Leafs @ Canadiens - Oct. 1st, 7:00pm - CBC, TSN 1050

Blatant offside IMO. Maybe the Leaf pushed him? A penalty should be called? Anyway refs can't miss something that obvious in a season opener. Ugh..

It was pretty clearly onside by the replay.

Reimer with the 5 hole wide open.  So far Price has made some big saves, Reimer only making routine saves. 

And now the Habs will go to the PP.

I don't think that was Reimer's fault.

I was thinking Price has looked bad, has been extremely lucky so far.  Toronto's defense hasn't been good, I don't blame Reimer.
 
Phaneuf is already starting to annoy me. 15 mins into the first game. I hope Nonis doesn't shell out big bucks for him to. With him and Gunnar as our 1/2 we're in trouble.
 
Ranger lined up on the left side on the face off. So when the Leafs lost the draw, Ranger took the man he lined up against. Gardiner failed to be aware of that, so he took the same man. So, it's Gardiner's fault.

There have been some glaring defensive miscues this period.

I don't think the Leafs have used the same rotation of defencemen twice in a row yet. Very strange.

Yes, I noticed this also. The Leafs are really different without the Komarov element as well. I don't hear the boards smashing anymore.
 
We lost momentum because Phaneuf's hockey IQ just isn't good enough.  There was 1:14 left in a double minor and we had them back on their heels and were up 1.  Then he decided to give a guy a shove in the back.  There was no need.
 
Weak defensive zone coverage. Sound familiar. We've been seeing this for years but we don't seem to upgrade our defense or teach the forwards how to play without the puck which is the problem.

Exactly correct, just a poor hockey IQ play.

Speaking of Komarov, what happened to him?

I agree not the smartest of plays especially after we got a couple weak calls.
