Post-Game Talk: Leafs beat Coyotes

[Leaf Fans]

Being at the game tonight you couldn’t imagine how fired up the crowd(and even the team started rolling) got after Reavo laid the big hit in the corner and then even more for his fight. You’d think he would recognize that and start doing that more often like why he was signed. He should give Rempe a shot early Saturday to get the boys going early

Yeah, but he was on the ice for Cooley's goal.

 

[Zybalto]

Don't think Team Canada will have a goaltending advantage against the Fins, Swedes, Russia and States.

Whatever the goalie, it will an upgrade on Campbell or Samsonov vs Price, Vasy and Bobrovsky no? He'll all three of those last guys are all world goalies and the other 2 crapped out of the league in the last 6 months while still in their primes. (And I do hope Samsonov has found his stride as ww need him to keep stepping up.)

 

[Squiffy]

As called, there tonight for the 21 year+ streak ending. Fun.

 

[Squiffy]

Thought Woll was good.Made saves.

 

[keonsbitterness]

Had to miss the 3rd to handle something really stupid. Glad we won and ended that losing streak.

 

[Ulysses31]

good to see bert potting some, guy can be a really streaky player

 

[BertCorbeau]

Bert getting hot for the stretch into the playoffs is really good. Need him confident when those tough playoff games come around, he might really shine.

Also glad to see Woll back

I stopped watching after I lost count of the number of no-look back passes. I'm glad it worked for Marner on the first goal, but come on. That stuff needs to stop.

Mitch looked back and dropped the puck perfectly.

I hate all the drop passes on the PP, but that was fine.

 

[notDatsyuk]

Glad you see Woll back.

Second and fourth lines good, first ok, third bad.

Good to see Matty score - great wait and pass by Willy.

Great look and drop by Mitch on the Knies goal.

 

[Jojalu]

In a surprising twist of fate, the Leafs are now 7-1 against bottom 5 teams in their past 8.

Getting it going at just the right time, he’s going to be impactful come playoff time………

Mitch looked back and dropped the puck perfectly.

I hate all the drop passes on the PP, but that was fine.

That was about as perfect a play as you could ask for……..

 

[horner]

Glad for the win
but
When we are up by 3 goals we need to play a safe game

Marner and Rielly going for it a backhanded pass at the blueline and Rielly pinching.
It gave Arizona life at that point they had 11 shots.
We need to learn this or we are going know where in the playoffs .
Bertuzzi keep up the great work
Love the 4th line
Robertson had a really bad game

 

[Evilhomer]

In a surprising twist of fate, the Leafs are now 7-1 against bottom 5 teams in their past 8.

I suspect their record against looks much different (i.e., better) later in the season compared to earlier. From memory, their losses against those kinds of teams are almost always earlier in the season.

That was about as perfect a play as you could ask for……..

Except that Knies clearly was not expecting the pass as he almost flubbed it. A second guy coming in like that is almost always thinking rebound rather than pass.

 

[Leaf Rocket]

Honestly thought we could've played a lot better.

I'm glad we got the win but there was a lot to be desired.

 

[banks]

The good:
Woll
Reaves
Nylander
Marner
Bertuzzi (and I normally hate him)

The bad:
Giordano injury
Watching former Leaf, Kerfoot, score against them.

 

[Zybalto]

Honestly thought we could've played a lot better.

I'm glad we got the win but there was a lot to be desired.

After years of outplaying the crap out of them and not getting the win, I'm not complaining. Like Bertuzzi, the Karma has to swing back eventually.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Honestly thought we could've played a lot better.

I'm glad we got the win but there was a lot to be desired.

I know the Coyotes are garbage, but they've been playing ok lately and it's clear they're desperate as hell for a win. They outplayed Winnipeg and Montreal in their most recent losses, and put up a good fight vs the Leafs.

I think the Leafs will be better against NYR
