Post-Game Talk: Leafs win 5-4 Game 1 of Round 2

[Budz]

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.

It’s so pathetic.
Screaming idiots - with bad hot takes.

 

[Paradoc]

I'll give Woll the benefit of doubt.

He hasn't played in three weeks and came in at absolute the coldest moment.

Need a better game from him but the rest of the team did a very good job. Just need to clean our play when leading.

 

[mcleex]

Excuse me, but what the f***

This has to be a sick joke????????

 

[francis246]

People need to calm down, we were the better team and deserved that victory

Woll was always going to do it tough in this game, he hasn't played for 2 weeks and Stolarz didn't look like he was going to give him an opportunity to play
Of course he's rusty

He will be better for having played this game and he knows he's going in the next game, he's a talented kid who's actually done pretty well in similar situations
Give him a chance

Honestly if Bennett doesn’t get at least a couple of games for deliberately targeting our starting goaltenders head I'd put somebody in with the instructions that if a game gets out of hand they have the green light to attack one of Florida's best players and try to put them out of the series

You can't let that **** stand

Do you think Bennett will realistically get suspended?

 

[PromisedLand]

I'll cut Woll some slack, coming in mid game.

I hope he picks it up for game 2. Here's to hoping Stolarz isn't out long.

they didn't even let him warm up. he just started playing b/c leafs were on PP. it was crazy. I've never seen a goalie come in mid-game and get no warm up unless the goalie was pulled by the coach

Don't even think most of the goals outside of one was his fault. The Leafs were also doing a terrible job of not getting caved in until Pats, Rielly and Nylander did something.

 

[Rare Jewel]

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

Stop being so sensitive

If it were a perfect game, it would've been 5-0.

 

[Aashir]

woll needs to be sharp in game 2

he was bad, awful even this game but it was his first in like a month so I will give him a bit of a pass (after cooloing off lol).

need him and line 1 to step their game way up

 

[Cleetus]

Only one guy on this board could have predicted a 5-4 Leafs win tonight.

where is evilhomer? lol

 

[jamo27]

I think we have the better team, but the power play needs to be better and I’d like to see 34 and 16 find a higher gear. We are going to win this series.

 

[francis246]

Excuse me, but what the f***

He’s vomiting after a brain injury, that’s an automatic ER visit for an MRI/CT

 

[Commander Clueless]

Great win tonight, but I'm beyond ticked at Sam Bennett.

 

[WilliamInLondon]

It has to be something else.

I'm hoping it's a bad case of food poisoning and dehydration or something * shrug *. He'd be ready by Game 3 if that were the case or something

 

[centipede2233]

Bennett needs to be suspended, a direct intent to injure to the head of a defensless goalie….

 

[ToneDog]

Nylander and Knies: Clutch again.

The Brick Woll will make an appearance Game # 2.

Next game roll with a de facto 11-6 and dress Reaves. Instructions should be: When play shifts back to our end, you go smoke Bob and make sure he doesn’t come back until October.

He better because game #2 is huge.

 

[colchar]

Hildeby is your potential future. Murray did well but Hildeby is better now and moving forward.

I don't care about the future right now, I care about this series. This isn't the time to get him some experience.

 

[ACC1224]

Had a couple grade A chances and just couldn’t finish.

Him and Marner need to be better or the end result won’t be the same in game 2.

At worst, he has to hit that empty net and ice it.

 

[Leafs98]

I still think Sens D was better than Panthers

 

[HellasLEAF]

Florida was exactly what we remember them as. A mix of gutter hockey, size and skill. Now complete with the Boston rat.

Thought they would have waited until game 2 to take a player out of the game but they were getting desperate down 4 - 1.

What a disgrace of a hockey club.

I never cheered once for Bennet in 4 Nations. Sorry, blue and white runs deeper than that 4 team mini tourney.

[BallardEra]

Do you think Bennett will realistically get suspended?

Very possible based on what the word is on Stolarz.

 

[Mr_Fun]

Do you think Bennett will realistically get suspended?

If I had to put money on it, I'd say no.

 

[LeafEgo]

Rough 3rd, but Knies is just built different.

Don’t know why people are shitting their pants about Woll in net, he’s been lights out in two playoff series where he’s taken over the net. Injuries were always going to happen, that’s just another thing you’ve got to overcome on your way.

This is going to be a hard, hard series, and this is a better start than 0-1. Go Leafs Go

I have faith in Woll, but like, it was better when we had the two of them.

 

[Gallagbi]

Do you think Bennett will realistically get suspended?

No chance. Swap jerseys though and the panel wouldn't have stopped talking about it.

 

[SprDaVE]

I don't care about the future right now, I care about this series. This isn't the time to get him some experience.

Murray sucks even more, so it really isn't much of a decision. He can't move in net at all and certainly wouldn't give you better goaltending anyway.
