Post-Game Talk: Leafs thrash Lightning 7-2 | Captain Johnny with the Hatty!

[notbias]

I know Holl gets a lot of hate, but I thought he had a good game on the PK, showed his worth there, and at 5v5 was okay.

If they deploy the D like they did tonight (even ride the clear top 3 more, assuming we didn't cause it was a blow out), I think we are more than fine.

That’s a given bro, just taking it as it comes, it’s a nice trend. Long long long way too go for sure.

No doubt bro, and we will be here together for the ride.

They're arguing that Jeannot won. I'm betting his hand doesn't agree.

Your teammates respect the Hell out of you , win or lose , it’s the toughest shiiiite to do ….being there no matter what for your teammates and team …. There’s no greater respect ….

I really liked his forechecking and the way he can make plays offensively.

Let's hope Keefe doesn't galaxy brain him out of the lineup

 

[TorMapleJays]

coop said he'd take Point, Cirrelli and Paul over anyone in the league including Tavaras Matthews and O'Reilly

That's just insane bullshit.

He’s on retainer. Better call Saul…

He gelled perfectly with ROR and Acciari, that line excited the hell out of me. What an add it could be, skill, grit, down low monstrosity. ROR was fantastic too.

You animal!

I am guessing fireplace consists of “Brace yourself Brenda”.

What I am trying to say the goal is to win 15 more games this playoffs and nothing is more important than that.

Never hurts to stop and smell the roses once in awhile.

Mitch might just take this whole series over.

 

[keonsbitterness]

Teeder can tell us about the 1918 game.

Not letting the wife sleep tonight!!

Canasta again?

Exactly, win or lose. You stood up and fought for your team instead of backing down. Thats something we had not seen the past few years.

Hey Jennifer! My mom called, she wants her early 90's blouse back

 

[LeafalCrusader]

Guess we don't need to convert Rielly to left wing?

 

[DarkKnight]

Why these calls aren’t on tv is bullshit personified. He’s a treasure.

Thought he was great... he reminds me of Matthews with a little less skill and a little more aggressiveness. He has a great stick though, good hands in tight, and uses his body to guard the puck or separate people from it... he is really good

 

[Gabriel426]

Well a few of those assists were from the LW spot. Lol

 

[PromisedLand]

I love Samsonov.

“We’re not….how you say….pu^^^ boys here”

Once he can get more leash and more confidence, his physicality should really elevate his game.

I hope he can keep it up into a very daunting Game 3.

 

[SprDaVE]

ZAR and Lafferty are fine but yeah... I think Knies is just flat out better.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Crazy thing is Matthews still hasn’t potted one yet. Lightning better watch out when he unleashes.

coop said he'd take Point, Cirrelli and Paul over anyone in the league including Tavaras Matthews and O'Reilly

That's just insane bullshit.

As much as I like the Leafs 3 guys.... I'll take McDavid, Draisaitl and a Pylon if we are picking Center 3-packs. Not now but 10 years ago same with Sid, Gino and a pylon

 

[alliuk12]

Dude was the reason why Tampa got nothing on their PP
blocked few good shots, got into a fight

Really not sure what else you want from him

I watch a few screwups and give aways that he made so I’ll stick to what i said

100%

Imagine just for a second , if we went into this series without the additions we made .. we would be blown out physically , emotionally and mentally .. we would have turtled and hidden in this 3rd and our amazing Elites would be 1 foot shorter , look at the difference in our top tier players and the way they play when we push back and have the horses and heart to do it .
Night and day

Win or lose , we have our hearts and souls back as a team and fan base
It’s about time !

[francis246]

Only change I’d make is Justin holl out, Liljegren or Gustafsson in

 

[saffronleaf]

ok that was f***ing amazing
