Post-Game Talk: Leafs win 4-3 in OT

[Confucius]

Enjoy the win and stop trying to diminish the goal. If Matthews or Nylander scored that goal you wouldn’t be saying the same. It was a great effort on that play start to finish.

If Marner fell down and McDavid scored, holy shit what a shit show this thread would have been

 

[The Hanging Jowl]

I predictably fell asleep for the 2nd period which means I saw the whole game. And what a game!

Me and my Bobby McMann!

[The Podium]

X --- Matthews --- Domi
McMann --- Tavares ---- Marner
Knies ---- Y ------ Nylander

Never play the 4th line!

Just have to fill in X and Y through trades or open trials among the spare parts and Toronto Marlies.

Exactly this.

 

[DarkKnight]

I will be impressed if he plays like this in the playoffs.

Relax and enjoy the moments.

Silly.

I'm sure the "regular season doesn't matter" crowd missed the game because, well the regular season doesn't. But as for me, i really really enjoyed that game. High tension, a motivated mcdavid, some dangerous hits, blood, outrage because no penslty on mcdavid onbthe tying goal, oilet fans meltdown. I loved that result every bit ss much as a playoff win. I fully enjoy Leaf wins anytime of the year.

 

[Nineteen67]

Enjoyed every minute of that game.

Marner look different.

 

[DarkKnight]

Marner was good tonight, but let’s not pretend that 3 on 3 is anything other than a stupid gimmick

The "but" is you not him.

 

[Confucius]

Enjoyed every minute of that game.

Marner look different.

I thought 1st and 3rd were great, 2nd was bad by both sides

 

[Metroid]

Go Marner go
Lol anyrovpskit

 

[All Mod Cons]

We're playing such a great brand of hockey at the moment. Really really solid defensively. And much more North/South and on the forecheck.

If you are looking for a team that'll beat the Hurricanes 8-7, this isn't the team for you.

But I will say, this team is hard to put away. They keep playing their game and remain solid and structured. They'll have some crappy games because it isn't easy doing it game after game.

I actually don't think you'll want to play us in a 7 game series, once we add a couple more forwards.

Exciting times ahead.

Marner owned McDraisdavid and the Oils in the OT. That’s Mitch at his best, beast defensive play and clutch goal. Should have won in Regulation but McDavid gets carte blanche as always.

Good win by the good guys

 

[shaner8989]

Love McMann. Does everything with a non stop motor

Marner was amazing

Edmonton sucks. Skinner is so bad

No Matthews. No problem

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Need that Bowen call lol

 

[likecheese]

14-0-1 when McMann scores.

Seems to me MM is way too likely to try and pass that puck if it was him and AM coming down on the 2 on 1. Great of MM to shoot there because maybe in the future, he can put some doubt in the opposing teams mind in similar situations. In a weird way, AM being out for a bit might be a blessing for Mitch.

Marner carrying the team on his back with 34 out of the line up.

He has been exceptional in every game without matthews (minus ottawa, no one was)

That's some good D. (Moneypuck), with a nod to Stolarz for Stolarzing.

Sorry for the incomplete stat line. Didn't pick it all up.

Conference final or bust?

They're probably bringing the gang back in either case.

There wasn’t much there, off the post and in. I watched one replay and still didn’t see the opening, skinner was just a minute fraction late

 

[PROUD PAPA]

Watched the game at an Edmonton bar.
A little extra satisfaction.

Silly.

I am enjoying these moments. But, that doesn’t mean that statement doesn’t still stand.

 

[horner]

Should have one in regulation time.
Mcdavid should have got a penalty for pushing JT's stick away if I saw it correctly ( which I believe we got a penalty a couple of games ago .

Anyways great game by the Leafs.
McMann great game
Marner incredible game
Mathews who
The cardiac kids came through again
It's funny now we are the team waiting for the opposition to screw up , Wilson then Bouchard, playoff hockey.
Stolarz solid again

It's a given.
