Post-Game Talk: Division Champs boys

[unitedstars87]

It’s not debatable. It is the Leafs.

Stick to breakfast TV Sid.

In our last 23 games we've lost in regulation only 3 times

16-3-4

Poor start in the 1st, we were pretty passive
Came back strong and got the lead in the 2nd
Defended the lead professionally in the 3rd

Great to win a division title, we've certainly deserved it

All that's left now is to rest up and get ready to give a massive effort in the playoffs and go on a run

I wonder if we could finish top 3-4 overall.

#4 right now in point %; Colorado is within striking range at #3

Haven't we been saying this for the last 2 months?

Yes, it blows my mind how this much offensive talent can give such a momentum boost for the opposition so often.

In the playoffs I think in general it will be important to get an early lead on Montreal so they can't just go into clog mode. But it was nice to see we can earn a come-from-behind win if needed.

He was chasing around Muzzin after the game too.

Battled through wobbly pucks in the first period and a half but got steadier as the game went on. Offense was hard to generate for both teams tonight for the most part.

In fairness the playoffs will decide this declaration.

The Habs do play a bit dirtier than I would have thought. Refs and Leafs better prepare.

Every cross check hit must be repaid in full.

Posting in generational thread. #1 in Canada...way to go boys division champs

Why did MTL get called for icing while we were on the PP in the end?

It was offside, so it came all the way back where pass was made. And cbc commentators are clueless.

Coming back to beat the Habs on a Saturday night to clinch the division.

With Hyman Foligno and Nash set to take the team to another level ... man you have to go back to the Burns days to feel this good about this team.

Warm weather BBQing and Leafs Habs in the playoffs boys! It's gonna happen!

 

[Pinto]

Never in doubt.

 

[Dekes For Days]

Division Champs. I think that's really all that needs to be said.

 

[Guided by Veseys]

Hutton is a pretty nice defender. Crushing Anderson was beautiful.

Yeah. It’s nice to know there’s someone who will throw him around when he starts running around.

 

[bodechek]

To clinch the division against the Habs is nice. Even more sweeter to not give them a point

Very satisfying. Hopefully someone remembers Petry's crosscheck of Kerfoot's face and the dirty knee on Mikheyev and makes him pay in Rd 1.

I would sign Gary Roberts to a one day contract to say hello to Petry.

We are done with habs! Bring up the Habs!!!!

 

[baton elevated]

The win is good and all but I didn't think we played well at all. The Habs were aggressive on the puck and therefore won alot of puck battles. Their zone entries were easy and so were their puck retievals. We tend to back up too much in our Dzone and give up too much space at the point allowing too much puck movement. We did not skate attacking tonight, more reactionary instead of being proactive. I know it was a nothing game somewhat but don't take things for granted. Sid and McDavid always have compete in them no matter what the circumstance, That's why they are the best.

Soupy improves to 17-2-2, Mitch pots #20, Engvall scores in his third straight, Nylander extends his point streak to 7 games.

Lots of positive stats from the win. Most importantly it feels good to finish the Montreal series on the winning end before playing them first round. The Leafs can really crush this team if they bring their A-game with a healthy lineup.
