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

[LeafsNation149]

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

 

[3blizzard4]

Matthews put this team on his back. FINALLY!!

Two great goals to start the comeback.

 

[Confucius]

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

Put William back on the 1st PP and let him gain the zone when needed

 

[Alerion]

Incredible. I can't believe they pulled those two games out of their ass. It's like 6 years of regression to the mean all at once. I still can't get to sleep riding off that high!!!

 

[robertmac43]

One more and it's going to be the hardest one yet.

 

[Teeder Keon]

The biggest difference from this team now , we have finally learned to just shoot the puck on net and get some greasy goals instead of always relying on our talent
I’m wondering if that’s coming from ROR ??
I’m pretty sure ..
Now we have added a different element in scoring


My biggest take on our PP

We really need to put Willy on his off wing and AM on the other side and steal the playbook from Dolts and other great Pp s
GLG

 

[Gabriel426]

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.

Are you talking about MM.
I think he started playing well after being off AM wing. Cirelli’s line really limited space for the other team.

Not going complain with a 3-1 series lead. As long as they win, that’s all it matters.

How huge is that amazing Matthew Knies goal line save after going down 4-1 and winning in overtime?

 

[leafsfan5]

Also, big shoutout to Steven Stamkos who celebrated like he won the cup when the puck deflected off his leg for the 3-1 goal

f***ing plug

 

[3blizzard4]

Is there a fan base that "wah wah's" more after a Leafs win than the Oilers fans base?

What a bunch of insecure f#ckheads.

 

[Stephen]

Lafferty

Lafferty hasn't really showed up too much, so I'd put Bunting back in. Chum the waters and let Tampa go crazy on him while we try to close them out.

 

[Not My Tempo]

Rielly - Schenn was a pairing I was expecting to be a terrible tire fire and I’m glad I’m wrong.

What could have been if our dumb management didn’t rush Schenn in at 18 and actually let him develop properly.

 

[OVO16]

Lafferty?

Nah Lafferty is too valuable to take out imo. His speed and constant physical presence have been a welcome sight. My choice would be Kampf

Jarnkrok - Mathews - Marner
Bunting - Tavares - Nylander
Knies - Orielly - Acciari
ZAR - Kerfoot - Lafferty

 

[Drytoast]

 

[Blanche Blanche]

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.

BUNTING Must be a healthy scratch all playoffs long

 

[3blizzard4]

Also, big shoutout to Steven Stamkos who celebrated like he won the cup when the puck deflected off his leg for the 3-1 goal

f***ing plug

Ironically Kerfoot went directly to the fan wearing the Stammer jersey after the OT goal!

Luke Schenn might be the 2nd best defenseman in this series lmao. Who knew Brodie and Giordano was gonna be our worst defenders so far

 

[Teeder Keon]

 

[nuttica]

Please don’t bring Bunting back in

 

[Stephen]

After all these years, Luke Schenn is perfect, and ours.

Is there a fan base that "wah wah's" more after a Leafs win than the Oilers fans base?

What a bunch of insecure f#ckheads.

I basically would have no feelings towards their team (like Calgary) if their fans would just stop being so obsessed with the Leafs for no reason lmao. Instead I hate them in a similar way to Montreal and Boston.

 

[kb]

Saw on CP24 there were two loser Sabres fans in Maple Leafs Square taking in the game just standing there silently while everyone else cheered. Who the heck goes out of their way to watch a game outdoors when their team isn’t even participating?

Highlighted. lol

 

[SprDaVE]

One more and it's going to be the hardest one yet.

Gonna be a long 2 days break

 

[djdev]

Timely saves and battles!

and one epicly horrible game lol

 

[CabanaBoy5]

Notice that Knies was on the ice for the OT winner again. This guy may be turning our fortunes around and breaking curses.
