Post-Game Talk: Leafs overcome the refs and steal a win

[Schennanigans]

I didn’t think there was no way their goalie wouldn’t come out to play that. What was he thinking lol. We got lucky here. Nearly robbed us of two points.

 

[Aashir Mallik]

gotta come and say it, they made me eat shit

thought we were dead and the game was over with ~10 minutes left in the game

I guess this is why you pay the big boys, big bucks

Woll wasn't great statistically, but made some big stops.

A win is a win, even if you only play for like 20 minutes of the game

 

[weems]

Knies was a beast in that third period.

 

[BayStBullies]

Leafs 4, Capitals 3, O'Rourke 3 final score.

Thank you John Tavares and some great work from Marner in the third and OT as well to salvage that ugly night.

Tavares breakaway... How we all thought that would end.

 

[mcleex]

I 100% thought they would fold when the refs waived off the Lorentz goal
Great resilience by the team

 

[meefer]

90 percent of that game was dogshit but man did they make the last bit of it fun.

40 + pages of we suck, and we win. Leafland.

 

[likecheese]

Tale of 2 games, team is a roller coaster.

 

[leafsfan5]

That was a gutsy victory wow

 

[Nineteen67]

unique game, great result.

thank god I came back, I left from like around the 11ish minute mark until halfway through the lorentz no goal

would've missed on a VERY entertaining end

 

[mcleex]

Tavares is a lot faster this year, who knew he could skate like that
Must be a contract year

 

[NastyKnies]

Holy f*** my they pulled it off. Palpitation city.

 

[thewave]

Amulet!!!

 

[Obo]

Woll tremendous save on Ovechkin right at the end there.

 

[Stephen]

It's wild that the game should have been a 5-4 regulation win by Toronto, but 3 legitimate goals were scrubbed away by sheer idiocy.

 

[HellasLEAF]

Fully deserved W.

It's crazy how Tavares just continues to score and put up points in spite of how many people across the league and in Leafs nation crap on the guy.

Definitely the most underappreciated goal scorer of his generation, guy's a better scorer than Kessel or Kane (in terms of goals per game production) and will end up as a Top 50 goal scorer of all time.

All the dumbasses here called him cooked when he had a bad flu bug and lost ten pounds. Once he got healthy he's been lights out

 

[TMLeafer]

Offense was painful to watch tbh. Until the third.

Like watching the game tracker for the Detroit Lions last week.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Berube was hot all night.

Leafs win, ovi doesn't score. Refs still suck.
Ok now back to Mario RPG and my Negroni

he has embraced his speed issues much better this year, it is early and time will tell how it goes, but he has shocked the shit out of me with his play

for sure thought we were going to see ~50 points with optimal offenive usage

They did what really good teams do - they did what they needed to in order to win. Two points from the top of the division. It won't be long.
