    Bert’s hair looks fucking mint tonight.

    As much as I love the Leafs, I have seen the Leafs play Montreal in both Toronto and Montreal. Montreals arena is like a cathedral. It feels special to be there. Our arena is nice but its more corporate and doesn’t have the religious experience feel to it. Fuck Montreal but damn the experience is amazing.

  3. re-verse

    Natalie Morris is a wonderful singer and I’m so glad we have her.

  4. CMDRShepardN7

    After watching them the last 2 games, I’m not used to the Habs actually playing like an NHL team.

  5. Ehxcalibur

    this shit is aging me… seeing sons and nephews of NHL players I grew up watching play in the NHL now…

  6. Volderon90

    I’ve lost count how many penalties Domi has gotten in the games he’s played. It’s *alot*

  7. yuhh_yuhh

    Didnt even get the game on and down 0-1 lmao

  8. Shooternow

    Can’t even give the refs a chance, looks like he’s got a target on his back already unfortunately. Max will have to just be smarter.

  9. Jonesdeclectice

    When you’re playing MM & AM together on the PK, why in earth would you throw them right back out at 5v5? They need to rest.

  10. Svalbard38

    Normally I’d say Domi should try to clean up his game but fuck it. We’re going to get penalized regardless, let’s get our pound of flesh.

  11. Jonesdeclectice

    Norlinder? Sounds like Giant Tiger brand Nylander.

  12. rookiewaves

    Remember when matthews used to be dominant?

  13. Regardlesslie

    Are players allowed to hit the goalie when he’s in the trapezoid? The amount of time the Montreal goalie spends blocking the lane bugs me

  14. Shooternow

    How many games will Bert get with Marner and Matthews…. if he doesn’t click, Knies is for sure the next guy up, right?

  15. HemiKooks

    It takes Gregor to show it’s worth it to just put it on net. I’m already seeing the top lines looking for a perfect play. That needs to stop.

  16. TiredReader87

    Gregor deserved that one. He’s had a great preseason

  17. whatamidoing_2521

    I think it’d be amusing if our rag tag group of warm bodies managed to win the 2 in Montreal only for our (almost) normal roster to drop this one at home.

    It’s preseason, I really wouldn’t think anything of it, it would just be funny

  18. ChildhoodLoud3031

    7 shots against isn’t good.

  19. Still Hall & Oates? Mah boys, it’s time for a change!

  20. TiredReader87

    How did San Jose let Gregor go anyhow? How dumb

  21. HemiKooks

    I have yet to see Bertuzzi crash the net. Isn’t that a skill of his? Matthews and Marner need to cut out the fancy shit and just shoot it on net…

  22. QuickSerenity

    This shit has me PUMPED and it’s only pre season 😂

  23. dolphin_spit

    would love to see mailloux get absolutely rocked over and over again

  24. JonJonFTW

    Good hit from Matthews there to keep the play alive

  25. CMDRShepardN7

    Damn, he swept the leg like a true Cobra.

  26. SpinningDickTwist

    I’d like to see Matthews keep hip dumping people. Man has birthing hips

  27. ZachKearns

    Kypreos back on the regional broadcasts. I know a lot of people don’t like him here but he’s exciting and despite his odd hot take, actually can be enjoyable to listen to. Pretty pumped about that.
