Post-Game Talk: Leafs win 2-1 in OT

[Jojalu]

I'm glad they won but really shouldn't havebeeen even close.
I still feel the Leafs will fold the minute and team presents a real physical presence...

Have you watched any games this year?

They have shown more bite and willingness to battle and pushback this year than any of the previous 5 years

 

[Confucius]

They actually got an OT win, I must be dreaming.

I believe we lead the league in ot wins and this was our 9th

 

[Fogelhund]

Would like to see the Goals Saved Above Expected. Bet it is not as high as we expect.

Goals saved above expected 4.66

Also that McMann penalty decision was awful. Shouldn’t have been more than two minutes at most.

 

[BTP]

Not even my little kids could jynx this game.

I told them they could stay awake until the game was done.

Therefore, they wanted it to last forever.

In OT they were singing out songs they made up. "Shootout the Rednosed Reindeer!"

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

The Carolina game was overall a good effort so that is 3 in a row.

They were also very good in Columbus. Pushed the pace and didn't allow much

Unfortunately, every Columbus chance went in the net.

 

[LeafalCrusader]

Benoit is ahead of Gio on the depth chart imo. Guys amazing out there.

 

[MoreMogilny]

God we needed those two points

Credit to Dostal. Leafs hammered him with shots and he nearly did it to us

 

[wingman75]

Treliving needs to re-sign Benoit long term.

3-5 years in the 1-1.5 M range

The fuk were the Ducks thinking letting him walk? Doubt he was looking for big dollars. Great find for us.

Okay, yea that is pretty high then. So, does that mean the Leafs should have had 6 goals rounding down?

 

[NinjaKick]

the last two games have been stellar. if we play like this consistently... we'll go far.

remind them when they're teens and want to sleep in

How the turntables

Feel like it’s been a while, and the last few OT’s have been losses courtesy Samsonov

Yeah I have. The major players on this team are still the same lightweights of the last 5 years.
You think Mitch Marner Nylander, Tavares or Auston Mathews are going to play "tough" when everything is on the line? Mathews won't even defend himself in a fight fffs.

It was a well played win. Save the Debbie Downer routine for another day.

6'4" 205 Lb physical shut down d-man at only 25 years old. Great depth signing by Treliving along with Gregor, Jones and Lagesson.

Bertuzzi took some time but is looking like the guy we all hated in Detroit. Domi has exceeded expectations (personally speaking).

Good work by Treliving in his limited time as GM this summer. Almost gives him the pass for the Klingberg and Reaves signings.

 

[PromisedLand]

LMAO HFBOARDS IS SALTY LEAFS WON!!

 

[notdoneyet]

Solid game defensively again. If they continue to play like this then suddenly all the goaltending problems will miraculously disappear.

They can play that game when they know their goalie can make a save. When Samsonov was in we had to play a style of trying to limit shots because any shot could be a goal

 

[wingman75]

I do not believe you have watched much, or are just seeing what you want. The team overall has a different bite without a doubt. Last night we battled probably the toughest team in the league. And tonight we were the instigators in almost all situations, that never happened under Dubie.

[stickty111]

How this team has played against weak teams, getting 50 shots didn't matter if you lost. Needed to find a way to win the game so can take the posotives now. Dominating win. Thats 4 games they have played well now in a row

Jesus do those Anaheim boys owe that goaltender a beer

 

[PromisedLand]

Would love to have their goalie, damn! I didn't think we we're gonna score a goal!

He's been absolute pure trash the entire season. he just put in the vezina performance tonight

Maybe it's because I've been watching these chumps since 1975 and they have let me down every year since. I've seen many a better team than the current one fail.

Yes, this is easily the best consistent stretch of the season. We aren't giving up much at all and we're really supporting one another. It's a great sign because it's really just now you start to see what you have as a team.
