Post-Game Talk: Leafs win 3-2

[ToMaLe]

he didn’t stand on his head but he def out performed Andersen

Exactly, all you can ask for is not let in any softies and give your team a good chance to win.

 

[PromisedLand]

Andersen was at 15 shots when the 5th went in.

and how many shots did the leafs have on the opposition; and how was the leafs defense playing?

Gotta say Kerfoot looks solid. I would have moved him in a heartbeat this offseason, but he's doing what you'd expect out of a 3C

 

[GQS]

Not gonna say Campbell was amazing as he didn't get much work and only had to make a good save or two, but I like that he at least looks mostly steady and calm in net and isn't floppy and all over the place like Andersen is alot of the time.

 

[colchar]

I haven't watched the game yet (I recorded it), how was Campbell in net?

 

[robertmac43]

Step in the right direction. On to the Jets whom I would just love to beat bad!

 

[LastOne2100]

You love to see it. I like the idea that was floated on the broadcast to play whichever goalie again after a win.

 

[Srsly]

What a turnover by Marner in the final seconds, that's the kind of play a guy who bet a lot of money on the other team makes.

He was also the best player in the ice for most of the second and chunks of the first. But sure, let’s focus on the turn around at the end of the game.

 

[JadedLeaf]

That wasn't a bad game at all. Probably could have been 5-2 or 6-2. Marner was being dumb at the end though.

 

[likecheese]

Best players were Marner, Matthews and Brodie. Only players that I think had noticeably bad games were Nylander, Vesey and Bogo.

Vesey looks like he could be an effective third-liner but you can't move up Mikheyev until he gets it together, the lines still need a lot of sorting out.

 

[JadedLeaf]

Who's ready for another goalie controversy? lol

 

[Maplebeasts]

I too would start Campbell again on Monday. He didn't get too much rubber go his way today and in the condensed schedule you simply don't have time to let Andersen figure it out. He should be starting until he falters or a back to back.

 

[MSZ]

A win on Saturday night, it wasn't pretty but I would take it.

Yes, because they couldn't let shots get to Freddy. They had to play defensively, which we know isn't their strong point. Tonight they got the saves, so they could play more Offensively.

Get the saves, Get the domination!

 

[IrishInOntario]

Spezza was 10/10 on the face-off dot tonight.

Spezza was 1010
Tavares was 9/11

Matthews was 10/20

He was okay, just okay.

 

[stickty111]

Good game but that should be expected after yesterday's game. Marner and Matthews responded with great performances. The 2nd line needs to get going and the change is obvious.
Brodie was terrific after yesterday.
Campbell was really good and didn't give up deflating goals. Freddy has 2 strikes. I would give him the Jets game and if he is bad, you go with Campbell.

 

[TheShape]

Campbell the closer!

 

[Enniskillen]

I wish we had a player who could deal with Stutzle the same way they have dealt with Robertson.

 

[glue]

Liked their game for the most part, solid effort. But they still play tentative, nervous and foolish (especially Mitch near the end). They lack killer instinct and missing execution still - but it’s very early this should improve. That said, ultimately it’s this effort that I’m still waiting to see CONSISTENTLY. It drives me nuts they keep doing the Jekyl and Hyde nonsense

 

[leaffaninvancouver]

Happy with the effort, good bounce back from last night. Hopefully things even out, soon.

Not looking forward to playing a team with a Covid outbreak.

Jesus we got some good goaltending tonight and we won, be happy!

He didn't face a lot of shots if we are being honest. The Stuzle goal probably should have been saved, but it was a sick first goal for him. The biggest difference is Campbell was composed even with a late game push. I don't think I really felt like we were going to lose that game or let in a bad goal.

 

[All Mod Cons]

Not great. But we did it. We hung in there. Matthews line was at least good tonight.

 

[IrishInOntario]

Vesey looks like he could be an effective third-liner but you can't move up Mikheyev until he gets it together, the lines still need a lot of sorting out.

But you could move Hyman up... Because he deeply deserves it.
