Post-Game Talk: Leafs win 2-1

[Mr_Fun]

"Over in 5" is going to look super embarrassing if we complete the comeback. Marchand is a great player but sometimes he really makes himself look bad.

It will be their " we want Florida"

 

[Evilhomer]

I do too, which is disappointing given that he is not a Cup-winning coach in any way, shape or form.

But I can't ever root for the Leafs to lose a playoff game. I can't, even if in the long run it might be theoretically beneficial to do so. I might not like the players but I do like the jersey.

The Florida series will be interesting. I'm not sure this style of play will work for the Leafs against Florida. They will need to open things up more and rely on Woll.

I was gonna mention this is probably the weakest series we've seen Rielly play in awhile, normally he's one of our absolute best players in the playoffs. Even with that said, it's not like he's some liability out there, he's still munching minutes and not giving up much.

For sure. Not his best series... but it's a high bar for him. Literally the only Leaf I'd say has improve his play in the playoffs every year of the Matthews era.

Makes sense though. A team like Boston he's still effective at transition, but nullified a bit more on offense. He'll probably look better if we can get to the 2nd round and play a bit more of an open game against Florida.

Won 110 bucks tonight for the win boys feeling good right now or maybe it's the beer lol

Going to be a doozy Saturday.

Honestly either team is kind of screwed vs Florida in my opinion. They are relentless.

 

[Cleetus]

what a job by our D acquisitions, those guys are mean, and nasty, I love every one of them, total beasts

 

[All Mod Cons]

Our support players are doing exactly what they should be doing and playing as advertised, pretty much all series long.

Kudos has to go to Brad for that.

If they can carry on, and somehow Rielly and the 11mil crew actually play to their ability/cost, I think that is what was envisioned.

The big 5 have to lead the team though.

Woll was spectacular and Willy doing Willy…


GO LEAFS GO

Finish off those pesky Bruins on Saturday.

 

[Racer88]

Didn't fold. Cannot question the commitment in the past two games.

McCabe for captain. One of the best games from a Leafs D that I've seen in recent memory.

Knies was knarly. Beast mode.

BIG Willy winner

Woll was wollunderful!

All unexpected.

PP is a tire fire. Yuck

Agree on Knies but if Matthews comes back it effectively neutralizes Knies because he will be expected to defer to Matthews

Didn’t see the game.‘
how were Marner and Tavares?

JT very engaged physically and good along the boards with a few okay chances.

Mitch had a few chances, but not too much to show.


Both were average and will hopefully have a better game 7 (especially Marner).

 

[crump]

If leafs pull this off missing Matthews and Nylander each for half the series then Woll comes in down 3-1. Woll is going to be a legend.

 

[djdev]

marner REALLY needs to show up man.

Joe's call on the 2nd Willy goal:

here you go lol

 

[Fonzieleaf]

Lube is always a good thing

I've heard the same thing.

 

[Leafs98]

I think now I'll be upset if they loose

 

[sxvnert]

Really liked Gregor tonight.
Save Reaves for next series. We'll need every ounce of him against the Panthers.

 

[Evilhomer]

Agreed, but the Leafs may have a chance if they try to open up their offense. It will just mean that woll will have to be outstanding.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Would be huge to get Matthews and McMann back on Saturday. Fingers crossed.

Florida is overrated. If the Leafs manage to slay the beast it will be like they were shot out of a cannon. We will take Florida down. We got more muscle this year.

 

[Leafsfanperson]

Want some therapy, lurk on the Bruins board and read them calling MacAvoy garbage, trade Pasta to Anaheim, saying Montgomery's last game is Saturday and the team doesn't have it.

Just like we do to our team to our own after every playoff loss.

We have a chance to break them, never looked forward to a game 7 more than this one.

 

[Revolt]

Would be huge to get Matthews and McMann back on Saturday. Fingers crossed.

I don't think you put McMann in for Game 7. Doesn't make sense after being out for so long.

Obviously you put Matthews in but leave the top 2 lines as is. Sit Gregor or Robertson for Matthews.
