Post-Game Talk: Leafs > Tampa plus Refs (Woll and Knies are stars)

[horner]

What we found out tonight
Woll is good
Murray is done as a leaf
McCabe was a steal of a trade
Schenn we have missed you
Knies is good

The great thing is we have these players for next yr

yes luke needs to be signed next yr

 

[Mr_Fun]

Looking like a real PO team. Tampa won't get away with trying to bully us in their arena.

 

[Brown Dog]

Jon Cooper has such a punchable face.

 

[LeafalCrusader]

Clinched home ice for our 3rd round match-up with the Rangers!

Nice reminder McCabe is signed for 2 more seasons at a $2 mill AAV.

How many PPs did we get today?

 

[LeafalCrusader]

We've definitely got much more push back on the team this year. ROR Acciari ZAR Lafferty and Schenn add a missing element. We'll see if it will be enough to go on a run.

 

[Stephen]

Do great things, Knies and make that rink hate you!

 

[Doublerum1975]

Weren’t a few of those just a few seconds though?

Yes

I'm loving the fact that we can weather what they throw at us and more than hold our own, but I also wonder if the Leafs want to dial down the extra curriculars and let Tampa own goal themselves physically.

Great win without Mathews and marner
will solid
ror and JT solid
knies good

lets roll leafs

 

[meefer]

While he didn't play that much tonight, I'm still excited about seeing the development and future success of Conor Timmins. While he will rightfully be benched when the playoffs begin, his calmness with the puck was evident to me tonight, even when playing a new position. I think he will prove to be one of the Dube's better acquisitions.

I missed the game and late to the party because, life.

Can someone direct me to, or provide, the best Readers Digest version? Did Leafs as a team stand their ground and battle hard physically? Did Knies look comfortable? Etc. Ty

Those punks got bullied around, got 8 powerplays and still couldn't beat our team without our most valuable players.

Nice that we show some pushback and won't get bullied by these thugs. But we can't lower ourselves to their level and suddenly become a scrapping team after every whistle. It's not in our DNA, and we can't get sucked in to their thugery. Don't take any crap, and smother them with depth.

We can do this.

Also, think maybe after a 47 save game Woll is in their heads a bit after they got goalied? Luvit!

 

[Leafsfan74]

Yes

Sounds like McCabe and Schenn were sending a message. Dubas made this a.VERY different team at the deadline and this was, what, 70% of what the lineup will be.for Game 1?

For the first time really in his tenure I can honestly say that no playoff team would want to face the Leafs, that includes the Bruins btw.

 

[bax]

The 6 on 4 at the end was so predictable.

The playoffs are going to be a shit show.

You could see it coming from a mile away. Brutal!

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

45 saves from Samsonov last night, 46 saves from Woll tonight, absolutely incredible back to back performances.

The PK was also on point tonight 8/8 absolutely incredible.

Now don't do that again let's not make Samsonov make 55 saves against the Rangers Thursday.
