Habs @ Leafs - Oct. 8th, 7:00pm - SN, Fan 590

[Derk]

Kessel can't bury it, Leafs lose the opener. Bummer.

 

[barney_rebel]

We stink dudes...

 

[lc9]

Off to a stellar start.  Kessel wide open and rushes his chance.  Price made the save.

Not a great game.

 

[Partagas]

Sooooo anyone actually think we were getting to OT there without issue ?

We suck guys

 

[ZBBM]

Hard to get a read on the team after one game (obviously).  The first period shows what the potential is.  The second and third how far they still have to go.  Outbattled by MTL.

This looks like the same crappy team as last year.

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

One game, bounces for both teams.  What can you do - good and bad for both teams.  Not much to read into after 1 game.

 

[Stronger Than All]

I'm not ready for the season.  Can we delay it for now until I say it's ok?

more like game 83.

1st goal dictated the end result.

i didn't mind the way we played...i think this easily could have gone another way...

PERIOD MTL TOR
1st 6 11
2nd 13 7
3rd 13 9
Total 32 27

Maybe they just need time to settle in with all the changes...but yeah looking like same ol' team.  Are they too out of shape to skate with other teams for 60 minutes or something?

I still dislike Carlyle enough that I wonder if a bad streak to flush him wouldn't be better in the end.  Win or lose...of course since that's what I want they'll go .500 and nothing will change.

 

[Sanecow]

JVR cost a goal by spectating and having no awareness.

 

[Madferret]

Leafs next 5 games: Pens, NYR, Avs, Det, Det

 

[Boston Leaf]

some good things but still cant win a draw and looked like we ran out of gas. like Polaks meanness.. Didntlike the Gardiner/ Reilly pairing tonight. Very weak in own zone.. top line looked beaten

[MetalRaven]

Did Paul Devorski forget to announce he was retiring after the first period?

+1

Here's something I'll try to keep up for every game this season.

3 Obvious Observations from Tonight's Game

1. Morgan Reilly is on pace for 82 goals this season. I doubt he can keep it up but a good start for him. 

2. If Bernier can make one save this season before giving up a goal, this would have been a different game today.

3. PK Subban is on pace for 82 goals and a +82 rating. Looks like he's going to earn that $9 million Montreal is paying him.

Have to give it awhile to see if things are the same or not. Just like winning the last 4 home openers weren't necessarily indicative of the teams skill neither is tonight's loss necessarily.
