Post-Game Talk: Leafs win 5-4

[CelticDruid]

That was a Holl of a mess.

Kadri would suspended and Hyman on the limp.

Lol. Agrred but it is not a playoff game next week.

 

[Caroline Says ll]

Honestly this analysis of the Muzzin hit is so amateur.

Friedman is the only one to accurately point out where the principal point of contact was. The others are obsessed with head reaction - which clearly it will snap back with a large impact.

I do not understand why it has to be so complex. Was it an elbow to the face? Was it shoulder to the face? If the answers are no - move on.

Started off strong, but got outplayed after that. Lucky to get a win tonight.

Mrazek was understandably rusty, but he was the better goalie tonight and made several great saves. Hopefully he can build on that and start to take some of the load off of Campbell.

Thank God the Hollidays are coming up.

Just stay healthy and our goaltending will be fine. Need to tweak the D no matter what some think. That D is not winning us a 7 game series.

Guess who just slipped into Top10 in points?

31 points (18G) in 26 games.

Phewf!
Most annoying thing was the panel talking about muzzins hit... Like dudes, it wasn't a head shot

 

[saltming]

FYI, you would never actually see him enter said black hole, you'd see him basically stuck in stasis just outside the black hole's event horizon for the rest of your life. I hope that is still sufficient.

SCIENCE!

But posters would have the satisfaction of knowing he was spaghettified

Need to upgrade the top 4 D if we want to compete with Tampa. Forwards are fine, but Holl is out of his depth.

Or we could just keep Liljegren there since he was fine in that spot.

Holl's usage tonight was baffling...

I know right, beyond silly.

 

[Confucius]

Does anyone feel good about this win? Not me.

Well i feel better than if we had lost.

Leaf Nation will lose its sh1t if Muzz is suspended. Doubt Gary wants to go there.

 

[ToneDog]

Imagine this board if the Hawks got that break to win it 5-4.

The last 5 games are some of the worst goaltending the Leafs have had this season. Brutal.

Yeah, lucky to get the win tonight. They did not deserve it.

 

[trellaine201]

Just saw Chi 3 goal lol. What was Holl doing?? And whoever nunber 56 is slow as molasses? Lazy? Tired?

 

[Metroid]

It's all.about anti leafs nation tho!
Hfmain boards are praying to the hockey gods for a suspension, they need the extra traffic/revenue hahaha

Probably Rubins last game of this call up. He was really struggling with NHL speed tonight. Several times he had turn to skate forwards early to save from getting blown past in the neutral zone. Holl and Rubins is a bad pairing.

Holl didn't help much either. Holl was way more to blame on those 1st and 3rd goals against. He literally left his position on an even man rush in both instances leaving an open man. These are pure mental errors. What is he thinking?

Mid-game I was ready to say that Mrazek saved the Hawks getting back into the game then that fell apart later on. The 2nd and 4th goals against were kind of bad goals.

Really it's wonderful fortune to get a win from such a weak effort tonight. As long as the team recognizes that it was an ugly win, it's nice to get them and bank the points.

Convinced more than ever that we need a top 4 d. That should be Dubas’ main objective for the next few months. Bring someone in to stabilize. However huge dub. Love seeing us on the right side of these games and hanging on to win

 

[Confucius]

good teams win even when they play poorly. We are good!

 

[stickty111]

Whatever got the win. 2-2-1 playing our worst hockey of the season I will take it.
Keefe needs to stop the love affair with Holl, and if he won't, then get rid of Holl so it's not an issue.

 

[francis246]

Or we could just keep Liljegren there since he was fine in that spot.

Holl's usage tonight was baffling...

He alone isn’t going to make the defense better. We need a veteran, with size and skating ability. Keep the Liljegren and Sandin pairing together once Sandin is back they have been outstanding. But let’s be honest, we need an upgrade to the defense, our defense core is just not Stanley Cup level. We are one dman a way probably.

The only issue with Muzzin's hit is that the Chicago player was reaching for the puck in a vulnerable way and Muzzin contacted him on the back. There was no head contact there.
