Post-Game Talk: Leafs beat Oilers (and refs!) 4-3. We're going streaking!

[A1LeafNation]

McDavid clearly frustrated in his post game.

 

[Sypher04]

Man, some of these questions they are asking McDavid are just trash.
I feel for the guy. He's been consistently excellent since coming into the league and just can't get anywhere.
That said, I hope we smoke the Oilers Saturday.

I watched on Sportsnet west and was laughing so hard at the Edmonton commentators at the end

What were they saying?

Love your profile pic btw

Edmonton doesn't have a Marner or Nylander. I don't think their best defenceman is as good as Muzzin or Rielly. They don't have a decent goalie.

How are these 2 teams similar? Because they have crappy 4th lines? That's flimsy reasoning.

Toronto's playing like shit but they're not a shit team. There's a difference.

I know I mean Edmonton is the shit version of Toronto... they are similar in style but Toronto is good (relative to Edmonton).

Anyone see that play where Hyman and Barrie were racing to the corner to retrieve the puck? Ive never been so confident on the outcome of a play in my life

I was thinking the exact same thing. I even called my shot there.

 

[The Iceman]

At this point in their careers I am not sure in what universe I would sit Engvall to play Barabanov?

Could have used an extra PKer tonight.

 

[cupcrazyman]

Leafs 1st Overall

For now.

Glad we pulled out a win given the garbage officiating. I still hate seeing Mikheyev on the top 6, but I think Keefe is atleast partially doing it to get him going offensively

[Man Bear Pig]

Pretty telling when BOTH fan bases saying it was badly officiated.

Problem is, the Oilers had no business even being in the game. The Leafs went up 2 and suddenly you couldn't breathe on an Oilers player. Sure, the refs made a shitty call or two later on, but that was after the Oilers made it even. I'm tired of the refs dictating the outcome based on the score. Its getting ridiculous with the game management at this point.

 

[TheGroceryStick]

First time in my life I'm happy with a Maple Leafs defense core lol.

They look sturdy. Not too often am I worried. Oddly enough it's looking like Dermott is the weakest (if we can say that)

But Bogo and Holl are carrying a load I didnt think they were capable of; also think theres still room for Brodie , Rielly and Muzz to kick it up a notch.

Good to see

 

[CabanaBoy5]

I agree the refs were atrocious this game, but they were actually kind of more on our side in the third.

Regradless, 7-2. Can't complain.

Yeah, the refs were on our side in the third, they gave the oilers 3 powerplays and ours 2. We should count our blessings lol. 7 PPs for them to our 4. Once again, it’s not that we’re getting more penalties than the opposition each game, it’s that the calls against us are so weak.

 

[Albus Dumbledore]

Leafs actually having 4 top 4 dmen is so nice to see. Makes a grown man want to cry.

 

[Sniper99]

Andersen playing Game 2? or Gulp!!! God help us all, Hutchinson starting?

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

What’s it going to take for McDavid to request a trade? They’ve got Tyson Barrie leading their defense. Just been shit every single year.

Their best D is out for the year, but yeah, it's still terrible when healthy

 

[Morbo]

I feel bad for McDavid, who is literally wasting his career in Edmonton....but not the Oilers organization or their Leaf/Toronto-hating fanbase

 

[7even]

Post of the night lmao

 

[Tlo1]

You know Reilly wouldn’t have made that soft pass to Matthew’s for the Game winner that Brodie made.

 

[CabanaBoy5]

I didn't think the John Tavares contract would get ugly this fast. The guy was getting pushed off the puck by ******* Ethan Bear.

This team is just giving us false hope by winning these games.

I look at it differently...imagine how good we’ll be when we actually start playing 60 minutes and don’t have to play against the refs.

 

[Wafflewhipper]

Someone give these guys an eye exam.
Graham Skilliter #24
Chris Schlenker #3

The Flatlander there never seen a hill before in his life either. How’s he going to see a puck. He was that late on a whistle on freddy thete one scrum in the crease, i went for a pee and made it back before the whistle.
The other striper there was putting on a show for his home team.

but joking aside, this could have been a four three game with no penalties and just let two teams get rolling. The refs were terrible.

 

[saffronleaf]

He said it with some sarcasm and humour.

He knows refs helped em.

lol it's hard to tell with him

It would be a miracle for us to get him. I just cant see it happening. Even if he asks to be traded here and to no other team. I just cant see Dubas (if still around if McDave does ask for a trade) or any other GM pulling that off.

 

[saffronleaf]

Man, some of these questions they are asking McDavid are just trash.

the more thoroughly we destroy them the more he'll want to come play for us

 

[MattySnipes]

lol it's hard to tell with him

The media ask him such stupiddd questions bro. I feel bad for him.
