Monty looked impressive tonight. A shutout for the team is a great start to the season.
Beating the Leafs makes it so much sweeter.

What a great opening game for Montreal and what a performance from Montembeault; he made his best Carey Price impression.

*I'm favoured only God knows how much I praise Him, * $230k every 4weeks! I now have a big mansion and can now afford anything and also support God’s work and the church.

[Matts]

The Habs goalie had him self a night! Good for him.

252 games wihtout beeing shoutout is actually insane good on monty

[RM-mhjc]

Montreal was a give away machine in their own end. Clean that up guys

Goal GoalGoal is hitting 40+ this year

Are you kidding me again with the highlight package Sportsnet? Did 75% of this game occur in the first period? So many great plays in the second and third you missed... fire your editor they obviously just post 90% of the content from the first... every time...

Anytime Mtl beat Tor it's a great night

[jozef]

It was amazing game. Great pass from Slavkovsky, Goalie was amazing

[AAAAAA]

Still not good on 5 on 3 and the PP, but Caufield scored earlier in the match. (1st Period in the 7:48 mark of the period) The defensive effort was the only positive about the match from the team tonight, and Montembeault stood on his head tonight. Let's see what happens in less than 24 Hours from now at TD Garden.

[eloimireault]

In less than 20 games in NHL history, a goaltender has saved 48 shots in a shutout. Montembeault is amazing

[chrisg]

November 20, 2021. That was the last time the Leafs were shut out. Let's hope it's another 200+ games until it happens again. On to New Jersey.

[carnthecorby]

I love the fact Leafs finally have Stolarz. I traded for him in NHL 18 as my back-up to Andersen.

[joshuahmiceli]

More shots but looked like less quality. Always a great night when the hab’s win!

[edy]

Oh what a lovely start we are off to for the Leafs! Never disappoint with the season opener losses!

[bobdobalini]

I hope Toronto has enough in the cap left for a forward that can shoot.

[meshworkj]

The leafs on paper... amazing, in game? Shutout. Wild.

[gabrielmorales]

Horrible editing on SN, all we watched was an entire highlight of the first period. What, is there only one period in NHL or what.

[castle]

That final save against Matthews at the end was such a great opening game statement from Monty. What a performance.
