Leafs @ Canadiens - Feb. 9th, 7:00pm - CBC, TSN 1050

The takeaway by Ronald to spring Tavares and Hyman was even better.

Useless f?n effort with the PP. if I was Babcock half of these clowns wouldn?t see anymore PP time. No urgency at all. Marner looks like crap tonight. Send Johnsson n Kapanen whoever out there the rest of the big guys don?t deserve it. Pathetic.

The fault is babcocks.  His employee designs the PP.  the plays are being cheated by the coaching staff. 

 

[ZBBM]

The powerplay is literally dragging this team back to the rest of the pack.

Both units need a complete reboot.

 

[lc9]

Tavares has looked good tonight.  He deserves one.

 

[TML fan]

They should try skating on the PP and see what happens.

 

[Zee]

Another OT game coming? If the Leafs actually had a PP this game could be over by now.

 

[ZBBM]

Our PK is more dangerous than the PP.  Good work.  Lindholm has been great.

 

[Joe S.]

Is Matthews playing? I don?t think I saw him at all that period.

 

[BrownRolo]

Tavares, Hyman, Nylander, Kappy are all working hard.

Marner and Matthews look horrible. I want to see Matthews move his feet more. He just floats around. He never initiates contact or tries to start a play on his own.

 

[TML fan]

He looked laboured after that in close chance he had in the 1st. He tumbled into the boards earlier in that period. I think he hurt his shoulder again.

 

[cujo4ever]

Montreals PK is impressive. They're giving the PP zero time to make passes in their own zone and the neutral zone. Gotta take advantage of the open man up ice.

 

[TML fan]

Marner does look really bad tonight. One might even say....distracted? 

 

[BrownRolo]

He looked laboured after that in close chance he had in the 1st. He tumbled into the boards earlier in that period. I think he hurt his shoulder again.

He has looked like that for a while.

I'm not sure if it's a physical thing or a mental thing. He doesn't look like a dominant player to me.

He hasn't done much since early in the 1st ... but doesn't he have a 3 or 4 game goal streak?

Their program is solid. Indeed it should open up a lot of space for whoever is not being forechecked mid-ice.

If Hainsey could still skate he'd be pretty solid.

He always gets his goals but he doesn't seem to be all over the ice like in seasons past.

Hope he turns it around starting here in the 3rd. I just get the impression he doesn't give a f**k.

Another OT game coming? If the Leafs actually had a PP this game could be over by now.

And what scares me is the Habs are bound to get one or two more and put one in.

PP is a concern too much talent to look this dismal.

Players have to be more aggressive. Pursuit by some with the extra guy is atrocious. Like I said too complacent no urgency whatsoever.

Kadri and Matthews playing tonight? Both usually play well against Montreal tonight ain?t seeing it.

 

[herman]

The Habs make a lot of goalie contact, something their goalie really doesn?t like.

 

[lc9]

Not a great play by Rielly there.  The turnovers, bane of their play.
