Post-Game Talk: Leafs win 2-1

[diehardleafsfan9878]

Anybody know where the Bruins are staying tonight?

I need to test the hotel's fire alarm for safety reasons

That's a felony my brotha

 

[Rob Brown]

Mail it in Friday, boys.

The Joe Bowen call

The Joe Bowen call

Hahaha what a call.

Knies with a beautiful smooth pass there. Takes a lot of confidence then to do that. Would have been easy to just put it deep but he made a good natural read and put it perfectly for Nylander

 

[Evilhomer]

I’ve watched quite a few of their games and I wouldn’t call them a power house. They are good, they have some talent, but they have relied on goaltending all year. I expect they’ll win on Saturday night because there won’t any missed calls.

Boston will not win on Saturday. They are done.

Holmberg playing with a lot of spice these last two games. High energy, decent skill level, solid in contact.

 

[The Masters]

Joseph Brick Woll

- models his game of Carey Price
- took over for thatcher demko at boston college he played 3 years there
- is 6 foot 4 and a tank in net

this leafs club the way they played in this series, especially last 2 game, personally remembered me Pittsburgh penguins of 2015-2016.

Pittsburgh didn't won cup because of their high paid offensive foward, they won it because they play like a real team, they was extremely hard to play against, raised their gamr defensively in playoff to protect the front of the net with a rookie goale came out of nowhere and feeling like he's unbeatable with ( Murray). Both team didn't had best d group but was it was a group who was working hard.

also fighting on the bench with kessel and malkin

 

[All Mod Cons]

It should be absolutely no surprise to anyone that our best dmen are McCabe, Boosh, Benoit and Edmundson.

Boston will not win on Saturday. They are done.

If the penalties even up and the refs don’t miss blatant infractions, they’ll have the advantage.

 

[Mess]

Really proud the way this team, my team is rallying around their young goaltender, while missing their Rocket Richard scorer, and still dominating and dictating the play while playing punishing physical hockey.

This is the style of play that would see Dougie Gilmour and Wendel Clark chomping at the bit to get out there and contribute.

 

[Bellzy]

JOHNNY f***ING TORONTO GETS THE GAME WINNER IN OT TOMORROW. Book it. Cause it’s going to ot.

 

[Jojalu]

It should be absolutely no surprise to anyone that our best dmen are McCabe, Boosh, Benoit and Edmundson.

Rielly has been low key really good.

Eating a tonne of minutes and he has only been on the ice for 2 goals against.

Not his usual self racking up points, but he did pick up 2 last night.

He and Boosh have been great together

 

[Evilhomer]

If the penalties even up and the refs don’t miss blatant infractions, they’ll have the advantage.

There will be very few power plays. Leafs will score early in the first and Boston won't be able to climb back

Great game. Never heard the vault anywhere near that loud before. Felt like they finished every check and contested every puck. It was like a playoff game.

 

[DraftSchmaft]

Lil is like the employee at amusement parks that scans your tickets to allow admission.

His current promotion is that anyone in a Bruins jersey gets admission to our zone for free.

The Joe Bowen call

Anyone who posts the Bowen call of moments like this is forever in my good graces.

Too much carrot juice last night. My head hurts.

Bruins had a lot of shot attempts but nothing made it to the net though. Corsi doesn't care about that. You're not going to score many goals with 1 shot for half the game.

Dougie was in the house last night and he popped the roof off.

This only applies if skill doesn't work.

If skill works hard, they win all the time

Bruins are playing better than most people think imo. They've had more dangerous chances and after the 1st period, the shots end up being pretty close which mean they're piling much more periods 2 and 3.

Yea it was a pretty even game imo despite the early shot totals. There is no reason to think Boston couldn't have pulled that one out on a different night with different bounces. Full credit to the Leafs for sticking to the plan and grinding it out but until Nylander's 2nd it was very much anyone's game.
