Really really good road game against a strong defensive team.

Officiating was pretty bad both ways imo.

Survived a hard push from the Jets to start. Once they were able to even up the game in the first, I think they were feeling pretty good.

Sammy was excellent again. Is he back? Hopefully!

Thought they played an excellent 2nd, only reason it felt more even was the Jets with the late PP opportunities that shifted momentum. PK coming through, but that Jets PP is way worse than ours, holy shit.

PP finally found a way to produce on the oddest slashing penalty I can ever remember seeing. JT has been building to this, but he looked a ton better imo.

Benny the Beauty with the EN was fantastic.

I thought Reves looked the best he has all season.

Robertson had another positive game; got dicey a couple of times but he played through the situation rather than giving the puck away.

Gio for PK only. Thought Brodie was good defensively too. Mo extremely working in the shadows. Timmy was... strugggahling.

Thought everyone else played well generally speaking.

Very positive way to finish off this tough stretch of games by going 4-4 (starting with the COL game), that was about to get out of hand when they were sitting at 1-4.
 
Our top heavy build make us unbeatable when they get goaltending.

We could have a 10+ game winning streak at a point in the season if we had goaltending
Based on the post-ASG schedule, I think they have the chance to go on a pretty good winning streak. I think they will use that stretch, and the games in hand, to move level with Florida and put space between them and Tampa/Detroit. Woll probably comes back at some point during the next 8 or 9 games.

Apparently this is only the 3rd sellout of the year at that building. Time to move that team back to Atlanta!

That's legitimately surprising. I get times are tough and Winnipeg doesn't have the same corporate downtown like here but the Jets are having a great season, you'd think people would want to go see them.
 
A month ago, is was unclear whether or not Sammy could even hockey, let alone get through a diabolical slump. Now look at him; what a story so far. I don't doubt he will still have some clunkers, but I don't doubt he can still hockey in a major league way.

Also, I just saw the highlights and Sammy was beaten on the first shot he saw. A month ago, this would have probably f'd up his entire night....but not tonight.
 
Connor Hellemid - He's obviously one of the game's elite and arguable Vezina favorite this year but he did not look super hot letting 4 go by him and giving up rebounds.
Only three (one empty net). Two on the PP and he did stop Willy twice on (partial) breakaways.
 
She was despicable. She was the only one who kept trying to justify the non-goal. Leafs played a very good game but that wasn’t admitted by the panel. But they harped after the first period on how lousy we were playing.
It got to the point that they just agreed cause they saw what happened with meyers last time 😭😭
 
I said the leafs would be in good shape for a playoff berth if they could get 8 points in the final 8 games before the ASG, they got 9, and will like be holding the last WC spot when the break happens.
 
It's good to have a break after a B2B win against those guys.
Nhl refs need to go back to school during the ALL STAR BREAK
they are becoming part of every game way too much
But the leafs grinded out 2 greasy wins against a good team
Good way to go ta break

If they allowed the Bertuzzi goal to Winnipeg, people would be losing their minds. It probably should have been a goal, but fans are blind with bias when it comes to refs

Jets looked like the 3rd place team they are in their division, not like the one that was first a couple of weeks ago. They suck without Schiefele. Leafs tighten up when they are missing Matty.

Refs blew the Bertuzzi goal and I thought calling a penalty to put the Jets down 5 on 3 After Tavares leans on and breaks his stick was amateur hour. Just when you thought you'd seen it all. Then Benoit scores his first goal as a Leaf with a 185 footer.

Looks like last year's Sammy is back. Now if we could get first half Willie back.
