Post-Game Talk: Leafs win 4-3

Happens a day after. Wow
Also Matt Murray

 

[rocketman588]

On a role and I think I like that we're needing to grind it out more this year

Murray needs to knock it off with the hitting the net off shit though he's going to get a rep and get penalized doing it by accident at the wrong time

 

[Jojalu]

Really not looking forward to seeing Kallgren tomorrow. I know it was reported that Samsonov won't play on this road trip but maybe he's ahead of schedule?

Keefe didn't rule out Murray because of the day/night factor.

But I hope Samsonov can play.

Such a bittersweet moment....

 

[AvroArrow]

Does everyone here apologize to Dubas now or is it too early ? Murray and Samsonov have both been phenomenal, Campbell walking was the best thing to happen this off-season.

 

[SeaOfBlue]

Good games from Murray, Nylander, Marner.

The Leafs D by team committee seems to keep working well. This is exactly what they need to keep doing into the playoffs too.

I want to see Timmins in there for Hollowell, but otherwise it is looking pretty good. Hollowell hasn't been bad, per say, but he is not really playing any kind of hard minutes right now either. I think Mete-Timmins could chew up more minutes and they have more upside as a pairing.

Jarnkrok had arguably his best game, so maybe give him a stretch as the 2LW. That could mean Malgin draws in on the Holmberg line instead of Robertson, as the 3RW on a more offensive line. Maybe what he and Kerfoot need to convert more of their chances.

Simmonds made a few nice plays, including the one on the GWG, but even physically he is not much of a factor anymore and should only come in sparringly.

Other than the last play, Sandin-Liljegren were excellent too.

 

[Mr_Fun]

Give Sandin some time to adjust and I bet it'll look just fine in a few games.

.
We need patience with these guys. You can't expect them to fit right in for a while on the PP especially

Really liked him as a Leaf. Hard to believe he played for so many teams.

 

[Jojalu]

The man's like 60, it's Robert Zombie now.

"His name is Robert Zombie"

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Leafs played surpingly well today considering it was a 2 pm game and gutted out a win Murray didn't have to make a ton of big saves but when he needed to make the big one.

He made the BIG one.

 

[Al14]

With a half decent power play, that game didn't have to be a nail biter.

Congrats to Matt Murray for beating his old goal tending teammate!

 

[wingman75]

Grosse victoire !

Excellent road game. Big saves from the # 1 tendy, depth scoring, top of the roster scoring, what else could anyone want? And all that missing your top 3 D.

Matthews continues to be a concern for me.

 

[GoonieFace]

So to sum it up:

Play bunch of scrubs on D
Work hard on team defence
Success

Very crafty indeed like Stan weir lol

 

[TheTotalPackage]

Yeah, I never find these types of mystical things just a coincidence.

 

[TMLeafer]

This team is getting scrappy wins with a hobbled defense and depth goalies for a lot of the season. This is without the Rocket winner playing at his best. Heck yeah boys

Huge game for Murr there. Made the B-way stop on the peeper as well as the massive robbery there at the end. Hell of an effort all things considered really. Our D is thinnnnnnnnn right now, and we are still well into the fight.

Really cannot ask for much more given all of the circumstances. Just a hell of a road win.

My god though, when Sandin stepped on that stick blade I almost gave up. Made me realize we really are 1 injury away from having a Vancouver Canucks level D-corps (or worse). Hopefully we can get Timmons up to speed here soon lol, at this rate we may need him.

get the fellas some beers for the plane, they earned it.

Lets finish off the good week with a big time W tmw night against the Pens

Too early.

Remember Soup had a .953 November last year himself.

 

[Bellzy]

I want to see this Murray save. Missed it.

 

[supermann_98]

Missed the first 2 periods but happy to watch an exciting 3rd period.

How was Murray not a top 3 star? He was incredible. Cheating a lil bit yeah but w/e those saves were huge

Sandin and Liljegren may be our top D pairing sooner rather than later.

Matthews has lost his confidence, he's passing off the puck so quickly and I wish he'd just hold onto it and play keep away a bit more to make a play. He'll get his mojo back I'm sure but I've never seen him play so tentatively on offense.

Kerfoot with only 13:26 ice time, only Simmonds and Holmberg played less. Maybe Keefe is finally seeing what we're all seeing in that he's a useless $3.5m plug

 

[Teeder Keon]

Our Leafs
climbing the standings

Perfect hockey tribute to Borje.

 

[Burnie97]

Murray really looking good. Huge save at the end. Those are exactly the saves you need. Let in 3 sure but made the save that matters. Not only that he didn't let in any softies.

Leafs playing a good team D. Funny they aren't scoring at will but they seem to be playing more of that playoff type hockey.

Leafs like November. Keep it going. Pitts tomorrow at 7pm. Cheers. Good W. Now back to my day time drinking.
