Post-Game Talk: Leafs 3 Bruins 2 // Matty gets his 70th and the game winner

[PromisedLand]

Peeke didn't come back
Because Reaves ruined him

That's why you need Reaves

He was an absolute monster

REAVO REAVO REAVO

I can’t believe how soft Boston has become.

Instead of physically punishing Toronto like in the past, they’re resorting to flopping and diving in a desperate hope to draw penalties.

Marchand gets slashed by Bert on his right leg, then does a stop/drop/roll on the ice clutching his left leg.

What an embarrassment - - it’s great to see the Bruins turning into cream puffs.

Boston is SHIT 5-on-5. They're flopping and diving because they're screwed without an overwhelming PP advantage.

 

[Shooter2x]

Skys the limit if we get to round 2.

Have to imagine the rest of the East has taken notice to how Leafs are laying the body.

By round 3 you're hanging on by a thread. Imagine having to face the Leafs.

Guarantee you they're praying Boston takes us out

*I say this assuming we'll have all of the 3 amigos running offense, insulated by this beast of a team.

 

[Blanche Blanche]

Off topic, but interesting to see that Freddy Andersen has allowed 3 goals on 12 shots, with about four minutes to go. The more things change, the more they remain the same.

I hope Sammy becomes Carey Price-like and the Narrative changes.
One hell of a story

If it's Marner glued to Matthews wing tonight how many points does he get? 1 at best? And obviously a Leafs L too.

You are preaching to the choir. I wanted Marner traded three years ago. He is an exceptionally skilled player with insane vision, when you have a player like Matthews, you need guys who did what Hyman did, "get him the puck...and fast!". Marner is not built for the playoffs, he is too East/West.

Brad would be wiser to trade Marner...let him walk if you need to (yes, I said it), in order to re-sign Bert and Domi. You might still have some money over for some depth. We will also see Brodies contract come off of the book AND a cap increase.

It is far from over this series, but the future vision must be clear. Which is why I am quite happy that Brad didn't overpay at the deadline. Caution is the better part of valour.

Teams have always done that against us. Remember Tampa? Pretty telling that the 'best organizations' in the NHL need to do this to beat the renowned playoff chokers...

Wind them up!

Leafs have an advantage now. They have to keep it. I think the Ulmark and Swayman alternating will cause some internal struggles now that one is losing. Willy coming back would be huge. The Leafs also have to learn to flop. If every other team has no integrity and are rewarded, it is time to play the Bettman game.

 

[BertCorbeau]

I really liked that in the last 6 minutes, starting with that PK, that the Leafs effectively made it a boring finish (mostly).

They didn't get pinned in, they won battles to get the puck out, and they played smart aggressive up ice to made it harder for Boston to get the zone.

That's how to close out a game

 

[Evilhomer]

Leafs in 5

Yup. Monty will spend his summer trying to rationalize his goalie decision.

 

[TIGERCOOL]

I'm sorry, but I can't be the only one tired of watching Boston start shit after the whistle CONSTANTLY, and then the Leafs doing the same and taking penalties. How about calling McAvoy or Carlo or Maroon for their love of throwing punches after the whistle once in a while?

I hate to say it but they're just better at it. Bertuzzi, Boosh and McCabe had absolutely no tact on those plays. The refs don't have a choice but to call those. Really stupid.

That's why you need Reaves

He was an absolute monster

His hits were beyond punishing, that line was great. Dewar quite effective as well.

 

[Jojalu]

Holmberg or jarnkrok

I was originally thinking Jarnkrok becuase of the rust, but he was pretty crucial protecting the lead.

Holmberg has done nothing deserving to be taken out but it probably will be him.

Robertson has had 2 really big chances and been robbed by both goalies.

Very tough choice that will be scrutinized and debatec endlessly for the upcoming 2 days

That's why we gotta stay disciplined they can't match our physical play

"But we need to get Marner and Matthew back together!"

On sale in the lobby

 

[Lightsol]

Marner shooting the puck on both pps is so laughable. Trade this whiner, 34 needs tougher guys like 59 and 11. Sammy got a call from his father!

What's hilarious is that I'm getting frustrated with no one else f***ing shooting when they get the chance...

 

[PanniniClaus]

Robertson comes out for Willy but who comes out for Mcmann?

Dewar or Knies

 

[MSZ]

Holy Mackinaw

They do it because it works. Ridiculous how much the refs buy their BS when they're playing us.

Hopefully Willy is good enough to go on Wednesday

Big props to the 4th line Dewar was a beast tonight .

Best one as a Leaf, IMO

Don't waste your time on the main boards.

For every objective opinion you get like 10 trolls.
