Finally! Season Opener Leafs at Habs - Saturday - CBC 7:00 PM

And there's the first instance of my biggest pet peeve: the phrase "compete level."

Why not?: "he likes his competitiveness" or "he likes how hard he competes"

I'm really impressed by your annoyed level.

 

[BlueWhiteBlood]

they don't call the habs nonstop hooking of lupul and kessel but they call a hand pass?

I thought there was some holding going on in there also.

 

[TheMightyOdin]

I remember now... I LOVE HOCKEY!

 

[leafplasma]

Garbo getting knocked around pretty good out there.

I hope that means a three point night.

He is a tough SOB, small but doesn't play small.  Can you imagine Coliacovo if he was hit half as much as Grabo, he would never play.

 

[Derk]

Scrivens run over... again.

And it was Gionta - can't stand that guy after he hit Reimer in the head last year.

Bozak is a bad player, really nothing better than 4th line checker.  He doesn't see the ice well at all. 

 

[Derk]

Too bad they didn't score there - they are really gonna need more goals before the inevitable four Montreal PPs in a row....

Though not rational, the use of compete level really raises my annoy level.

Ya, not seeing what you're seeing.

 

[BlueWhiteBlood]

Kostka's a beast.

 

[barney_rebel]

Miss seeing PK ZIP's dives...  they could use a pp right now.

Neither am I. I think he'd probably be better suited as a 3rd line type, but, he's certainly not a bad player.

Agreed. Bozak is playing well.

 

[leafplasma]

Kostka's a beast.

He certainly was with the Marlies, see it is carrying over so far.  Late bloomer to the nth degree.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Kostka's a beast.

I know it hasn't even been a period, but if he keeps this up it's going to be very hard to take him out of the line-up. He's done exactly what I expected offensively but he's been very steady defensively as well.

 

[drummond]

Kostka's a beast.

Leads the Leafs in ice-time... and it is his first NHL game ever

 

[Deebo]

Kadre.

 

[lc9]

Offensive zone face off and Carlye puts the 4th line out there..yikes. 

 

[Derk]

That probably should have been another Habs penalty - just glad it didn't end up in the Leaf net.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Scrivens can't handle the puck to save his life. That was clear even at the AHL level.
