Post-Game Talk: Leafs Stomp Tampa Bay 5-2 (Really 6-2)

[Pebble live]

Someone needs to remind Tanev he isn’t wearing goalie pads. He is a beast.

He's such a stabilizing piece back there. I know blocking shots is part of that but the team can't afford to lose him long term. I genuinely want to see him block shots a little less lol

We're going to wear down opposing defences this season

Crowd was very noticeable tonight too.

Stolarz was stellar, team was playing great hockey, oh almost forgot: f.ck dubas and keefe.

That's the problem with those kind of stats

They're not perfect obviously, but I think it was pretty obvious that the biggest difference in this game was goaltending.

Most of our high danger chances went in and few of theirs did. We played well, but we definitely didn't destroy them.

I'm not trying to be all doom and gloom, I'm just saying that there is still room for improvement and we have to tidy up a few things if we want to win when our goalies dont stand on their head.

Honestly the crowd is rarely an issue when I watch live, so maybe it’s the broadcast? Today specifically they also had a reason to cheer but I mean generally

I think part of it is definitely the broadcast. I've been to a couple of games before where I saw people lamenting the crowd on the forums, but I felt it was pretty lively in-person.

Yeah if you can't score you accumulate tries.

There is no try, only do.

In the playoffs, sure.

In the regular season with this team? Both are important... there's a reason why the President's trophy doesn't automatically make you the Stanley Cup favourite.

OEL-McCabe is just a really reliable awesome pairing. No flashy BS or nonsense, just good straight forward hockey.

 

[Mike4Leafs4ever]

I agree. But I can’t stand not being able to watch the game delayed. Haven’t watched a live game in years on tv. Watching commercials nearly killed me

If your willing to wait until the game is over, Amazon uploads the game and you can fast forward past the commercials

I love that stolarz isn’t afraid to fight back. I hope he two hands Marchand at some point

Fiery goalie is best goalie

Agreed...helps hes like 6'6 245 lol

Really good game. We didn't sit back like we usually would.

Stolarz was amazing. Holmberg was robbed.

Can more games be aired on Prime? I liked the broadcast and quality.

In the future when amazon owns everything.

Video quality was great but the game crew? Yuck.
