Preseason: Canadiens @ Leafs - Sept. 27th, 7:00pm - SN, Fan 590

[CarltonTheBear]

Preseason game #4 tonight. Expect a fairly NHL-heavy line-up for the Leafs in this one, including the likely preseason debut of Max Domi on the top line.

So many options with these forward lines. I still like a line of Joshua - Laughton - Roy. Too bad Maccelli doesn't play center.

Matthews likely skipping this game

One guy on the cusp I've been a little curious about is Benning. If he could get back to how he was playing a few years ago he's got the ability to beat out Myers for the 7D spot. This makes it look like Berube's giving him a shot.

Either way, having a righty instead of Benoit puts OEL in a position to succeed

Confirmed that the mostly NHL squad will be Matthews-free.

Matthews feels like he just needs 2 preseason games to get going

WHY NO REIMER

Leafs down one

Game would be well in hand if we had played Lorentz-Laughton-Cowan

Tavares tossed from the faceoff dot and Calle Jarnkrok steps in and wins the draw left handed

Tavares on the PP cuts the lead in half

Robertson hard on the puck on entry, Nylander hard on the forecheck to force a turnover, and Tavares patiently slips the puck into the net.

How'd Domi look?

How'd Domi look?

Looked like it was his first preseason game and that he feels his value is tied to taking dumb penalties

Well said. It's like his brain cannot compute to stop taking stupid penalties.

The first one was cancelled out so *shrug

Might be the last time we see Robertson in a Leaf’s uniform. Seems Berube gave him ice in all situations and he made mistakes in all situations. His thinking and vision are very linear
