Post-Game Talk: Leafs win 5-3

[djdev]

Maybe gets him going.

i think so, hit that post too. all good signs.

 

[TheShape]

That win felt good. F the caps, what a bunch of goons.

 

[Stephen]

Man I hope that game shakes the monkey off JTs back.

Seems like getting dumped by Wilson really woke Tavares up at the end of the game. But the behind the net pass to Nylander to get the first goal was nice too.

 

[wingman75]

Good win. 2nd period was less than stellar. Nice to see JT getting rewarded for some hard work. Also good to see the team find a win without any PP help... going to need that come playoff time.

 

[93LEAFS]

Strong game by Tavares even if he remains snake bitten goal wise.

The amount of tips we allow around the net still alarms me.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Fairly sure Engvall - Kampf - Kase have fairly good numbers too.

Seems like Engvall and Kampf just work together.

The Leafs third line is pretty underrated .. They defend really well, push the pace of the game, and can generate some momentum on their forecheck, occasionally chipping in the odd goal.

Every time we play them it reminds me of the 2017 playoffs and how my ex and I were so toxic near the end, I wasn't allowed to watch the games on the big tv. Had to watch on my laptop with headphones and still got yelled at for being too loud. Find someone who genuinely shares your interests, not just pretends so you will like them. Anyways, good win.

A solid 56.4% for that combo, but that's nowhere near the domination of this trio really.

 

[Leaf Rocket]

I can't believe I am saying this...but good job Holl. Credit must be given where credit is due but he did good IMO.

 

[Cleetus]

Great game by the Captain, thought Engvall looked good too

 

[Ashdown2]

Never, ever, never, ever separate this line ever again.

can u do the same with holl and sandin ? seems like they are magic together

 

[Gallagbi]

Oh and shoutout to Holl for his setup on the winner.. Beautiful vision. And scored too on a nice read.

Who doesn't love a good D to D pass below the hashmarks

 

[zeke]

Bunting - Matthews - Marner
Nylander - Tavares - Kase
Engvall - Kampf - Mikheyev
Robertson - Kerfoot - Simmonds

?

I like it.

Feel free to swap spezza/simmonds as needed.

 

[Cecithepylon]

This holl can stay

 

[ACC1224]

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

Great play there by Holl and Tavares.

 

[Jacquestrapless]

Send Robertson down. Why is he getting 5min of icetime. How is this good for his development?

 

[leafsfan5]

Caps tried to get big and bad, with all sorts of help from the refs, but the Leafs' toughness pushed back and their skill took over.

Nice win.

Soft sked coming up its time to go streaking.

No kidding schedule wise

Next 11 we play 1 elite team (CAR),2 playoff team (NSH, DAL) and 7 bottom teams (BUF x2,SEA,ARZ,CBJ, MON, NJ, VAN)

We should be number 1 in the division by the end of it

 

[Man Bear Pig]

Neither would want to go there, would serve no purpose. Game was over and Wilson was looking for a hat trick.

I'm aware, I'll just take any shot at Wilson that I can. I'd love to have the guy on this team. Until then, I hate him.

 

[Leafs at Knight]

Never, ever, never, ever separate this line ever again.

I mean Kase will be back on that line probably next game, sorry to be a buzz kill.

 

[Mattfan02]

1 win away from taking the divion lead

 

[lipstickjunkie]

Tavares' best game in a couple months, probably. Holl's best game of the season.

This is our chance to make our move for sure.

 

[Man Bear Pig]

It's silly to me too. Put him in the top 6 or send him down. What's he going to learn on the 4th line?

 

[Gallagbi]

Strong game by Tavares even if he remains snake bitten goal wise.

The amount of tips we allow around the net still alarms me.

Ever consider they just go in at a more frequent rate against us?

 

[djdev]

Two assists, a post, a few great chances and an important backcheck to stop a great chance at 3-3. Tough crowd.

to be fair outside of the nice assist and a few good shifts late in the 3rd that line didnt play all that well imo. his shift 4v4 was fantastic though and i hope it gets him going.
