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

[al secord]

I guess the crackdown on crosschecks didn't last long

 

[Duffman955]

What did he say

I thought it was funny.

He's talking about the leafsDefense depth if Holl and Boosh out.

We gonna call up Carlo Coliacavo

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Those fluke bounces made up for the 4 posts they had .. so it all kinda evened out

To an extent maybe, but I don't think Boston really deserved 4 goals

 

[ECanuck]

I'm betting Kadri gets the death sentence after today's game

Why?

 

[IPS]

The Bruins are so dirty. We prevailed through a hard hitting game. This is what the playoffs will be like

I wouldn't even call this a very physical game. It's just typical Bruins pulling all of their dirty underhanded garbage. The game we played against Florida was honestly more physical.

 

[Leafsfan74]

Liljegren was impressive, if this is his ceiling I'd take it and run.

My gosh, what a f***ing stud.

He seems to have taken real steps since only a handful of games with Gio. I was unsure of his upside, but he seems on par with Sandin and become more sound than I imagined he would this quickly.

 

[Kurtz]

Quality win, beating those inbreds in their own barn.

 

[Future]

Bruins fans are the worst sports fans on the planet. That includes some of the premier league fans in UK.

Crowd was booing a concussed Lyubushkin as he struggled off the ice after getting Bertuzzi’d.

Pathetic fanbase.

 

[IrishInOntario]

Nice win. We were clearly the better team tonight, but still some things that worry me.

1). Goaltending is an obvious problem.

2). I dodn't like the way the team played with the lead, surrendering 3 straight down the stretch.

3). We were on the losing end of just about every hit. If I saw one more Leaf, or their stick lying on the ice after contact, I was about to scream.

4). It was embarrassing that Hall wasn't made to answer for the sucker punch on Lyubushkin. If I'm Keefe, he's answering to Douglas or Simmonds in the next matchup, whether he likes it, or not.

I'd like to see Toronto dress Douglas, Simmonds and company in the next matchup, and just have them run around making their guys pay a little bit. Don't really care Bouton the outcome if the next game, but their captain and best players need to get run a few times, take a few knees, etc. I'd be ok with Douglas "losing and edge" and going right through Swayman. Just have to keep that team honest, ahead of a potential playoff matchup with them.

Nice win. Can't stand the Bruins, so I'll take any win the Leafs get against them!

I hope your not wearing sweatpants

 

[Lightsol]

Both the Bolts and Panthers came back and won their games from behind. This division is ridiculous.

Bolts only needed three power play goals to do it, too. Including a power play in OVERTIME.

 

[The Apologist]

Correct me if I'm wrong but if all goes well we could officially clinch on Monday no?
Any combination of Leaf wins and BJ losses that equal 11 pts would lock us in?

 

[crump]

Hall has to be suspended for that sucker punch., sucks were down 2 D but great win.
Costly for injuries.
Team played tough and well. Thought we initiated a lot of the hitting. Man, someone shit in Engvall's cornflakes, he was in their face all night.
4th line was great tonight. Love Blackwell, doesn't let up, goes full bore all game.

 

[HellasLEAF]

I'm hot about this Hall sucker punch. Leafs lost a key player if concussed.

So cheap. Needs suspension and his name taken for next game.

 

[Brown Dog]

Is "Foligno" Italian for "invisible?"

 

[glue]

@Stephen regarding this
“Kallgren was good. Leafs were down on the back end and played very well in the third.”

100% you’re right. Super proud of the leafs, great win with 4 d man most of the game and Mrazek injured. What a win! Kallgren played mostly well, I just didn’t like the 3rd or 4th goal, those were frustrating But you’re right. Cheers

 

[Gallagbi]

Hall should be suspended for 2 games for sucker punching Lyub.

It'll be interesting to see what happens there. Tough to see a suspension given the way the league handles us and Boston, but a blindside punch to an unsuspecting player that knocks him out of the game is tough to ignore. Should be an easy 2-4 games

 

[Leafsfan74]

I wouldn't even call this a very physical game. It's just typical Bruins pulling all of their dirty underhanded garbage. The game we played against Florida was honestly more physical.

They have a couple of hitters but guys like Marchand aren't tough, they are alley dwellers, who look to catch another off guard. He's a pest and a good player, but not tough or intimidating.

 

[Clark4Ever]

Fantastic team effort. We beat them at their own game in their own barn.

Hopefully all the injuries are relatively minor. Put a damper on a great night.

 

[Confucius]

Great game we were easily the better team, congrats on #49 Matty.

 

[Leaf Rocket]

Why?

Even when its not his fault...It's his fault.

 

[LeafChief]

Remember when the league was cracking down on cross checks? That lasted a long time.

 

[Sypher04]

We were on the losing end of just about every hit. If I saw one more Leaf, or their stick lying on the ice after contact, I was about to scream.

Not even remotely true

The only thing I'll say is the goals were mostly on kallgren. Second was a fluke. Also yeah mo f***ed that play for the fourth goal but we were playing with 4 dmen all night. Also tough to be aggresive when you've lost two dmen and your goalie. The dirty bruins had all the advantages and still couldn't do jack shit.

 

[aingefan]

Great game. Surprised Bruins did not get ugly in the 3rd.

Leafs smart to play dump n chase and not get goaded in.
