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

[The Legend]

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.

Or when his coach decides to play him. Habs fans must be apoplectic.

My boy Willy has been player of the game
I swear for 3 games in a roww.

(I’ll give you a precious like if you can guess what song I ripped/modified that out of).

On the other hand the 3rd was atrocious. I hope Keefe brings that up. It’s probably not too big of a deal against the Habs but playing a 3rd like that can cost you in later rounds against good teams and can be the difference in the series. Gotta straighten that shyt out. Otherwise they played great. Not sure how you can complain about the first 2 periods

Montreal just got prime 'Priced' in the 3rd, way to go Jack!

Willy, Pierre, Kerfoot, Wayne Train up front, Morgan and Bogo down low, thank you (and you too, Holl).

Not a great game, but I'll happily take the win.

 

[Wendelstache]

should never sit on the lead, this will give some fans a heart attack.

 

[TheScandal89]

They got injuries too. They lost Evans, Staal, and Lehkonen tonight. Every team is dealing with injuries.

 

[ViewsFromThe6ix]

Kerfoot is a beast

 

[Mitch Matthews]

This is what we pay Marner $11m for? He should be embarrassed

 

[Gabriel426]

What a Win! Should be a bit more aggressive in the 3rd but they were protecting a lead and did just that. Loved Holl at the end with head first trying to block a shot.

 

[Craig Button]

I seriously hope the plan isn't playing Andersen tomorrow...

Oh God.
You got me stressing

 

[lcs1979]

I posted Cole Cauliflower was being hyped as over rated and the main board and Montreal mods had a mental breakdown. The kid is ok but not the next McDavid.

I didn’t like the collapsing box third period 20 min PK but I’ll take the win. Nice to actually have confidence in a goalie.

 

[BertCorbeau]

One thing this team has lacked is a killer instinct in the past. Tomorrow is a huge opportunity to take commanding control of the series.

 

[HarrisonFord]

My mother in law is a Habs fan and was talking so much shit in the family group chat after game 1. Oddly it’s been crickets since then

 

[TMLeafer]

I'd consider sitting Thornton using the back to back as an excuse. I suppose it depends on Foligno's availability for tomorrow.

 

[Communal Blood]

Bogosian was clutch there at the end.

 

[Advanced stats]

Leafs played a period and won a game.

Should be ripping tomorrow night.

 

[SeaOfBlue]

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

Price is really the only thing keeping these games from becoming Game 2 on a regular basis.

A good goalie can mask a lot of issues. Campbell did that on a few stretches for us in the last 10 minutes of the game. That being said, we've made it really easy for him otherwise so it is nice to see him still awake. Gotta keep him primed for the later stages if we get there

 

[Third Degree Burns]

We can and we will.

 

[egd27]

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

Who's that?

 

[socko]

Leafs decided to take the third period off. Should be well rested for tomorrow's game

Except for the goalie who matters the most.

 

[Cpt Maple Leaf]

Ugly third, but they don't ask how lol. Great 40 minutes, though.

Campbell was awesome.

How did he not get 1st star??

 

[ViewsFromThe6ix]

They got injuries too. They lost Evans, Staal, and Lehkonen tonight. Every team is dealing with injuries.

Embarrassing. None of those guys are JT or Foligno

 

[tmlms13]

They got injuries too. They lost Evans, Staal, and Lehkonen tonight. Every team is dealing with injuries.

And none of them would be in Toronto's top 9

 

[BayStBullies]

This has been the best defensive unit the Leafs have had in years. Willy is a beast. Matthews smiling will be all the Habs fans think about all night.

 

[crump]

Price on Marner there was a game saver, but turns out Campbell was the better goalie at the end. Nice block by Holl on the Shrimpkin.

Had to break out the scotch in the third, looks like they were killing off the period, and they did.

 

[SeenSchenn2]

Let's go!
