I think I have more faith in woll than most here. The real test is next game. I'm only concerned if its a few games and he is one of the major reasons we lose. It wasn't long ago that we all were praying for him to be the starter in game 7.

Marner get a pass for a hectic 24 hours. And what a pass on knies' goal. Matthews seemed more involved and engaged today. The bar is on the floor these days for him. But I actually didn't mind him today. Aside from that empty net that he completely missed. Almost lost my shit.

Knies and willy, I hope your pillow is cold tonight.

It's like the Montreal series; I think Marner's numbers there would have looked better if Matthews hadn't quit 3 games in and if Hyman had any hands at all. Having Knies is a big difference, but I'd still like to see if Nylander can get Matthews going...

Matthews mentality in "big" games is all wrong. We are very lucky that Knies is taking up the mantle and being that alpha power forward from Arizona that Auston should be.

We need Bennett on our side

No we don't, we need to knock him out.

Van Ryn now talking down Savy.

 

[ToneDog]

Tkachuk tries to bully Marner at the end of the game. They did not show Marner's response.

 

[Puckstuff]

Yeeeeeeesh

Possible brain bleed. This sort of thing can happen with those sorts of dirty plays. Hope Bennet is suspended the rest of the series.

 

[SprDaVE]

Tkachuk trying to take out Marner at the end of the game...

Jesus christ lol

 

[PromisedLand]

honestly, don't want this goon on the team even if he's interested in coming here via UFA.

yup

have no respect for cheapshot artists. absolute SCUMBAG that guy is,

 

[Al14]

How did Matthews not score empty net !!

That is also my concern !!! He can't seem to hit the Atlantic ocean if he were standing on Cavendish beach !!!

We need better from him for sure !!!

Post game they're talking about it.

i'd be shocked if it's anything more than a fine.....and i doubt it's even that

 

[CanadianLov3]

I’ve been a proud Leafs fan for 28 years, and it’s something deeply personal to me…my dad introduced me to the team when I was in kindergarten, sporty little girl that loved everything about sports and watching games with him is one of my best memories. Through all the ups and downs, we’ve stood by the Leafs. I know non-Leafs fans love to chirp us for sticking with a team that hasn’t won since 1967, but that loyalty is what makes Leafs Nation special!!! It’s about hope, heart, and history and I wouldn’t trade it for anything.

Go Leafs Go!!!

[Aashir]

it's crazy how we used to struggle to score over 2 goals for almost 3 series's

i wonder why that was?

 

[BertCorbeau]

Marner made the play to spring Knies on the breakaways. Had a couple of nice feeds tonight.

100%.

Knies is now tied for 4th in scoring on the team, 3rd on his line, he's leading the way.

 

[pdson]

We need Bennett on our side

No we don't I don't want that scumbag anywhere near our team f'n puke

 

[IPS]

Can we stop with the doom and gloom? We ate their breakfast tonight. Eff em, why on earth are you scared?

I think the mood wants to be bright tonight but it just sucks so fking bad losing Stolie.

 

[SprDaVE]

Possible brain bleed. This sort of thing can happen with those sorts of dirty plays. Hope Bennet is suspended the rest of the series.

I dunno about what it is, could be precautionary...

And Bennett isn't getting suspended for a game, let alone 6 games.

 

[RayzorIsDull]

Yeah this isn't good. I'm sure Parros will shake Bennett's hand.

 

[mikeyz]

You’d never know the Leafs led this entire game from 33 seconds in all the way to the end reading through the GDT tonight.

A few things to clean up but great win by the Leafs.
This board however can do a lot better.

Hopefully Stolarz is gonna be ok for game 2, but even if not I think Woll will be ready.

The only thing that needs to be cleaned up is Woll never playing another f***ing second of this series and Stolarz coming back.

 

[Sypher04]

People are always over the top emotional when it's a playoff game. I wouldn't take anything said to seriously in the GDT.

I just despise this mindset that people always need to be shitting on someone on the team
