Post-Game Talk: IT WAS 4-1 | LEAFS WIN 5-4 IN OVERTIME

[SprDaVE]

what happened?

He gave a pretty cocky answer saying he wasn't surprised it was 4-1 with how good the lightning are. I don't have the clip. Wasn't super egregious but after seeing him run his mouth all series it was pretty funny seeing him on the bench pan shot after Kerfoot's winner.

Here's what Hagel said in the 2nd INT if snyones interested

jackass. cocky much?

 

[Mr_Fun]

I'd think at this point, there is close enough to a zero chance Bunting slots in for Knies. I'm not even sure Bunting slots in for Laff next game.

 

[keonsbitterness]

Matthews was right about the Leafs starting to get back into the game (if not the scoreboard) in the 2nd period. Tampa's pressure game is an effective strategy but it's hard to keep that energy up for an entire game.

 

[howlman]

Want to have less stress this series? Grab yourself 500, bet against leafs winning series. If they lose, you win 6k, if they win, you happy regardless lmaoooo

Make it a 1000 for good measure

 

[Crazy Monkey]

Had to pause the game to put my kid to sleep and just saw the OT. f***ing wild comeback. Feels good being on this side of a 4-1 game. Wooooooo

Also, THIS is the Matthews I was hoping for in the first 3 games. Put the team on his back

 

[DraftSchmaft]

A new Knies fan has been born in me. He's exactly the type of player I've been wishing for the last 4 years to add to the core.

Glad to see our big guns came back in the end and didn't let his effort level go to waste

 

[Gabriel426]

We deserved tonight's win. We won the second and the 3rd periods and we won most of the puck battles. We did steal game 3.

The 2nd period was better than the first but we couldn’t get anything really going offensively. But it started with the last few shifts where the boys were tilting the ice and it continued into the 3rd.

When it comes to OT, it is anyone’s game. Really glad they are up 3-1 and just need to finish the job on Thursday.

 

[Not My Tempo]

All I ask is for Keefe to not start Willy and Tavares together next game.

 

[BertCorbeau]

ROR with another big face-off win on the tying goal

 

[Gabriel426]

Glad @Teeder Keon is alive, for a second, I thought your heart couldn’t take it, lol.

He is a god.

Hagel with his "this one's in the bag" speech.

 

[Wendelstache]

Keep Bunting out until game #6 if they cant close it in 5. Otherwise you dont touch a winning lineup.

Bunting is not coming back, he's a negative impact at the moment with his flopping reputation.

The refs are never going to give him the benefit of the doubt and will call anything and everything on him.

 

[DarkKnight]

Wonder when he'll show up though!

He was the least bad of the big four, but objectively awful. He was also a part of all three goals in the third. Also still no goals scored against when on the ice for the series, which is noteworthy.

 

[Gabriel426]

All I ask is for Keefe to not start Willy and Tavares together next game.

But if Keefe do that, it will catch Cooper and TB by surprise.

 

[OVO16]

So who do you take out with Bunting back?

The obvious choice obviously would be ZAR but he's played his role on the 4th line perfectly. Would Kampf come out?

 

[weems]

Brodie started the comeback with this sick no look backhand pass to Nylander

 

[Divine]

I'd think at this point, there is close enough to a zero chance Bunting slots in for Knies. I'm not even sure Bunting slots in for Laff next game.

I think you need to put Bunting in for someone, maybe ZAR.

He put up 60+ points then 49 points this year. He's our top scoring forward outside of our core 4 for 2 years in a row.

I'd put him in just to get Jarnkrok off the first line. Matthews and Marner are getting double teamed and Jarnkrok is doing nothing but missing the net with his chances.

 

[howlman]

ROR with another big face-off win on the tying goal

Man he's been unbelievable

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Here's what Hagel said in the 2nd INT if anyones interested

Pretty much every player on the Lightning is a pure, unadulterated jackass. One of the most annoying teams ever assembled, and they wouldn't be nearly as successful if they didn't happen to play in a market the league desperately wants to grow

 

[Remu]

Feels like a demon was driven out. This could be it.

 

[BertCorbeau]

So who do you take out with Bunting back?

The obvious choice obviously would be ZAR but he's played his role on the 4th line perfectly. Would Kampf come out?

Lafferty?

 

[Kelly]

God I hope Brandon Hagel is sobbing right now. What a punchable face.

Cannot believe we reversed the 4-1 onto Tampa, did it in less time than Boston did as well. This feels like the year boys n gals... Not gonna get ahead of myself tho. WE AINT FKN DONE YET. GLG.

 

[dubplatepressure]

Proud of these guys. Gutsiest comeback in the last 10 years.
