Just saw Nylanders second goal. Everyone hates on Tavares. He can still play. What a great pass! Highly skilled pkay.

In the AA group discussing how good dubas was LMAO
Don't laugh, Dubas probably working on a "team friendly" Malkin extension to make Crosby happy...that'll get the Pens going...

A simple question that Leafs fans have been asking for what seems like decades, hopefully the answer theyve been wanting to hear, has finally fallen into their laps. Any way here goes.
Do the Toronto Maple Leafs now have two actual, honest to dog NHL goaltenders! Is this a real thing, are these guys for real? Have the Leafs actually filled that big hole in their aspirations for playoff success. Sure they have flaws, but solid goaltending has a way of getting past those things. They do however need to find their powerplay the sooner the better.

This game and game 2 of the season I think were clearly the best 2 games they've played. Wonder if those 2 games have anything in common...

I was just thinking 8 x 6.5 tbh. They better not go bridge. With the cap going up, Marner/Tavares deals up and most if not all the G and D locked up for at least next year the Leafs have a lot of money decisions to make up front this offseason. Feels like even with a Marner extension they should have room for a Knies 8 year deal and not have to bridge.
I think we have two capable goalie. At this point, I don’t feel a sense of “oh crap” when one or the other gets the start. Last year it’s was all over the place with Sammy, injuries, and OTP inconsistency.

When was the last time the leafs had 2 good goalies let alone 1, we might be talking decades haha
Potvin and Fuhr?
It’s definitely a lot tougher to do nowadays with the salary cap.

Odd takes.
Nylander plays 40 seconds of 4on4, then someone wonders why he didn't start the PP. The response is that he only has one goal on the PP, ignoring the fact that one leads the team in PP goals.
A couple of posters are saying it looks better without him, while most are saying it looks worse.
The late PP with Willy, OEL, JT, and Domi was really moving it around much better. Adding Matty to those four might be the best idea.
Nice play by Matty pushing it ahead from the faceoff, then two sharp passes for the goal. (Thought we were supposed to give up the last minute goal, not score it.)
Great pass by Mo - you can score from there if you have a shot.
Wow, the backhand pass to Patches and then JT the fight and feed to Willy.
Good work by Domi at the end and nice bankshot by Matty.
Too bad Woll lost the SO - he was solid.

It's a shame that Woll lost the shutout because he deserved to get the shutout.
But aside from that, that was among the most the most complete games you will see them play.
That was fantastic.
Now give me that same effort against Stlouis and Minnesota.

Good win, Line 2 worked like a page out of old school hockey textbook. Perhaps some chemistry...
Woll looked sharp and focused, my second time screening the game I watched him a fair bit, seems like a true pro, so poised and steady.
I've been a Leaf fan for many years, even saw the '67 win on black and white TV. I honestly think the GDT is becoming with all the unnecessary Marner bashing going on, just terrible. What is the point of all that?

Unless you're winning a game 1-0, shutouts are meaningless. F course, hat tricks are also meaningless.
