Post-Game Talk: Leafs lose but earn respect

[Azazel]

When WPG comes to town can we start a laines better chant everytime dubois touches the puck?

 

[supermann_98]

Nothing better than beating the Leafs...

The Laine vs Matthews thing (LOL!) plus clips like these are a nice reminder of how obsessed Winnipeg is with Toronto

Winnipeg is basically Brampton, except it's -20 to -35 every day in the winter. No wonder they get excited beating us they're jealous that they live in the armpit of Canada

Never doubt that every other team is obsessed with the leafs:

I think the saddest part is that your Captain and team leader just played in his 1000th NHL game, yet this is who you choose? For what, exactly? The obsession IS real, how sad.

 

[The Shadow]

What respect did they earn ?

 

[TheBeastCoast]

We need to call Douglas up for the next game against them. Just have be 6'9 and mean all night long. Maybe even introduce himself to donkey boy.

Lol rent free

I clocked out when we were down 3 nothing I'm missing the premise on the label as well. I'm trying to read some prior posts and back track but haven't come to any conclusions yet lol

I would like to see Matthews stick up for himself a little more in a situation like that. The other guy is also a skill player and the same size as you. Give it right back, twice as hard. See how he likes it.

Agreed but I doubt that’s ever going to happen

 

[AvroArrow]

Just play them the same way they played against us next time. Totally legal plays according to the refs, hit the goalie in the head and go on knee on knee, duck fights and celly.

 

[justashadowof]

Woll isnt an invicible.

Woll isn't particularly good at the AHL level. We're still getting more than we should expect from him.

Any team can be tough. I'm happy to see a little bit of crazy with this team. Spezza lead the way. Simmonds followed.

Old time hockey. Eddie Shore.

Piece of shit org plays like piece of shit they are. Shocked. Toxic org from lying, assault defending pos GM, f***head coach, and trash players. Fans some of the worst in the league.

Meier needs to be fired, yesterday. Either that or Simmonds needs to go after him as well next time. I hate the NHL so f***ing much.

 

[fahad203]

Last year I absolutely trashed Simmonds but man am I loving what he's bringing

NHL saved Pionks career by giving Simmonds a 10 min which was a joke

Good for him to go after. It's Winnpeg, they should be bitter

 

[Leaffan1991]

Douglas would be nice just for that game. Becomes the fourth line centre. A line of Clifford, Douglas, Simmonds would probably be terrifying to play against

A good old accidently slap shot around head is not out of reach

I made the mistake of clicking on the main boards thread and was immediately reminded of why I took such a long break from this website.

Anything better than beating the Leafs? How about a Stanley Cup?

 

[BertCorbeau]

Next game against the jets forget 2 points just f*** em up

Keefe handled this situation great. Also illustrates how the refs botched this game and let it get out of hand.

 

[Morgs]

This was their Stanley Cup.

 

[Griffin76]

Was it Cherry that said the rats were taking over the game. Game was a prime example. Refs let the Jets get away with the cheap stuff and then punished the Leafs for deciding they needed to police the situation themselves.

And in defense of Matthews he may be as tall and heavy as Dubois but Dubois is much stronger and has always been in on the rough stuff. Plus I don't want Matthews punching anybody. One of the other guys should've just dove and tackled Dubois off him.

Yeah clip gave a high reading on the cringescaleometer...

Next time will be interesting , hope we are better prepared.

 

[Contenderorpretender]

The officiating was horrible. That being said, spezza going after pionk was great. Would have loved to see dubois get his too. Wasn't it pionk that went after humans knee too. Repeat offender going after people's knees is just sick

One of the Jets posters saying Sandin was soft for not defending himself after having his knee blown out might be the most HF thing I have ever seen. That fanbase is a couple rungs down on the evolutionary scale.
