[Teeder Keon]

[BlackAdam]

Leafs now with home ice advantage if they play the Lightning

Feels good man

It’s a three game win streak and I’m worried about the goaltending.

Good character win after giving up the two goal lead. Tavares can’t buy a goal but he had a good game.

Bye, Ovie. Damn commie.

 

[Sypher04]

Still not convinced with our goaltending

I'm not either, but it's a building block at least. Mrazek has been pretty solid for us lately. I don't hold the end of that last game really against him. Comes in cold, impossible situation, probably wants 1 of the 2 goals back, but overall he's been fairly steady for his last few starts.

How about Holl the playmaker? With a pretty pass on the GWG.

 

[Frostitute]

Nice game boys!

 

[djdev]

happy for JT, ive given him shit(which he has deserved) but he won us the game even if he was still struggling for the most part. i think this will be the start of a turnaround from him.

Hey Washington!!!!

 

[2 Slick]

Good win where they didn't dominate the entire game. The refs killed the flow of a lot of it by trying to offer up a buffet of game management in the second period, but the Leafs weren't gonna have it.

Good road win where you didn't need 40 shots and 7 goals to win.

Matthews was a monster physically tonight. He wasn't super involved offensively but he was very noticeable away from the puck. It felt like Marner was just shooting from everywhere.

Mrazek was good. First 2 goals are super tough to stop, 3rd one needs to be stopped probably. We need better but at least it was respectable.

 

[TimeZone]

JT was awesome.

Holl had his best game of the year.

Matthews was incredibly quiet.

Mrazek didn't instil any confidence.

[The Podium]

Washington played physical but I thought we dealt with it well. Matthews was throwing hits all night long too

Justin Holl looks really good

Muzzin may have been the weak link on the pairing

 

[SeaOfBlue]

Mrazek stepped up.

Wasn't the cleanest game, but none of those were particularly crap goals and he made more than enough huge saves to make up for it.

He has earned the next game.

 

[Smif]

JT got pissed. That's when you break out, when your frustration turns to just straight up pissed off. GG JT.

 

[ACC1224]

If you could combine the Caps aggression with the Leafs skill you’d have a pretty unstoppable team.

 

[frizzer1]

2nd line contributes.
Pleasant surprise.
Hope it continues.

 

[leafsfan5]

1 point behind Florida now

 

[Jacquestrapless]

Need to play more teams like the Caps. That's how all teams will play in to POs.

Also need to play like the Caps. If Leafs can't get a mean streak, add greasiness.

 

[francis246]

The negative Nancy's can take a lap

Right!

“Dubas shouldn’t trade assets to upgrade the team” crowd is gonna be upset tonight! All the team does is prove they deserve an upgrade

 

[Legion34]

I didn’t have a problem with any of the goals.

2 on 1 short handed off side shot in from 15 feet is a fine shot.

mrazek made some big saves but he looks so scrambly. We definitely need a new goalie coach. The goalies can’t find their nets.
