sens @ Leafs - Oct. 10th, 7:00pm - HNIC, Fan 590

Sort of interesting that Babcock is matching the Spaling and Hunwick/Rielly group against Ottawa's top line. He was using the Bozak and Phaneuf  group in the home opener.

Kadri and two random wingers once again looking like the best line.

Leafs all over Ottawa, Hoffman and Stone the story though.

Craig Anderson is a world class goalie?

Craig Anderson is world class apparently.

 

[ZBBM]

Craig Anderson is a world class goalie?

In the sense that any goalie who makes the NHL is in the top, what, 2% of everyone who plays that position.

 

[WhatIfGodWasALeaf]

Turris, Stone and Hoffman is a good looking line, they dumped the puck in.

Leafs have a way of making any goalie look like "a world class goalie".

Except their own, of course.

That wasn't the context he was using though, he was putting him in the elite Carey Price bracket.

Craig Anderson is a world class goalie?

He's probably somewhat underrated. 5th best even-strength save percentage among starters over the past 3 seasons. Behind Rask, Price, Bobrovsky, and Lundqvist.

I'm pretty sure Kessel's 25 goals last year are actually worth like 40 with this team, holy moly.  Bozak might not hit 20 points.

 

[WhatIfGodWasALeaf]

They like to talk about good young offensive players.

Have they mentioned Gardiner playing with Phaneuf and Reilly playing on a top shutdown unit?

Of course not.

Kadri and two random wingers once again looking like the best line.

Yes and remember that Kadri must be a true number one by end of season or they MUST dump him immediately for a bag of pucks.

Reimer > Bernier

They're not going to be this offensively inept all season, but I'll be shocked if anyone on the team hits 60 points. Heck, I doubt they'll have more than one or two guys that hit 50, or score 20+.

 

[ZBBM]

Jesus, Subban's a riot.

I know.

i hate him as a hab. but the guy has some kickass personality away from the ice

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Don't worry guys, Henny's doing everything he can on twitter to balance out the guys on the broadcast:

Paul Hendrick ‏@HennyTweets
Tyler Bozak has just 2 shots this season and none this evening. Defensively however he is even thru 7 periods. Defensive strides. #TMLtalk

 

[ZBBM]

I think Babcock just bit Kadri's earlobe off.
