Jake Allen gave up a PP goal to Tyson Barrie from the blue line.

Glad it's in T.O because the camera angle in habland sucks.
Hope the Leafs can win this one and then the next 3 against Ott to go up 13pts on the habs. I hope they come out flying and put this away early....kill their will

I would argue Hyman should have bumped back to Marner who had a wide open lane once Hyman received the pass if they wanted to go high percentage.

I've very upset about the lack of comments in the GDT for the game that is very clearly not being played tonight.


<damn it, now what am I going to do?>

 

[dappleganger]

I'd like for the game to be tonight.

 

[ZBBM]

So 11-2-1 has to be one of the better starts in recent Leafs history ... yes?

The habs need time to lick their wounds

 

[Bender]

I still can't believe how fast people annointed the Canadiens as the second coming of Christ. I mean, I'm happy for the Leafs start but I'm not ready to call them the by far the best team in the division yet.

 

[Sandinius]

Sundin is turning 50 today.
It would be nice to honour him with a strong game and a win.
Since it's a home game do you think there will be some tribute tonight?

Apparently best start since 93-94 when the Leafs started 10-0 and then were 11-2-1 after 14

As some of you may be old enough to recall, the Leafs' 9th win in that 10-0 streak came the same night the Blue Jays won their second World Series. What a time in Toronto sports.

Good news for Nicky Bobby; he'll get some top minutes before the OHL bubble starts

Marincin is like herpes.

Those were the days.

I love you.

If he's not getting NHL minutes by then the Leafs should still absolutely laugh in the face of the OHL if they ask for Robertson to be sent back.

 

[Highlander]

I didn't think Robertson was eligible for the Marlies??

OHL has not started yet

Conditioning stint?
