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

[BertCorbeau]

Knies reminds me a lot of the early-day Hyman. Who knows, he might score 50 someday - in blue and white.

He just needs to be smart and not put himself in vulnerable positions.

That hopefully will come with experience.

 

[LaPlante94]

Bert is still killing so many plays for Matty and Domi... Domi has been a stud though.

Bert is the reason why they get so many chances to make plays though. He provides what Hyman did by being very good at getting pucks for them.

But that’s Bert’s style, he is a chaos player in front of the net

 

[TorMapleJays]

Hahaha Jack Edwards

 

[Legion34]

You need Marner to match up with pasta

Honestly if it were me I would do

Domi. Matty. Jarnkrok
Bobby. Jt. Mitch
Bert. Holm. Willy

Sit the kids. That gives a defensive presence on top 2 lines and let. Willy feast

Probably

Gonna be

The Swedes as a 3rd line.

 

[Duffman955]

Were not getting roughed up and physically dominated like in years past.

We actually look like the more physical team.

Reaves, Domi, Bertuzzi, Edmonson, huge additions

He's used to being one of the bigger guys on the ice. Needs to adjust a little as you say.

He had a really good game tonight. I can't think of any turnovers... kept it simple and was effective.

Got unlucky when his stick broke off a shot from a broken play.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Absolutely, for a puck mover he was just continual panic passes to nobody a lot of times. He scares me back there to be honest, that lack of poise will cost us, right now he shows AHL hockey IQ. Bourne was spot on.

Keefe having no confidence in him in previous years' doesn't help. Seems like he's worried one mistake will send him to the press box.

He was much better this season when he was given leash to play his game, and the minutes to do so.

Need this playoff experience to grow.

Keefe putting him out there for a shift with 3 minutes left says a lot

 

[PromisedLand]

this is video proof you walk away from Marner when you can

It pissed me off so much during the game. I am like WTF are you doing? if you don't wanna engage physically at least f***ing stand up at the wall and block the pass jackass

Gonna be the Swedes. It’s tough. Robby should have had 2. He’s just small

 

[BertCorbeau]

Edmunson's size and reach on the back end is noticeable.

 

[Leaf4Life79]

MARCHAND WHINING AND TEARS!

Domi was amazing. Keep him glued to Matthews side.

Loved the fake Marchand slash drama, what a fukking clown
Go Leafs GO!

f*** this little rat

Scratching Lilly isn't the correct play. There have been worse d men than him

Hahaha Jack Edwards

You know it's bad when Jack is screaming about it. Good for him. But refs will double down Wednesday.

 

[DarkKnight]

let this be a lesson if it already ain't. Incompetent people shouldn't be put on a pedestal no matter the subject matter field whether it be: 1) business, 2) sports, 3) sciences, 4) politics, 5) psychiatry, etc...

The bigger the incompetence and ego at the top the bigger the blunder it will be that would ruin everyone and everything

It was a blessing in disguise that he got fired !

It was kind of amazing how so many fell in love before he even made a move. One of the weirdest periods of my Leaf watching days. Just instantaneous buy in, many in the media too.

But that’s Bert’s style, he is a chaos player in front of the net

It's been working so I don't want to change it, it is just frustrating to see how many plays die on his stick.

Bert is the reason why they get so many chances to make plays though. He provides what Hyman did by being very good at getting pucks for them.

He gets in on the forecheck, and I am happy that the line is working... just much like Hyman did, it is frustrating to watch him constantly fan on passes and lose the puck... but he is a net positive and finally spreading out the talent is great.

You don't touch that first line, don't mess with something that is currently great.

 

[Gabriel426]

Edmunson's size and reach on the back end is noticeable.

One thing I notice is that when the puck is in the corner even on opposite side, Edmundson will go in and Lilly will be out. Think he is taking the forecheck and let Lilly do the outlet pass.

 

[SprDaVE]

Knies reminds me a lot of the early-day Hyman. Who knows, he might score 50 someday - in blue and white.

Knies seemed a lot more comfortable in a lesser role in the latter part of the season. I like him but he's clearly not doing much of anything to help Marner or JT. He's just ... there. He's not winning many puck battles or creating anything. He's working hard and doing ok but... meh.

I think the Leafs need Nylander back really bad so that they can shuffle their mid lines. I know Robertson will end up sitting but he's been good so that will be another issue altogether because I dunno if you can change the 4th line either.

Not on our team, heck even Boosh was clearing it better. Stop being such a homer with the guy, he was maddening tonight.

its like they were creating a fake "perception"

It was hockey media equivalent of George Orwell's 1984

 

[57 Years No Cup]

If Marner can go back to being Marner, I don't see Boston winning another game this series.

Marner is being Marner. Playoff Marner.

It was like that movie "you had me at analytics"
