Post-Game Talk: Leafs win 5-4 in OT

[ACC1224]

At this point losing Tanev would really hurt the team. That guy does so much for us.

Yep, huge loss.

 

[Budz]

Stolarz……. Wow.

Ugly win but heartening for Rielly, Marner, and Robertson.

Robertson really makes me want to keep him and see if what he can do with a better centre, and Domi on the wing.

Hoping Tanev is alright. Our RHD depth is so pitiful but this could end up being a blessing in disguise, where Tanev gets some much needed rest.

On to the next, but always a pleasure to intercourse the Bruins…..

As one of the bigger Robbie haters - if he plays with that level of physical and emotional play…

He can stay. The goal was nice, but we already knew he can shoot it.

Overtime isn't real hockey.

Fun though. Marner informed Stolarz he'd be handling the puck as the 4th player.

 

[Raging Bull]

Rare off night for McCabe.

 

[fahad203]

As someone who has picked on Robertsson many times. I must say that game was one of his best
Not beacuse he scored, but he showed some fire and tenacity

 

[Leafs98]

Still no injury news on another curious case of Willy ?

Overtime isn't real hockey.

A breakaway is the same, no matter how many players are on the ice behind you. In fact, it's one of the only goals you could say ISN'T different in overtime.

There are some thoughts that are so silly they aren't really worth addressing.

 

[arso40]

That's my guess, as well. Probably out a few weeks. It's ideal timing. He isn't needed for the regular season, and he gets rest for the long playoff run.

But he is needed or we will fall badly need another top 4 right shot

Not too sure the coach agrees with you. He did play on the top line for a lot of the third last night.

Knies and Robertson together make a lot of sense

He likely won't be out very long, and with the Leafs' schedule they really won't need him to win the division.

Obviously, a breakaway goal in overtime is less important because it wins you the game.

Had pretty much given up on Holmberg, but if he's having his McMann moment, not going to complain.

Same. He seems to be picking up momentum. (Well obviously since he connected on 2 the game before with Domi). Good for him. Showing a lot of good stuff, coming from a guy who doesn't always believe in him.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Nylander's puck handling looked really off last night in the last half of the game, in the third noticeably. I wonder if he was battling that after a slash or something so they decided to not risk it in OT.

Maybe just a bone bruise or something.

 

[Jojalu]

He likely won't be out very long, and with the Leafs' schedule they really won't need him to win the division.

The 3 games left vs Florida will be pretty important to who wins the division.

Then really the games vs TB, Vegas and the 2 against the Avs should be real tests.

 

[Hellcat]

Rare off night for McCabe.

He was playing his off side, making off side mistakes.

 

[ACC1224]

No Saturday game this week gets a big, from me.

Sunday afternoon game is odd.

I didn't realize it was an afternoon game, assumed it was at night.
That gets a
