Things are heating up at camp. Pretty exciting to watch Matthews (and Zaitsev) debut as a Maple Leaf tonight. If he can impress as much as Marner has so far, were in for a real treat.
 
Montreal's roster for the game:

So it'll be a basically-NHL team for the Leafs and a basically-not-NHL team for the Habs. Should be pretty reminiscent of Friday's game.
 
Yeah was going to say that's a pretty loaded preseason lineup.  And Nylander again?  That's 4 straight games.  Are they still testing to see if he can crack the team?

AKA which spare part in Montreal will try to take a run at Matthews to make a name for himself.
 
Pretty disorganized and disappointing looking period for us. JVR with the brutal giveaway in his own zone. Lazy period overall.
 
Matthews and Nylander had a couple of chances but I think they were a bit out of sync that period.  Hoping they show some more in the 2nd period.  Marner looks good but seems like he passes too quick.  I'd like to see him carry it a bit more.

Yeah, lazy offensively, they completely shut Montreal down to just that one real chance.

Matthews just put the moves on Mtl's 1st round star dman prospect.
 
Wow, I have to admit, I wasn't overly impressed with Z's skating, but he just showed me what he's capable of.  Awesome!

Entitled to your opinion obviously, but we have pretty much a full line up against a AHL team....I want and need more than 1-1 through half a game.
 
Babcock trying out some PP stuff. Zaitsev, Kadri, Matthews, Nylander, Brown.

Now Rielly, Marner, Bozak, JvR, Komarov.

I saw this and it really struck a chord with me.

I think it explains why he sometimes looks awkward skating out there, but then he can just explode and sprint very quickly over short distances.
