Post-Game Talk: Leafs win 2-1

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

I wasn't that familiar with McCabe's game but he's more fluid and reliable with the puck than I had anticipated.

Can skate, moves the puck well, takes the body when needed and seems very intense.

He's a lot like a worse version of Muzzin, but not all that much worse. For 2 million a year he's a complete steal

I don’t find him that comparable to Muzzin. Ideally you have both but McCabe brings a D we needed badly. The jury is out on Lafferty for me

We all back on the bandwagon now?

Dubas and Keefe don't need to be fired tonight?

 

[TheGreatOne11]

It's awesome seeing Schenn in the blue and white. He requested the #2 as well.

Yep, I'd imagine theres an extra fire in his belly this year, and only we would get that.

Back to the team that drafted him for a cup run, I know most don't expect much from him but personally I think Luke puts it all together for us, and gives us exactly what we need from him during this run. I don't have him as #7 on my depth chart at all.

They’re good till the next loss.

Dubas safe until tomorrow. Keefe has to bring it Saturday.

I don’t wanna brag but I’d be happy to assist in either role if needed. DM me

Mitch Marner is a pleasure to watch play. So much talent.

 

[Mr_Fun]

Woll was very steady back there. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt on that 2rd "goal" as he was likely screened and didn't see the shot.

The defense were lights out there tonight. Let's be honest; it was more the defense not giving a lot of chances than Woll goalie'ing the other team.

I think it was an underrated maneuver to play 7 dmen tonight. Keefe got a good look at what he's got back there.

 

[Voodoo Child]

Keep the pressure on, though I hoped they’d have waxed the Oilers like they usually do last night. Hopefully they’re nice and pissed off next week at home.

Tampa is .774 at home and .517 on the road, for those keeping track. The Leafs are .758 and .586 respectively.

 

[Enniskillen]

McCabe and Schenn look calm and poised and make us tougher. Dubas did a good job trading for them.

He is the acquisition I’m most excited for tbh

 

[Cleetus]

not to over react here about 1 game, but I think Woll is a legitimate vezina Candidate!

 

[jaric1862]

Missed the game…How did the new guys look? (Not just Schenn and Gustafsson)

 

[Jacquestrapless]

Weren't the flames gauging their future on this game? Maybe they can send Toffoli and Tanev

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

With Acciari, Lafferty, McCabe, and Schenn, the asshole factor on our team has increased significantly. Schenn was bullying Kadri, McCabe took a few runs, and Acciari will always finish his checks. Bunting now has solid backup.

 

[WillNy29]

ROR's strong two way game is becoming more noticeable

everytime he's on the ice and the puck goes back to our zone he's the first man back; somehow he just appears in the right defensive position above the puck its amazing to watch

 

[Teeder Keon]

 

[BertCorbeau]

He's a lot like a worse version of Muzzin, but not all that much worse. For 2 million a year he's a complete steal

I actually think his puck movement and hands are a lot smoother than Muzzin

 

[DarkKnight]

 

[meefer]

I expect Kyle to make one more move, for a winger who will slot in beside Tavares and Nylander or Marner. Who it will be is anybody's guess, Dubes taken me by surprise so far this year.

However, would a third line of Kerfoot/O'Rielly/Jarnkrok disappoint anyone. There's some speed, some skill, some competitiveness, and all are defensively responsible.

It may be a good counter line to some of the larger/slower/more physical lines we might face come the playoffs.

 

[saffronleaf]

solid road game win

bit boring but got the win that's what matters

marner was unreal.

woll had a couple shaky moments but you gotta respect that kind of effort from your backup on a back to back.

 

[DarkKnight]

Lol.

I was thinking earlier what if we get Konecny if his injury isn't too serious. Him and Bunting on a line together would be hilarious/ a nightmare for other teams.

 

[BertCorbeau]

I'm getting more comfortable with Woll in net. He was calm and steady tonight.

 

[34]

Woll is calm in net. No swimming. He maybe the better option than Murray going forward.
