Game 1 - Habs @ Leafs - Thursday Oct 6th 2011 - 19:00 EST - 2-0 Win

[Scot4bz]

You know, Devils fans can laugh all they want at us getting Steckel (as seemed to be the HFBoards theme), but if all he does is win draws like this I will be more than pleased.

So true. Good face-off guys are hard to come by.

 

[Fanatic]

Steckel is 15 of 21 so far.

 

[BlueWhiteBlood]

Funny I thought he said something similar about Kessel during the CP24 interview.

I listened to that one on Firefox, so I may have missed that.

Those fans don't want to consider that Steckel was hurt while he was there.

 

[L K]

Kessel has made a few nice plays with the puck tonight.

I'm not sure that I have seen him do much beyond the faceoffs tonight, but I certainly haven't seen him be the slightest bit of a liability at either end of the ice.  Combine that with his faceoff success and that's a pretty solid 4th line centre.

Impressive shut-down play from the Leafs for the last while

I thought he did good work on the PK.

It is, but you could also say MTL has played a really flat game.  That SOG advantage in the first was a gift from us, more than them generating lots of chances.  And they haven't really tested Reimer much since.  Not that I have a problem with that....

He's been solid on the pk aside from faceoff duties too, to me, fwiw.

True montreal has been sloppy this period

 

[BlueWhiteBlood]

I love Komisarek tonight, somebody has to put that in video! The guy is pumped up tonight.

 

[Kin]

Hey, Jim Hughson, we get it. Deshairnais is french.

Me too he was really holding the fort in front of Reimer there

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

We need Sean Avery in there to tell us what Moen-Komisarek were saying to each other there.

 

[TheMightyOdin]

Goo crowd reaction there.

 

[Tigger]

Huh, Healy just said the Leafs had the second best block shot record last year, he's right.

 

[Propellertop]

Little too much hook on that one but nice try.....

 

[Derk]

Didn't that puck go through the top of the crease?

 

[Scot4bz]

Sweeeeeeep!
