Post-Game Talk: Leafs win 4-3

[Blanche Blanche]

Nice heads up by Holl... Our d needs to clean it up. But wow

Redemption by Bunting, and Papi.

Kerfoot is buzzing but is curses. Hopes he breaks the curse.

Reilly is still shaky but that PP quarter back pass was sleek to setup that goal.

NICE WIN BOYS

@Confucius Beginning of the dam bursting for Matty?!

 

[HogTown06]

What a game!!!

I missed the 1st period but holy smokes the last 5 minutes were a beauty!

Not sure what was better Kampf's pass or Matthews' goal.

Go Leafs Go!

[LaPlante94]

Did we only have 10 shots combined in the 1st and 3rd period?

 

[DarkKnight]

Biblical filth.

Hopefully you can’t keep a good man down forever

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Know Devils fans wanted this because they still feel screwed by our victory months ago on all those called back goals.

 

[Stephen]

The first half of that game looked like it could be an opportunistic playoff road win, shut down the opposition with smothering defense, goaltending, win 1-0, 2-1 type affair.

The second half was like a sluggish track meet, both teams knocking over every barrier in the worst hurdles race.

Holmberg looks a lot worse than the last time we saw him.

Matthews really needed that goal. Very opportune PP and GW goal.

Nylander seems to be falling into bad habits, taking that penalty after the 4 minute kill only to have Marner bail him out.

Rielly looked pretty good in the first half of the game and much worse in the second half.

Kerfoot and Holl, see game notes.

McCabe is solid.

Are Acciari, Lafferty starting to lose their personality as they settle into Leaf red shirt roles?

 

[Gary Nylund]

Fun game! Memorable highlight plays on all goals - the Nylander pass for the first goal, Marner's beauty goal, Holl's slick pass setting up the 3rd and finally Matthews. I guess that one is the #1 highlight because it was the winner and because we're all pulling for Matthews to start scoring again.

So these guys still do know how to play the game, good to know. Nice road win!

 

[Jojalu]

Holl with a great pass on the tying goal but on for all 3 against. Rough night for him and Holmberg.

Call up McMann.

Pretty sure McMann is still injured

Suck a big one odog

He was saying that all day, feels like a huge blowout coming, hoping for the reverse jynx.

 

[ULF_55]

Sammy,Marner and Nylander x 3 stars

I go grab some dinner come back and they've blown it.

I have to be happy now.

Buggers.

A 3-2 road trip is something you'll take pretty much everytime. I don't care what anyone says - Sammy won that one for us in the 1st period. Also, I'm not sure how he gets blamed for a puck that Holmy tios in, but whatever.

Walker. Hahahahahahahaha

 

[Leaffan1991]

McCabe is underrated. What a great pickup especially at 2 million for the next couple of years! He looks like the best all around Defenceman that we have.

 

[Isaac Nootin]

Kerfoot was great.

Wasn't good at all, IMO.

He can't be 1LW anymore. Experiment should end immediately.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Elite IQ play by Bunts to let that pass go through his legs to Matthews

 

[fahad203]

Still not happy with Auston's performance. I know he scored but man he can't be invisible for 98% of the game
Same with Bunting. For someone who's supposed to be difficult to play against, he's not very difficult to play against.

I know people are going to say, dont' complain about a win. But man that was ugly and so underwhelming

Marner has been mr.consistent for us. Dude is just on another level

Whoa, who the heck was that?

 

[Brown Dog]

Fun game. Great win.

 

[Enniskillen]

No ROR, no JT. Leafs still beat top 5 team in the league. However I have strong suspicion that players ensure wins despite the coach’s sketchy decisions.
