Post-Game Talk: Kadri nets GWG #2 against Edmonton. Leafs sweep Oilers, win 4-2.

So What happens with Nylander? 2 more road games so he stays as 4th line C?

Kadri was great again. The best thing about him is that he has basically taken all of the pressure off of Matthews/Marner/Nylander.

The narrative is Kadri vs McDavid and going into Saturday, Kadri will be the focus again vs Vancouver.

The contract looks like a steal if he can be this consistent for the bulk of it.

Andersen was great again.

I loved Brown coming into this season and I find I'm loving him more and more as the season progresses. Just put him on the PP already.

Time to get some popcorn and check out some Oilers related discussion

Milan Loo-suck, Jordan Eber-lazy and Ryan Nothing-Happening, as they call them, were the focus of some wrath.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Andersen more than a .930 save percentage in the past 6 games.

Good home win. Now they have to work on that road record.

They'll have to wait a bit, the next two games are home games too

Hyman had a great game today, good for him, if he's going to continue to play with Matthews this is the kind of stuff I want to see on a consistent basis.

 

[Shanty]

He won't get it because the refs ****ing hate him and have it out for him for no reason.

I don't believe Kadri will ever be Captain, but for a different reason. In today's NHL you want a Captain who keeps a level-head, and keeps the team playing hard.

Kadri as Captain would definitely push the team to play hard, but we may end up with too much "hard".

I still love how Kadri's playing right now though, he's really found his niche.

Just my thoughts on it.

 

[zeke]

not a great game, but good enough.

great game by freddy tho.

 

[Crispy Crust]

Yeah Hyman was a bull dog. I love his compete and energy he brings to the table.

 

[Menzinger]

Great game by all tonight.

 

[MJ65]

Great road game by the Leafs - hat off to the kds

Would love to see Kasperi

 

[TIGERCOOL]

Hyman worked his ass off this game and was a difference maker. He's still a 4th liner. Babcock did not need this extra motivation to keep him on that line.

 

[BayStreetBully]

Great game! Total team effort.

Better luck next year, McDavid.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Milan Loo-suck, Jordan Eber-lazy and Ryan Nothing-Happening, as they call them, were the focus of some wrath.

And they have officially turned on their coach.

 

[ViewsFromThe6ix]

Hyman was excellent, so were Kadri, Andersen and Brown. Standout performers tonight.

 

[dubey]

Oilers are a bad team yikes!

McDavid and a bunch of bums

 

[LeafsNation149]

Couldn't possibly agree any less with this statement.

I'm not saying Matthews was **** this game. I'm just saying I liked the play of the other 6 rookies more. Not sure what's wrong here...

 

[Menzinger]

So What happens with Nylander? 2 more road games so he stays as 4th line C?

I think Babcock is looking to have him down the middle longer term. So a game or two more of sheltered usage down the middle, then he moves up the lineup rapidly

I think Brown might miss time with that block, so Willie will move up and take his place.

 

[leaffaninvancouver]

Kadri has been playing great but he doesn't even have an A and he's been suspended for off ice issues before I don't think it has anything to do with the refs.

 

[Pyromaniac3]

Kadri with 2nd GWG against Oilers. Fitting that McDavid could only score with Kadri off-ice.#Kadri4Selke

Definitely allowed lots of chances but might just be score effects in play. Hyman had an amazing game. Brown and Soshnikov were good as well. Matthews got dominated by RNH but he had a goal which is all that matters. Nylander's usage easily negated the story that he was in Babcock's doghouse.

On a side note: reffing was absolutely horrible tonight.

 

[Canada4Gold]

I have a bad feeling about Brown possibly being hurt, that could bump Nylander back to that wing spot. But with Holland not on the trip, and Leivo not on the roster until Holland gets moved if Brown can't go we'll have to move Holland or run 11 forwards

great game by freddy tho.
