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

[colchar]

And how many actual goals did he score?

'Expected' is such a pathetically f***ing stupid stat.

 

[Maple Leaf]

Honestly, the objective should be to win. If they are winning big at some point they should exact some revenge. Florida is a dirty team full of rats. Where was Paul Maurice's balls/backbone when he coached the Leafs all those years ago? Guy was a complete p***y.

he realized you gotta cheat to win

 

[GlitchMarner]

Great to start this series off with a win.

Excellent game by Nylander and the second line. They drove the win.

Toronto dominated the first and was clearly the better team through two (especially at ES).

The third was kind of a mess, but third periods like that seem to be common for teams having multi-goal leads after two periods this spring.

Hopefully Stolarz will be okay and good to start the next game.

They do need to be better on the PP and to make sure they hit the next empty net they take a shot on.

Lastly, f*** Sam Bennett. I'm sure he's used to getting away with shit. I really doubt he'll be reprimanded in any way. What a dickhead.

That is all.

How has Murray been this year? With his experience he might be a better option than Hildy, provided he can play.

He's tearing up the AHL, but not sure how that translates.

 

[Zero1]

I don’t know what it costs but Knies needs to be signed for full term. Slap the C on his chest too.

I love watching Nylander and Knies play playoff hockey. I don’t know what the other two stars were doing tonight.

 

[SprDaVE]

Rosehill would have heard it from the same sources as the rest of us but claims 'he is hearing' as if he is somehow in the know.

What? He's the first one that tweeted it and it's pretty much confirmed. It's not a big deal, relax.

 

[IPS]

This really is the thing about playing against Florida vs playing against Ottawa.

It's all the f***ery from the outside with the refs/league that makes maintaining focus very difficult. The league doesn't give a shit about Ottawa and just goes on as normal.

[Clark4Ever]

F-ck me. It didn't seem that bad initially.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

so now Woll needs to play pretty much no matter what.

Hildeby is not an option.

Woll needs to play it's that simple he needs to go until Stolarz is ready

 

[Kiwi]

exactly people need to stop panicking...
luostarinen goal, it a very hard save to do

3th goal: more a defensive disorganisation than a bad goal... Just way too much time to take a shot from circle and it was a great shot...

The only one i'm more concerned was th 4th goal where he didn't look in good position even with deflection...

His timing was way off, at least now he's seen some action and he's going to be in the right head space knowing he's starting next game

 

[Cleetus]

Would expect nothing less from a classless jackass

 

[francis246]

Paul Maurice is actually a clown.

 

[Rare Jewel]

It’s has absolutely nothing to do with being sensitive nor did I claim it was a perfect game but thanks.

You're welcome, I didn't say that you did.

But I do see you go after people or make comments about another posters for being critical even if it is merited.

 

[DarkKnight]

To be fair, the last goal was a nothing shot along the ice that got deflected up high. 2nd goal sucked for sure, but the other two were tough to stop

If he's out more it just hits him. That's half of Stiolarz's game. When Woll is out, he money. When he's defensive, those go in. I'm not shitting on him, tough spot, but he was shakey as f*** to me in there. Some choice rebounds as well. Anyways, I have faith he will be better next game, he's a gamer.

 

[yubbers]

If Stolarz out for the series I would unleash Reaves in the 2nd game I swear. But we all know that's not happening.

Literally what I thought. Take a 5 mins major to start game 2.

Need time for blood to be scraped off the ice

 

[Mugzy97]

The vomiting and the stretcher screams neck injury to me. Hopefully he’s ok

 

[NotNotALeafsFan]

Is there video of the Domi cross checking penalty? From what I saw on TV, definitely wasn’t a penalty, but maybe I missed the actual penalty?

 

[crump]

Paul Maurice looks like his soul and shriveled like a prune having to defend those sh$87

 

[IPS]

No hurt feelings whatsoever, nor have I claimed criticism isn’t okay. Nice job entirely missing the point

No I don't think I did. There's a very common trend with you - you absolutely despise criticism of Matthews and want none of it.

He deserves it, get over it.

 

[Remu]

Had my first goosfraba of this series and its only game 1. Probably gonna need therapy after this. f*** Paul Maurice f*** S*m Bennett.

 

[PromisedLand]

f***ING COWARDS YOU KNOW THEY ARE HIDING THAT POS BECAUSE THEY KNOW WHAT HE DID IS INTENTIONAL

 

[IPS]

Yeah, like that cement head has any sources.

Chris Johnston also reported it too...

 

[ChurchOfMatthews]

Christ the ads on this website have become so obnoxious.

I've never seen a single one on my pc.

 

[DarkKnight]

And how many actual goals did he score?

'Expected' is such a pathetically f***ing stupid stat.

He has looked pretty good though, eye test he's winning his fair share and doing well defensively. I say this as someone who eyes bleed at the sight of him earlier this year.
