Post-Game Talk: Leafs win 4-3 in the shootout

[CelticDruid]

Well willy can't score a shootout goal this year.

That's it?

 

[Burnie97]

Man that McMann - Tavares - Jarnkrok line was unbelivable

Responsible hockey with the ability to cycle the puck at will. I hope we keep it

Damn... do we have a proper 3rd and 4th line finally.

Maybe we go for a leftwing and another d man but this team is surprisingly shaping up lately.

You know Benoit is a stud when you're having a hard time caring if we have Boosh moving forward or not.

Benoit’s turning into prime Francois Beauchemin or something. It’s nuts.

 

[Dayjobdave]

Big win on a Saturday night

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

I've been hard on Sammy all year, and rightly so, but that was a gutsy performance to find a way to win after giving up the lead with 67 seconds to go, because of course it was 67, because it HAD to be 67.

To make that OT save, and find a way to win that game, he had to dig DEEP for that one that took guts.

 

[Buds17]

Some ups and downs there. The main takeaway for me though is the win and two points.

 

[bax]

Matthews was garbage tonight.

Started off looking liked he’d score three I thought and then after 10 minutes just disappeared

 

[Confucius]

Boosh is injured?

More than likely concussion probably took the hardest hit I’ve seen, although it wasn’t legal. Charging for sure

 

[thewave]

Might be a concussion... Rempe charge (not called).
""

That's clean for NYR, if that were anyone on the Leafs you know it's a charge.

 

[Evilhomer]

It can go Boston, Carolina, Rangers, Oilers

The Oilers are not making the Stanley Cup finals. Not a chance.

 

[The Masters]

good win

 

[LeafEgo]

Answering the bell was very much optional given the condition he’s in…

Speculating but think on their first shift when they exchanged words Reavo was checking in and Rempe told him he couldn't go.

But then he sent Boosh to concussion protocol with a charge. Can't have it both ways.

So he had to answer for that, but Reavo caught him in the face a couple times so he had to call it early. Reavo played the whole thing cool.

 

[Evilhomer]

I thought everyone hated Tavares? Hard to keep up here.

 

[wingman75]

Unfortunate they let it get past regulation. SO wins are like, whatever, but better than a loss.

One of Samsonov's best games as a Leaf? Felt like it was.

Somewhat crappy bounce on the game tying goal, but felt like it was coming to me.

I liked the effort, battle and pace. Hope Lub is not out long, that hit should warrant at minimum a fine since they missed the call in game, it was charge.

Good game against a good opponent with ending in a win. I'll take it.

 

[Gabriel426]

MM really need to learn not to do that again.
Kind of glad it happened today, hopefully he learns not to backhand a puck into the EN when there was no pressure from the opposing team.

Sammy was amazing and it was a statement game for him.

 

[Bomber0104]

Matthews was garbage tonight.

When the ChurchOfMatthews agrees with you, you know it was bad..

 

[KPower]

Tavares was great tonight.

He should be getting more love.

 

[Matty Sundin]

Good win that was almost ruined over a Mitch Marner TiK Tok post

 

[leafsfan5]

Matthews was garbage tonight.

Him and Marner were dominant tonight, they generated chances at will

 

[Confucius]

I thought everyone hated Tavares? Hard to keep up here.

It’s always what have you done lately

 

[Burnie97]

Benoit’s turning into prime Francois Beauchemin or something. It’s nuts.

It's weird to say almost but It'd be scary to see how much worse they'd be without him this year with all the injuries and d man having bad years.

Players are told to do that now, all teams do it.

Lucky win, but its still a win. Samsonov looked pretty damn good and if he plays this way the rest of the year the Leafs have a pretty good chance in the playoffs to do some damage.

Lucky?

69% xGF
75% HDCF
57% CF

And Keefe gave them a handicap by putting one of the leagues best on the bench for almost half a period. Rangers could have took a nice lead in the 1st period and blew it.

This one should have been a straight forward win. We were the better team.

Vive La Québécois!!

How was it a lucky win we outplayed them and deserved the win . Had the Rangers won the shootout would it have been a lucky win
