Finally! Season Opener Leafs at Habs - Saturday - CBC 7:00 PM

[Derk]

Dumb penalty on that little twerp Gionta...

Sorry, DRAWN by that little twerp Gionta.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Franson is a dope.

He hasn't looked bad prior to that, but at this point he's definitely the guy coming out when Gardiner returns.

 

[Bullfrog]

"Tomas kaberle actually shot the puck."  :

 

[Justin]

Franson had a bad start to last year. Let's hope he doesn't repeat that his year.

 

[lc9]

Leafs kill the penalty.  Good to see the PK getting off to a good start. 

 

[TML fan]

van Riemsdyk looks awful. But it is early...

 

[pnjunction]

Yea, it hasnt been the same since Davidson left.

I liked the old 2003-2006 hot stove the best. Any combination of John Davidson, Eric Duhatschek, Pierre Lebrun, Scott Morrison, and Kelly Hrudy were great.

The only thing I ever liked about hotstove was when guys like Lebrun and Strachan got chirpy with each other. 

That and seeing how good Morrison's stubble looked that week.  So jealous.

 

[PrestigeWorldwide]

Loving Kadri tonight, he looks so much more solid with his skating.

My favourite was when Milbury would sh*t on Strachan every week. I'll never forget when Milbury dismissed the idiotic point Strachan was making and bitterly said "what a dink you are Al."

Anyone else using Gamecenter Live online (especially the app on xbox and iPad) and having major issues? Teething problems or a sign of things to come? My subscriptions doesn't renew til the start of Feb and if they don't sort this I'll be going elsewhere!

 

[ZBBM]

I really hope Weekes and Stock aren't going to be mainstays on the Hotstove. Weekes is an ok guy, but neither of those are the insider types that you expect on that segment. And Glen Healey has been just awful.

I think Weekes has really improved over the years -- much more confident in his delivery.  Stock is almost Cherrylike in his inability to create an English sentence.  Friedman got fat.  Healy needs a choker chain, but at least he can make a coherent point.

Like I said, I like Weekes. He's a good colour commentator, and like you said has improved leaps and bounds from when he first started. But he's just doesn't seem like the kind of guy who is going to provide inside information on the P.K. Subban contract negotiations. He's just not connected in that sense.

Fair enough.  They might have him on there just to counterweight the frenetic Stock/Healy duo.

 

[BlueWhiteBlood]

Loving Kadri tonight, he looks so much more solid with his skating.

He seems to be dishing out the hits tonight also, that last one was a good one.

 

[lc9]

Leafs are sitting back now.  I have liked the game they have played thus far.

Hah sounds familiar, they were always trying to sneak in that last word.  McLean trying to deal with it all was hilarious too.

 

[Derk]

Wow, Brown was so eager to make the hit, he didn't see the puck sitting in front of the open net.

 

[Derk]

Predictable penalty to the Leafs.

 

[lc9]

Grabovski to the box because sticks break easily. 

 

[Coderaspberry]

Even though they've been hemmed in some, I feel like they've been in good defensive position for the most part.

 

[barney_rebel]

We stink dudes

 

[Bender]

Fucking Gionta
