Post-Game Talk: Leafs remind the Oilers and their fans who their Papi is

[Judas Tavares]

I find it funny when other teams' fans assume "because they are Toronto" they get all the calls, Bettman rigs it etc... Those fans haven't figured out or maybe they deny we get shit on by the league all time. This isn't like the MLB where the Yankees are favoured. The NHL hates us.

I also love the "Well, I'm not mad cause Tampa gon beat their asses. '67. Nostrils bye bye. Aherrrrrrr." Christ.

Has Matthews thanked Mitch for that Hart trophy yet?

Asking for a friend

On a serious note, wasn't fond of Dirty Murr, maybe it's me but he seemed to have some problem finding his net, hopefully it's just a little rust.

You guys talk pretty nasty about the future Leaf, heck you either want him here or you don't.

My three;

MM, he picked those guys up by the collar and dragged them into the winners circle. He as they say made everybody around him better.

The Captain, strong game both points wise and played with some verve and didn't take any horseshit from anyone.

Willie, in the hunt all night, winning races, winning board battles, had a nice takeaway, strong in his own end, his details were really strong. He's really having a great season.

Nothing has changed, still looking right to the ref after any play that doesn't go his way.

If we're talking about the Kadri goal, it's hilarious.

Oilers fans were going nuts because of the "hold" and even the announcer isn't totally sure what he just witnessed "maybe about the hold" then later "that's just two men battling for a puck"

Like holy crap, all I see is Kadri outplaying McDavid there, the "hold" was a strong arm and oh man for real I can remember how awesome that was, way better than tonight too and tonight was awesome!

Jesus Christ. The Oilers fanbase is an utter disaster. What a thread to read.

So let's hope they read this thread. I have no interest in reading theirs though.

Maybe they'll have the last laugh, I can fully admit that is a real possibility, I doubt any of those guys could do that though. Honestly can't stand their fans, I can't stand Bruins fans either because they are cocky as hell.....but they also have a reason to be.

 

[RunItBackAgain]

Also loving the comments about Desharnais taking Tavares' number... He ****ed around and found out plain and simple. Maybe don't start **** with Tavares cause you're mad you're getting outplayed and try playing hockey better.

 

[therealkoho]

I always thought we were the most over the top bipolar after a loss. Maybe not....lol

Must've been more fun than a barrel full of monkeys around here when the Grease went up 3-1.

I just relaxed and watched the game tonight which made it a very low stress event

I actually had to work until the 3rd period so I didn't read the GDT. I imagine all hell was breaking loose after the 1st.

look at this team dive, they are the joke of the league!

Eh if we show them the stats they'll still make excuses...just in the last three years...

Meanwhile...

And at home it aint much different...Oilers move up to 3 while leafs to 19

 

[Leafblooded]

Boom badabing Oilers goalies f***ing suck

 

[keonsbitterness]

Despite being far from great, Murray made a big save at 3-1. We might not have come back from 4-1.

Bunting finally made a contribution by getting Kane totally off his game. You'd think a veteran like Kane wouldn't fall for that. Guess he's not too bright.

Thought Kampf had an under-the-radar good game.

My pre-game prediction came oh so close:

7-3 Leafs

 

[saffronleaf]

that explosion in the second period is something i'll remember for a long time. my little nephews were going CRAZYY. so was I.

 

[Leaffan1991]

I really hope we sign Acciari to an extension. Such a smart, good all around bottom 6 player.
McCabe was awesome as always.
Marner had an insane game, without him we wouldn't have come from behind.

Boom badabing Oilers goalies f***ing suck

Can't blame Skinner too much tonight tbh, his team got dunked on and gave up countless high danger chances

Murray on the other hand....3 goals on 10 shots and only the McDavid one was a real danger opportunity

 

[93gilmour93]

Also loving the comments about Desharnais taking Tavares' number... He ****ed around and found out plain and simple. Maybe don't start **** with Tavares cause you're mad you're getting outplayed and try playing hockey better.

He was asking for it and the captain let him have it

 

[RunItBackAgain]

Bunting was fined for a wayyyy less egregious dive last season. That should be an easy slap on the wrist for Nuge.

[1specter]

Lol Draisaitl apparently holds the single season record amongst active players for PP goals now. Dude is a total fraud at 5v5

I think the only softy was Nylander’s tying goal. Yes it was a prime chance but it was weak shot that went right through him. Once that went in the Leafs took over.

Making that save may not have won them the game but it would have made a big difference.. that was the moment went Edmonton started to implode

That's true. Even the McDavid one was pretty soft

 

[Torontonian]

Always nice beating little brother in Edmonton. Thought Murray was garbage tonight, all 4 goals are shots I expect a goalie to save.

Thought Toronto played well again tonight. The big boys showed up and the depth played good tonight.

 

[Lightsol]

Someone should do an expose on how they dive for most of their calls. Atrocious.

Bouchard gets a bunch of 10's for that impressive "trip" by Marner in the 3rd... Or was it Ceci?

When you live in that shithole you need all the copium you can get

They don't want to admit they only made a run last year because they were in the shittiest division in hockey and even then needed Calgary to implode in front of them...

 

[ULF_55]

Nylander with another stick lift. Empty net goal.
