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

[wingman75]

OMG Greybenkin post game interview was amazing. Ha ha! Good on you kid!

 

[Visnovsky]

Beautiful

At this stage it's hilarious how many times Leafs players have gone into concussion protocols while the other team doesn't even get a penalty on the play because it was a "hockey play". I stopped watching hockey and really just look at highlights now as this league is clearly rigged in favour of some teams and against others. Just came to comment here after I saw the hit. Nice to see nothing has changed with Bettman's NHL.

Exactly where I'm at. I'm too disgusted to watch. It's flagrant and Leaf management acts like they don't see it.The NHL is rigged. The fact that NHL insiders do nothing about it speaks volumes.. it's theft. Someone should sue the league.To me it's a crime. But I'm not stupid enough to pay.

"Don't pass Willy!" "Don't pass Willy!". "Don't pass Willy!" "Great pass Willy!" Nice finish by Minten - well earned first (hopefully of many).

Nylander is so smooth that people who don't understand can think it's lazy.

Great backcheck by Minten and pass by JT to spring Mitch and Willy.

Woll had a good game. I don't recall any highlight saves, but he was in position and made all the stops. Well earned if unspectacular shutout.

A solid game all round. Very good debuts by Minten and Grebenkin. Typical solid D (and when was the last time we could say that?).

Hope Knies is ok.

What’s the lineup look like when we’re healthy I don’t think we need a 3c maybe we can ship Jarnkrok and a couple other spare parts and get another right shot Defenceman we gotta go for it an Adam larsson or something cause I don’t believe hakinpaa is Riellys partner he might be oels on the bottom pair maybe

 

[Leafsfan74]

Thought the double-minor was going to Whitecloud until I see we're on the pk, it's like they're trolling us and back in their office having a laugh while a guy's going through another concussion.

It's akin to the Boston series and maybe Kadris second suspension. Boston was able to get away with so much while Leafs were called repeatedly.

To this day, the Leafs still have more penalties against than so many other teams.

 

[leafs in five]

best game of the year for Dewar and Benoit, maybe Nylander too? Greb was also great, I am just really impressed with lots of these guys. f***ing blows about Knies, such a triumphant win marred by the thought that he's at least two severe-looking brain injuries deep at age 22.

 

[leafs in five]

Playoff team.

New additions stay.

Robertson out

Get well Knies

serious team

 

[Leafsfan74]

A character win for sure, especially with the team standing up for one another.

Certainly Berube must know what Benoit can provide and he definitely provided it in this game. He dished our 8 hits and was playing the way he played that earned him his contract as a surprise last year. He is going to be important come playoffs.

 

[TMLBlueandWhite]

Sure looked like he jumped into Knies to me.

He absolutely left his feet. It was a pretty clear jump. Not only that but he targeted the head.

This is bullshit.

I'm pissed. I really am. How anybody could watch that unfold and claim it was a legal hit is beyond me.

Mr. Magoo could have seen it was a penalty ffs.

It's times like this I almost start to believe the tin foil hat conspiracy theories. The NHL is corrupt and it runs deep. I'd really like think it's just incompetence.

But when Reaves gets five games for a reckless play while Whitecloud gets nothing for a blatant foul it appears flagrant.

 

[Racer88]

Sure is nice finally having a rugged, tough team that doesn’t fold when the going gets rough

If Keefe was still coach they would have blown that lead.

 

[Racer88]

If Keefe was still coach they would have blown that lead.

Yup and if Dubas was still the GM the team would still be full of Malgins and Petans

 

[leafs in five]

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

must have been drafted before or after the failed reign of the GM who doomed the franchise

 

[weems]

Our PK has been good to start the year.
Now some of that is Stolarz/Woll playing well but still it looks much improved over last season.

 

[leafs in five]

Yup and if Dubas was still the GM the team would still be full of Malgins and Petans

yeah one thing is for sure, if Dubas was still the GM, none of the guys drafted while Dubas was GM who were in the lineup last night would have been in the lineup last night

Now what if the wealthiest, most popular, most powerful ownership group in the league actually used it?

I will say this team seems different. The pack up and go home attitude does not seem to be as prevalent.

Dare I say they have heart?

 

[leafs in five]

I love this group, and really like all the additions from this offseason especially. I love the coach. but the idea that winning a tough REGULAR SEASON game against a tough opponent in the face of some very tough officiating is new this year is I gotta say a bit suspect

 

[henryasteroidlionnet]

Vegas looked flat. Knies got rocked! Big hit. I hope he's going to be okay.

 

[Racer88]

yeah one thing is for sure, if Dubas was still the GM, none of the guys drafted while Dubas was GM who were in the lineup last night would have been in the lineup last night

Some of his draft pics are ok but the chumps he picked up trying to fill out the roster on the cheap every year were total failures.
Even you can’t deny that this team is tougher and has more push back then any Dubas team ever had

The Leafs made Vegas look flat

yeah I would agree with the last statement.
do you still agree with this statement? "We have more then enough evidence this mix is not a serious winning group"

 

[crump]

I'll be surprised if he gets fined.

I’ll be surprised if Parros doesn’t buy him lunch

 

[Peasy]

You know someone can have strengths and weaknesses right? Its not just black and white.

Dubas put together a solid scouting staff that appears to have done well drafting both forwards and goalies. Drafted D are still non existent though.
