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

[Leaffan1991]

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

 

[Jacquestrapless]

Really would like Simmonds to be in but ya can't take out ZAR after that.

I also doubt this series has any more blowout games, so the shenanigans probably stop here.

 

[Ianturnedbull]

Much better team when the Bunting Circus isn't around.

 

[Gabriel426]

ROR, Acciari, Lafferty and ZAR were really pieces that were missing for the past few seasons since Leo, Bozak and JVR left. Not saying Leo, Bozak and JVR played like those four but they all knew how to play and what to do in the playoffs. Soupy, and Engvall might be faster but they can't do anything else.
I know JT got 3 goals but the way he played/skated the whole game was amazing, he took charge of every shift he was on and marched on.
Calle was also underrated but he hounded the puck or puck carrier all night, which made life easier for MM and AM.

I really think TB is hurting esp on the defensive end, and if Hedman cant play next game, continue to attack Serg and he will crack.

Lastly, good the see the boys scored another one on Vas in the 3rd. That will help in the series.

No need to mention who played well, as the whole team was fantastic.

Pretty sure AM will be on the score sheet in Tampa and have a feeling those two goals will both be GWGs.

I hope Perry didn't have plans on retiring to Ontario after his playing days!

say what you want I wish we had signed Perry instead f***ing Jumbo. Perry is exactly the player we need in our bottom 6

 

[Buds17]

That's more like it! Just needed another goal from Marner and an assist from Rielly. Good to have Tavares and Knies notch a couple of playoff firsts (hat trick and game respectively).

 

[Divine]

I genuinely cannot believe the Leafs paid less for RoR at 25% cap hit AND Acciari than Tampa did for Jeannot

 

[BertCorbeau]

I get this line of thinking but some players are just built differently.

The game was out of hand but Schenn wasn't going to let Jeannot punk him.

I actually don't mind it .. Schenn said no initially but Jeannot kept going. It's the kind of thing the Leafs have shied away from, but I like that he stood up for himself and handed it well. Basically didn't let Jeannot push him around. That can send a message to your own team.

 

[BayStBullies]

Anyone have a clip of Maroon crosschecking the back of Gio's head into the ice, well after the whistle? I feel like that deserves to go viral, as that would be a series suspension if it were a Leaf.

 

[Ports]

Cooper acting like he’s Fred Shero.

 

[PromisedLand]

Early Eid Mubarak to everyone

Great game

is fasting done or is there one more to go on Friday? Or is Friday Eid?

If Hedman plays next game, it's probably on one leg.

I agree but we didn't so f*** him.

Perry over Simmonds .. man that would have made a difference

I hate having to play against Perry these last few playoffs, he's a POS .. but he's exactly what you need on your bottom line.

 

[egd27]

well that was a very nice response.

Hey stranger.

 

[GoonieFace]

John can't play 5on5? Right? Where's those losers at?

Relax dude, it’s one game. He has been awful lately 5 v 5. Anyhow, great win. Had to take advantage of Tampa being down 2 top dmen

 

[fahad203]

We follow the Saudi Arabia schedule. We are doing it tomorrow
Well my wife does. I am drunk right now

 

[Mopar]

Our depth on line 1-3 looking deadly. Tampa's D looking completely out of sorts being down two top 4 guys. We should be going into Tampa looking to take both games. Grab this thing by the throat.

What a hockey game! So many positives.

LOL @ the fans that snag platinum seats and sit on their phones all night.

Go Leafs Go

Atta boy.

You do know that Perry went to the Finals three years in a row and he lost three years in a row.

 

[notbias]

He was like 50th in the league at 5v5.. I wouldn't say awful.

 

[ACC1224]

Imagine having these seats and playing Farmville all night

I’ve sat there, terrible seats. HP owns the whole row.

 

[fahad203]

That game is the new standard

We shouldn't expect anything less

We play like that, we are in the finals

 

[Leafs1991]

To anyone who stated after the game on Tuesday, that the Leafs were done. I hope you didn't watch the game tonight. That would have been quite embarrassing for you.

 

[bax]

Knies is gonna be a player! Great game.
