Were not fighting to barely get in the playoffs, had a good fight in the third after kulikov single handily blew the game.
After years of suckin just gettin into the playoffs is nice.

Honestly i think you guys play better without Reilly, like when he got suspended a bit ago

Wings jsut beat the bolts in regulation

Things getting real "exciting" in the east. If only Leafs didn't shit the bed against the bruins in the season series.....

Terrific first two periods, loved 4th line. If making it a close game got Matthews another goal I’m fine.

But seriously, I’ve seen this before recently, against the Canes and Oilers, and it’s understandable. Missing Rielly, Edmundson, Jarnkrok, and Marner puts us at a huge disadvantage. Too much Brodie and Giordano. Holmberg st centre between two rookies a liability defensively.

Third line allowed two goals in the third and was justifiably benched the last 5 minutes. PP needs to be fixed. Timmins cannot play in the playoffs against Florida or Boston.

Reilly in the playoffs is a total Animal, he was the best leafs player in the playoffs last year

It's weird how bipolar Samsonov can be during the course of the same game.

I really can't stand Keefe.

I'll give the team a partial pass with their current injuries. Good win.

Keefe almost managed to lose this one in the 3rd period with unnecessary lineup tinkering and playing the 4th line to defend the lead 6 on 5.

However, the way we dominated the first 2 periods should provide a confidence boost to the players against Florida moving forward.

They were all over Florida for two. They should be able to build off of that.

Keefe's double standards for veterans vs. young players and lack of adjustments are honestly infuriating. How the hell do you justify giving Brodie 23 minutes and the kid line under 10 in that game? Like what? What kind of room temperature IQ do you need to think putting the fourth line out in the last 2 minutes in that situation was a good idea? Never mind that we are going on week 5 of the powerplay being a liability.

Imagine making your entire life hating a hockey team.

You have to have some faith in your 4th line. He has to balance his ice time, and the Leafs had a 2 goal lead so there was some room for error.

Keefe is a good coach. Yes, he overworked Brodie, but Leafs won the game.

The only downfall is that FLA now feels confident they can come back against these Leafs. Florida has NO injuries. Repeat, none. Keefe didn't just want to win the game he wanted to send a message.

With all due respect, Florida isn't too concerned when Robertson is on the ice and he had a decent game. They, like many bullies, don't like to be hit back.

A healthy Leafs team should ice a heavier and slightly meaner team. They need to.

Who's coming out of the Lineup when Marner and Jarnkrok comes back?

Probably Robertson and either Dewar or Holmberg. The thing that could keep Dewar in the line up is some strong PK work, otherwise, he's most likely out.

Dewar is 100% in. He's more of a lock over holmberg.

My guess Robertson + Reaves most likely.
