Post-Game Talk: CAPTAIN MORGAN!!! | LEAFS WIN 4-3 IN OVERTIME

[TheRumble]

Nylander was our best player in this game. Hope people here remember that.

We don't tie the game without him.

 

[Metroid]

Ya never know so I went with the polite somewhat sympathetic response.
lol

All good! Go leafs go!!

 

[Commander Clueless]

Let's not forget Keefe's brilliant plan in this OT. Make the other team really tired by letting them pepper us with shots while we're mostly standing around and blocking/stopping them...Eventually we get going a bit and they ice the puck...Rielly shoots it upstairs from the point and we win...

The galaxy brain finally paid off!

 

[torontoblood]

Brodie and Giordano were struggling tonight. I Hope they get better next game.

 

[Antropovsky]

McCabe and Schenn are wrecking machines.

 

[7even]

How many times the Leafs have "deserved" to win and didn't. It's nice to be on the other side for once.

Reminded me of OT vs Montreal a couple years ago. Glad it ended the same way.

 

[Confucius]

Somehow we stole this one and it wasn’t because of stellar net minding but we won bottom line. Lol!

 

[CelticDruid]

I dunno what the pairings would even look like, but Gio out Lilj in?

We need some mobility on the back end and playing Gio with Holl is crazy.

Hill had a good game but his bloopers are usually highlighted reel gems. Lily has to play he couldn't do any worse than Gio or Brodie.

 

[MattySnipes]

I LOVE YOU RYAN O'REILLY
I LOVE YOU MO

I LOVE THE LEAFS.

I LOVE YOU ALL

 

[egd27]

If he never plays a game for the Leafs again I'd be perfectly OK with that

who would you even take out for him.....sure wouldn't be the college kid

 

[ACC1224]

Nylander was our best player in this game. Hope people here remember that.

We don't tie the game without him.

Thought he was awful. Worst game he’s played in a while.

 

[Larcos_Unal]

Post-game interviews asking Mattews 'what is it about ROR that allows him to raise his game in the playoffs' seems like trolling lol

 

[PromisedLand]

 

[GardinerTheForward]

I forgive Morgan Rielly for home wrecking Tessa and Scott…Wreck them homes Captain!!

(For real comment: We had no business winning. Take it and GLG! for game 4. No complacency with the split. Must capitalize)

 

[SoVi3t]

Awful game played by the Leafs. They grinded it out and kept at it but they couldn't pass, they couldn't forecheck, they couldn't break out and they couldn't keep any pressure offensively.

Way too many passengers in that game. They need to adjust something next game because they can't play like that and expect to win.

Knies had a very good game. ROR was a beauty as well.

Samsonov had a rocky 1st period but he was a rock star the rest of the way. He stood on his head.

100%

This game was a gift, we got lucky, multiple times. Most of the 3rd and OT was them dominating us.

 

[theTTC]

Why don't some of you guys stop criticizing/attacking fellow Leaf fans here in postgame - geez, that's small and nasty.

Simply enjoy the awesome moment!!!

 

[Guided by Veseys]

Knies is a special player, hockey to the bone. Full on competitor. He’s already on the first line with Matthew and Marner in clutch time. What a steal of a pick.

 

[Hoglund4MvP]

Marner is such a little boy. Let the men lead the team. O'Reilly at 31 is still more useful than Marner in his prime for playoff hockey. Nylander had a bad game but he's still moving his legs getting open near the net for Knies.

Has done nothing besides shoot the puck from far away, away from traffic for a few goals and racked up assists in a blow out loss.

Show some heart and get in the game!

 

[Antropovsky]

Hate to be Debbie downer I need more from mathews.
OReilly on the other hand wow he brings it
OReilly teach Mathews, Marner and Nylander that fire you have in your belly

It's easy to see why, Oreilly isn't in the middle of all the action because the puck is metal and he has a magnet stuck to his ass... He goes to all the dirty areas. Leafs top players still are trying to win with skill only, dancing around the dirty areas.

[TorMapleJays]

I noticed they arrived via bus today. That tells me they are not staying in the downtown core this year. They did last year. More business this year. Sheldon!!!! Don’t you say it!!!!! 2-0

 

[34]

YES! What a game! In all fairness, the leafs did not deserve to win it, but we’ll take it and we won’t look back.

 

[HamiltonNHL]

Nylander was our best player in this game.

He was the cause of goals 1 and 3.

 

[Primary Assist]

Is this this cores first playoff overtime win? I feel like they always lose in OT

Kap scored that big OT winner off a nifty Boyle pass in 2017, the core was together for that. And I believe Matty won it in OT against the Jackets

 

[The Podium]

Thought he was awful. Worst game he’s played in a while.

Went back to the fly-bys and bailing on plays for this one
