Post-Game Talk: Leafs tie Season Series with Senators

[yubbers]

we all need some Bowen

 

[Rare Jewel]

Gonna bathe in the tears of Sen fans

Anyone got a funny Stutzle diving picture? I need a new FB PROFILE pic lol

Will this do?

 

[The Masters]

3-0

How sweet it is

These guys are taking on Berube’s demenour. Calm and killers.

Matthews stepped up beauty goal.
SB back to back clutch plays in OT.


Keep it going boys


Finish them (mortal kombat voice)

 

[Duffman955]

Rielly and Benoit got shit on all season

Came to play redemption in post season

 

[hfman]

The leafs are playing a conservative game. I don’t get why people are having such a hard time understanding this. Matthews literally spoke about it. The players are more comfortable playing this way. They have bought in completely to Berube’s philosophy of minimizing turn overs. When the leafs start playing that race track hockey they look horrendous and it usually results in goals for the opposition.

We might loosen up against Florida, but to beat the sens this is the formula. It’s not about looking pretty with passing plays so your entertainment value is heightened. It’s about the leafs playing a way that will be conducive to success. They will adjust against Florida but for Ottawa the run and gun style is not needed to beat Ottawa.

It’s not an unknown reason, Toronto wants the wins like this.

lol I remember in the Montreal series some fans were already discussing round 2 when we were up 3-1.

yeah.

 

[Ianturnedbull]

f*** the Sens, f*** Tkachuk, and f*** you!

 

[wingman75]

Maybe benoit should be getting some touches in 3 on 3 OT next season.

Alright, settle down over there... let's not get carried away...

 

[QJo]

That's the way they have played all year.

They have played with a tonne of heqrt and passion.

If the game is tied or they have a one goal lead they dominate play.

Get up 2 or more, they sit back and let Ottawa play with the puck on the outside to kill clock.

You realise for back to back games the Leafs have given up a total of 5 shots.

Impossible to do with out passion or heart and team comittment.

They're in the business of promoting their broadcast. The more they build up Ottawa the more they make it look like something crazy might happen. They'll tone that down when quality of play sells itself I bet.

 

[TopCheeseShotta]

I am elite!!!!

Leafs too...

E specially
L eading

T hree - 0,
E verybodddyyyyy!!!!

 

[Zybalto]

Stolarz 11TH!! win in a row.

Hasek never had more than 10....just sayin.

 

[Jojalu]

Sanderson might be the best player on that team. He is legit f***ing good. Way better than Stutzle imo. Better than Brady too I think.

Sanderaon has been excellent.

Stutzle is better than I thought, but not as good as Sanderson. Tkachuk is behind both

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

On this dive by Stuzle he got a 10 from the American, a 10 from the Canadian, and an 8.5 from the Russian. Tough judges those Ruskies.

 

[wingman75]

They only bothered to show up for about 20 total minutes tonight...still got it done lol

What? The Sens outplayed the Leafs for the first 10, as expected. Then got gifted a 5-on-3. Then got gifted their second goal.

Leafs controlled the second and third... and OT.

This is what winning Leafs hockey looks like...

 

[DopeyFish]

f*** the Sens, f*** Tkachuk, and f*** you!

what did i do this time

 

[PromisedLand]

Who was the home team again?

 

[Alamo Leafer]

I f****** missed the entire overtime. I was outside having a smoke. I didn't think it was going to start that quick. LOL

Best reason to quit ma man

 

[francis246]

lol I remember in the Montreal series some fans were already discussing round 2 when we were up 3-1.

yeah.

Nothing is over till it’s over, but this series is a bit different than that one. 1. Montreal took game 1, so even though they were down there was a belief they could win.

2. Ottawa is literally not getting shots through

3. Carey price who is a complete X factor is not in net for Ottawa. It’s Linus Ullmark whose numbers in the playoffs are pretty garbage.

My head says leafs in 5, my heart says this is over on Saturday. We’ll probably see the best version of the leafs on Saturday come out guns blazing.

 

[yubbers]

Based on the fan shots tonight..... 80% of Ottawa men shape their eyebrows.

SMH

 

[stats1]

Stolarz numbers the last 11 games are insane!!! 11-0, 1.53 GAA and a .944 SV% WTF lol I’m having a hard time comprehending how elite that is

 

[The Hanging Jowl]

2001 Cross OT winner in game 3

2025 Benny OT winner in game 3

So I'm 100% confident Matthews touched the puck before it went in on the goal they awarded to Knies. I'm about 75% sure I see the puck redirected off Matthews in these replays. I actually think he got a hattrick tonight.

 

[wingman75]

Sanderaon has been excellent.

Stutzle is better than I thought, but not as good as Sanderson. Tkachuk is behind both

Brady has that, dunno what to call it, but just has another undefined quality. Good hockey player. Tough, smart, willing to go anywhere and do anything. Fearless.

That only takes you so far though. He doesn't have enough around him, yet.

 

[Tak7]

Turns out its more hype than heart, huh?

 

[Zonk]

TOI for defense tonight:

J. McCabe	21:48
M. Rielly	20:11
C. Tanev	19:59
S. Benoit	19:30
B. Carlo	19:15
O. Ekman-Larsson	18:07

 

[fahad203]

Stolarz numbers the last 11 games are insane!!! 11-0, 1.53 GAA and a .944 SV% WTF lol I’m having a hard time comprehending how elite that is

Also helps that Leafs d didn't give up a single shot for like 15 mins 3rd period
Sure Tkachuk got the goal, more to do with Stollie being cold

But Stollie has been insane

Like I said after game 1, let's just move on to the second round already. I'm bored with this series. Ottawa is not appropriate competition for this Leafs team.
