Post-Game Talk: LEAFS ADVANCE TO 2nd ROUND BABY!!!!

[Mr_Fun]

Ok, I'll do it -- Keefe gets credit for moving Holl out and going with the 7 dmen. When I saw the line up, I really liked it. I think the players love playing for him - despite some possible strategic flaws - so there's something to be said for that. Keefe is a players coach.

Congrats Leafs fans! As someone of a fan that suffered first round defeats for years, I'm genuinely happy for you all.

Question: do you think Shanny, Dubas, Keefe are safe, or is more work to be done? I think they need to get to at least game 6 in round 2 (though I think they'll go much further than this). I'm curious what you all think.

LMAO The Iron Sheik is getting into it too

They're probably all safe now but that's a debate for another day. We got a lot more hockey to play.

 

[Mr_Fun]

Also never come out of the line up Liljegren .. the d look so much better with him

The Lilly at the end of the season was a tragedy. To be fair, so was Reilly. At any rate, there is no reason now not to trust him. I think he'll get the game 1 start.

If the next opponent if Florida.... have to beat them to be safe. 100%.

If the next opponent is Boston... can't get humiliated.

Win, or acquit yourselves well in a hard-fought loss.

 

[Canucks LB]

I told you guys, he was the heart and soul of the Canucks this year, and is a completely different player than the past.

He is the definition of a leader, and you guys are very very lucky to have him.

My favourite part of this series happened when Tampa sold their farm for.. *checks notes* Tanner Jeannot

Nice that the Leafs' additions helped make him a non-factor.

Also after game 1, Perry really disappeared surprisingly .. didn't see/hear his name much. He's usually a PITA against the Leafs

 

[Zybalto]

We gotta appreciate this especially considering how stellar Tampa's record at home was this season

25% of Tampa's losses at home this season at the hands of the Leafs is kinds nuts

 

[BertCorbeau]

I think Knies feels a bit better about playing in Tampa now

Perry disappeared after the first game. No clue what happened

I think Dubas gets resigned now, but I think his deadline deals were enough to get him signed. I'm not sure with Keefe. I'd think 100% sure if they win one more round. If these guys look happy to just win a round, Keefe might be done. JMO

I think Schenn set him straight with that fight.

 

[MCR74]

Who?

l.think he kinda maybe plays for the Habs, or something.

This seemed improbable. But I fact-checked it. And it's true.

 

[CabanaBoy5]

Dubas has to be given a lot of credit for bringing in more playoff ready players. Samsonov was a huge add. Schenn Acciari and McCabe massive additions. Regardless what happens from here on in he deserves an extension.

 

[LaPlante94]

He was one of their better players the 1st 3 games imo and had like 5 points in those 3 games. After game 3 though Cooper completely stopped playing his 4th line so that took Perry out of the series.

 

[JimmyJiveJones]

I didnt realise how much i wanted the Leafs to win until Tavares scored that goal and how loud i cheered. GL from a miserable Canuck Fan

 

[Leaffan197703]

Trading five draft picks for one player was crazy nuts the leafs traded five draft picks for 4 players to improve their team depth was brilliant

 

[TheMadHatTrick]

Schenn is such a beaut. Was not a fan of his while he was here, but his game has really grown and matured. With the type of "old school" game he plays though it was always going to get better with age and experience. Kind of reminds me of Luke Richardson's career arc. I hope we resign him this summer.

Gotta find a way to dump Murray so we can keep O'Reilly and extend Samo as well.

Thanks.

That'll be in my nightmares.
