Post-Game Talk: Leafs win 2-1 in the SO -- Double tap

[Evilhomer]

Yeah and had a glorious chance to win this late in regulation and not let a divisional foe get a point

Just no killer instinct

Just not serious enough.

 

[ACC1224]

Were they though? First period was awful, Leafs were good in the 2nd. 3rd was pretty even? Both teams had chances.

It was a pretty hard fought game. Fights, hits, emotions.

Sometimes you gotta grind one out and they did, right? We don't care if they win or lose if there's an effort?

That seems like a reasonable summary of the game.

Gregor should get a good bump in ice time he deserves it

Swap him with Marner

 

[theTTC]

I don’t even have to pick on Marner tonight. He showed us his season in a nut shell with his shoot out performance.
I’m literally lmao

There's some sort of personal karma being played out in front of our very eyes. Seriously.

 

[keonsbitterness]

Nice win and all, but we all know Lafferty's six point night would have made it a blowout.

 

[horner]

Gregor > Marner

Gregor ,> mathews

 

[Smif]

Just finished, lmao, too funny.

 

[PromisedLand]

LMAO

 

[shaner8989]

This is what having a real goalie can do

Be a shit team and still win

Yup

 

[Clark4Ever]

Woll won that game for us.

The big guns were quiet again. Matthews and Marner in particular need to wake the f-ck up.

 

[Stephen]

Florida needs to do some soul searching about why they “dominate teams” but get goalied like they did tonight apparently. Something something perimeter play, lazy, etc.

You're being facetious but Florida getting goalied doesn't really look like Toronto getting goalied. They break it down just fine, drive to the net just fine, Woll was great but they were just chopping it up around the crease.

 

[Ho Lee Mackinaw]

The Habs have 3, if that makes you feel better.

Any bad news about Montreal is good news.

 

[OVO16]

Good physical response tonight too. Didn't take any shit

He was also wearing a cage

 

[Rude Dog]

This team man. Maybe they can show some will to win with a 4 minute power play to end the 3rd against a team they are chasing and put them out last year. But hell yeah they won.

Thank you Woll. Thank you Gregor. That is all.

That can happen when a player forces his way into signing a contract that he can't live up to...

 

[horner]

Just not serious enough.

Swap him with Marner

Sqap him with Mathew's

I thought some of Floridas passes were sloppy, in general their execution was poor

They got to the areas they wanted, high slot, hashmark area but just poorly aimed shots. Also a lot of their cross seam or even passes into the slot were off, bounced over sticks or into awkward spots

One thing I’ll give credit is that we blocked a decent amount of shots, it felt like we got in the way a couple of times of dangerous opportunities

 

[Smif]

What's the over under on how many "wait, we won?" we'll see tomorrow??

Already seen about 5, I think.

 

[Lightsol]

The common denominator is our overpaid and overrated core 4.

And Rielly is NOT a true #1 D. He has NO shot from the point AT ALL.

Imo, Rielly is truly emerging as an elite #1.

I disagree with that. He’s been all around elite this year. You don’t have to pot 20 a year to be a #1. Our pp sucks because Matthews Marner nylander Tavares can’t shoot to save their life rn. Rielly is a passing dman, nothing wrong with that
