Post-Game Talk: Big bad leafs win 5-2

[Zonk]

That seemed to come from the 'aging' posters on this board.

I prefer the term "experienced". I watched the Leafs win four cups while I was still in elementary school. Having lived through the Ballard years, I have a lot more appreciation for the current Leafs front office and more patience with the players.

Wow.. another tough night for the Cynick’s favourite team the Montreal Canadiens

 

[Racer88]

Extend Dubas! Extend Keefe again! Don't trade anyone. Marner is amazing!

Take a breath…..

*The more Liljegren plays, the better he looks.
*Muzzin winning the battle against Marchand.
*Campbell doing the job and looking very calm doing it.
*Tavares, yes please.
*Matthews, quiet, but man he can score.
*Marner has turned the corner.
*Kamph and Kase are going to make this team better.

Boston is a hard team for the Leafs to beat. Their top line is that good. They're physical. They've been in the Leafs heads for years. While not a dominant win, I would think this game will advance the Leafs confidence levels. A very good week for the team.

What I liked about the game is the Leafs scored goals by crashing the net.
AM got one like that and JT another one. On top of that, the team seems to be crashing the crease.
I think they still need to learn to lock down the game as Bruins was just buzzing non stop with 11mins to go. Glad the boys weathered the storm and Bruins is one of the best teams in the league esp with Patrice who seems to be winning all Ozone face offs.

Is winning three in a row against Vegas, Tampa and Boston good?

I am sure that the Toronto media will find some way to downplay the teams recent success...

 

[Nineteen67]

They can be physical.

 

[Zybalto]

Vegas is still shorthanded... You couldn't hold on against a team missing most of their top 6?

Vegas has won 5 of 6 now so they arnt quite the AHL team so many "fans" around here were painting them as.

 

[Cpt Maple Leaf]

f*** ya! That's what I'm talking about. We got our Mojo back!

 

[ottomaddox]

Boston can *** * *** ** *****!

 

[BayStBullies]

It's nice to no longer face Chara or a great goalie.

 

[Racer88]

Hopefully the bitching will be kept to a minimum on our board for the net few days. You guys can keep it together until Monday right?

I don’t see any problem as long as they continue to put in the effort they have been lately

 

[Leaf Rocket]

Hmmm, is it time for me to start watching the games again, or will that just ruin everything?

if you just watch for fun yes, if you wanna watch seriously hold out till playoffs

 

[Holls Blackmail]

They're playing Lil Troy again. I guess that's the win song.

 

[TheShape]

Impressive. But man, where is our depth. We weren't winning because our big 4 weren't clicking. Now we're winning because they are. What happens when they aren't? Can we get someone else on the score sheet?

This is how it's going to be, I'm not expecting Kampf, Engvall, Simmonds to start popping off.

 

[Holls Blackmail]

Muck Farchand.

Lilly did.

Someone should've removed some teeth for his hook at the end there.

 

[Havoc]

In a game full of superstars Tavares was the best among them all. We won't lose much with a healthy Tavares in mid season form.

 

[Jojalu]

Wins against both Tampa and Boston, five wins a row!! Oh and for all the talk about how weak Vegas is they’ve been a winning a ton of games.

Both Tampa and Vegas have won 5/6.

 

[capfit9]

Marner & Tavares were fantastic. team played better than i thought they would although the 3rd got a little hairy.

 

[Acesup]

I've never wanted to see a player curb stomped with skate blades as bad as Marchand. Hate his stupid face.

 

[BigGulpsEh]

Very impressive win. Kept their foot on the gas. Bent a lil in the 3rd but never broke

 

[leaffaninvancouver]

Both Tampa and Vegas have won 5/6.

And now so have we!

 

[Alamo Leafer]

Way to go our big boys

Soupy truly "is my life" lol

This has got to be the best game Muzzin has played so far this season. Wonder if keeping Hall away from him is indeed the trick. Maybe even away from the entire team lol.

& finally
the icing on the cake was the showing of Hoffman's last miracle on ice bwahahaha

 

[Acesup]

Marner single handedly makes Tavares an elite player

 

[rdogg]

It was great how they went to the Montreal game after so we got to see them lose!

Good night all around
