I started clapping with 15 seconds left. They earned it.

Never take him out of the lineup again. At least not while he plays like this.
He can drive his own line, and I don't think he has had a game below a 60 xGF% this year.
He had a 22% OZS% today and still had a 74 xGF%.

Where is this parade I keep reading about over and over again at HFBoards we are planning after two wins?
Some posters will just say anything to stay cool with the bashers.

Same here - old enough to remember Leafs winning four Cups.
Nylander is my favourite player on the team, don't take what I'm saying about him the wrong way. Its more an over-exaggeration about how that should never go in, not even in Peewee.

Offensively, Rielly seems more effective leading the rush like a forward or occasionally as the trailing man. On the PP doesn't seem that efficient as the last man back bringing the puck up the ice into traffic through the neutral zone or on the point as a distributor, shot option or someone with the vision to walk the line and try to open up seams from the PK. He's neither the Kaberle nor the McCabe.

Matthews moved the puck up to Willy and went to the bench, ending a 1:11 shift.
So the stats are right: assist but no +, as he had left the ice.
It happens a fair bit, which is the biggest objection to +/-.
At 16:21/16:22 Kerfoot, Matthews, Liljegren, and Rielly left the ice, and Holl, ZAR, Kampf, and Brodie got on.
Nylander scored at 16:25. The four other Leafs who were on the ice when he crossed centre were all on the bench when he scored.

Noel Hoefenmayer has one heck of a point slap shot. I doubt he’s ever going to be good enough to suit up for us, but man he can shoot the puck.
It's just a silly old trope that's been thrown around for decades. I'm sure there's a few outliers who think this team will win a Stanley Cup every year, but the overwhelming percentage of the fans rarely say such a thing. Sure, there's a quite a few who might think during certain years that we have a reasonable shot, but that's usually about the most optimism your average fan will venture into. The problem I believe is that we have just about the most fans in the league, so therefore, we are going to have most outliers. And of course people tend to notice negative stuff a lot more than positive stuff.

I'm not sure I agree with the "Andersen had a bad game" opinion. Jarnkrok was all alone in the slot and put the puck over the pad, under the blocker, and just inside the post. With the move and pass Marner made I could have scored. There's no way you should anticipate Willy stealing that puck, let alone kicking it up to his stick.
Kallgren, Sandin, and Holl played well. Liljegren and Malgin were excellent. Nylander was our best player. I thought except for their goal the Tavares line struggled a bit.

It’s weird. Murray was looking steady before his injury and samsonov looked like a stud. Both these guys calmed down our team.
Our team. The wild bi-polar leafs who lose to basement teams looking lifeless and can beat the two best teams on a b2b with travel.
Freddy might be the overall stats wise goalie, but his little leaks here and there like what we just saw is what takes the wind outta the sails of the bi polar leafs.
Every team needs something different. We need steady consistent goalies. Let goals in fine. But consistently with same measured reason.
Haven’t seen Murray or Samsonov let in a blooper like we’ve seen with Freddy over the last few years.
Larger sample size will be seen.
Anyways keep it going Leafs!

Somebody once posted an image of the parade route. Interestingly, it resembled a middle finger. Lol
What these two games proved is that our overall defensive game is better than previous yrs. Our forwards and defense are more committed . We aren't scoring as much but our defensive coverage is better. This was a playoff weekend.
The only thing we need to be concerned about is goaltending.

Some people don’t pay attention to the bashes that’s the first thing they do when they’re team is losing ours is winning right now and tha just the way I like it GO LEAFS GO
They still have a lot to prove. 4 wins is not enough to get to the playoffs .. but that said 2 of them were against the best teams in our division. So that mean that they can play better when they want to
While he may not be the best at running the PP, over the last 5 years Morgan Rielly has averaged the 22nd most minutes on a PP in the NHL for a defenseman, while scoring the 15th highest number of points for a dman during that time. While averaging 2:45 TOI/PP/G he's nearly 30 seconds shy of the average number of minutes/PP/G that the 14 players who have scored more points than he has get/G. On average, Rielly scores .24 points/g on the PP. By comparison, Chris Letang (12th in scoring by a defenseman over the last 5 years) averages .266 points/g on the PP while averaging 37 seconds more PP time/g. Roman Josi, 4th overall: .3 points/g on the PP while averaging 28 seconds more per night.
The real standouts are: Makar (.43 points/g, 1:07 more time), Q. Hughes (.38 and 51 seconds more time), and old man Hedman (.4/game with 36 seconds more...also number 1 during that 5 year period).
Pietrangelo, Suter, Theodore, Chabot, Morrisey, Werenski, Ekblad, Hamilton and Jones: all have fewer points during this time frame, all with a comparable number of games played, all within 20 seconds of TOI (+ or -) save Morrisey who is averaging 29 seconds less/game, having played 9 fewer games than Mo, and sits 17 points behind him @ .19 points/game.
This suggests that the margins are pretty thin unless you've got a real talent on your team. Part of the Morgan Rielly can't contribute on a PP syndrome, is, I believe, largely based on familiarity with the player and hoping for more. As it stands by points and minutes, he's doing pretty darned well in comparison to many in the league.
