Post-Game Talk: 2-1 OT Win ... Still alive!

[Sypher04]

I think you slide Tavares down to 3C and move him up for some ozone draws with Matthews/Nylander.

You can find 18 mins for Tavares even if he is only playing 12 as 3C.

Definitely also an option I would consider

 

[Evilhomer]

We are two wins away from everyone having to agree with everything @Evilhomer says for one round

You can hate me because I'm pretty, but not because I'm right. See you in OT in game 7.

 

[Blanche Blanche]

Since the Marchand wrong leg grab dive...

The refs have smartened up to all the Bruins diving embellishments...

Thats why the one ref was even shown to tell Mcavoy and Pasta to F-Off.
And one other moment similar - akin to cut that shit out!!

And Imagine the shock when the ref grabbed Marchand to avoid a srum, and he fell and made it look like a tackle.

Refs finally rolled eyes at Bruins whining and crying all game while embelishhing every other play.

Our PP sucks anyways... but hey...

I call it when they are bad.. I'll call it when they get it right as well

 

[SprDaVE]

If you can get Matthews back you’d at least have to consider putting him between nylander and JT

Not a bad idea. I like Holmberg a lot but I'd consider sitting him out, play Matthews with Nylander and Knies, put JT with Robby and Jarnkrok. Maybe put Holmberg on the wing and sit Robertson? Either or.

Domi with Marner and Bertuzzi was pretty solid.

I have a feeling Matthews might be out though.

 

[ITM]

Real talk, is it time to sit Reaves?

Maybe so. Maybe if McMann's ready.

But I think Reaves is earning his pay. I wish Keefe would use him a little more judiciously and use our tenth and eleventh forwards as a quasi-fourth line, to supplement our top three lines.

We're "there" where our big dogs need to be our big dogs and get into that 27/28-minute area where other premier players operate in the playoffs.

 

[Lightsol]

Highlight of the night.

Man Marchand's flopping has been so not subtle this series

Between his slashing, hooking, cross-checking and blatant diving every chance he gets, I'm still stunned this was the first game he took a penalty in.

No doubt we've been getting the whistle as they say. I have noticed a lot of calls that have been made in the past, not being made in the past 3 games.

 

[BertCorbeau]

I liked Knies threatening Pastrnak with violence with a smile.

Knies is growing up

 

[StevenB]

If Matthews is healthy, do you break up that Domi line?

I don’t see how you can. I think you need to run Nylander with Matthews and give Knies a spot on that LW. Let JT take 3rd line matchups with Robertson and Jarnkrok. I’d run Kampf with Dewar and Holmberg on the 4th, Reavo has been a spark plug in this series but he’s becoming a defensive liability again and I think his energy has rubbed off on our players already. Everyone is playing with a bit more snarl (aside from 88 and 16 but that’s not going to be solved by playing Reavo)

 

[Rare Jewel]

Lyubushkin is +5 with 3 assists so far.

Well, I guess he has to stay then.

11m?



3ish.

 

[Leafsfan74]

Started an argument with my old man about this. He was talking about how "Marchand and Pastrnak have shown up and no one on the Leafs has" and I told him that Pastrnak has actually not been very good and only had 4 points, mostly PP points. And he said that "Pastrnak has 6 points and is dominating". Huh?

Don't argue with your Dad man. Just nod and say "ok Dad you're right".

Leafs fans can't ever be right anyways, lol, it's been 57 years

 

[crump]

Knies and Woll are the new core. 2 on 1 with Bert and Domi was hilarious.

I kept hearing Beavis chuckling back and forth with Butthead during that 2:1

 

[Blanka]

Turns out you can win a game with 2 goals this series

You just need a real goalie in net

 

[Jacquestrapless]

It's a good thing the linesman speared Marchand. Else, he would try to goad Holmberg into a penalty lmao



Good wrastling by Holmberg though. Enough to take Marchand out of the play

I have a feeling Matthews might be out though.

Yup, definitely another good option. And as notbias pointed out, nothing stopping us from giving JT some shift with 34/88 even if he is regularly lining up on 3rd line.

Marner definitely looked his best tonight of the series by a good margin.

 

[Commander Clueless]

Joey Woll back to making his case for goalie of the future.

Matthew Knies looking like he might have some clutch DNA.

 

[StevenB]

Knies is growing up

Hell of a statement game from him. Even outside of the scrum and OT goal. He’s going to be a problem to play against as he continues to develop

 

[Rare Jewel]

You can hate me because I'm pretty, but not because I'm right. See you in OT in game 7.

What happened in game 4 Nostradamus?

I dress Holmberg over Robertson myself, let him play with Tavares.

Unfortunately, we also need to remember the NHL has Wes MacCauley ready to go for us...

 

[TheBeastCoast]

So who do we talk to about banning Bryan Hayes from the arena on Thursday? Guy needs to be locked in the Overdrive studio.

 

[Cleetus]

Marchand saying it was over in 5, this one feels good lol

[bax]

Absolutely love playoff Knies!
