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

[Shooter2x]

I love how there's a gang jumping in for Nylander and then another gang for Marner simultaneously.

Of course I'm rooting for the posters sticking up for the boys

 

[Commander Clueless]

f***

Great game, but I'm pissed about this.

Cripes

The Leafs outplayed the rangers period. The most you can say is the Leafs weren't unlucky.

They may have outplayed the Rangers much of the game, but the Rangers got the best scoring chances and could've easily been up if it weren't for Samsonov coming up big throughout the game and into OT. Also 2 of the Leafs goals were assisted by Rangers players with a Gustafsson deflection and a double body bounce and into the net on the Tavares goal.

Marner's goal was the only one that actually beat Igor so yeah Leafs were very lucky to win this game.

 

[Gabriel426]

Youre gonna get complaints if you pay for it and just last game Willy iced it but hit the net and no one was complaining about how bad it was cause he scored.

It all reminds me of Pierres awful "Can you believe it!" response "I can!" and then goes on a rant about icing the puck on an EN lol.

That’s the reality of it though. If McDavid did the same thing, it is still a bad play. Ofcourse if he scored, it is amazing.
Like the drop pass too, I love it but if Knies crap on it and missed it. It will be dissected by everyone a million ways.

 

[Budz]

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

PP back check - non existent.
OT effort was mixed.

I have high standards for a team leader.

Would not say lucky. Leafs played well. If anything Rangers was lucky to get a point and Rempe was lucky not get a 5mins major for charging.

Calm down. My OG comment was, I hope he learned from it bc don’t do it in the playoffs.
Don’t be so sensitive about a comment from the game.
We all had been saying, they to play the right way and develop good habits bc the margin of error is razor thin in the playoffs.
Get a hold of yourself.

Of course they’ll do it in the playoffs, they and all teams have been doing this for a few seasons now. Nylander and McMann have both scored doing this in the last few weeks. Vegas scored against the Leafs the same way.

Wow. Good eye. 88 and 84 spotted.

 

[Hoglund4MvP]

I think Nylander would have got the breakaway if 84 wasn't there. His legs can cover that distance as fast as you can blink as soon as defence drops the puck from his glove. He's done it many times in his career already


That was very nice defence by 84 realizing his Dman needs a pick.

 

[ACC1224]

Rangers board is pretty much unanimous that the Rangers were outplayed and lucky to get a point.

 

[Legion34]

Posts do not count as shots, therefore it did not “hit the net” and thus was appropriately deemed icing

Did that change? When I was a goalie for years way back when it was not icibg

 

[Bomber0104]

Nicely played game. Samsanov had to be huge though. Hopefully Lyb is ok

Not sure about you but I thought one or two of the tests were passed by the team, Keefe, Van Ryan, Mitch Marner, and Treliving after tonight,

You know Nylanders a beast when the opponent is in our zone but still need to play defence on him running around.

Hate that Boosh is hurt but at the same time you don't know if a Reaves fight ends the kid's career and perhaps even life-quality right there.

Delicate/dicey situation, definitely something I haven't seen in the game in a very long time.

Rempe will have to settle it down, or maybe he won't and this is something teams are going to have to deal with when playing the Rangers and start an arms race...

Goon intentionally injures teammate, he gets whatever comes to him.

[Aashir]

Great win

Though Samsonov was great

Credit to the third line for being solid throughout and not getting scored on

 

[AvroArrow]

Although we outplayed them, Sammy made a couple massive saves to keep us in the game, feels good to have the goaltenders all playing well after the shit show that happened earlier this season.

Willie, yes.
McMann, no. As he was clearing the zone under pressure and it bounced off the board. If McMann planned that, he should be working for NASA.

Good to know you're now on board with Reaves in the lineup.

What does one have to do with the other?

What does one have to do with the other?

You put 2 and 2 together and came up with jello.

 

[Forgotusername]

So apparently it should have been a penalty shot for the too many men in OT.

 

[Gabriel426]

Also, WTF was Willie thinking going off like that in OT. It was horrible.

 

[Folignos Helmet]

Intermission of flames game, panel says we should have had a penalty shot with the extra man jumping in with 5 seconds left to disrupt play.

Anyway nice win. I can’t watch shootouts but glad we got the extra point.

If Rempe gets a fine for his hit would be second non call that gets supplementary discipline from league against leafs after Marchment on McCabe.

The video of that hit would be the textbook example of a charge.

I don't usually watch sportsnet intermissions but I seen this too. I also seen Friedman chime in like dork and bend backwards to explain how it shouldn't have been. Apparently the spirit of the rule is taking about 4 guys jumping on the ice at once (according to him)?

When did he join the likes of Cox and Shannon as blatant Leaf haters with the worse takes? He wasn't this bad before was he? He was tripping over himself to talk about Rielly too, after the Greig hit.

 

[djdev]

good win

dont polute my screen screen with bruce brown, gradey can stay though.
