Post-Game Talk: Leafs lose but earn respect

[Griffin76]

Still can't believe nobody even got in Dubois' or Pionk's face. Both were greasy pieces of shit tonight.

 

[TheShape]

Don’t care about the loss. Loved seeing the team camaraderie there. Bigger picture.

 

[jaric1862]

I don’t care that they lost, I liked what I saw tonight.

 

[GoodNewfieBoy]

Ritchie actually is the most useless human to ever lace them up. He needs to sit

 

[Antropovsky]

Thank you Simmonds - the game was worth watching Maurice blow his top.

 

[GardinerTheForward]

Jets are a trash franchise

Jets are a Thrash franchise

 

[The Apologist]

Jets are a trash franchise

Need a 'Lets go Coyotes' chant in March.

 

[Knies iT]

A .500 team celebrating like that where the brooms at.

Dubois refusing to fight Ritchie, then Stanley turns down Simmonds. Cowards all around.

Watching Clifford pounding Dillon and Simmonds throw extra shots at Stanley made up for it though. The Spezza hit was beautiful on Pionk as was the Bunting headlock on Harkins. Manhandled.

 

[Aashir]

Also disappointing not to see Matthews get mad and start running people like he did last year.

I wanted a boarding call on him… like pionk or Dubois are eating the glass, they should be able to taste the puck that bounced off of it

 

[Bellefour20]

Alright boys, back on the bus

 

[IrishInOntario]

Fun game. You'll lose one of those, in frustrating fashion at times, but you have to love to playoff type energy from both squads.

Looking forward to next matchup!

 

[Dave92]

I have the Sandin video in slow mo.

It's bad.

ACL.

His knee goes backwards a few inches.

Not good

The good news it's unlikely an injury could make him any slower.

 

[BertCorbeau]

No idea how they let Dubois wrangle Matthews for 10 seconds without blowing a whistle. Yet when the Leafs engage with someone they blow it dead right away.

 

[BTP]

dont even care about the loss. we didnt get pushed around.

back to back 3rd string goalie no marner down a man in Sandin mid game.

 

[glue]

Poink better get a suspension, or I’m putting out a contract on Parros.

 

[DarkKnight]

What this clip doesn't show is Sandin in pain on the ice, tries to get up, can't put any weight on his leg, limps off the ice, I hope it's like the Barkov knee he took and he's only out 6-8 weeks, because that could be a season ending knee injury right there

Rarely is that just a minor injury, man.

 

[Teeder Keon]

Most I’ve been into this team since this regime has taken over
This is what a team does !!!!!!!
This is Hockey
Way to go boys !!!!!
So proud to be a Leaf fan again
This is why you need 3-5 tough players in your bottom 6
Not beautiful skaters

 

[Nineteen67]

I bet guys were called out for not responding when Campbell got run over last night.
If more people will play like Bunting, there’s a glimmer of hope for this group.

 

[Future]

Was really hoping Pionk was not going to get up after that hit by Spezza, I cannot lie.

Guy is a certified rat. Couldn’t care less about the score of this game.

 

[Gallagbi]

I agree, but we need an ape like Reeves or guys like him that can really do some damage.

Not cool dude

 

[HamiltonNHL]

Pionk is going to get some games for that.
dirty

 

[18leafsfan18]

Big picture this feels like a win for the team if you know what I mean.

Not gonna win them all, so the ones they lose its nice to see some heart and sticking up for each other.

 

[Beanzy]

What issue did Maurice have with that Clifford fight? He just expected his players to be able to take dirty runs at the Leafs all night and not have to answer the bell? Shitbag franchise.

 

[Eye Test]

Bring up Douglas for the next match up to have a chat with Stanley,

Ritchie needs to get moved. I love hard nosed hockey but he’s just a lazy player.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Why were the officials so worried about protecting Winnipeg Jets players from a normal fight situation from Wayne Simmonds? They can dish it out but they can't dance?

The same reason Brad Meier protected the Bruins all game leading up to Kadri's suspension. He's scum
