Post-Game Talk: Leafs win 5-4 OT

[SprDaVE]

Samsonov was really off tonight and the team overall felt a little off compared to the last few weeks but overall a good road game.

Matthews seemed off tonight too.

Is Willie low key this Leaf season's MVP?

 

[Burnie97]

Bit of a rough go but got it done. WILLLLLYYYYY. What a f***ing beauty goal.

On to Thursday against Zona. Better be ready to go that night.

GLG.

 

[Dekes For Days]

Blues certainly paid the refs off with all of their Christmas money, but what a play by Willy at the end there.

 

[TMLeafer]

Terrific goal by Willy! Samsonov looked shaky, and the refs were on one tonight.

 

[Dave92]

Nylader taking some of Matthews contract money next summer.

 

[DraftSchmaft]

Keefe should be fired benching that nylander guy in the final minutes of the 3rd

 

[keonsbitterness]

Great job by Willy schooling Tarasenko.

 

[mikeyz]

I know they won, but Samsonov is starting to give me flashbacks to Campbell.

that's concerning

Especially if Murray gets hurt

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Leafs are 2-0 in OT since the “start defensive players” strategy was implemented. Keep it up.

i dont give a f*** - willy the best player for the leafs this year.

Keefe continues to disrepect him by not putting him out in the last few minutes.


Mitch with a horrible pass again but thankfully it wasn't taken advantage off.

f*** the refffs - matthews get you shit together and please start murray for the next little while.

 

[BertCorbeau]

f*** Willy that was a beautiful winner

 

[Racer88]

Especially if Murray gets hurt

When Murray gets hurt

Beautiful goal by Willie, absolutely humiliated Vlad

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Could have been a lot smoother if referees could be remotely competent

 

[1specter]

Samsonov was really off tonight and the team overall felt a little off compared to the last few weeks but overall a good road game.

Matthews seemed off tonight too.

I actually thought Matthews looked pretty dominant but couldn't buy a goal. Not a great game from Sammy though

 

[ChicagoBlues]

Vladimir Tarasenko told me to tell you....."You're welcome."

ok bye

 

[SmoggyTwinkles]

And we gain a point on the Broons

I don't know how that is possible.

 

[Griffin76]

I know they won, but Samsonov is starting to give me flashbacks to Campbell.

that's concerning

That's only 2 bad games so far. I think we should give him a little more.

 

[Pete2000]

f*** the Blues
f*** the Refs
f*** Binnington

f*** ME!

hey! wait! I had nothing to do with it!

Really gutty, road win tonight. They just hung around and even though things were sloppy and sluggish the Leafs found a way to get the 2 points.

Samsonov was pretty bad tonight. Really happy feet throughout and just not a lot of structure to his game, clinging close to the ice for safety and conceding view angles and the top corners. Really swimming all over the place. But gotta give him credit for bending but not breaking. I just keep flashing back to St. Louis games over the years when it rains it pours and he could have really let things get away but didn't.

Nylander. Pay that man his money.

 

[Dayjobdave]

What a great play by Nylander

We were the better team in OT as well. Blues had a couple decent looks but nothing that dangerous.
