Montreal Canadiens

Habs don't look into it so far. Lots of sloppy mistakes. It's like last year all over again.

Holy Oshie! Nice shot and speed!

And wow! Nice comeback right after the goal! Flash!

Great shot but no way should he ever get a shot from there unchallenged when two dmen are back.

Agreed. They gave him the middle and with his speed, they had no chance to do anything.

Tokarski still has no idea where the puck is on most plays.

Yeah I wasn't confident at all last year and it doesn't look like it will change this year.

On an other note, nice steal by Galchenyuk for the goal!

Tinordi has been horrible in the first. On the first goal, he was weak and misread completely the play. The SEGa line is playing great even though they got caught on the ice for the 1st goal.

Condon is much more in control of his body and knows where the puck is. It's way more evident after watching a half-game of Tokarski playing out of control.

[ericdaoust]

Semin has an insane wrist shot.

Fleischmann looks good as well. Set up a great chance just now.

Thanks for the updates, I couldn't watch the end of the game.

Do you think Condon would be a better option as a backup now? It won't happen, but at some point would he be?

Hard to tell with one game in the books. I do think Condon will be the next backup though. He was very good in this one.

Very small sample (half a preseason game), I know. I just don't like how Tokarski feels lost most of the time.

I liked him a lot as a habs. Best of luck going forward.

Good depth players and even played above where he should have been during some lean years.
