[AuraSphere]

there is no chance he said that lol

 

[ThrowDemTongs]

Holy shit. I just realized you guys were talking about Brady Tkachuk, not Tom Brady! I was gonna start throwing hands

 

[BTP]

SOLID WIN

15 MORE

 

[sxvnert]

No way that happened.

 

[Commander Clueless]

Nice win!

I thought the Leafs might come out strong. Good show!

Stolarz was strong and the powerplay looked great. I mean they got a lot of PP practice so... That's good!

 

[Coffee]

@OVO16 my bad, G.

 

[SprDaVE]

there is no chance he said that lol

No way that happened.

He didn't.

 

[6ix]

That lived up to expectations. Keep it going buds!

I could see Holmberg coming out for Pacioretty for the 2nd line. I still think it can work, but Berube did well to adjust.

I'd launch Pacioretty like a missile on one of their high value puck movers and see if they don't play all wobbled up like Wade Redden the rest of the way.

 

[Suntouchable13]

Lalonde seems like he wants the Leafs to lose.

Ottawa looked like the Leafs in game 1 vs. Boston last year - more concerned with hitting anything that moves than actually winning the game.

They'll be more disciplined, less nervous and Toronto's PP isn't going to be that good, so I expect the games to get much closer than tonight.

Good start for the Leafs though, did what they had to do, got the W, no injuries, now just carry that over to game 2 and head to Ottawa up 2-0.

I don't think I ever saw a Leafs team get that good of a PP differential over the other team in over 10 years, playoffs or regular season. Im not even exaggerating. Rival fans are gonna complain but the Leafs HAVE been on the receiving end of this level of PP differential many many times, especially against Boston over the years. Cry me a f***ing river.

Leafs were excellent on the PP, average 5 on 5 and Stolarz was great. They can play even better than this.

Yup. This is the main take away.
Good win, but we can play still a lot better than this, which should be concerning for Ottawa.

I also expect Stolarz will settle the rebounds, even though he was good tonight.

A soldier once asked Auston Matthews for his autograph. Auston replied, "sure, if I can have yours."

Few.

 

[Kazparov]

I just had a good long drink on the Sens board where all their fans tears are whining about the refs.

Delicious.

GLG. Leafs in 5

 

[Leafs98]

Solid win. Special teams starting strong.

Gotta keep Ottawa frustrated and taking dumb penalties. That team is stupid.

Travis Greene wil need to explain what he meant by "aggressive" to his team. Thats on him for not explaining that to the knuckleheads

 

[BayStBullies]

Win the next one, don't let them think they ever had a chance.

 

[garce]

Ironically I thought Greig looked like more of what Sens fans hype Brady to be lol. I want that dudes face caved in, means he's doing something right tbh

Brady’s ego will handle Brady , can’t stop acting up. Probably banged up from all the capering at the 4 Nations, that’s a shame

I could see Holmberg coming out for Pacioretty for the 2nd line. I still think it can work, but Berube did well to adjust.

I actually liked Holmberg tonight. No adjustments for me yet

 

[LeafSteel]

Beautiful.

End these guys.

Go Leafs Go!

 

[TheShape]

Professional win. Sens will bounce back as they can't play much worse than that. Leafs were definitely the more mature side.

Keep throwing everything on net, Ullmark is shook.

 

[TakeTheBody]

It's nice to be the ALPHA in the rink for a change. Initiate not retaliate. Hide the women and children. Outhit? That's fine, it took them out of their game. I'm so glad Dubas and Keefe are gone. That style of play isn't going to win post-season. Dubas thought Kampf was the answer at 3C. Now he's not even playing. I don't mean to take a shot a Kampf he's fine at 4C. BUT he's not a 3C especially in the playoffs. It's different now. It may not happen this year but it WILL happen soon enough. Damn well better I'm 67 and want to see another. GREAT GAME. GO LEAFS GO!!!!!!

How are they feeling about cross checks to the face now? Still the same?

 

[SmoggyTwinkles]

Well, that was satisfying to say the least.

 

[CelticDruid]

Awesome game, enjoyed that thoroughly. That being said, the refs called a lot, and they won't do as much going forward. Ottawa also had the jitters; I think game 2 will be much closer, likely a one-goal game.

The game will be very intense.
Sleep mode and weak calls affected the Sens.

We needed to clean up the crease area, and at times, we were too casual coming back for the puck.
Good win though.

 

[Stephen]

Lalonde seems like he wants the Leafs to lose.

Seems like he wants to sound smart and have a job in the NHL. I can relate to that.
