Pre-Game Thoughts
From what I have seen on the ice, the Leaf saplings have grown strong. From what I see when looking out my window however, leafs appear to be falling.
First Period
- Victor Mete is good. In case no one has mentioned that yet….
- I wonder if the rest of the world just feels like slow motion to Paul Byron.
- Tatar-Tots makes sure the Habs don’t need to Ketchup with Leafs early in the first.
- A turnover is just a turnover when Carey Price is on point.
- I hope Price has travelers insurance, because that out-of-net adventure was dangerous.
- Kotkaniemi is a lot of fun to watch.
- Tatar came pretty close to scoring a second.
- Okay, so the Leafs Power Play looks like it lives up to the hype. /
Second Period
- That Matthews kid on the Leafs looks good. Definitely going to make the team.
- Kotkaniemi blesses us all with a 4-on-3 power play instead of 4-on-4.
- Tartar decides 3-on-3 would be more fun. Sure. Why not?
- Lehkonen did a lot in a short amount of time there.
- Brendan Gallagher, from Mete and Kotkaniemi!!!! I love that. Let’s do that again./

- Schlem-NO, don’t do that. Stop giving them power plays.
- Oh no, Jeff Petry is hopping. Hopping is never a good sign in hockey./
Third Period
- We are starting the third period of a tied game on the power play. This could be FUN!
- Update: It is not fun. Leafs score short handed.
- Is it Deja vu? Is it a replay? NOPE. It’s Leafs scoring again, 20 seconds later.
- SCHLEMKO! Thank goodness. Now we can pretend the Leafs didn’t just get 2…
- Scherbak’s scoring chance there was one of the only times I have noticed him in this game.
- DO NOT TOUCH CAREY PRICE! Do not tap Carey Price. Don’t even look at him too aggressively, OKAY?
- Gallagher took down a goalie, that is probably the centre square on Habs bingo.
- Minus a period of of 20 seconds, Montreal played well./
