It's so bizarre the old moo-cow slab'o'beef in the back end is the one standing up for his teammates all the time.

They're better of with him on the ice than the 6'2" pile of stink Reaves was every night. I didn't even know they could pile shit that high. Seeing Giordano step up like that is what real leadership looks like.

Not whatever Tavares was doing on the bench when Liljegren got hurt.

Fifteen games into the season and Kampf has more goals than Domi. Put your hand up if you saw that one coming. Robertson has two goals already in only four games played.

Speaking of Robertson...

I'm not convinced he makes it out of the season alive. I'm not sure what the problem is. Lack of on ice awareness, can't skate with his head up, I don't know.

But that guy has head case written all over him.

Go Leafs Go!!!

I don’t think Domi will finish the season with less goals than Kampf but he has never really been a goal scorer.
He does have a couple 20 goal seasons when he was getting top line minutes which he was never going to get here. But overall he has finished as many seasons with a single digit number of goals as he has with a double digit goal total.

For someone who is supposedly known as a one dimensional offensive player he doesn't really bring a lot of anything offensive.

Other than the fact I'm offended he makes $3M to not score any goals.

He is a flawed player, that’s why he has bounced around so much. If he wasn’t such a flawed player we wouldn’t have been able to sign him to a 1 year deal on the second day of free agency for 3M.
Overall he had a good game tonight I don’t know what else you expected.

I definitely don’t think he is an ideal player at all. But he isn’t nearly the biggest problem right now.

So weird how we won a game with Klingberg playing.

Despite him not being on the ice for either of the Nucks goals, I have absolutely no idea what he was doing on either of the Nucks goals. Terrible defending.

Great game for the Buds! Seemed like they had no gas in the first, but with fights from Gio and Domi to defend teammates after hits it was clear they had some life in them. Big win on a back to back against one of the high flying teams in the league, this is something you can build on.

Fourth line was productive immediately without Reaves lmao.
 
They would have lost if no response from giordano and domi... Playing soft is so deflating... Fight and hit this team wins just lile every other skilled team that hits and fights
 
Could have just been an off night for them
Maybe they had a late night and players don’t play guilty anymore. They played very slow and I doubt that was the game plan against the Leafs. Most want to play faster and take advantage.

Remind me to never fight Mark Giordano.

It's awesome to see the sacrifice both Giordano and Spezza showed to this franchise at the end of their careers.

Last night felt like a game where playing a rested good team, on a back to back and going down 1-0, we could have easily rolled over and had a built in excuse but the team showed alot of fight and battled very hard.

Those are the type of character wins you need to get and shows a strong resilience.

They are shooting 16% this year and Demko has crazy stats... they are just not as good as their record shows

They will go on a cold streak at some point, this will normalize and people won't be talking like they are the best team ever
 
Liked that

Nice strong bounce back game for Samsonov, he showed some real mental fortitude tonight to stop the spiraling

I really liked the 3rd and 4th lines to, our big boys are going to get there's but if our bottom 6 start producing were going to put some teams to the sword

The improvement from the depth lines helped out the defense to, being responsible and winning battles makes a defensemans job much easier and the boys on the backend responded

Also well done Domi and Gio, we didn't back down or take any ****, great to see guys having each other's backs

If Giordano was 5 years young you give him the 'C'.

No doubt they've started the season hot but just as I'm not going to judge the team on the first 15 games, I'm not judging them on one game either
