Post-Game Talk: LEAFS defeat montreal hockey team 2-1

[Rants Mulliniks]

That used to be Willy, but damn has that guy ever amped up his game. Effing playing with no fear and on a mission.

Most DRAMATIC UNPRECEDENTED overpayment in the history of the world!

 

[Gary Nylund]

I'd be careful making too many changes to the lineup in the playoffs after a win.

I think we played bad enough in the 3rd for this not to be an issue.

 

[Stephen]

Nash was so meh. Would love Robertson to get in there.

Nash was fine in his role. I think Robertson would struggle with the pace.

I woud as well. But I would make those changes regardless of wins and losses.

Also, forwards, these are easy to change. Robertsson already played few playoff games and Brooks have looked good

Inserting Engvall was a good decision. We should insert another young blood

Yea, I wouldn't mind seeing Brooks and maybe Robertson.

I don’t understand the dislike towards Marner. He got an apple and he’s doing alright defensively. Leave him be. I get it $11 million but the Leafs are winning and he’s not hurting them. Even without playing his best he’s still helping the team produce. Good players produce even when they don’t look spectacular. He’s also getting several looks. Last game he put a good shot on net from the Nylander feed and Price just pulled a Price. Cant do shyt about that.
This game people are saying he should have shot but there was no opening on that one play and he was on his backhand. He’s not Joe Sakic ffs. It was the right percentage play to try to create a play

Unless we win the cup then Campbell will want Binnington's contract, lol.

If we won the Cup Campbell could probably ask for whatever he wants.

 

[Cpt Maple Leaf]

Helps that Willie built up his body. Marner might need to think about getting stronger.

Just a lot...

 

[unitedstars87]

William was great last game, but even better tonight.

 

[OpenNetSniper]

Good riddance. We should be able to sign Campbell cheaper than Freddie’s current contract for 3 years. We need the cap space.

Like what...$3.5-4 mil per yr? Less?

 

[djdev]

nash isnt the issue, you replace gally or thornton...both ideally.

 

[fahad203]

Nash was fine in his role. I think Robertson would struggle with the pace.

I disagree. He has no defined role. Just because he's bottom 6 doesn't mean he's not expected to be on the ofensive zone or try to be offensive. Days of Bill Berg are long gone.

I have no problem with the role, the thing is he looks slow. Especially against a team like the Habs, you have to be able to skate

 

[Suntouchable13]

If we won the Cup Campbell could probably ask for whatever he wants.

Yea, you're right. I wouldn't give a damn then. Good point.

 

[The Masters]

Habs = columbus last year
Leafs need to keep up the high pace and dont settle. Thornton stinks. Enough already. Keefe feels guilty to bench him but if he had balls he would.
Need to win the next game to wrap this up in Toronto

 

[unitedstars87]

If we won the Cup Campbell could probably ask for whatever he wants.

As he should

I'd love to see Robertson playing, dont care if this effects his ELC. The kid showed in the playoffs that he knows what it takes.

 

[Superstar]

Rest our top 2 lines tomorrow night to make it fair.

They had their rest in the 3rd period tonight...

Marner's issues are all between the ears. Highly doubt bulking up would do him any good.

 

[Gary Nylund]

Brooks in Jumbo out is almost a lock to be an improvement. The proverbial no Brainer. Jumbo should show what a gud pro he is and ask for a rest tomorrow.

 

[The Masters]

Great win, the odds keep getting stacked against us with injuries and we've been able to dig deep. Need to come back and win tomorrow, its just as crucial.

Caufield is gonna be a problem when he figures out how to find space 5 on 5.

Caufield is already their best forward

[WatchOut]

Embarrassing third period... took a lot of the excitement out of the win to be honest, really not a win we deserved.

That said, big props to Campbell on big night, and credit to the boys for a great first 40 with tough injuries to fight through... Let's get our heads out of our asses and get it together for tomorrow

How do we not deserve the win, what did montreal really do in the first 40 mins of the game. Price bailed them out and prevented a 4-1 lead heading into the third.

The team could have played the third better, but they weren't trying to play to score, more to limit montreal. Did it well last game and montreal was obivously gonna come hard and they played well.

Just like price keeping his team in, Cambell got us the win, well deversed.

Robertson doesn’t look good to me. His hustle and work ethic is undeniable but his skating is so laboured and he struggled to get open looks. Maybe he could generate something but he’s chasing the game.
