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

[MSZ]

Thanks JT for moving your legs at the end!

He has been saving all of his fuel just for that move all season long.

 

[crump]

Woll was damned good tonight. Tavares with a good net drive and Knies beats coasting Nylander to the net. Live another day. Give us elation or crush us emotionally.

Entertaining game. Enjoy this one while it lasts.

 

[Confucius]

Especially without Matthews and Brodie!

And Reaves only played 8 minutes so he’ll be rested and ready

 

[PromisedLand]

Have to give JT all the credit in the world, that's a strong net move.

Loved the Domi line.

Woll played so well, calm and poised.

WE DESERVED THAT GAME.

Tavares gotta be called out even more in the next GDT. Simple!

 

[Rare Jewel]

ef me, the Kool-Aid is out now...

 

[The Masters]

Woll and knies v good tn

 

[Schennanigans]

Maybe the best they been this series. Woll was amazing. Can he do it two more times though.

 

[egd27]

I figured the guy from Arizona would get an OT, just figured it'd be the other one.

 

[fahad203]

Nope.

Knies - Matthews - Nylander
Bertuzzi - Domi - Marner
Robertson - Tavares - Jarnkrok
Holmberg - Kampf - Reaves

If McMann was back, we could run a pretty optimized lineup, especially since Boston is not a bruising team.

Knies - Matthews - Nylander
Bertuzzi - Domi - Marner
Robertson - Tavares - McMann
Holmberg - Kampf - Jarnkrok

I would put Gregor instead of Reaves

I think his speed can be a factor. Not sure if Reaves is needed this stage of this series

 

[Stephen]

All the credit in the world for that play but he hasn't won a board battle in the series.

He’s won quite a number of board battles from what I recall from earlier in the series. But he’s definitely struggled to make any play as a follow up.

 

[HEAVY DUTY]

 

[DarkKnight]

Tavares gotta be called out even more in the next GDT. Simple!

He lead all forwards in minutes too, 24, wow.

 

[Evilhomer]

Boston also lost Carlo in this game, which is a huge loss for them.

 

[wingman75]

And Reaves only played 8 minutes so he’ll be rested and ready

Robertson could not have played much either?

 

[Mr_Fun]

I thought JT was battling all night. I know at times he can look futile, but around the net, he can still get it done.

Interesting to see who Boston goes to on in the nets on Thursday night.

 

[All Mod Cons]

3.07 am in the uk. go leafs!

woll was superb. huge effort without matthews.

this team has been performing better on the road than at home, ironically.

f*** me I used to do that every game listening to the radio commentary on NHL.com

I was an insomniac for months on end. Most of the time the Leafs lost as well, but Bowen was an awesome listen.

Remember watching the Philly vs Leafs playoffs on Channel 5 I think way back. The one when Roenick scored.

 

[Stephen]

I figured the guy from Arizona would get an OT, just figured it'd be the other one.

I guess even Matthews needs someone else to lift him up sometimes. Hopefully he’s back to Game 2 for with almost a week off.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Highlight of the night.

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

 

[PromisedLand]

Marner had a great game

I really wish he'd shoot when shot is available though

 

[57 Years No Cup]

Tavares should learn from Tavares and do that more often ffs.

100%.

 

[ruaware41]

He did. I don't know that anyone had a bad game. If we had this effort in every game, might not be needing this kind of comeback.

Slick Mitchy gonna take strays for the rest of his career though, sadly.

Rielly shot the puck too much Jarnkrok looked very average just seems to lack enough of a combination of skill and size and skating to make an impact, Holmberg caused a very bone headed icing Liljegren looked like an imposter as usual.

That's all I got for below average-bad games.

 

[wingman75]

He lead all forwards in minutes too, 24, wow.

He had a few moments where he was struggling to move, but was good overall.

As soon as he got that puck I may or may not have yelled 'take it to the f***in net'! Good man that Tavares when he listens lol

He has to be that good and even better in the next one.

 

[Blanka]

thanks so much. really appreciated.

i didn't start my hockey fandom until a few years ago. kadri was here.

saw the leafs, was hooked, i'm sticking with them.

tonight that was just guts. hanging in there. digging out the win. the boys were great.

I sincerely hope they use this to put some kind of a run together; reward you for your support. Hell, reward us all lol.

Good to have you with us.

 

[disgruntleddave]

I guess I'm happy. Still horrible at choosing to shoot.

Anyone else feel that Boston played horribly tonight, only turned it on to start OT and we're fortunate to win?

That's how it looked like to me..

 

[Gallagbi]

He lead all forwards in minutes too, 24, wow.

Surprising, but they leaned on him for some key draws
