Post-Game Talk: Leafs Show Guts in Comeback Win!

[Leafsfan74]

Kallgren ftw. Ice in his veins tonight, even before the shoout and four on three.

Spezza and Kerfoot, two pros get the shootout goals. Fitting.

This was a huge win with a depleted and tired lineup. Credit where it's due.

P.S. Matthews has to become greedy again.

 

[Teeder Keon]

And for all you a holes again that only came here when it was 3-1
You can all phuqqqqqqqqqqqque




OFF

 

[Mugzy97]

Didn’t deserve to win that game, but I’ll take it

 

[Maplebeasts]

GDT thread when they were down 3-1 was awful to read.

Same playoff Leafs team here right here, down 3-1 to come back and take the W.

Seriously. 109 points, 4th best record in the NHL and people are like "we're screwed in the playoffs" etc. So annoying.

 

[Jojalu]

You could tell it was a meaningless game for the Caps, but my gosh, they put a scare into me.

It was hardly meaningless for Caps. They are 1 point behind Pitt.

 

[Leafs at Knight]

Lol, the GDT was downright embarrassing to read through. Glad we got 2 points.

 

[Albus Dumbledore]

That was a fun ass shootout. Kallgren was a brick wall there for a moment. My god what a great comeback win.

 

[Jojalu]

Thank God no shootout in playoffs

I would smash my TV

 

[Legion34]

You could tell it was a meaningless game for the Caps, but my gosh, they put a scare into me.

It wasn’t at all? They are trying to avoid Florida.

 

[MSZ]

Kallgren had a very solid game

Worried about Matthews though, he didn't look like his usual self. We need him in top form against TB

Matthews actually has two quiet pts tonight. I just found that out.

 

[HamiltonNHL]

Kallgren our new shootout specialist?

Definitely better than Campbell

 

[TheRumble]

The Doomers last night were talking about how an OT loss vs the Panthers was a sign that this team should be broken up in the off season.

Tonight, they will downplay this game because they won in the shootout instead of regulation.

If we beat Detroit by too many goals, they're gonna complain that we scored too many goals and that's not how you win in the playoffs.

If we beat Boston, they're gonna complain that Boston didn't care enough to try on the last game. If we lose to Boston, it's a preview of what will happen in the playoffs.

 

[Buds17]

I was a concerned for a bit that only Ilya would make the scoresheet. My next worry was that the game would end with that too many men on the ice penalty. A point away from clinching home ice in that first round series makes for a good end result here.

 

[MSZ]

Spezza should never scratch this playoffs

Never, he is all heart in the playoffs.

 

[crump]

After that last game Kallgren really needed that boost. What a display in the SO. Thought Leafs looked dead at 3-1, but he didn't let the backbreaker in. Mikheyev with a great goal for his 20th. Gutsy comeback. Shame about OV though.

 

[BayStBullies]

Good win for a dead ass tired team. Big finish for Kallgren. I do hope Matthews gets back into it and Nylander gets off the top line to allow for multiple threats.

 

[TheGreatOne11]

Kallgren appearing in front of the boys for the first time since the Tampa fiasco before the game.

 

[Alamo Leafer]

Awesome comeback, awesome

Goalposts moved to suit narrative

 

[wingman75]

Didn't feel like it was in the cards. Depth cam e through in the end, which I guess based on the game was the only way it was going to happen.

Thought Kerfoot had a rough game, nice for him to get the SO winner. And good on Kallgren, he was very good all game.

As woeful as our Leafs were this game, Caps were no better.

Home ice crisis averted? Hope so.

1-1-1 roadtrip, works for me.

 

[HamiltonNHL]

@34

You always leave when your overly negative attitude turns out not to be true

 

[All Mod Cons]

It wasn’t at all? They are trying to avoid Florida.

I don't think they care about Florida or home ice advantage or winning. It's all pretty meaningless in truth.

 

[BayStBullies]

Well, that was a win we probably didn't deserve, but badly needed to stave off Tampa.

Looked like we were going to fold, but battled back to come back. Love to see it.

Really hope we pick it up going into the playoffs.

Also Kallgren our new shootout specialist?

Unfortunately Tampa is now awake. Keefe blowing that game poked the bear.

Quite frankly, that was one of the most annoying too many men I've seen this year. Boston does that shit ALL THE f***ING TIME.

 

[mikeyz]

I haven't like Kallgren but he was great tonight.

I agree 100%.
