Montreal just dog walked the Leafs



Montreal just dog walked the Leafs

The Leafs ran into a stone wall night one as Montembeault stood tall and stole two points as he shut the door. That and more in today’s NHL hockey video!

  1. I like Monty. But I honestly don't think he'll be able to keep this up. He's a good goalie that shows great flashes like in this game but keeping this up for 50 games won't be sustainable. The defense did a pretty good job last night but they need to improve. All that said, it was a great game to watch.

  2. Honestly, Monty had a great game. But besides 47 saves, there were ~23 shots blocked. Habs defence was not good, and they need to be better. The goalie can only do so much. Forgot the score, forget the shutout. If this is Habs defence, we’re in trouble. The score shows a great start when the rosters are considered, but the detailed stats show a terrible weakness. But I also don’t expect this to be the norm, so I’m glad we won game one.

  3. Toronto was by far the better team and deserved the win. 47 shots. Fire 47 shots at a goalie and 99% of the time one will go in. First game of the season when no team has yet settled in – this was a brutal and trajic way to have a long streak come to an end. The Leafs in this one game did not deserve that. They have played other games where they deserved the loss and the streak to end but this game was not that game. They only lost by 1 power play goal and Montreal did have more power plays plus the only 5 on 3 of the game. I am unconcerned over the loss, but seeing any team's streak, and I mean ANY team, end like this just sucks.

  4. Montembault was great, don't get me wrong…but Habs did a great job preventing the dangerous shots from the wheelhouse, in the slot, where Matthews scores most of his goals. Leafs were able to pepper him in close, but the shots were inflated.

  5. Watching Mtch 😢crybaby Marner “work” the front of the net in the first was funny. Was Berube making an example of his weakness on his feet? So fucking overpaid, all those goofs.

  6. This is why hockey is such a great game. On any given night, any team could beat any other team. Especially because on any given night, a goaltender could just play the absolute game of his life, and Montembeault did exactly that.

  7. The Leafs played pretty well and just ran into a goalie who was on. Stolarz had a great game as well on the other side of the ice. I. thought overall that the Hans first line had an so and so night. The defense needs improvement although it seems a mite better than last year. I guess we will see for sure as one game does not a season make. Hutson looked dangerous. Had some lapses that could have cost the Hans. Goes with his style of play and learning the ropes in the NHL. As a Habs fan it was nice to see Savard crush Domi. Hey Max piece of advice Chewbacca may be a gentle sole but he will end you if you piss him off. Other than that it's nice to see all that preseason nonsense in the rear view mirror and see teams battling to win the game.
