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

[Burnie97]

Too freaking dicey at the end.. even a couple whiskeys couldn't calm my heart at the end there.

Settling down now. Jesus.

Great game by kerfoot I thought. Campbell with some massive saves.

Not a pretty win but you need those sometimes to keep going.

 

[weems]

Not the greatest game but winning a greasy game in the playoffs isnt something we've done much of.

Campbell was very good outside of the Suzuki goal and especially in the 3rd period when Montreal was making their push.

Kerfoot was a beast this game and this is starting to become a trend.

Kerfoot, Bogosian, Simmonds, Nylander, Campbell all had strong games.

Caufield was the Habs most dangerous forward and its suprising he didnt play in the first two games.

2-1 series lead after the JT injury feels pretty good.

 

[socko]

That was some awful hockey by the Leafs. Jack Campbell pretty much won that on his own.

 

[leafsfan5]

Never play like that in the third period again

But 2-1 is great!

 

[lovemyleafs]

Win is a win. Though it was a rather ugly one.
But we're not making it deep into the playoffs with this team.
Not without Foligno, Tavares, and regular season Marner.

 

[Beyonder91]

Imagine if we had Campbell as our starter the past 3 playoffs?

 

[Le Cobra]

Campbell stole that game. Price kept the game close. Any other goalies this would be 4-3 Leafs.

 

[LadyLala]

Omg that was intense. Now I have to go find my cats and apologize for all the pacing, cursing, and random yelling.

With a half decent PP this is a blowout win. Habs are awful.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Sat back a bit too much in the third but it was a pretty strong defensive shut down period overall.

Nice road win, a game they have struggled to win before with this group.

Habs spent a lot of energy in that third, let’s hope the Leafs can get the jump on them early tomorrow

 

[Dave92]

Terrible approach to the third but cant complain about a win! Huge block by Holl at the end.

Now to watch the Oilers get swept!

 

[egd27]

Well that was fun.

 

[The Legend]

To all the kids out there, the 3rd period of that playoff game was straight out of the Quinn era.

 

[Cecithepylon]

Campbell 4 goals in 3 games we can win with that

 

[Canada4Gold]

I don't know what that 3rd period was with all the turtling and half ass dump and chasing that seemed more designed to just give the puck away on purpose. But we survived it. Don't do it again please

 

[Menzinger]

Campbell, Nylander, Rielly and Kerfoot were the standouts for me tonight.

A lackluster stretch during the 3rd but the team did well closing it out. Feels good to get that win. Now really gut the Habs chances tomorrow

 

[Cynical]

Does anyone take a beating as much as Kerfoot? Lol this guy seems to always get the worst of every hit.

 

[DarkKnight]

Bottom line is 2-1 Leafs with two key guys out. Ugly but we have the lead and that’s all that matters.

 

[Aashir]

Let’s go
Campbell is the man
Nylander is in playoff form
Marner had a good game, and I think he will be better tmrw
Matthews probably with his worst game in a while, hoping for a bounce back tmrw
Rielly, #1 D don’t trade the guy, no more to say

 

[Coachcorner]

WE DESERVE!!! THUGS VETS!! TWERKIN!!!! RIELLY! NYLYND!!!!! What players!!! JACCCCKI!!! JACCCKI!!! WE ARE COMING TOGETHER PEOPLE! BRING TOGETHER! LIKE NIXON SAID!! I love life :leaf: : :maple leaf: :maple leafs: WE ARE STRONG! FOR LIFE!!!!!!!

 

[htpwn]

I really don't understand that third period. Against any other team in the playoffs, they blow that lead.

But maybe its good for them. They've had it unravel so many times before, sometimes playing well despite the result, that maybe this gives them some confidence going forward.

Other than that... a W is a W.

 

[Alamo Leafer]

Give the shabs props for neutralizing our top line. Need to adjust & please seat Jumbo for rest of the PO, & put Willy on the top PP line plz

 

[Raym11]

scary series without Tavares


gotta say i was a Thornton believer all year, but he needs to sit for more speed

If Montreal had anyone that could score at all we would be in OT right now losing our minds


Gallagher is a faint memory
