Fun night . . . my takeaway was, the physical - yes, PHYSICAL!!! - pushback by the Leafs on a very physical Caps team, started even before the Wilson tilt. Really nice effort, and we showed we can just push back hard PHYSICALLY as well as burn them on talent as well.

This to me is a statement game, as much as it may be lost in the records at the end of the season without Marner, Matthews leading the charge . . . this was a, "put on your big boy pants" game by the Leafs, and they stepped up to the challenge and knocked out the Caps with a flurry of punches.

I have hope for the playoffs.
+ Soupy was very solid.
 
Team win up and down the lineup. Each line has an identity.

They play.the best teams as if they have arrived. We will see in a couple of weeks if this is real or a mirage. It feels different. Let's hope it IS different.

We can beat anyone with this team. To be honest Florida is the only one that scares me a little. I just don’t believe we’ll have much trouble beating any other team.

Good team? I was thinking about how the Capitals are a steamy pile of garbage now...

Anyways, amazing win, the team was visibly more physical tonight!

Even Clifford was good.
 
Only thing this game was missing was a bit more of a response after Wilson hit Campbell in the moment...otherwise great game.

Not to be the negative Nancy, but the power play has gone ice cold, and it starts with Tavares consistently losing the face off. Dominant 5 on 5 obviously but they need to get the PP back on track before the playoffs.
