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

[Cleetus]

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

think Cherry called him Pocahontas lmao!

 

[BertCorbeau]

Bert provides such a different net front presence on the PP.. teams don’t respect him like Tavares so they cheat and get burned

 

[BertCorbeau]

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

In regulation!

 

[frizzer1]

Bertuzzi is finishing off the chances that Tavares had all year.
Tavares can’t react quickly enough anymore.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Tonight had playoff vibes

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

Cherry kept calling him Alexei Pokahonsky. Even Pocahontas once or twice lol

Until he scored a hat trick on his birthday that is

 

[budzz]

Wow Bert, didn't just get the hat trick, he hit the post early, threw his body in front of multiple shots including a shift with no stick.

I can see now why Keefe praises him. I only get to watch on and off but that was an impressive game. THAT'S the extra sumthin' we need in the playoffs.

Impressive win boys.

** Also please leave JT alone for the ending. Captain deserves better for a brain fart, and they are rare.

Bruins lose in OT.

Great night for the Leafs.

 

[Confucius]

Couldn’t have picked a better time for a hatrick, I thought we’d blow them out but a win anyway, great game

 

[LeafChief]

Boston just lost in OT again. 13 Overtime losses for Boston.

At the beginning of the season I was told that this was the tell of a bad team.

 

[Leaf Rocket]

Remember...Ritchie is better than Nylander. A good ol' canadian boy is always gonna be better than him

[Enga Olly]

Well I've criticized Bertuzzi all along so I will sing his praises when he's great, and he was great tonight. Blocking shots like a hero and of course the hatty. Hoping he continues this, will make a world of difference to see him and Domi pitching in

 

[leafsfan5]

Boston loses!

7 points back with 2 games in hand, we also play them 2 more times

We are coming

Bertuzzi is the Norman Reedus of hockey.

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.

Guys have certainly stepped up and filled a lot of holes in the process. We looked to be a few pieces away from being a serious team and that number is a lot more manageable with guys playing well and as a team.

 

[The Masters]

I dont no why it took Keefe so long to demote Tavares to 3rd line and off PP1

team looks totally different. Interesting how one player movement can change dynamic of team

 

[BTP]

Thank you Ridley Gregg!!

 

[Stephen]

Win a cup with the Leafs and he can get a blue leaf on the other side.

 

[Mr_Fun]

Tavares: "I thought there was still 12 minutes left in the game so I wanted to keep possession and the goalie had the angle covered there pretty much anyways".

At the beginning of the season I was told that this was the tell of a bad team.

It's a treat to go back and read some of those early season threads. Personally, I'm still wondering if this team is serious.

 

[cyris]

Remember...Ritchie is better than Nylander. A good ol' canadian boy is always gonna be better than him

I’m pretty sure he wanted the Leafs to trade Marner for Gudbranson at one point too.
