Post-Game Talk: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Leafs up 2-0! Win 4-3 Game 2

God Damn Berube has these boys DIALED

Because votes for coach of the year are due the final day of the regular season.

Even if you wanted to secretly consider playoff performance it's impossible. The Leafs won the division yes, but with only 6 more points than last year

Berube’s work with the Leafs is far more deserving than MSL

 

[Warden of the North]

That's why I said 'pretty much invisible'. Yes, he scored the game winner, but did little else before that. And his goal was as much a surprise to him as everyone else.

M&M are paid to be superstars, but never play like superstars in the playoffs. One game winning goal (the first third period go ahead playoff goal of his career, ffs!) and a couple of good minutes of defensive play does not erase the f*** all else he has done.

I used to love the kid and hoped he would be our next Gilmour, now I just want him gone.

Have some perspective dude. We're 6-2 in the playoffs and half way to eliminating the defending champs. We aren't there if M&M aren't being excellent defensive players and stifling the opposition's top lines.

 

[DarkKnight]

Not even bounce back. We are playing the same way no matter what score is. We just install our pace and rules for the game as a boss! We just know that game is never out of reach and our offence eventually comes through so no need to panic.

I give Berube credit, he preaches stick to the process, you can see a different calmness when adversity comes. He's been there, they're buying in completely.

Hate to admit it but I think the refs were getting a bit of payback because Maurice made them look stupid over the last few days with his comments. About time we get something ref wise going our way.

 

[Rare Jewel]

We're beating Tampa in round two!!

Or Boston in GM7...

However, with some more luck, he may have gotten the state right at least..

 

[Clark4Ever]

Florida gave us their best effort tonight and we found a way to come out on top. Huge win.

Woll came through in the clutch.

 

[ahmedou]

The most important save of the game.

The McCabe's save. That saved the 4-3 lead.

And blocking shots.

 

[Clark4Ever]

Officially the most successful Leafs team since 2004. 6 wins in the playoffs.

The ex Habs have delivered so far.

 

[weems]

The biggest thing is we're not beating ourselves as much anymore and especially aren't overhandling the puck in dangerous areas.

Playing a more simple, north-south game and when in trouble, just put it into a safe area and live to fight another day.

We're beating Tampa in round two!!

50/50. GLG

 

[DarkKnight]

Maurice looked rattled post game, rarely see that look on his face. He knows this team is for real I'll tell you that

[Clark4Ever]

Yup! And loving it.

Funny thing is, the last time the Leafs were up 2-0 in a series (1987), I would have been watching just like I am now... that is almost 30 years ago. It's been a ride!

Edit: Almost 40 years... mother of Jesus!

I remember that series against Detroit like it was yesterday. Hopefully this series will have a happier ending for us.

ha ha, I wasn't going to say anything lol

 

[notbias]

The Leafs' history is sad.

For reference, Edmonton had three players who would make this list last year.

Draisaitl (18)
McDavid (17)
Bouchard (13)

And I am going to take a wild guess and say that those aren't the best that franchise has ever had.

 

[mix1home]

I can't wait for Maurice's post game

Something, something, boarding, something, give us more pp.

 

[ahmedou]

 

[The Podium]

I’m uncomfortable feeling comfortable

The boys can really shutdown a 1 goal game eh? Tonight’s game was the first time I felt the lead wasn’t in jeopardy. They look so confident defending right now.

 

[Stephen]

Small correction, we were up 2-0 in a series 2 weeks ago.
