Post-Game Talk: Leafs hold on to win a thriller!

[WeWantACup]

Thank God the east sucks. How we are on a three game winning streak without even playing 3 full periods of hockey? It is beyond me. But hey lets take it, usually the bounces go the other way.

 

[Leaf Rocket]

They play an extra two this month and an extra two next month compared to us.

ah coolio lol

 

[keonsbitterness]

You are scaring me

I think his good twin brother hijacked his account.

 

[p.l.f.]

Per reports: Dzuirzynski is going for x-rays at the ACC. A stretcher is waiting outside Senators dressing room. 3hrs

 

[WeWantACup]

Hi guys, just got back from the game. My losing streak is broken! Haha.

Definitely heart attack worthy plus I was sitting with some of the most disgusting creatures in humanity. Hooting and hollering at all the women that walked by, telling the Sick Kids to go "**** themselves" along with idiotic Leaf comments and opinions.

Good that you broke the streak, to bad about the goons

 

[cup67]

You are scaring me

WE WON, THATS WHAT MATTERS.
HAWKS ARE WINNING, NOT ALLTHERE GAMES THEY LOOK GREAT, OR SHOULD OF WON, BUT GOOD TEAMS FIND A WAY

Wow. McLaren really tuned him. I kinda feel bad for the kid but then again, he should have known better.

 

[The Winter Soldier]

Couldn't agree more.

I can't wait til McClement is back on the 4th line. He's awesome in that role and I don't feel scared at all with our 4th line out there when he's centering it.

He's like the dogmaster, keeping the two dogs (Orr, McLaren) on leashes, and of course, releasing them when needed (See Montreal 6-0 drubbing)

Yeah, when Jay is playing with Orr and Mcclaren, the line is very effective setting the tone, they were ok tonight but Steckel is useless, he doesn't help that line one bit.

Orr is actually good defensively and Mcclaren is a pretty good skater on the forecheck, Mcclement fills in the blanks and the line is very good.

Frattin and Kadri have the magic together and Mac is back.

Now hopefully Komarov can spark Grabo, this line worries me, but Komarov and Kule are solid on the wall and in their own zone. It's up to Grabo to elevate this line. the first goal was all Kule tonight, if they could get going, this team has 4 balanced lines.

Can't believe 50% of the season is officially over, I'm not even going to think twice about this team until they play another 12 games, I have a feeling the Leafs will pull a win tomorrow. Next 12 games are like this:
Leafs @ Bruins
Pens @ Leafs
Leafs @ Jets
Pens @ Leafs
Jets @ Leafs
Lightning @ Leafs
Leafs @ Sabres
Bruins @ Leafs
Leafs @ Bruins
Panthers @ Leafs
Hurricanes @ Leafs
Leafs @ Senators

The Leafs freeze when they play Boston. I just hope we don't lose all the games to Boston.......that's 16 points down the tubes. We have to get over the fear of playing the Bruins......
If we can pull 7 wins in the next 12 games I think we have a great chance at the post season.

 

[thecatch22]

I must be missing what Gunnarsson brings to the table.

Fraser and Franson are okay coverage wise but can't skate to save their lives. They get hemmed in there because although usually in the right spot they cannot skate it out and neither is a particularly good passer.

Not feeling the Boston game in Boston on the heels of a back to back...but this was a big win.

Bozak line was much better (they were awful against NJ). They need to be great to beat Boston.

we don't play the bruisn 8 times this season.

 

[beleaf67]

feels good to get 2 pts and to be able to go to work tomorrow.

However like many said, our D was bad the whole game, especially the last 10 minutes. I do agree with others to insert both Komi and Liles tomorrow... (doesn't matter who). It would be healthy for some of this guys to sit in the presser for a game or two. Also I would start Scrivens to give Reimer a well deserved rest and not to ruin his confidence in case there is a blowout. Frattin should wait till Saturday or later for his come back, no reason for rushing him.

The only bad thing was, thanks to the last period I drank the rest of my wife's Sortilege's bottle... The only alcohol I had in basement...

This is why I hate everything regarding Toronto, TSN, Sportsnet, CBC, the Score they never talk about Ottawa & now that the Leafs beat us & MaClaren drops DD they can't stop talking about it. They always seem to pick the losses, the injuries & the embarassing moments to give Ottawa some air time. The last game Ottawa beat TO I barely saw the replays & had to wait quite a while. I imagine Cherry can't wait to show the fight on Saturday.

P.S - MaClaren was very gracious in his post game interview & had a nasty bump on the side of his face with stiches so DD got at least one good one in there

Read this while pretending to cry, funny times.

1ST GAME WAS 1-0 TO BOSTON, STOP BRINGING UP THE PAST, WILSON DAYS.
CARLYLE WILL HAVE THEM READY, 3-1 WIN LEAFS

Agreed. Orr and McLaren have been very effective this year, and McLaren is one of the better waiver pick-ups we've made in recent years.

He's a good skater, even has a couple of goals, and is one of the best fighters too. What a solid acquisition.

As for the second line, we probably won't see much scoring from them, but at least they'll be defensively responsible. Komarov and Kulemin are very good at positioning and board work.

I know the feeling. Went to a bar here in Ottawa to enjoy a game and had a guy try to pick a fight with me because I was a leaf fan.

This 100 percent! Even during the game, we were up 3-0 and Gord Miller wouldn't shut up about the Alfie boos, and questioned if Leaf fans even knew why we booed him. Stupid **** like that is always thrown out there by them as an attempt to put us down.

Getting to the game, everyone knows I love Grabo, but **** me, he was god-awful tonight. All of our D pairings looked pretty horrid today, especially Kostka. He made several terrible pass attempts to Gunnar which just got them hemmed in their own zone.

Also is it just me or is Colin Greening becoming a Leafs killer?

At the ACC? Really? I thought the place was filled out suits, obcourse they can be bores when they sip a few too many.

hockeyinsider is not a legit source correct?

[EDDIE20*]

Now there's a thread on the main board going on about how the Sens will be a powerhouse next year and whatnot. Didn't Melnyk predict that for this season?

 

[EDDIE20*]

I know the feeling. Went to a bar here in Ottawa to enjoy a game and had a guy try to pick a fight with me because I was a leaf fan.

Which bar? I've seen that happen in Ottawa. It's pretty sad really.

I was in the Greens and tonight it was a section full of drunken bro's and bitter middle-aged drunk divorced men who have a bizarre need for bloodlust, sexism, racism, whatever. People.
