Matthews on an ozone draw with JT and McKenna.

That’s a little better than starting him ever done face off with McCabe and Benoit.

Pretty cool if Tanev is actually Tanev and can stick all year.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Groulx who was so impressive last year looks pretty sucky so far.

 

[Preston]

Pretty cool if Tanev is actually Tanev and can stick all year.

Hard to tell in preseason where everything looks slower, but he seems to be moving well

 

[Killer93]

Must win

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Smart play by Danford there.

 

[MindzEye]

Matthews....end to end rush?

What is this sorcery?

 

[Preston]

Auston with some explosiveness? Where was that last year? Best shape of his life?

 

[LeafGm]

Looked pretty fleet of foot there.

 

[Preston]

Impossible to tell how good Andrae is from this game obviously but his puck moving is already a breath of fucking fresh air. D are moving the puck pretty well tonight which feels new. Raddysh too obviously.

 

[CRL]

Lots of bad passes though

 

[LeafOfFaith]

If Matthews is vintage, and Tanev is vintage and healthy, and McKenna is a stud, we're going to be amazing.

 

[Preston]

I'm not expecting the vintage Matthews shot to return, but at least give me that explosiveness and power.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Why not?

 

[MindzEye]

Roslovic sucks

Yeah, Raddysh just being a living breathing defender who isn't afraid of the puck has been great. Was nice to see someone who isn't Rielly look dangerous being last man in, not being afraid to go for a walk down the boards with it with the possibility of doing something dangerous with it.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Roslovic sucks

On cue, nice shift by him right after. He's probably going to be useful. There's a reason Matty likes him.

 

[leafman101]

Tanev and Matthews do look healthy.

 

[Habsy]

Leafs suck
