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

[Peasy]

I harped on samsonov during the first but he really dialed in after that and we don't win that game without him. Hope the team as a whole has a much better showing next game and they get the chance to close it out at home.

 

[francis246]

Probably already said but Holl had a really good game.

He gets roasted a lot and sometimes deservidely but he was crucial today

I wanted him to score that post in OT so bad.

 

[Stephen]

And a small shout out to the refs for keeping their noses out of the game as much as they could. Sure lots of stuff could've been called but I'm glad they let them play overall.

Tampa was bopping heads all over the ice in OT which I didn't like. It was open season on the Leafs and they didn't dish it out as much as they took. So I didn't like that.

 

[Gallagbi]

Wasn’t sure at the time but did Matthews keep his gloves on in his “fight”?

Pretty much

 

[ECanuck]

Post them please.

Yes please! I love the Bowen calls.

It's still funny how many blatant holds, trips and crosschecks Tampa got away with though and you could tell our players knew they're not getting away with the same stuff

Let’s face it, we didn’t deserve to win this game but all teams steal games in the playoffs. That might be one of the things that’s different this playoffs.

Love how this team stands up for each other led by Schenn. I think Holl actually had a decent game. Matthews should never fight again.

However, too many passengers. Tavares -3 on the night. Lack of compete by Nylander. Not great games by Marner and Matthews. I just don’t see them taking over games like they should.

Koala's breasts are inhaling his shirt

 

[GardinerTheForward]

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

also the years we had jvr bozak and marner on line 3 we won a game in ot against wash. early
in 2OT woth man advantage

 

[MSZ]

Kappy won one against Washington

Kadri also scored in OT in game 3.

 

[frizzer1]

Captain Tavares was on the ice for all 3 goals against and was the main reason for all those goals too. He should reflect on this game.

Don’t worry, he’s learning.

 

[al secord]

I haven’t seen him here for a while now. Weird.

He's been banned a couple of times for being too hard and having all the money

 

[weems]

It's crazy how much confidence Knies has played with in his first two playoff games.

He was pulling some high risk dangles in dangerous areas but more often than not made things happen.

This kid is going to be a big part of our future.

 

[Guided by Veseys]

He needs someone to show him how to fight.
He should have filled Stamkos in.

Good on Stamkos for doing what he did there but Matthews should have made him regret it.

Yup. He’s an incredible player and has elite vision but he should probably be a bit more ready for that. With his height and strength he could have quickly taken advantage and not flailed like that; it’s a bit dangerous if he is just swinging wildly.

 

[HellasLEAF]

In a series, there are always a game or two like this usually go to OT. You have to win those games to advance. Leafs usually lose them. Not this time. Held firm and gutted out a huge win.

 

[AvroArrow]

Pretty much

Stamkos is a p***y boy, throwing punches at a guy before you let him drop the gloves. That's coward shit.

 

[Ports]

Who said Tampa had the goaltending advantage? Sammy >= Vasy.

 

[LeafSteel]

And a small shout out to the refs for keeping their noses out of the game as much as they could. Sure lots of stuff could've been called but I'm glad they let them play overall.

I wonder if Bettman watching the game had anything to do with the improved reffing tonight?

 

[ACC1224]

I just heard on the radio, that Matthews' sweater wasn't tied down. If Stamprick pulled Matthews sweater over his head, Matthews would have received a game misconduct.

Pretty dumb if true. Doesn’t take much effort to tie your shirt down. He did look like a guy who has no idea how to fight though.

 

[ECanuck]

Pretty much

Matty see his punching hand? Hold that one! Then work your way around. This way you won't get hit with a big one. And that guy will never have the same confidence to push you like that!
Usually the jab is the weak hand setting up for the strong one.

 

[3blizzard4]

Need me some Joe Bowen calls right about now. If someone has them please link.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Keefe subtly calling out the refs over the Rielly hit/scrum.

 

[MSZ]

Where are the Bowen calls. I need them.

 

[AvroArrow]

Probably already said but Holl had a really good game.

Laugh all you want, Holl is a f***ing warrior. He hits, he battles hard, he blocks shot, he plays to his best ability. He's not a top 4D but he gives it his f***ing all when he's on the ice and I respect it. He also can't fight for shit but he still doesn't get scared and back down, he answers the bell even knowing that he's a bad fighter.

My respect for Holl has gone through the roof since around the TDL, especially during the playoffs. As it should have for all Leaf fans.

 

[Confucius]

Floater beats the best goalie on the planet. My goodness.

I'm not gonna pretend like I'm posting on page 8 or whatever because I wasn't calming down the wife and a couple kids who thought some dumb motherf***er was breaking in, cause that's what I was doing but just wanted to mention how good that win felt.

I know that goalie has turned it up in the later games of past series but man, that was an AWFUL goal..

It’s been a while since he has been the best goalie on the planet
