Post-Game Talk: Birthday Boy Bertuzzi Bashes the Avalance!

[Dekes For Days]

Did Tavares just go brain dead there at the end?

No. He tried to skate it closer to be safe, and then the puck hit a rut and bounced weirdly over his stick ad he was going to shoot.
Was easy to see on the replay.

 

[Commander Clueless]

What a great game.

Yeah it was terrifying but man, fun to watch.

 

[Warden of the North]

Ice looked like it was very poor tonight

 

[AcerComputer]

If Tavares just shoots and misses the net, the game is over.

 

[AllHeartNoSkill]

I assume the puck will be suspended?

I’m sure Gary’s trying to find a way to get it in the Hall.

An elite reminder that you wanted to trade Bertuzzi for a 2nd round pick.

 

[Leafs98]

Great Game. But its time now to put JT on the boards full time. 11 mill or not. That will be an effective role for him in the playoffs.

 

[1specter]

No offense to JT but Bert is now in his spot on PP1.

To be honest, it's idiotic that Bertuzzi wasn't tried there until this far into the season. We've seen him have lots of success there in the past, and he was excellent for the Bruins on their top unit. About time.

Tavares had several clear seconds at the empty net and looked to make a power move on an empty net for no reason. What a clown

Great win though. Feels great for Bert

I get that he was eating up clock time but get the shot off or in deep and don't get stripped making a dumb cut back play.

 

[CelticDruid]

Tavares having a Ponikorvoski moment.

 

[thewave]

If Tavees just shoots and misses the net, the game is over.

Thats a... I never want to see that again from the coach. In word or by look

 

[DragoGrizzly]

Man talk about an adrenaline racing game. Colorado plays with such amazing speed. Loved that win. Sammy great. Bertuzzi’s best game as a Leaf. But it’s been so great to see Marner flying again.

 

[Eternal Leaf]

Tavares tried to deke an empty net and the net beat him.

He knew Rielly was watching. Got nervous.

 

[BertCorbeau]

I get that he was eating up clock time but get the shot off or in deep and don't get stripped making a dumb cut back play.

The puck took a weird bounce it why he lost it. I get why he was doing it but he has a chance to shovel it towards the net. In those late seconds just getting it deep seals it

 

[Aashir Mallik]

if mackinnon scored that shot I might've actually quit watching hockey

 

[Jojalu]

Does Tavares hate Nylander?

How do you not shoot?

 

[MarMarSab3]

Great game, boys played well, Tavares doing Tavares things unfortunately

Yes hindsight is 20/20 now of course good sir. He was terrible for most of the year until this break out game

 

[BertCorbeau]

Marner’s getting his magic back.

Nylander looked sloppy tonight but was key on the go ahead and winning goals.

How Keefe

 

[PromisedLand]

Never in doubt. I was calm as cucumber.
You guys know me. Not the type to panic

I almost asked you to go up and heat some pasta

ALMOST

Just to pile on a bit more, JT isn't a good connective player on the PP because he takes an extra beat every time he touches the puck which throws off any rhythm. He's also a poor vision player who doesn't make a good facilitating pass to keep things going. So he's basically just a garbage man out there.

 

[AllHeartNoSkill]

No. He tried to skate it closer to be safe, and then the puck hit a rut and bounced weirdly over his stick ad he was going to shoot.

Yeah the puck just jumped on him. But I thought he had a pretty clear shot on net before that. Struck me odd he didn’t shoot it sooner.

 

[Stephen]

Yep, keep that puck moving north.

I don't think you're the person to be calling out other people's bad trade takes
