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

[Stephen]

he's also the first guy not named Pat to coach the leafs to a series win since 1987

He's Pat Keefe today. He's earned it.

Eyssimont and Perry are 2 Bolts that are UFA's now. Either would look good on the Leafs 4th line next year. Should be cheap too.

 

[Confucius]

I think the Leafs are a better playoff team on the road because they play more disciplined.

I want Boston and they can have home ice advantage. Not because we have a better chance of beating them, but because it would be so much more meaningful.

If we face Boston and pull off the upset by winning the series, it would be massive for the psyche of this team and the fan base.

If Florida knocks off Boston they will be higher than a kite, they won’t be a pushover they would be tougher than a cruising Boston.

No to Perry. That ship has sailed.

Darren Raddysh has one more year on his deal but he seems like a solid find.

 

[seventieslord]

You guys are a f***ing bunch of bums! All of you!

.... For those who don't get it. I am pretty sure it's what Hagel was shrieking as he left the ice following the 3rd period

Schenn took a lot of heat from veteran posters like sea of blue. Kb. Dekes for days
Quote some of their takes in the schenn trade forums
Metrics show he is one of the worst dmen in the league
I love this one from kb - he should never be in the lineup brfore holl - holl is so much better
Schenn should be our 8th dman at best.

Schenn was one of out best dmen this entire series. Nullified perry and jeanott hit everything in sight
Played solid defense and allowed Reilly liberty to join the rush

This acquisition may be our most important
Kudos to luke for proving all the naysayers wrong

I will quite happily admit I was wrong about Schenn. I was not impressed by him the first time here, especially when he put on too much weight, and I didn't think he would be more than another of our 7th D.

 

[Albus Dumbledore]

f***ing finally. Big guns are showing out, our goalie is playing well, D are solid too.
Going forward hopefully liljegren draws In and holl out. And the depth can produce a bit more. Also Knies should be a mainstay kid is young and can play.

 

[notDatsyuk]

Like I said, he's one of the best open ice hitters I've seen wear the blue and white in a long time

I might have to go back to Allan Stanley to see more beautiful open-ice hits in a playoff round.

 

[mix1home]

I don't understand this feeling. It's strange, so ... different.
But I like it.

Oh, and then to be watching Sunday's game to see who our next opponent will be?
It's been a long time coming.

There is no way B’s are blowing it at home. It would be Bruins we face. We need to exercise ALL demons.

 

[djdev]

Fair enough, i do agree he could have picked up after the other mistakes and miscues, but hes down my list of concerns there

all i know is everyone has to up their game, tb while having an inferior year clearly showed us what u gotta do to win, we got the breaks they got last year which is overdue lol. going forward i just wanna see everyone do that little bit extra, cuz i truly think they are primed for a run now that they got over the hump.

GO LEAFS!

 

[as Pure as Evil]

i would like to thank samsonov murray (oft injured but serviceable, whom should be dealt at the draft for a mid rounder ) and woll for giving us the goaltending i expected when we replaced jack and petr got damn near crucified stating we were going to get better more consistent goaltending and it wouldn't be close . well first year turned out to be a hell of a start

 

[3blizzard4]

I wonder if McDavid flew down from LA to partake in the celebrations.

 

[saltming]

I might have to go back to Allan Stanley to see more beautiful open-ice hits in a playoff round.

That's before my time but I remember a guy named yuschvich that played for us

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Yuschevich and Markov. That was a fun pair.

 

[All Mod Cons]

Outstanding. I can't believe it, but we did it.

 

[Gallagbi]

Yuschevich and Markov. That was a fun pair.

Oh man, I had that salut GIF queued up pregame and forgot to post it!

 

[notDatsyuk]

The Oilers advanced? Who knew? A tree falling in the forest and all that.

I watched that game, and I was sure they blew it when Skinner fanned on the puck for LA's tying goal late. Glad they won.

 

[kb]

I was just thinking of grabbing a Caesar

It's Caesar day at my local speakeasy dressed up as a family restaurant.

 

[Master P]

Little late but just wanted to say congrats on the series win!

Don't let Boston do Boston things if you guys face them in round 2.

GG

 

[mix1home]

Ok, Leafs fans, they just finished counting Mail-in votes overnight and apparently Tampa won.

 

[Eternal Leaf]

What a feeling waking up today!

After sticking it out through the lows, I'm truly enjoying this moment. Hopefully, it's just the beginning of a memorable cup run.

 

[Spargon]

I love how laser focused Matthews looks and sounds. In the handshake line, post game interviews etc he's just cold as ice eyes on the prize, this is nice but only the first step. I'm hoping with the pressure of that first win off their backs they've awoken a giant.
