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

[horner]

Can't believe his hit happened the second Reavo isn't playing.

When we plat Vegas again whitecloud keep your head up

 

[Niagara Bill]

It’s not like Canadian teams haven’t had success though

Flames
Oilers x 2
Sens
Habs
Canucks

All been to the finals and most of those were game 7’s. All it took was one team to win and that streak is broken. It was extremely close

But the truth is Only the Shadow knows if the fix is in.

I was happy with the way minten and gerbenkin played. I want to see them play more before I declare a third line center isn’t needed.

Did you see how fast Minten got back on that 2 on 1. With that kind of effort sky is the limit

 

[horner]

However knowing he is bent over a bit and not looking, knowing you are going to hit is head and blow him up is a predatory chicken shit move.
This is not the intent of body contact.
I love a good hit as well as the next guy but that POS on Vegas absolutely knew he was going to injure a player

Kolesar directed Knies to Whitecloud by taking away his ice riding him to the boards

 

[Nineteen67]

He could have stopped Knies without driving up through his head.
Players get stopped, slowed down and seperated from the puck all the time without headshots like that, but hey let’s let meatheads like that run wild injuring all the skill guys.


Parros is a meathead

Considering the check was clean, how does he stop him without a body check?

Do you know what happens more often? The player with the puck gets off the railroad track because he’s sees the train coming.

 

[Tie Domi Esquire]

We have no proof that he does deters cheapshots. But we do have is proof that when he is in the lineup the opposing team do take liberties on our players and he yaps from the bench and then 5 times a year does his bear hug dance with someone wearing plastic armour and a shield.

Just because Don Cherry has brainwashed into thinking this is true doesn’t make it true.

I’m all for adding a tough big winger that has NHL hockey ability that can scrap and is defensively responsible. Reaves isn’t it …not now

Don Cherry was born in 1934, he didn't invent fighting in hockey.

Anyways, the hit was clean and Knies has a bad habit of skating with his head down.

 

[ULF_55]

Think the big difference was Whitecloud came at him directly while Reaves was more glancing.
I thought it was a good old time hit but can also see the inconsistency.
Hopefully Knies is ok, he'll learn from that.

I don't see how they can review and say it was a good hit and then review again later and give a suspension. That would be a real bad look.

There is clarity on TSN about the review.

According to this report it wasn't reviewed by anyone except the referees on the ice.

The article says they just provide the video, and the on ice officials interpret it.

Seeing the replay again, it wasn’t as bad as first thought. I can see why the call was made

 

[Dekes For Days]

As we sit here today in first in our division

We're 2nd in the division.

I rather run into a wall eight times than waste one second on George Parros. They will never admit mistakes. If the call had been a match penalty he would have defended that using the same rule.

 

[DarkKnight]

We're 2nd in the division.

Just go to the Pens board and find your people.

You’re so laughable I can’t even.

 

[AvroArrow]

What is this team ? Guys standing up for each other ? Tavares getting dirty AND playing like he's in his 20s again ? Nylander dominating every shift ? Marner looks dare I say it, godlike, when he's been on the ice. Hands down our best player so far, elite on both ends but what's been most impressive is how he keeps moving. Not sure if anyone else has been noticing it, but he's moving like McDavid, in the sense that his feet are always active and moving, he keeps taking strides and moving with the puck. He isn't floating around and standing still, he's driving every single time. Lorentz + OEK have been really good additions.

 

[Divine]

Tavares wants the C back

Not only did he get involved in a scrum. He grabbed the guy and bodyslammed him to the ice. Shanahan might hold a press conference by the end of the week saying Tavares is the captain again

I didn't think they’d be as good and as entertaining as they’ve been. If they can solve the bottom of the lineup and score “Leafs goals” they can win the Atlantic.

 

[Evilhomer]

You’re so laughable I can’t even.

Personally, I find it entertaining. It's fighting windmills stuff. That said, when the Leafs win the Cup this season, everyone should acknowledge that this team is a mix of moves made by Dubas and Treliving, not just the latter.

He’s got to learn to keep his head up. He hasn’t been great skating with the puck so maybe this will be a wake up call to everyone.

Don’t forget Lou.

Clearly they're 2nd. Just read it.

1. Pittsburgh
2. Toronto
3. Dallas
4. Hufflepuff
5. Gold Rings
6. Tampa

 

[Evilhomer]

Don’t forget Lou.

Agreed, Lou as well.

That’s bold even for you

I'm the one who bet on Berube winning coach of the year and the Leafs getting to the conference final. From what I can tell, people are just starting to catch up to me.

I can see it.
The way we played the game was always the biggest problem.

 

[therealkoho]

If the league already reviewed it and didn't think it was a penalty, how could they now turn around and say it's worthy of discipline?
Has this ever happened before?

I seem to recall something like this happening to either McLaren or Brown when the Leafs were being pugnacious or belligerently truculent. Ahh the good ol days!

 

[Cleetus]

Parros explanation is a joke, just bullshit, he is slowing it down showing main point of contact through his body, while it shows his head clearly being the main point, league is a joke, Parros is a biased moron

I can't figure out why anyone cares whether a guy on a team the Leafs play once more this season is suspended.
