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

[Dave92]

Great win, they were cheating towards Matthews so heavily on the PK that they left the net front wide open.

Obviously Tavares was worried about Rielly's reaction.

Did none of you see the replay of the puck hopping on JT?

Puck was bouncing all night. I know he was trying to be safe by skating in, but once you have a clear vision of the net, gotta shoot

Pawn her ring

Bahahaha! She musta left it in the woman’s changeroom or something. You can make it up to me, dear wife, by taking me to a Leafs game

 

[PromisedLand]

Big Bert has arrived.

 

[MSZ]

Nice win and obviously the perfect road trip overall. First 7 game winning streak in 20 years too.

For some strange reasons they are such a Jagannath against western teams, and won only 10 games against the eastern teams. We will see how this team do against the top dogs in the east from now on.

Crosscheck to the head time
We will never lose again

Happy Bert-day!

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Both PP goals Bert was left wide open because they vacated the front of the net to put two guys on Auston lol

I got a good f***ing laugh out of this

Tavares having a Ponikorvoski moment.

holy shit that takes me back

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Statement game by Matthews, picking up a secondary assist on the PP

 

[Fogelhund]

Very good game, against a very good team. No matter the result, it was a good game. But we won, which is great.

Man, you butchered that. I read that in Don Cherry's voice.

we're just getting better as the season goes on

The Ridley Gregg incident/Morgan rielly suspension might be the turning point of the season. The leafs regrouped as a team and decided to play with purpose, grit and cohesion since that day. On offense, both the Top players and the supporting cast are productive. The defense and goaltending have been rock solid. Imagine when we get Woll back.

Still need a steady, physical right handed top 4 big minute D with decent puck moving/handling skills. Unfortunately they are seldom available in this league.

And another offensive minded Centerman just in case of injuries.

Finally understanding what it takes to compete with the big boys

1 game, no goal = Matthews is in a scoring drought.

 

[Dekes For Days]

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.

We actually haven't seen Bertuzzi have a lot of PP success in the past. Mostly just the 7 games last playoffs.

Man, you butchered that. I read that in Don Cherry's voice.

Good choice.

 

[LeafChief]

Oh they beat Vegas and Colorado? Talk to me when they beat a good team.
