Post-Game Talk: Leafs 5-3 Win

[ChurchOfMatthews]

TOR is miles ahead in the North while 5 other teams will fight over three playoff spots. Let s face it CGY is Gaudreau, aging Giordano, Markstrom. VAN has been bad but reversal to the mean expected, WPG has a good top 6 but that s all, EDM is based on two players, MTL has no elite players and think they can win with two 20 yr old projected Top 6 yet not elite centers and Chiarot top LHD (Habs fan here)

I like what TOR has been doing this offseason but let us see what happens in the playoffs. There is 99 per cent chances the leafs are representing Canada in the big four. I just hope for them Marner or Matthews don t get injured !

Question for you instead of riling up your forum. What's up with Gallagher? He just doesn't seem to be the same effective pest we're used to seeing. His size starting to catch up with him or just an off year?

 

[GoodNewfieBoy]

Any word on muzzin?

also armia better be suspended

 

[BertCorbeau]

Was happy to get a coaches challenge go our way .. What a wacky sequence.

I thought we would get the shaft there

 

[Confucius]

When and who was the last player to score 18 goals in 18 games?

Aww we don't want to go there. Like this and I"ll tell ya

I'm usually a very positive guy when it comes to the leafs.

But believe it or not, there's a cynic buried deep deep down in my psyche.

And that cynical voice is wondering if the division is just super weak and we're preying on them.

But I just bitch-slapped that cynical voice, and have decided to just embrace how fun it is watching the boys dominate night after night.

Who is this person and what have you done with TMW?

 

[stickty111]

Perfectly fine by me. No he didn't get benched for this so called perimeter player garbage. Puck management issues

[ShaneFalco]

Nylander has another gear but doesn't use it often

 

[Griffin76]

What about takeaways? Or is that under stick checks?

 

[Cobra777]

Better chance to find him if you put it on a milk carton.

lol

 

[RoadWarrior]

Any word on muzzin?

also armia better be suspended

The paternity test is in........... he is the Daddy.

 

[ClarkSittler]

Remember when we were all ready to jump off a cliff after the OT loss to the Sens? Good times!

 

[Teeder Keon]

The hit count, apparently.

1st period
Vesey , defensive coverage by all 5 players on the ice in the first period , Holl , Muzzin , Engvall
2nd period
Then we started playing better
3rd
A bit too much defensive shell
All in all we will take the victory

thank you Fred

 

[garce]

Lol another pushed pad in the Calgary game, if they just gave Jumbo the goal he deserved its moot,

 

[jaric1862]

Hopefully Muzzin is okay, don't want him out of the lineup for Monday's matchup against Calgary.

Speaking of Monday...put Sabourin in the lineup.

 

[Teeder Keon]

 

[GoonieFace]

We have the best player in the league

Let that sink in

When did we trade for Radko Gudas?

 

[ShaneFalco]

Hopefully Muzzin is okay, don't want him out of the lineup for Monday's matchup against Calgary.

Speaking of Monday...put Sabourin in the lineup.

careful - don't wanna upset KT

 

[GoonieFace]

2 of the best players in the league. So fun to watch

yeah Boyd and Vesey are special

 

[supermann_98]

Nylander + Dermott + pick to Nashville for Filip Forsberg and Dante Fabro?

If that pick is a 2nd or 3rd rounder and not a 1st I'd make this trade

 

[Leafsfan74]

the number of games is similar but gretz kept mixing in those 3; 4 and 5 goal games

Yeah, more of a comparison of staying insanely hot for such a length of time. A good chunk of the season has gone by and he remains consistent.

That consistency was Gretzky trademark. He'd have at least a point for dozens of games in a row. Matthews has been on such A heater. One year more than half of the season Gretzky maintained a point streak. Unheard of today.

 

[Nineteen67]

Montreal is back to being Montreal. Not really a playoff team but could make the semis if they made it in.

 

[Battle Lin]

keefe has played vesey, mikheyev, barabanov, simmonds, hyman, spezza, and kerfoot with tavares and nylander, maybe boyd and engvall or petan got shifts in too, i dont remember

man just keep hyman with them and leave it alone for awhile...hes like a perfect linemate for tavares nylander...or even better put robertson on their LW, your tried everybody, try robertson

 

[Mickey Marner]

Need to cut down on the breakaways we allow, but solid game otherwise.
