Post-Game Talk: Big win in the Big Apple.

[crump]

Solid game against a top team. Back end of a b2b half the team probably sick and they played great when they had to. Some lull in the 2nd but what a third. That hit by McCabe was a masterclass in a solid legal check.

Matthews solved the Shishgerkin with a 4 point- 2 goal night.
Marner with 2 and dancing all night.
I thought Jarnkrok had a great game.

Gutsy win.

 

[Smif]

Willy was quiet tn, I wonder if he was one of the guys not feeling the best. Still, puts two more assists on the board.

 

[Dekes For Days]

Another good game! Nice to see them become more common lately.
Really took over in the 3rd.

 

[Sittler 27]

Good 1rst, worried after 2, took it home nicely. Good mini trip.

 

[BertCorbeau]

In what's considered a "down" season, Marner's pacing 35 goals and 88 points .. After an 8 game stretch where he only had 3 assists, he's gotten 6 goals and 8 points in his last 6 games.

Hopefully he can get rolling more consistently.

 

[Clark4Ever]

Statement win.

Jones isn't a downgrade on Sam.

I'm very thankful that he cleared waivers.

 

[BallardEra]

Rags are a good team guys, had a coach once tell me anybody can beat a shit team

They'll be exposed as frauds when it matters.

 

[34]

Solid, solid win.

Exactly the type of game I wanted to see tonight. Team is getting better. Feels good boys.

solid effort. Nice to see Matthews dominate.

 

[notdoneyet]

When we get .850 goaltending we have to fight for a tie.
When we get .900 plus goaltending we win those games in regulation

 

[The Hanging Jowl]

These mofos are doing it to me again (making a believer out of me). Damn that was a good game.

He had a rough period where he trailed off but he's back for sure. Same for Matthews really. Both are heating up at a pretty good time.

We need that kind of performance in 3-4 months though. Hopefully they keep it up.

 

[ER89]

again i leave impressed by laggesson.

Dude just plays so f***ing well :/

He's gotta be OUR guy for the bottom pairing.

Mccabe and Brodie are cooked.

But the big boys dynamite.

Also shoutout to kampf and jarnkrok and bert - f***ing engines the lot.

 

[Evilhomer]

Man I just took a look at our schedule the rest of the month....we are in point season right now. Playing a bunch of trash cans.

What I have been saying for weeks. The schedule is Charmin soft until February. It's why I keep saying that the Leafs will pass Boston in the next few weeks.

 

[MilkofthePoppy]

This team seems to thrive when the odds are stacked against them. Say what you want about Tre, but he picked up some good depth this last off season.

Was Knies injured?

 

[BertCorbeau]

What's nice is that despite the meh play on the ice, they've gotten some wins and points on a nice run going 6-1-3 and have started to separate themselves from the bottom half of the division (sitting in 3rd now) plus they have some games in hand as well for once.

Definitely some questions and skepticism around the team but as long as they play their best hockey when the games really matter, that's all I care about.

 

[Rare Jewel]

I thought Jarnkrok had a great game.

He's underrated and versatile.

He was 5th forward vs. NYI on the 6on5.

 

[LeafalCrusader]

What I have been saying for weeks. The schedule is Charmin soft until February. It's why I keep saying that the Leafs will pass Boston in the next few weeks.

It's the games against the crap teams that scare me. Boys tend to lay an egg in them.

 

[Darcy Tucker]

I'm loving how chippy our D has been lately. Need more of that.

 

[3blizzard4]

Gotta love the Leafs chants in the Garden!

Also, some Rags fans are pretty salty. Hate to see it.

 

[Anthrax442]

Shesterkin was so bad, even Marner scored on him

 

[Confucius]

Not a bad effort putting up 7, for the 2nd game iof a back to back

 

[GoonieFace]

Do we finally have a team here boys...Are we getting better it seems?
Tired legs and beat the best Metro team...

Injured players and all and we seem to have decent luck with the goalies

Jones was decent despite one softie.
Awesome hit by Mccabe!!
Core 4 good.
Bottom 6 gritty.

So far, TRE ir righting the ship with less than Dubas did in his whole career

Nope, not falling for it again, I will wait till the postseason before I get excited

 

[Mr_Fun]

I thought we were pretty good last night for the most part, just didn't get real quality in the pipes.

Tonight was another good effort. I know the 2nd was dicey, but the Rangers are a good team so it's unreasonable not to expect them to at least have some domination for parts of the game at home.

 

[Legion34]

Rielly is a no 1 D. Defensemen take longer
Brodie should be a top pair but I don’t know if it’s mental (father/wife) or he lost a step

Ideally

Rielly Brodie
Xxxx xxx
McCabe Lilly
Gio

Probably too much to ask and we get 1 top 4 D

Is this Matthews best start ever? Hard to believe

 

[Mad hatter]

Samsonov's capspace is better used elsewhere

again i leave impressed by laggesson.

Dude just plays so f***ing well :/

He's gotta be OUR guy for the bottom pairing.

Mccabe and Brodie are cooked.

But the big boys dynamite.

Also shoutout to kampf and jarnkrok and bert - f***ing engines the lot.

Agree with this except McCabe. I think he’s been great ever since he came back from injury.

Samsonov is going to be needed and I sure hoping that he finds his game. Jones was good tonight but imho that is probably not going to continue
