Post-Game Talk: Leafs send Dubois and the Jets home crying. Matthews hits 50! Leafs win!

[Aashir]

I Kidd you not this was one of the most satisfying games I’ve watched for a while

We kicked ass
Marner was elite
Matthews was dominant
Willy was going
Tavares destroyed
Rielly was stable
Liljegren looks too good to be true
Dubois was a p***y
Schieffele didn’t exist
Ehlers was good ngl I actually like him
Comrie got lit the f*** up
Pionk didn’t exist

Can’t ask for much more

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

What about Simmonds? I know he has detractors here but he was a hitting machine tonight.

Only thing missing to make this game perfect was Pionk that scumbag plastered on the glass or flat on the ice.

Played like he was on a mission. The entire 4th line was good I thought. Good redemption from all of them.

Gloating over beating the Jets in March in 2022 isn't really better then them tuning it up in the last one guys, show some class. That's how you be better.

Real good call by the ref there late with the double misconducts, took a situation that was going to be stupid for the last 90 seconds to normal. I'm a dinosaur, I love the fighting as much as anyone but that was the right move.

Congratulations Auston. So good. Privilege to watch. Go Leafs Go

Let's be honest, Leafs fans are just like everyone's fans.

It is cringe worthy for all the teams.

Dear lurking jets fans. Your team sucks, the city isn’t much better and there’s years of pain coming for your team that needs a complete rebuild.
Signed, your daddy. TML

 

[Enniskillen]

Oh, and Dubois was manhandled by our mighty giraffe LOL. Why Spezza didn’t fight Pionk? That would have been a cherry on a cake.

 

[BackPassChampions]

What about Simmonds? I know he has detractors here but he was a hitting machine tonight.

Only thing missing to make this game perfect was Pionk that scumbag plastered on the glass or flat on the ice.

My assumption based on the trend:

Leafs are saving their physicality to prevent injuries leading into the playoffs.

 

[Nylanderthal]

Listening to Auston post game with masters talking about feeling the love in his bones from this city when 50 went in sure sounds like a guy who wants to play in a highschool auditorium for a poverty franchise.

 

[DarenX]

Never noticed the chip on Mattys tooth. Is that new or old?

 

[ULF_55]

Engvall-Mikheyev

I don't think they are a secret weapon anymore.

 

[57 Years No Cup]

Tonight, Dubois broke the previous record (also his) for most fights turned down in a single NHL game.

I wonder if the Leafs are going to send DOPS film of that knee on knee he did to Kerfoot?

 

[Squiffy]

Yes, they’re insignificant.
This was just a step in the road until they meet a good team again.

At the game ACC?

 

[Alamo Leafer]

Team win. Awesome game.
Bravo boys

Line 1 ~35xgf%
Line 2 ~65%
Line 3 ~45%
Line 4 ~70%

line 4 our analytics darlings.

 

[Nylanderthal]

It was good enough to win, which is all we needed. Leafs made his job easy but made the stops he had to.

2 and 3 were stinky but the team cleaned up in front of him and he bailed them out from there on when needed. That all any one here wants/expects

 

[leafsfan2point0]

I’m glad Matthews got his first 50 goal against Winnipeg.

 

[mikeyz]

They finally showed up against a mediocre team. I'm happy.

Calling them "mediocre" is being generous.

Grumpy old men! I’d rotate them in and out to keep fresh but I’d put serious consideration to game 1 having cliff spezz simmer as L4

 

[egd27]

Well that was quite enjoyable.

 

[Brown Dog]

I wonder if the Leafs are going to send DOPS film of that knee on knee he did to Kerfoot?

Or the crosscheck to Bunting's face (that went unpenalized)? Why bother??

 

[Squiffy]

Let's be honest, Leafs fans are just like everyone's fans.

It is cringe worthy for all the teams.

Ya, there's just so many of us lol.. as the years tick off I understand the resentment. If I was in my 20's still I'd probably be giving 'er too. Don't mind the ole curmudgeon everyone lol

 

[LeafalCrusader]

Suck it Jets! Suck it long and suck it hard.

 

[kevsh]

Winnipeg was motivated, Toronto really only playing for playoff position so good to see the Leafs really showed up.

Congrats to #34 on the milestone. Next up, breaking Vaive's record then a legit shot at 60 and the Rocket.

 

[ULF_55]

Shout out to Nylander for giving up his shot for the hat-trick and passing to Liljegren.

I think everyone expected the shot.

 

[Gallagbi]

Real good call by the ref there late with the double misconducts, took a situation that was going to be stupid for the last 90 seconds to normal. I'm a dinosaur, I love the fighting as much as anyone but that was the right move.

This. It's the right call and the right understanding of the situation by the ref. If we're going to crap on them for the bad (rightfully so lately), gotta praise the good too.

Suck it Jets! Suck it long and suck it hard.
