Willy had a 5 point night wtf

What a beast!

Love to see it. If Timmins can stay healthy and get back on track, he could be a steal for us.

So satisfying beating those bunch of Neanderthals. Simmonds was no deterrent, in fact, he hurt the team. So glad Keefe benched him after his second penalty. He can’t play on this high octane team…too slow. Love the way this team played and made Calgary pay with the PP. Something different about this team.

 

[Mr_Fun]

Should be investigated.

I don't usually get involved in these reffing disputes as they tend to even out over time, but this one isn't really about a bad call per se. The refs need to explain why it was an even up on Bunting.....then suddenly not?

 

[LeafalCrusader]

Hopefully Simmonds comes out for Engvall. Guys done.

I thought Malgin looked a lot better on the 2nd line than Robertson. Has playmaking ability and gets himself in dangerous scoring positions.

The initial one was clearly on Bunting for being a fake tough guy, than he simply pointed at the Calgary player and said you look handsome tonight

Leafs finding ways to win with or without stellar goaltending. Nice to see the offensive touch being brought back a little more recently.

Murray doing a little Jekyll and Hyde, two bad games out of his last three. Hope this isn't a trend, it has been for him the last five years prior.

He had some really good shifts. He's more comfortable holding onto the puck than Robertson is. A lot more patient.

I'm pulling for him. I mean....not literally pulling any part of my anatomy, but I hope he can not be waived and perhaps be a Holl replacement next season.

Hopefully neither of them see the ice again…ever

We are the best of the best like Eric roberts would say aint nobody karateeing our kids out anymore.

He has 3 points in his last 7 games. He had an assist on that Marner goal because he won the draw. So he is still at a PPG.

He is also over 70% on faceoffs in the last 7 games and has had a lot of "3rd assist" moments, so I am not really worried about a few games without points.

First 21 games: 25 points
Last 7 games: 3 points

That's a 1/4 of the season so far, not just a few games. For $11 million per year I sure hope the 1C is elite at FO's and generating 3rd assists. What do you think the forwards that get paid as much as him do?

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Gotta love that pro-Leafs reffing!

Sutter should tell his team to control their sticks. 7 penalties last night and now 7 more tonight including 3 high-sticks (plus another one missed when Malgin got cut)

 

[stickty111]

Leafs organization’s new OT strategy immediately paying dividends.

Strange but may as well try it. Whether it was sending a message to the big guys or whatever, atleast it's new.

Lmao Keefe

His interviews are getting so much better from the start of the year even if these are just for sarcasm

He just always looks so slow to me, as the season goes on it will probably just get worse

After watching Simmonds tonight I promised not to complain about Engvall and Kerfoot for awhile.

 

[Ciao]

Makes all the sense in the world to start the OT with the checking line (assuming the center is decent at faceoffs). If they gain control of the puck they will change out quick for the scorers, which is easy to do 3v3. If they lose control you already have the right players on the ice to defend.

I think the Leafs are tired of getting scored on right off the bat.

If your best offensive players can't help giving the puck away, then maybe try your best defensive ones.

I kind of like it. Very ballsy move.

Not only that, it worked

5 point willy, jfc what a beast.

Whats he complaining about? Those were good calls. Did he watch our series against Tampa?

Simmonds committed the infraction because he couldn't keep up with the play and had to use his stick instead of his skates.

Time has passed him by.

 

[stickty111]

About time too

The players mostly hate our media... The fans mostly hate our media. Who likes these guys?

I like our media a lot better now that self serving pricks like Cox, Simmons and Kelly have become insignificant and marginalized
