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

[Macallan18]

Yeah that works for me

 

[Metroid]

Loliers

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Leafs defended themselves well tonight from the Oilers bullshit.

 

[leafsfan5]

- Marner is unreal man, what a 2-way beast. Absolutely dominated the game in every facet
- Matthews looked engaged and effective, I'll take this version in the playoffs
- JT looked like prime JT tonight
- We need to keep Acciari

 

[kk87]

Marner is simply on another level. For the time being, he's far and away the best player on this team.

Also - I LOOOOOOVE Acciari

 

[LeafGrief]

Terrifically entertaining game tonight. Could tell both teams wanted it badly, but the Leafs are just that much better.

 

[MilkofthePoppy]

I am starting to warm up on the new guys.

 

[DragoGrizzly]

What a fun win. Love games like that where your emotions go all over the place. It’s funny I was thinking Marner had been invisible in the first period and then he decides to become player of the game. I think that would have been even more of a beating with Sammy in net.

 

[notbias]

Thought the score was closer than the actual game... We almost doubled them in ozone time.

 

[authentic]

Marner >>> the refs and McDiver

And Ryan Nugent-Flopkins

 

[Craig Button]

Marner is a wonder.

Matthews showed up tonight. But just imagine how good he could be if he had half of McDavid's intensity.

Imagine if McDavid had Marner’s defensive capabilities

 

[Doublerum1975]

This was all about Mitch he won this game for us

 

[Stephen]

Feels like Marner’s all time highlight reel goal woke the rest of the big guns up and they were able to power through the poor goaltending and remind Edmonton who they really are. Great to see the Big 4 get into an offensive groove and Acciari get rewarded.

Was kinda hoping they’d chase Skinner and we could light up Campbell too. Oh well.

 

[Pi]

Acciari extension TODAY. Before midnight. I love him.

 

[LaPlante94]

That was a good win. I know a lot of people say ZAR should be the odd man out in that bottom 6 but our 4th line just looks much better with him on it.

 

[AvroArrow]

Pure domination, if Murray played like even an AHL goalie that's a 6-0 win, just out classed in every aspect of the game. Marner completely tore them apart, just such a poorly constructed team. Outside of McDavid/Drai that is a borderline AHL team.

Refs were absolute f***ing garbage, I am shocked somehow we still don't have a 5 on 3. Who was it, Desharnais ? Yanked Liljegren down by the neck while we were on the PP, such a dangerous play no call. And then he cross checked Tavares like 3 times, hit Tavares between the legs, no call and then starts crying when JT slashes him back, both guys go off. Refs seriously need to start doing their jobs before guys get serious injuries, lucky there wasn't one tonight.

Overall great effort by everyone, the 11F experiment went pretty well. Marner and Matthews just completely took over that game and dominated. Just imagining how many points this team would have if they played in the Pacific.

 

[Guided by Veseys]

Watched it with the sound off and had to check the player stat sheet to see if Hyman was playing. Thought he must be out injured or something. Invisible

 

[Morbo]

Murray was the only thing the Oilers had going in this one.

 

[glue]

Great job by the group to get this done! inspite of Murray

Acharri is a beast btw!! Imagine he’s the 2nd best player we got with ROR! These guys are going to be playoff warriors

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

That was a good win. I know a lot of people say ZAR should be the odd man out in that bottom 6 but our 4th line just looks much better with him on it.

He gets a boost from playing with Acciari.

 

[Azail]

Marner is amazing. Matthews looked determined tonight.

Oilers PP is a scary thing for sure.

 

[Craig Button]

Nice title
McDavid the Lord of the Turnovers lol.

To be fair he probably thought he was playing for the Leafs

I think he’s still trying to wake up from his Oilers nightmare

 

[3blizzard4]

Let's not forget the mighty Oilers had 11 shots half way through the 2nd.

 

[diceman934]

Great games with our whole team coming up big. Oilers plane will not be able to take of as it will ice up as a result if tears. Starts with their coach up moves through out the whole team.

 

[blue stick]

Enjoyed this win mostly because it will stop my northern Alberta cousins from chirping me constantly. That being said, I saw some energy from the Leafs tonight which I will take to be a good sign.
