It would have been an easy to let off in the pressure, take a less direct route and get the change. Instead he put on pressure and didn't allow the easy exit and it forces the play into more pressure. It's a nice play by him and Kerfoot leading to the goal
This core has had 5 post-seasons to figure it out, and they haven't... if the light switch hasn't gone on yet, I doubt it ever will. This is why it's imperative our depth players step up in the post season, because Lord knows our core players will fall to pieces per usual.

Coming away from the week with 6/8pts. After sleepwalking thru Monday vs LA is pretty darn good.
Burn the tapes and move on.

Was at the game tonight. Holy crap, for 7900 people, the building was LOUD mainly in the third period.
Despite it being a fantastic game to watch live, obviously from a Leafs POV it was a rather lacklustre effort.
Woll got the W, so won’t judge harshly, but he was flopping and having some trouble tracking the puck

This is what I thought I heard.
Chris Cuthbert was calling the play by play ...
Then suddenly from the ice we heard in a most loudest way, "F--- OFF mother ffff," the ending part was cut off, guess someone hit the mute button quickly.
I heard F off, MF, too. I could see how it sounded like F off Muzzin, but likely wasn't the case.
Next week we should start Kallgren against the islanders. Another 1st career start to hopefully motivate the leafs.

Not the prettiest performance I've ever seen but we took 2points and Buffalo got nothing so good enough
Happy for Woll getting a win in his first NHL game
The depth and defense came through with some much needed scoring
We gutsed out a win in a game we could easily have lost
I'll take it

Snatching a regulation win in Buffalo with 12 seconds left after the grungy Sabres and their grungy fans were riding high on their big comeback?? I'd call that the very definition of satisfying.

Not even a grungy loser point. Ya it’s a good feeling.

I’ve felt Kerfoot has been great for the most part this season and had another fantastic game. It was cool to hear Keefe throwing him some props post game. He in fact went out of his way to say his line was the best by a long shot…he’s not wrong.

Definitely an ugly win but that would have been an uglier loss.
Not the prettiest effort, but there are No pictures on a scorecard.
nice road win, keep that ball rolling

If the game plan tonight was do the bare minimum to win, they nailed it.

Forever apparently...
All jokes aside....we won it was atrocious but we won.
Biggest thing that irked me was aside from the usual, it felt like the boys were being bounced around as if they were hitting reflective walls in a pinball machine or something.

Good win. 3 in 4. Battling hard 8-1 in last 9. It's unrealistic all 8 will be pretty. Good teams win the ugly ones too. There is nothing wrong with tonights game. Take it.
Keefe is a dumbass for benching Nylander though. You never bench any of your core 4. Marner, Matthews, Tavares..none of them. Game breakers can strike at any time. Pastrnak looks like complete trash a lot of the time then has 3 points quicker than you can blink. Panarin is the same and he beat us once already after playing like a scrub for 60 minutes. We got lucky tonight with it not burning us. Over a larger sample you will lose more than you win benching game breakers.

You taking this to a Woll other level.
BS, you bench a player whenever a message needs to be sent, it doesn't matter whom you are! That being said, I don't get why Nylander was scratched however, he wasn't playing that poorly, and if it was for telling Muzzin where to go, thats not sufficient enough reason. Are we sure it's not some sort of undisclosed injury?
