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

[Leafs1991]

Nah.. don't get too upset about one loss, nor too excited about one win. This is a long battle, and there is always ups and downs. It was a great win, and a fun game to watch tonight. Plenty of bright spots... on to the next game, and hopefully we can come out hard again, and take the lead of the series.

Agreed except some fans here can't seem to have that mindset

 

[egd27]

I think that's pretty obvious. He knows exactly what he's doing and you can't deny his success.

Some seem to think the loss has him "rattled"

 

[Smif]

If Hedman comes back it's obviosuly massive for TB, although i doubt he would be any where near 100%. Target him when ever he is on the ice.

Also does anyone know what happened with Sergachev? Left with about 5 minutes left in the game and i don't think he came back

Would love to know what happened to Hedman and Sergachev.

Nothing happened to Serg he got ejected after trying to start stuff late in the game

Sounds like groin for Hedman

Unconfirmed tho?

Didn't really like either goal by Samsonov, over committed early when he just needed to follow a puck and not over play it. Biggest wild card and hasn't proven anything through 2. I get the "out play the opposition for 55 minutes and lose from 1 decent chance" vibes from him - but that might be just from cheering for the Leafs in general.

Maybe not but Sammy Is the guy. He's going to do it.

Yup playoff record isn't good for him but after the season he had im pretty confident in him.

Can't be any worse then Andy or Campbell... yup famous last words... but I'll hang my hat on it.

Leafs don't really have another choice. Unless it goes real south he's in.

Serg is a bitch that's what happened

 

[Antropovsky]

Round of applause for Dubas for the guys he brought in at the deadline.

ROR
Acciari
McCabe
Schenn
Lafferty

These guys are true playoff guys, our lineup would've been completely beat up today without these guys

Don't forget Jarnkrok... That guys effort was through the roof, he was flying out there on the forecheck right from puck drop. No fear either.

Best thing with Sammy is his confidence m he shook off that loss like it was nothing. Apparently the next day after Game 1 he just kept his phone off to block out external distractions

 

[Menzinger]

Imo the Bolts guys looked rattled by the end of the game. Maroons penalty box antics were a sign of losing his focus

If Hedman does infact play game 3, we need to chip pucks into his corner from the start, forecheck and really finish every check.

We can not allow him to have an easy game.

TB is a entirely different looking team when he's not playing or not at 100%.

Worth noting Hedman has played injured in the playoffs in the past - which i actually think means we likely won't see him if it's so serious he wasn't able to play earlier.

 

[TorMapleJays]

See new Blue Jays Bullpen

Turtleneck?

You know you almost start to like the guy......nah!

Both Perry and Maroon would be welcome on my team......... however............. They are not.

 

[Gallagbi]

Unconfirmed tho?

Correct, just whats being speculated in the media that ive listened to

 

[Gary Nylund]

Very cool that JT and Rielly lit up the scoreboard after all the grief they've taken here lately. I've read so many times that signing JT was a moronic move by Dubas that "doomed" the Leafs. And Rielly, when he was out we played good D so of course many people were saying that we'd be a better team without him. Enjoy eating that crow people. Nice vindication for Keefe as well, he was getting crapped on for the lineup, JT and Nylander don't work together so why is he playing them together was the narrative. So of course they get 4 goals and 5 points between them, not bad at all.

Also sweet was the play of Matt Knies. No points but I thought he played a very good game and I can't help but wonder, if he looks that good in his first NHL playoff game, how good might he look after another 5-6 games? Assuming we get past TB, this kid might help out in a very big way in the near future!

Turtleneck?

No, Jays are basically encouraging fans to get into it with the opposing team's bullpen now. Yellow Sweater Guy following their lead.

(the jays in right field were chanting this in the series opener because the pitcher had a turtleneck on.

I have zero issues with yellow hoodie besides his choice or attire. Seems like everyone around him was laughing too.... whhhhat a game to be at.

Great game by the boys but when is Keefe gonna give up on this GIo Holl pairing. They have been awful, Holl especially. Throw Liljegren in there for a game and see what the kid can do. He is a -3 with zero points and from what I heard been on the ice for 6 of 9 TB goals.

At this point we've invested so much development into Holl over the past few years, it's better to keep him in then throw a green Liljegren in.

If you go to a game with a game plan of chirping penalty box guys Yellow Sweater is perfect attire to go viral and get your 15 minutes, just look at us talking about it. Or the Miami Marlins jersey guy

No it’s not, if the other player is the superior player then you play him. Keefe has a bias and that caused the team to loose the past few years. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.

Holl has clearly been terrible yet we keep throwing him out there. If Liljegren made as many boneheaded plays as he did his but would be stapled to the bench or he’d be in the press box.

Question;

If I still have an erection 24 hours after that game, is it like Viagra and I have to call my doctor?
