Post-Game Talk: Leafs win 3-0 with a huge effort

[Mr_Fun]

Big win. Might come at a price. Hopefully knies is just a precautionary situation.

 

[GalacticaActual]

Seriously where the hell did Grebenkin come from. What a find.

 

[SprDaVE]

Leafs played a very well rounded gutsy game. The young players played well and the depth grinders made some good plays. Lorentz, Dewar, Benoit and Woll for me stood out. Lorentz had 4-5 big blocks. Holmberg also played one of his better games. Greb played with a lot of passion and Minten was solid.

Knies injured is a big blow though.

 

[DarkKnight]

First place in the Atlantic.

Great, gritty effort. Kids looked fantastic! Benoit and Lorentz came to play. Woll finding his form, great first saves, D did the rest.

Hope Knies was just precaution.

 

[Tie Domi Esquire]

41-20-2 without the German.

 

[al secord]

Robertson isn't safe enough to put out there anymore. Yikes.

 

[OVO16]

Gutsy gritty win. One underrated player I loved all night was Connor Dewar. Fast, tenacious and gritty. Generated more scoring chances in one game than Kampf did all year

Also, yeah Nick Robertson is cooked

 

[PROUD PAPA]

I sure will be surprised if I see a more satisfying regular season win this season.
Absolutely f*cking beautiful.
Oh Minten and Grebs, yeah baby!

Robertson watching Minten go out on PP1

 

[Duffman955]

Hats off to every member. Super gritty performance

Benoit and the kids especially looked good.

Hope Knies is okay, he's been huge.

Minten with his first and a GWG was amazing. Loved to see the genuine smile on his face. Only person with a bigger smile was probably his dad.

Go Leafs Go!!!

Seriously where the hell did Grebenkin come from. What a find.

Serov, Russia.

 

[Divine]

Half the roster missing and losing forwards during the game and they're still picking up wins. Love to see it!

 

[3blizzard4]

And you know McDavid was watching tonight!

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Plus we get to keep teeing teams up for a bounce back against the Sens! lol

 

[OVO16]

Best Game for Simon Benoit all season

 

[BTP]

the 2 rookies both played fantastic 1st games (i know its not mintens 1st).

very impresed by them. add cowan to the mix and suddenly we have fresh hungry young blood. if they all make the team last year the team should be noticiably faster imo

 

[weems]

That was a great team win.
It had a playoff intensity and so many players had strong games.
Woll was very good and held it together when we were getting outplayed.
Nylander, Marner, Tavares, Greb, Minten, Benoit, Lorentz, Steeves, OEL, McCabe all played well.
I really like the way we're moving the puck as a 5 man unit, just tons of short, smart little passes and nothing too high risk.
More North- South hockey and less messing around with the puck in dangerous areas of the ice.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Man they battled and grinded that one. Just mucked up the open ice and kept it to the outside .. Marner and JT were great but Nylander put the team on his back tonight.

Congrats to Minten .. nice debut with the GWG tonight!

Greb looks awesome. Some slick puck skills, his compete is great, and he loves to be physical. What a toolkit. Him and Knies in the top 9? Sweeeeet.

Woll - what a game. Especially after the Knies thing, he came up huge to shut down Vegas' PP's

Timid 2nd defending a lead but they came out with a great strong 3rd period and the power play came through when they needed.

 

[All Mod Cons]

Outstanding.

Berube seems to be a really good coach.

Players of the game in no particular order

Marner
Woll
Tavares
The D
Holmberg
Great
Minten

 

[fahad203]

That was one of the most complete game Leafs played

 

[Raging Bull]

Minten and Grebonkin created more offense in one game than Robertson all year. Robbie is done.

 

[Kurtz]

Greb looked good. Big, strong and quick descision maker.
