Post-Game Talk: Leafs win 5-4 OT

[glue]

I normally don’t hate on the refs this much, but that was unreal bad officiating all AGAINST the leafs!! They pulled this off inspite of that and same very suspect goaltending. Big kudos!

This has to change

One of the funnier games in recent memory lol

Thought Leafs took over after the first period. Completely dominated the 3rd but the refs left their whistles in the dressing room.

 

[Sittler 27]

Hope the league looks at the missed call on the high stick that bloodied the Leaf, garbage official

 

[SeaOfBlue]

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

He had some bad turnovers that almost ended up in the back of the net but then had some really good defensive plays on the same shift.

I guess if you mess up, the best you can do is make up for it on the same shift.

 

[Teeder Keon]

Not bad at all
Especially knowing what the Bs have been doing all year

The first game back aside, it has to be repeated that teams that play physical against the Leafs always gives them trouble. 36-11 in hits and another 1 goal game. I won't be convinced that being constantly hit won't wear a team down in a series. Far worse when the physical team is getting the PP opportunities

Maybe they will get lucky and draw the Devils in the playoffs. I don't want to overstate the importance but some physical presence couldn't hurt.

I also understand Keefes frustrations. The league can't have it both ways.

They were more than willing to call a ticky-tack holding call on Tavares in the first minute, but after that they decided to let the Blues do whatever they want.

Nylander,

I'm not gay but I would do things for you.

Jarnkrok with a heck of a game.
Samsonov didn't have a chance on two of those goals, but he was swimming a bit through the game.
Kamph, Engvall and Kerfoot were a force.
Brodie and Holl played a ton the last few minutes of the game. I'd like to see Keefe use Lilly a bit more in that situation. He's at the point of development where his game is solid and the next step will be when he's tasked with the important minutes late in the game. That kid is strong.
Timmins wrapping up O'Rielly in the last minute, kid has got some strength too.
I'm still very impressed with the way our D has held up with all the injuries.
Matthews...something is off. I have no idea what, but he's...can't figure it out.

Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. William Nylander.

That's what separates this team from the other teams in the playoffs imo

 

[Wendelstache]

Is Willie low key this Leaf season's MVP?

Willy has brought it this year!

 

[GQS]

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

I'm liking this setup just to lower the chance of giving up a goal early in OT. Also Liljegren looking really good defensively in 3 vs 3 play and puck possession and I hope they keep playing him in OT.

 

[PromisedLand]

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.

Yotes are leading the Avs 4-2 after the 2nd tonight. Hopefully we don't take them lightly. gotta get the 2 points against the bottom feeders

 

[definedMF]

Take aways:

Samsonov is coming back to earth and is looking weak recently.

Matthews has some poor conditioning

Nylander is the best forward playing this year next to Marner

Our bottom six is awesome, excited to see Hunt in for Anderson

 

[Alamo Leafer]

Nylander,

I'm not gay but I would do things for you.

"not that there's anything wrong with that" lol

 

[Blanche Blanche]

Refs being laxed on that pick play proves we got game 7 stolen by that WNBA subsidized joke of a team who copied our jerseys... Lightning.

NHL IS A JOKE

NYLANDER IS A BEAST

Bottom 6 looking amazing and Kerfoot was super saiyan tonight

 

[Teeder Keon]

That's what separates this team from the other teams in the playoffs imo

Totally agree
It’s our Achilles heel and Kryptonite all rolled into one
Some here just don’t get this aspect of the games in the playoffs

Washington

Philly was OK but still 3 goals 19 shots

if Vejmelka is in net were in for a long night, is elite every time we play them!

 

[Craig Button]

Is Willie low key this Leaf season's MVP?

He's been our best player after Marner this season.

Good for him.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

No it doesn't

yes he does particularly come April

 

[thewave]

Beauty goal Nylander. They got hit pretty hard, probably want to respond better going forward.
