too many positives to count from this game TBH. I'll do my best to summarize all of them:
-Marner extends point streak
-JT continues his consistent play
-Matthews really starting to heat up
-Shutout by Murr in what was maybe the best display of goaltending we've seen from any Leafs tendy since Ed Belfour
-the Boys were throwing themselves fearlessly into shooting lanes (this was my favorite thing about last night
-Sandin and Lilly stepping up to look like legit top 4 defensmen. Both of which logged over 23 mins, and were absolutely dominant in there TOI
-killed 7 powerplays against one of the better teams in the NHL......7
-played a man down on the back end for 2 periods I believe, and aside from a couple blunders we played great
-The worse Robertson ended his Pt streak against us
-Kerf breaks his seal, albeit into an empty cage
-Leafs win against a very good team
I think I covered most of it there....
Obviously we don't win that game without Murr, and he deserves the majority of the love here. But that was a playoff style, character building win from the boys. Gutsy effort all night long. Literally the only negatives I can even think was that one PP we had where we gave up like 3 odd man rushes, and our lack of discipline in the penalty department. Especially when Holl threw the puck lol. I had flashbacks of Kappy throwing his broken stick against MTL. Legit thought that was going the turning point. And I was not wrong, it was the turning point IN OUR FAVOUR!!! what a 5 on 3 kill. Shit I forgot that in my list!!!
GO LEAFS GO!!
