Post-Game Talk: Leafs win 4-1 with a solid 60 min effort

[DitchMarner]

Seattle is a pathetic franchise from top to bottom.

Nah... they're decent. They beat MTL 8-2 in their last game. There are definitely worse teams. They just had an off night like TOR did against CLB last week.

 

[ACC1224]

Good team game overall.

Few needless turnovers to be cleaned up, but no real harm came from them.

Woll was steady and tidy. D really kept the front of the net clear.

PP still not producing, but looking better... maybe they breakout on Saturday?

Still a couple players bringing nothing to the table.

Need the bottom of the lineup to start contributing

They need more from Domi IMO. He's been decent, but having zero goals is pretty bad. They need him to drive that third line so they can have three good lines. When McMann was having success, he was with WN.

 

[Optimist]

Matthews should have had to call that shot for it to have counted.

 

[CabanaBoy5]

That was a very complete game. Seattle skated hard but we had too much skill for them. I liked the play of virtually everyone, including Holmberg on the fourth line. Timmins had a decent game.

Berube has found something in that Tavares line. Loved Pacioretty’s game, especially the tripod moves at the blueline. He’s been a pleasant surprise. He has good size, great scorer, and actually hits.

Probably could trade some players for more assets and take a run at Brock Nelson at the deadline. Or get Dvorak. Depending on his stint, Minten might become an option later.

But yeah, Domi should be shifted to wing. Something like McMann - Nelson - Domi would be a decent 3rd line imo

Solid game and that second line is cooking. The powerplay is a massive problem, but I'd rather that happen now and force the issue.

 

[DragoGrizzly]

I can’t believe I’m saying this but, I think I like Pacioretty? He’s throwing his body around (which I don’t remember him doing as a Hab) and has become a pretty effective combo with JT.

Leafs need to lock up Knies on an 8-year deal asap.

$5.5mill x 8 years

Missed the game but glad to see Woll with a nice bounce back

I like Stolie but it’s unrealistic to think he can carry a full start load. Need Woll to come though with some good stretches too.

While I don't disagree, what motivation does Knies have to sign that kind of deal?

Can’t see the player signing that.

It was always going to take Woll a game or two to get back to feeling right.

With both guys healthy, I would expect a traditional rotation to be in play.

There were missing there top 2 dman
Dunn and Montour ( 3 goals the last game )

Overall a pretty good game tonight, and good result.

The PP actually looked decent for once, even if they didn't score tonight. Of course results are all that matters, but playing well is movement in the right direction.

I thought we were a bit too sloppy at times in the defensive zone, but Woll was solid, and the posts were his friend tonight. We will need to clean that up a bit.

Good execution 5v5 though and some great passing.

I thought lines 1, 2 and 4 were decent... actually most of the forwards had decent games, except maybe Robertson. He had moments of ok play, but just not enough of it. We had a solid win, so I wonder if he'll get another game, or if that's it for him?

Man when everyone plays their value they look real good

It’s just me hoping something good happens to the Leafs for once…

I think that not bridging him in the summer at 5x3 was a bad call.
