Post-Game Talk: Leafs beat Connor Hellebuyck 4-3, end 3 game skid in OT

[Leafsfan74]

A playoff style, "don't give up" win. They have supreme confidence, overcoming an insane goalie performance and an absurd, egregious non-call in OT.

Just get the 2 points and justice has been served.

 

[Teeder Keon]

I've never seen a prettier backhand shot in my life. That was f'n electric! What a player.

Too bad you didn’t see Dave Keon

 

[ACC1224]

Jets turned the puck over to Reilly

Looked like Marner cleared it.

 

[leafsfan5]

They're the second best team in the division, were just on another level when we decide to play

Yup I have them number 2 as well.

Their defense can't control our offense as we come in waves. Helly is the saving grace for them and if his magic ever runs out they're in a lot of trouble.

 

[123offtheglass]

Seen that move before

 

[TheScandal89]

Also shoutout to Captain JT for dangling the Jets team and setting up Nylander for that needed second goal.. what an effort from the captain

He played a very good game, he could have had at least 3 assists if Hellebuyck didn't rob Nylander so many times

 

[Gallagbi]

What was last game out of curiosity?

 

[ToMaLe]

This game should not have been close but still nice to get the 2 points.

 

[Nylander88]

Yes, another win despite Andersen and his once again under .900% on the night.

So padded by the team around him and so many others can't see our backup and third stringer have a better save percentage lol

 

[Aashir]

It matters when his save percentage on the season is around .900% and his save percentage in most games this season have been under .900%. Team has been lights out good this season offensively and defensively has been superb as well.

The finger SHOULD be pointed at the weakest link, Andersen is that and the sole reason we lost the game prior to this one.

How about we just celebrate this win. And that dirty Matthews backhander, watching it still makes me feel electrified. Our big boys came to play and we won, just celebrate and move on, if a bad game comes and we lose, then bring it up

 

[Teeder Keon]

Was rooting for Agostino. Can't say I was impressed
Maybe he needs few more games

4th line was Casper tonight

Keefe likes putting guys in games and then not use them.

 

[Gary Nylund]

Seriously if not for Hellebuyck the Jets would be on the outside looking in. Holy shit they really are terrible defensively. Chances galore and they only stay in games cause Helle performs miracles.

Nah, WPG is a very good team and Helly doesn't play like that every night. They showed the numbers at one point during the broadcast, at that point Helly was something like .940 against us this season and .909 against the rest of the league.

For point of reference, just 3 games ago, Andersen was at .909 for the season.

 

[lebdafor norris]

The Main Board weren't exaggerating when they said that the Jets awful D is a huge anchor on that team.

 

[Superstar]

Seriously if not for Hellebuyck the Jets would be on the outside looking in. Holy shit they really are terrible defensively. Chances galore and they only stay in games cause Helle performs miracles.

It's the reason why they lost to Montreal 7-1 a few games ago...if Helle doesn't play well, they don't win.

 

[On-the-Fly]

They ask him what he likes most half way through the season and future captain nostrils says the tight knit locker room.

This is encouraging.

 

[Gallagbi]

Also shoutout to Captain JT for dangling the Jets team and setting up Nylander for that needed second goal.. what an effort from the captain

Huge play as well, things weren't looking good until then

 

[HellasLEAF]

Wow what a game. That game deserved fans in the seats. Impressed with the Leafs tonight they just kept coming and would not be denied.

And that Matthews GWG I mean wow.

 

[hamzarocks]

Looked like Marner cleared it.

He got the 2nd assist on the OT winner. He got the puck to rielly, who made nice pass before AM34 with the dirty finish

 

[smokes lets go]

Finally our first win when trailing after 2.

 

[hotpaws]

Helle with the .895 save % , lucky for us he was just as bad as Andy .

 

[Confucius]

Disgusting noncall, the hockeyGods then took over and gave the refs the big F U

 

[Primary Assist]

Freddy: .902sv%
Backups: .940sv%

Helleybuck: .912sv%
Brossoit (WPG Backup): .923sv%

Maybe the Jets should play their backups more???

 

[123offtheglass]

That was an awful lot of Nylander for only 16:04 jeez, talk about generating high scoring chances per 60...

 

[Gary Nylund]

Freddy: .902sv%
Backups: .940sv%

Take a night off hating on Andersen, put down the calculator and enjoy the win FFS.

Too bad you didn’t see Dave Keon

Yes sir. I was thinking exactly the same thing!
