Post-Game Talk: Leafs win 5-3

[Teeder Keon]

I want a Chiarot/Manson and a greasy/big banger for line 2 in the Crouse/Maroon mould and I'm buying the first round at the parade.

Ohhh yes , I’ll get you a seat on the float man

 

[Confucius]

The Caps never had the lead.

My bad, well they had a tie and momentum but then their bubble burst

 

[ACC1224]

We felt like it was a guarantee he played last game and it never happened.

If Campbell is in net next game too, have to start considering Keefe is playing a negative role.

I think the are just playing every other game at this point. I would fully expect Campbell to start

 

[Man Bear Pig]

I don't know if he can be DeBrincat exactly. DeBrincat has a very Kerfoot-like ability to handle the puck at speed with a lot of precision. Robertson hasn't yet shown the ability to be that primary puck carrier in the very short time he's been up at the NHL level, so we'll have to see if that emerges.

I don't think they're exactly alike, but I think Robertson is capable of being the trigger man on his line. He's tiny like Debrincat, and both have an incredible shot. It's a waste having him up to play minimal minutes.

 

[LeafalCrusader]

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

Could have at least given him power play time over Simmonds FFS.

 

[Aashir]

I think holl, Tavares, and mrazek deserve apologies

all were studs

Marner was Marner
Bunting was bunting
Matthews showed a physical side to himself


Now let’s catch those p***ycats

 

[Nylander88]

Good game all around. Need to be tougher for the playoffs stil. A fiesty winger is needed for sure

 

[Man Bear Pig]

He’s not going to play if he doesn’t have a two way game

Are Nylanders and Tavares' two way games any better at this point?

 

[ACC1224]

My bad, well they had a tie and momentum but then their bubble burst

Agreed they did. Credit to the Leafs for pulling it back. Bunting and Simmonds standing up just before the winning goal was a big moment. Good to see some pushback.

 

[93LEAFS]

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

Yes, its still a very alarming amount to allow. The goaltending is bad, but the D needs to step it up clearing out people trying to tip shots.

 

[ACC1224]

Are Nylanders and Tavares' two way games any better at this point?

Yeah they’re pretty good. I don’t get the connection to Robertson?

 

[Buds17]

Can't complain about another win and good start from Mrazek.

 

[Teeder Keon]

We had 23 hits tonight , I think that’s a great sign !!!!!
Many ways to play tough hockey , tonight we are beasts with mental toughness and desire and will and we didn’t look out of place when it got rough like in the past

Flowers to Holl and Engvall for now !!!!
Way to go boys

 

[LeafChief]

Florida has lost 3 in a row (all at home). Have to believe they are thinking about blowing it up right now.

 

[Cleetus]

oh my Teeder giving props to the Elite Engvall

 

[Holls Blackmail]

JT in the last 15 minutes of the 3rd period was fantastic. His shot off the iron was full of confidence. His hustle and engagement was top notch.

Thanks Wilson.

 

[Marshy]

I know I'm not the only one imagining Wendel on line 2 steamrolling Bruce Bell, Face-pounding McSorely and going roof-daddy on Millen.

 

[Teeder Keon]

oh my Teeder giving props to the Elite Engvall

I’m an honest fan , he deserves it with his recent play and todays game …..
He deserved the shhhhhh earlier this year and most of his NHL career …
I’ll never just throw dirt for no reason
Cheers

You think Robertson is going to stand in the garbage area or dig in the corner (and come out with the puck)? Simmonds has a place on the 2nd PP.

 

[Teeder Keon]

Imagine him on line 2 this year wow

 

[Rude Dog]

So happy for JT. That may have been his best shift as a Leaf.

 

[Maplebeasts]

You think Robertson is going to stand in the garbage area or dig in the corner? Simmonds has a place on the 2nd PP.

No he doesn't. Robertson has a very dangerous shot and has real offensive skill. You don't plug a fourth liner like Simmonds on the powerplay because he's tough.

 

[Maplebeasts]

What’s the point of Roberson playing 5 minutes?

I think it's pretty obvious the team has him up solely due to illness running through the team right now. They clearly aren't interested in giving him a chance right now.

 

[Holls Blackmail]

No he doesn't. Robertson has a very dangerous shot and has real offensive skill. You don't plug a fourth liner like Simmonds on the powerplay because he's tough.

Have you ever screened a goalie?

Not being a dick, honestly asking.
If you haven't, you're not going to understand how important that is when you're the only one on the team who'll do it.
