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

[Leaffan1991]

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

Holmberg and they make Willy or Jarnkrok Center? Maybe not lol

 

[ToneDog]

greatest game ever as a leaf

And he did it w/o 16 or 88 on RW.

 

[57 Years No Cup]

and to think.. the Bruins still haven't seen Willy

That's what she said...

 

[Shooter2x]

Relax, it's one game. They will beat Boston, and then even win the second round, but I can promise that neither Carolina nor the Rangers are particularly afraid of playing the Leafs.

I'm obviously exaggerating when I say afraid. Emphasis was meant to point out how you need to be able to take a beating in order to beat us now.

By round 3 not many players can.

 

[Aashir]

Another thing was that the last pk with 6 minutes left was super aggressive, that’s what we need to do. We are way toooo passive against Boston and just let them setup up and move it around

 

[sxvnert]

All of a sudden ,Bert back on the PP = 1/3 on the PP

No one could have seen this coming.

 

[TheGreenTBer]

Yeesh, Isles were ahead 3:0 and blew it 5:3

Oh no!

Anyway

 

[Strangle]

greatest game ever as a leaf

He had such a good game

Just took over

 

[The Hanging Jowl]

By far the most positive thing tonight was Samsonov having a good game. Going back to him for this game was the right move. Now they have a not-mentally-fragile Samsonov and that's bad news for the Bruins.

 

[DarkKnight]

The geek stats, surely we looked good there tonight? My eye says so anyways.

 

[Lightsol]

All of a sudden ,Bert back on the PP = 1/3 on the PP

No one could have seen this coming.

Aren't we glad the PP will be back to the usual once Nylander gets back?

I love the little rivalry forming between Bert and Marchand.

Through 2 games Bertuzzi has been the most impactful out of the 2. Marchand is invisible 5 on 5. Bert is everywhere

Bert knows Marchand! I would love to hear his private take on him.

 

[Evilhomer]

I would be. This is the nastiest iteration of the Leafs we've seen in years, and if they get any kind of goaltending at all, they're dangerous.

I think Leafs fans think that because the team finally has some physical players the rest of the league should cower in fear. Carolina and the Rangers have physical players, too. So does Boston. So do Florida and Tampa. And every other playoff team (save for maybe the Islanders). None of these teams are scared of any other team. Where the Leafs are going to run into a problem is special teams, where a team like Carolina has the potential to eat them for lunch. It's fine against Boston because they aren't much of a threat to score. It won't be so easy against Carolina or the Rangers.

 

[The Podium]

Gotta give Reaves credit. I was probably his biggest detractor the day that contract was signed. He played a big role tonight.

Matthews showing the world what he’s capable of.

Marner a ghost…..

Lyubushkin should never touch the puck. Ever.

Knies needs to keep his head up, I bet he comes out of the lineup for Nylander even if just to heal some bruises.

 

[wingman75]

And he did it w/o 16 or 88 on RW.

I think that was always going to be the case. He needs to drive his own line. Always did to be at his best.

Superb. Now, he has to do it again... and again... and again.

 

[PromisedLand]

I am still trying to figure out what got Boosh so worked up. Anyone have any idea?

 

[A1LeafNation]

On the plus side, if Marner ever finds his game, we'll be a force to reckon with.

It's been 8 years...he has never stepped up when it matters.

Bertuzzi Matthews Domi
Knies ________ Nylander
______ Minten Cowan

 

[DarkKnight]

We know someone comes out for Willie, not sure anyone comes out for McMann. I'm not sitting Dewar, nor Knies and definitely not Reaves right now.

 

[Strangle]

The best teaM won

Knies has been steadily regressing the second half of the season

 

[Gabriel426]

Holmberg and they make Willy or Jarnkrok Center? Maybe not lol

It will be Robbie when Willie comes back, despite Knies getting knock down quite a bit, his size is very useful

 

[DarkKnight]

He hit Sammy in the head with his stick.

 

[PromisedLand]

I missed it. Coyle is a pos for doing that

Dude I love your avatar. Definitely my favorite moment of the season so far.
