Post-Game Talk: Leafs win 3-0!!!

[ConnorTO]

ROCK SOLID SCRIVENS

 

[The Winter Soldier]

The good:

Kadri
Dion
Scrivens

The bad

Grabo, no line to shutdown tonight, now on a 30 point pace this season per 82 games.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Back to back shutouts with Colton Orr on the third line

... Let that sink in

 

[bshaw]

+ Komarov

we drafted him

 

[Penalty Kill Icing*]

Assuming that most of us are on laptop when we are on Hf, I call it our official win GIF.

Started off very choppy, but the buds really took off after the Kessel goal. We still have a few things to upgrade, but I haven't been this optimistic about the organization since before the previous lockout.

Plus, we still have plenty of young prospects to look forward to/move out for those upgrades.

 

[Revolt]

Man i love the defensive system the leafs are playing this year. Great game, 10-6-0 baby!!!!

 

[Leafsdude7]

It that Buck Martinez?!?

 

[Igy]

 

[The Winter Soldier]

It's "official"?
Ron Wilson's team last year had just as hot of a start...

Touche, don't count your chickens, but I sense this team is different this year, surprised me. I'll be the 1st to admit.

 

[Antropovsky]

Scrivens amazing. He probably feels no pressure with who's starting with reimer out and is playing like a boss. Looks like we have 2 solid goalies.

He shouldn't, Leafs no longer have any depth in the minors, Rynnas hasn't been good, Owuya is now backing up the new goalie McIntyre for the Marlies.

Also, Caryle's system has to help. Goalies tend to look much better in his system, Hiller, Bryzgalov, Giguere... etc.

I think this is a big reason why Goalies trade values are lower recently, it's much harder to gauge their ability these days. Toskala looked great in San Jose, atrocious elsewhere.

When are we gonna see the time when Goalies are elite players on teams again? The Roy's, Brodeurs, Haseks, Josephs. Quick was sensational in the playoffs, but hasn't been great since, same goes for Caps goalie, Braden Holtby.

It's "official"?
Ron Wilson's team last year had just as hot of a start...

Please list a period of 7 games allowing only 9 goals during Wilson's tenure.

 

[keonsbitterness]

Best part of the game for me was keeping the Panthers off the board despite them coming out strong at the beginning of 1st and 2nd periods.

 

[93gilmour93]

love it. Great game for scrivens. What a shot from Kessel.

 

[Anthrax442]

 

[TMLeafer]

Not the best start, but Scrivens was outstanding! Kessel's goal was a beaut, and Kadri continues to do his thing. Great game for him. Glad Mac potted one as well. Grabo looked livelier at times, I thought, but he's not earning his paycheque.

Edit: Forgot the D. All were great, but Gunnar looked rusty.

 

[zeke]

So nice to be able to be outplayed for half a game, and have your goalie still keep you in it. Haven't had that since Belfour.

Now we know how other teams feel.

and damn, Phaneuf was a dominant force tonight, at both ends of the ice.

 

[Warden of the North]

Great win guys!

Phil and Dion played great tonight

Scrivens was excellent.

 

[The Winter Soldier]

+ Komarov

Yes, Fraser too, think I was the only guy to say this was a good trade when it happened. Where's my Devils friend that told me he was crap, and I told not so fast...

 

[traffic cone]

 

[Dangles McGavin]

As others have been saying, McClement was phenomenal.

Komarov was awesome too. He's getting that reputation!

 

[JMcLeaf]

 

[Dr Turk]

Leafsdude7 lives another day. Hell of a game.

 

[SeenSchenn2]

Albeit one bad blemish, I thought Gunnarsson was solid considering it was his first game back.


All 6 of the d-men deserve much love tonight.

 

[LeeIs]

We're tied with the Bruins for 1st in our division

wooot. Feels good!

edit: never mind the habs have that. darn
