[MattySnipes]

It's a Blue and White starry night in northern Alberta tonight.

 

[leafsfan5]

Paces over an 82 game season

Auston Matthews: 61 goals, 100 points
John Tavares: 37 goals, 90 points
William Nylander: 36 goals, 85 points

Oil change

Matthews had the 2 goals, but that was maybe the strongest I've seen him on the puck before, dude also hustled like CRAZY in the D Zone, what a game for him

Yeah Matthews is incredible. A real weapon!

 

[diehardleafsfan9878]

Like I said in the other thread. I think if he had even a semblance of a team he wouldn't play the style he does in Edmonton. He has to sell all out for offense or his team would never score. Not to mention he plays like half the game every game.

That's fine and all, but how many times a game is Matthews, Marner, or Nylander in the same position as McDavid was in on Rielly's goal. When Nylander was picking the puck up at the Leafs blueline, McDavid is right beside him. The fastest player in the game isn't able to pick up that puck? He's not able to disrupt Nylander really at all in that instance? It's laziness and a lack of commitment that I don't think you can break just because you get better teammates.

That was an improved performance. We can still be a lot better but impressive game. I thought Muzzin-Lilly pair was a bit up and down but thats way better then what Holl was giving us in that spot.
Matthews when he's playing like this is the second best player in the game, and at times the best.
Nylander is a beauty.

 

[Teeder Keon]

Isn't that pretty much every night this season?

I guess we'll see how far gone he is in a few years when he's with the Leafs

 

[AcerComputer]

can't wait for Sandin to come back and knock Holl out of the lineup

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Lost in everything was the return of Mikheyev. Played 15 min of solid hockey.

Good to have him back.

 

[Confucius]

outscoring the oilers 18 to 2 in the last 4 meetings and holding McDri to ZERO points. lol!

 

[Mikeyg]

Here come the oilers!!!!!!!


Remember the oil change series lmao.

pathetic joke franchise

 

[justloveleafs]

Dubas, is going to bring a cup... I don't know when, truly don't but its going to come, he knows talent and now it appears he knows heart as well..

anyone notice how competent, clifford has been...

Holy cow, we now have a great passing team, with a great goalie, that can take your eye out, with a stick..

Make it look like an accident of course. part of being great...

dubas bringing in Bunting, Kampf, kASE, man, dubas just shut leaf nation trolls right up...

Brilliant stuff kyle, and for all the crazies out there, i really believe, he is doing his darndest to get holl back to the solid, solid level of play, he displayed last year.

Do you think Matthews appreciates his bro being treated this well

Dubas has really gone to another level....

Scotty Bowman says hi, Sam Pollock says hi...

Its already paying off, the Leafs, right now, right now, are playing the coolest, most exciting hockey, the NHL has seen in decades...

Its pretty darn cool... To watch... AND.....keep watching, its going to keep better, dubas knows talent...

 

[TMLeafer]

Rielly is 3 points away from Fox for the d-men points lead. He's been on fire.

 

[Mr_Fun]

If Draisaitl had scored on that open net, perhaps it could have taken the crowd out of the game. From then on, it was mostly clear sailing. Reilly is just amazing this season, both ends of the ice.

 

[SprDaVE]

Brodie and Rielly were great to me. Muzzin struggled early but got better. Holl was awful.

I liked Seney. He did better than I thought.

Mikheyev looked rusty as hell and didn't do much.

Kase is really good and I hope he stays for awhile.

 

[ottomaddox]

Oil oil oil!

 

[leaffaninvancouver]

That was fun. Hopefully we can play Saturday.

McDavid disrupts him multiple times, but Ceci misplays it pretty badly. With the back pressure he needs to step up and he contains the whole way with a big gap.

Rielly is 3 points away from Fox for the d-men points lead. He's been on fire.

Not surprisingly, Rielly is a proven 70 + point D man in the NHL.

I have to say Darnell Nurse is terrible. How the heck did he get almost $10M a season. Bad!

Delete. Broken link

 

[stickty111]

I would be more worried by Keefe's constant negative comments if it weren't for the fact he is complementry too when they deserve it.

 

[Rude Dog]

Thought Brodie was great again. Very satisfying win. Lots of teeth being ground down in Edmonton tonight and I love it.

 

[Morbo]

And we were missing a 90 point forward....
