where the team is going
irishfield Posted October 3, 2013 Report Posted October 3, 2013 Yah,,, but Montreal is full of one way streets and it's a set route down there!
Guest ThisPlaceSucks Posted October 3, 2013 Report Posted October 3, 2013 and yeah, the habs are the habs. if anybody other than the habs win the cup it's a good year.
muskymatt Posted October 3, 2013 Author Report Posted October 3, 2013 I see a quick out of the gate, a fizzle and then a collapse equal to a certain playoff game last year. Defence is weak, won't be long before it wears on the forwards.
Raf Posted October 3, 2013 Report Posted October 3, 2013 thankfully matt, the things you see, such as orr 'intentionally' pulling parros down last night, are pretty far removed from reality.
manitoubass2 Posted October 3, 2013 Report Posted October 3, 2013 Muskymatt forgot to mention the leadership in ottawa lol. Is spezzas grit and raw emotion for the game gonna take you anywhere? That being said, im a realist, leafs got outplayed tonight but pulled off a win thanks to a few good plays and outstanding goaltending.
jedimaster Posted October 3, 2013 Report Posted October 3, 2013 The reality of last night games is that bernier stole that win. The could have been down 4-0 after the first period. We have been waiting since cujo for a solid goalie that can steal 10 wins per year. Guess what. You just saw that goalie last night night. I am a Reimer fan but he is no where in the same league as bernier. I was hoping to keep scrivens as a a backup as I am not sure how much Reimer will want that role. None the less this is going to be a very good pairing. The defense is very suspect so far in the two game plus the pre season. If gardiner and rielly pan out they will make a huge difference on the blue line. Looks to me like the goaltending has been sorted. The offense with kadri, kessle, bolland and jvr has been sorted. Special teams is on the upswing. They just need to work on gaining control in there own end 5 on 5. Happy Leafs fan today.
BillM Posted October 3, 2013 Report Posted October 3, 2013 Bernier was calm, cool and collected lastnight. He definitely stole that one for the Leafs.. Nice to see the boys turn it around a bit in the 2nd and 3rd periods with some offense.

dave524 Posted October 3, 2013 Report Posted October 3, 2013 Looking at the games stats , I saw Reimer got the #1 spot of the three stars of the game opening night, Ok with that, but then last night I see Bernier listed as the 3rd star with Troy Brodie and Braden Schenn as the first 2 stars, do the guys that pick these stars even watch the game
jimmer Posted October 3, 2013 Report Posted October 3, 2013 Wow...he proved all that in one game...impressive!!!! LOL Is that a hab fan we hear? This is a Leaf thread.
manitoubass2 Posted October 3, 2013 Report Posted October 3, 2013 Bernier was the first, second and third star last night
Propwash Posted October 3, 2013 Report Posted October 3, 2013 (edited) Good start for my home team. Bernie definately got the W for the buds, but it was Bolland who found himself at the right place and right time to net a couple and win it for the goaltender. When Clarkson comes back, and if him and Bolland pick up the points, the parade will be going South, against traffic, on Mimico Avenue boys lol. Edited October 3, 2013 by Propwash
SirCranksalot Posted October 3, 2013 Report Posted October 3, 2013 , the parade will be going South, against traffic, on Mimico Avenue boys lol. Toronto's got lots of time to build a brand new road before it'll be needed!!LOL
muskymatt Posted October 3, 2013 Author Report Posted October 3, 2013 Is that a hab fan we hear? This is a Leaf thread. Actually it was started as as anti-laff thread lol
tb4me Posted October 3, 2013 Report Posted October 3, 2013 Actually it was started as as anti-laff thread lol And you see how quickly it got turned around in the right direction..Try as you might Matt you will never win..lol Go Leafs Go! Sens next this should be interesting..I hope they can take the pounding their about to get...
lookinforwalleye Posted October 3, 2013 Report Posted October 3, 2013 Is that a hab fan we hear? This is a Leaf thread. Sorry to poop on your parade, for the record I have been a habs fan for over 50 years but I always wish the leafs well. There is no hatred for the Leafs from this habs fan I save that for the Booins!!!!

davey buoy Posted October 3, 2013 Report Posted October 3, 2013 (edited) Yes, it will be interesting! GO SENS GO!!!! Sucks though that the Sens first game is only on Friday! I agree,but you'll have at least two games in hand to get caught up. Edited October 3, 2013 by davey buoy
tb4me Posted October 3, 2013 Report Posted October 3, 2013 Sucks though that the Sens first game is only on Friday! I was thinking the same thing..Who comes up with these schedules...Brutal eh
muskymatt Posted October 3, 2013 Author Report Posted October 3, 2013 I was thinking the same thing..Who comes up with these schedules...Brutal eh Think of the disadvantage of any team playing their first game against a team when all the rest are 3-4 games into their schedule. Kind of redonkulous if you ask me!
lookinforwalleye Posted October 3, 2013 Report Posted October 3, 2013 Not sure of the relevance of posting that stat but with the record the leafs have posted in recent history you leave yourself open to have more than a few interesting stats thrown back your way...but I won't go there. Go leafs go
