Post-Game Talk: Leafs win 2-1 OT

[wingman75]

These last two games from Barabanov has changed my opinion of him. Not sure what has changed, but he is effective... good even.

Vesey and the Gazelle can eff off... don't need them on this team. They bring practically nothing.

Any chance Mikheyev needs Lasik?

 

[saffronleaf]

Nylander trades on hold for now...

Lol if only. Now it'll be -- his value is high, trade him while we can!

 

[Fogelhund]

Props to Rittich. He played great tonight, really kept them in this.

Barabanov and Mikheyev really showed some great moments. If only they could score.
Great game by Hutch, far better than expected

thanks for the goals Willy.

please be ok Matty.

 

[Albus Dumbledore]

Softlander you beauty.

Matthews didn't get the cleanest points tonight but he earned them by persevering and playing well between the two games.

 

[HogTown06]

Vesey though... Is it possible there's no one else who would be more of an impact in his place?

Nylander, Rielly, Hyman, Barabanov, Kerfoot were great for most of the game

Marner and Matthews and JT worked hard but didn't get much puck luck tonight

Overall well deserved win. Should have been 5-1 but will take the 2 points and let rittch go back to being a nobody

LOL Rittich was the best player in that game. Nylander gets the glory but Rittich was pretty much Calgary's entire team for two straight games.

They can back into things if Rittich stays hot.

 

[MattySnipes]

Feels great man.

Calgary native William Nylander. Huge 2 points. So pumped.

Boys won me a game on the eve of my bday! Gonna be a great way to ring it in. Enjoy your night y'all.

 

[Crosscrease14]

Text that uncle who hates Nylander and ask what they thought of the game

 

[Critical13]

Really satisfying to see Rittich tantrum at the end.

 

[The Examiner]

It wasn’t pretty but they deserved to win that.

Hutch did well.

I hope they got it all out of their system because they will need their offense to return against the Oilers Saturday.

Rittich can now go back to sucking.

 

[mallory67]

Never in doubt.

 

[Sniper99]

God damn it feels good beating Calgary.

 

[Tlo1]

Willy is a game breaker!!!!

 

[The Hanging Jowl]

Kudos to Keefe for sending Willie out late in the 3rd and in OT. He could've benched him again after Nylander losing his man on Calgary's goal but I think he managed it well and we were all rewarded. The Leafs friggin' deserved that game.

 

[frizzer1]

I think Tavares was started to win the draw and then GTFO

 

[Stephen]

Yeah I think we will all be eagerly waiting for some news on the Matthews wrist situation.

 

[Jozay]

I think Matthews is probably not in next game, not good when you switch JT and Nylander so Matty doesn't have to take faceoffs. I hope I'm wrong because he's the engine of this team.

Yeah his wrist is probably f***ed up.

Huge downer for SN who was going to go hard with the Matthews vs McDavid stuff

 

[Aashir]

Why the heck did Marner look so disgusted when Nylander scored? LOL

He didn’t know nylander didn’t like Czech players

 

[Dekes For Days]

Rittich was amazing, but huge push to snatch that win. Massive goals by Willy! Love to see that! Also got to acknowledge Hutchinson, who played great. Hope Matthews is okay; he looked to be hurting bad. We need some good injury luck for once.

 

[weems]

Good to see Nylander score two big goals.

I thought that was Barabanovs best game.

Tavares again rough during certain stretchs but also had some strong shifts.

Hutch was solid.

 

[therealkoho]

Perimeter player Nylander with the goal.

after the Mangia goal, he needed to get serious

and he did

 

[The Beyonder]

Matty quietly has a 2 point night with only 1 healthy wrist.

 

[ToneDog]

Willie with a good game. Needs to happen more often.

Nah tonight was more than enough for his fan club to shit on his critics. Now do it consistently for the next 10 games.

 

[Stephen]

I think Tavares was started to win the draw and then GTFO

Super risky scenario because if the puck is lost it's not getting recovered. He's such a limited player right now.
