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

[DarkKnight]

He was barely noticeable, which is a great thing.

Nothing better than seeing that kind of ice time for a D man and saying "wow seems a lot, didn't notice him much" Check!

Yes, we need after the whistle stuff, but it does not have to be a punch to the face, or a slash so the Bruin can dive. Grab his stick, or his collar and get in his face, hell bear-hug him if you want, just no chincy stuff that the refs can call.. cause we all know they will.

Yup just give em the headlocks. They never call that one apparently. Hold em down until the ref gives you a warning.

 

[DarkKnight]

This is the Dewar I hoped we were getting. Good on the PK, smart smart defensively, effective on the boards and responsible. Nice add, good fit.

 

[BayStBullies]

Gets tapped on the right leg and amputated his left leg, what a f***ing clown:

Not talked about, Edmundson 22:30, second on D behind Reilly.

His board work is solid

Quiet game, but I thought he played really well.

I also thought the 3rd line had a really good game too.

It's going to be hard to decide who sits when McMann and Nylander are back.

 

[HomelessPepper]

Why? For not falling apart and doing his job? Lol. If you need to treat your pro athlete like a toddler... It's a problem

Is this a serious question?
Guy makes a few ten-bellers... "Why would you praise him?"
You can either have can't-stop-a-beachball Sammy, or clutch Sammy. Which one you want?

I get the sentiment, but they were calling Boosh and only Boosh until the Marchand dive and Boosh did exactly what you're saying here.

Maybe u guage it after game 3 then

His board work is solid

He just neutralizes his man and lets the forward clear it out the other side. Text book playoff hockey.

 

[BayStBullies]

I wish this fanbase had any sort of coordination or heart to it. Imagine a USA chant for Matthews?

If the refs have any pride, they let the next one go.

It's probably Robertson for Willy, he only got 7 mins tonight. Reaves got over 10. Holmberg was the next lowest after Robby with 9:45.

McMann probably isn't back this series unfortunately.

 

[57 Years No Cup]

It's refreshing to see the Leafs physicality taking a toll on the opposition

B-b-but we don't need no FaCEPunchErs!

 

[Al14]

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?

Exactly !!! Our POHO should be calling out the NHL for this !!!

 

[notbias]

A good problem to have, no complaints on my end.

Just thought there were originally two very obvious choices (Dewar and Robertson), and now I don't know who I'd take out for Willy/McMann, they both had great games.

It's probably Robertson for Willy, he only got 7 mins tonight. Reaves got over 10. Holmberg was the next lowest after Robby with 9:45.

McMann probably isn't back this series unfortunately.

Holmberg I think is staying in, we don't have too many Cs, and didn't expect Robertson's TOI to be that low, thought he was more noticeable than that.

 

[The Podium]

Would be fun if all the Leafs players used eye black to paint tears as a homage to Marchand.

 

[The Masters]

Bourne makes a good point post game
Lilegren just passes his problems off lol , doesnt make the better pass.
duno what keefe does

 

[keonsbitterness]

I wonder if winning this game means they sit Nylander for one more game.

 

[LeafEgo]

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.

Think #94 was a marked man after punching Lily from the bench. May have had something to do with McCabes heavy handedness.

Boosh drew the retaliation penalty so good on him for sticking up for Sammy for free.

 

[Leafs98]

Reaves set the tone early. Good game.

We gotta stay away from the drama dude. And just play

Boston noticed him

If he is ready, I hope not.

As much as I think this team is capable of winning without him, it's nice to add 100pts (minus 2) to the 3rd line and our PP.
