Leafs @ Habs - Oct 24th, 7:00pm - CBC, TSN 1050

Feels like every time Polak is on tonight he's getting exposed by speed.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Well that was insanely unlucky there, but Polak still let Desharnais do whatever he wanted on that rush.

Doug Armstrong: I'm telling you guys, I said oh Polak? Well we're going to need Gunnarsson in return and Nonis says okay. So I say, oh and we're going to need the 94th overall pick too and he says okay again. Trying not to laugh before I could hang up was the hardest thing I've ever done as GM.

... so I then I look at the trade sheet and it says that they're retaining salary too!

;D

That pick btw turned out to be Ville Husso who has been really highly touted, this season especially, he's off to a great start and will probably play for Finland at the WJHC.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Wow, what a shift. Or a couple of them really.

 

[ZBBM]

Now THAT was an awesome shift.

 

[brothert]

this is a butt ugly game by both teams

 

[Arn]

That's the best shift I've seen from the Leafs in years

[/hyperbole]

 

[CarltonTheBear]

I don't think Phaneuf's been used on the PK at all tonight. That's so weird (and refreshing).

 

[L K]

Harrington got his 1st NHL point on the Komarov goal. 

Komarov's 4 goals and 5 points has him in the lead for goals and tied for 1st in points with Phaneuf.  I have to say that I have seen Phaneuf skate a lot more than I did under Carlyle.

 

[ZBBM]

My accolades so far tonight go to JVR and Harrington.  Nice work too by Grabner on the PK there.

I've got Rielly in there for sure, JVR and Harrington are duking it out for the other spot with JVR having the edge.

Komarov's 4 goals and 5 points has him in the lead for goals and tied for 1st in points.

A few people on Twitter talked about how he played up the lineup in the KHL, especially during the lockout where he did well on a line with Ovechkin.

He might be one of those excellent third man on the line kinda guys.

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

Rielly looks great.

 

[ZBBM]

Rielly looks great.

His skating ability has allowed him get into a couple of shooting seams tonight.

 

[ZBBM]

We're actually sort of kicking their asses right now.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Kadri playing like he's 6'4", 220lbs.

 

[WhatIfGodWasALeaf]

Surprised the Leafs didn't get a goalie interference penalty on that Price trip.

I haven't checked the numbers, so this might be off, but I get a sense of impending doom when I see Polak and Marincin out there.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

We're actually sort of kicking their asses right now.

This is looking a lot like the Habs of last year. Get a lead, and let Price do the rest.

Right you are.  And, for all the fawning the commentators do over him, Price is an incredible goaltender.  MTL absolutely needs to cash in while he's in his prime.

 

[ZBBM]

Oh Bernier.  You HAVE to have that.
