Post-Game Talk: Leafs slap Boston a lot harder than Will Smith slapped Chris Rock. 6-4 Win.

[TheDoldrums]

Lindholm apart from the opening play in the 1st where Mrazek robbed him, looked invisible all night.

I noticed him giving the Leafs rush chances quite a bit. Even gave us a 2 on 0 that Marner fumbled

 

[Tak7]

You guys want Foligno back? Guy is legit a corpse. What’s even more frustrating is Bruce won’t sit him… ever.

That said, better team won tonight. Leafs are dangerous. Enjoy, folks. You have a scary team there offensively.

The Amazon Leafs documentary showed how good Foligno was in the room, so I'm guessing Cassidy keeps him for that reason as well.

Sounds like he's coming out of the lineup moving forward though.

See you in the playoffs, perhaps. Good luck rest of the way.

 

[Tarmore]

I don't know why I thought Craig Simpson would be good or at least kind of impartial... He's terrible and obviously hates the Leafs.

Do some research on Simpson's draft year the letter he sent the Leafs

 

[Tak7]

That's where I want to pull my hair out. He was a drop off even from that Columbus series. He only played decent against us after that even with Columbus in 2020 he was trash

I can't believe our pro scouts didnt' catch him being that bad

Think the injuries have caught up to him in a hurry.

 

[1specter]

You guys should add a thumbs down button. I got a bad feeling about the Jets game.

I hope Jack sits that one out. It could get real nasty and I don't want him getting run

 

[Hurt]

I remember the story. Led to Wendel, didn't it?

yeah that was frustrating

someone shoot the damn puck on breakaways

overpassing (like papi the night before) drives me nuts lol

 

[kevsh]

Wasn't even close to almost cost them.

I think you were watching a different game: Boston got close enough to pull their goalie at the end.

For sure, there’s no doubt he’s well liked… however it reeks of David Backes. Aging power forward with next to nothing left in the tank.

Other than drop the gloves a few times this year he’s done absolutely nothing to warrant playing time. It’s at the point where I get happy with a shot or two on net.

Cheers. I enjoy the friendly banter back and forth. Hopefully the injuries aren’t serious and the Leafs are healthy down the stretch and into the post season.

Slapp Happy

Hall is a Biatch coward. Should be suspended for that punch from behind
Costly night injury wise. Holl bad luck getting hit by that puck. Hope he's ok.
Great physial win otherwise, Bruins dirty as usual. 4th line was money tonight.

If that was a leaf doing the same in the playoffs against Boston. They would be suspended 100 P.

Kadri would get suspended for the rest of the season

 

[ktownhockey]

Kadri would get suspended for the rest of the season

and the next. Chara was fine though suckering JT lol. It's unreal. I don't care that Kadri got the boot BUT Chara should have got 2 MIN. It's such a joke and people wonder why we leafs fans are crazy lol It's hard to watch.

Thing about Nick is that he is a great guy and father off the ice - his daughter Milana was sick (heart defect) and they did many visits/surgeries at Children's Hospital in Boston where they took care of his family and he gave back with donations and I think that was a driving reason for him to go sign with the B's.

Unfortunately he's clearly not the same player he was in Columbus, and yes, it reminds me of Backes' decline, which is too bad, but all these power forwards expire real quick as they get up there into their 30's.

Yep. I read that before and it makes total sense, honestly. I’ve always liked Figgy, even back to his Ottawa days. Great character guy, but just super cooked at this stage. Not much left in the tank, and that $3.8M contract is rough.

I thought he’d be decent in a 4th line role, but even there he’s struggling to keep up to the play. He’s having a rough go.

Anyways, I’ll venture back to the Bruins board and cry a bit. Cheers, folks.

 

[Rude Dog]

well that was easy. bruins are full of fake tough guy posers. Would love to face them in the playoffs.

 

[Rob Brown]

Holy shit the main boards is a cesspool tonight. People either saying the punch on Bush was deserved or he was faking it. The anti-Leafs derangement syndrome knows no bounds.

The NHL YouTube channel has the NESN highlight package for anyone interested

Havent got around to reading what the mouth breathers figure.. maybe ill pass this time

 

[ktownhockey]

And 4 million of Bruins cap space for the next few years.

Add 3 Million to Mike Rielly and that is 7 or more of pure............. you can finish my statement. lol What were they thinking.

 

[IrishInOntario]

McAvoy with his fake tough guy act in the 3rd trying to run everybody. He levelled JT in their end in the 3rd which was clear interference no call as JT hadn't touched the puck.

Lindholm apart from the opening play in the 1st where Mrazek robbed him, looked invisible all night.

And when you look at what is behind those two guys:

Carlo
Grzelcyk
Clifton
Forbort

..for them to say their D is a wash with ours, is laughable.

Hope they don't take Clifton out next time we see them and put Mike Reilly in, or we'll be in real trouble lol

I didn't think McAvoy was trying to be "fake tough" at all. I thought he played pretty well, got a couple points and made some clean, competitive, physical plays.

I'd love a guy who played that sound both ways, as an insulator for an offensively minded guy like Rielly. Dude is just a good hockey player.

 

[capfit9]

the game was a lot closer than it appears, they hit at least 3 posts

 

[Duffman955]

the game was a lot closer than it appears, they hit at least 3 posts

All their goals were fluke deflections off Brodie

 

[Stephen]

Giordano still has it. He's definitely the next vet who is signing for cheap (2-2.5M ish)

If he can stay and play at a high level for another 2 years, it would turn a good trade into an incredible trade.

Everyone is going to learn from him too.

 

[Stephen]

the game was a lot closer than it appears, they hit at least 3 posts

We also beat them with a rookie goalie with less than half a dozen games and 4 defensemen for half the game.
