Good win. Murray was good and needed to be too at times.

Also what a game by our captain again. Johnny T 1+2 did his thang. For real. He is the solitude of greatness.

Reminded me of this:

Nhlpowerweek;

Big up JT.....!! Also , shout out to our boy Jarny for matching JT with the 1+2.. dominant linemates right now.

 

[Nhlpowerweek]

They bout their money sire! hard

 

[Macallan18]

you think he could afford a decent haircut

 

[meefer]

Elite win.


BTW- Torts is not an elite coach.

Agree on the Torts take.

 

[kevsh]

Two takeaways:
1) I didn't even know they were playing, but good they won again.
2) Timmins has 10 points in 14 games?!?!

 

[Larcos_Unal]

Agree on the Torts take.

Torts is the guy you hire when you're a GM/Owner who hates each and every one of your players

 

[LeafsandSharksfan]

Pushing Torts one more step towards retirement, a win for all concerned.

What's this ? I heard Philly lost ? lol

 

[JT AM da real deal]

Solid game again for 1st time in quite some time folks .. Timmins can't come out he brings a strong puck game and solid defensively .. Lily and Sandin were a bit off .. Rielly looked a bit better (good sign he is improving his conditioning when he feels he can go back to PP1) .. Gio again looked good again (very likely was his partner) .. Holl was ok again (stayed in his capabilities) .. Murray was fine (made saves he needed to make) .. overall all forward lines contributed .. I can see Keefer is likely gonna take out Lily when Brodie comes back which would be a mistake it should be Holl .. but overall much better game of hockey

Mid season record comparison - Last 3 years.

2022-23 ... 41 games 25 wins 9 losses 7 OTL = 57 points
vs.
2021-22 ... 41 games 28 wins 10 losses 3 OTL = 59 points
2020-21 ... 41 games 28 wins 10 losses 3 OTL = 59 points

The more things change the more they stay the same in the regular season.

Leafs win. Packers lose. What a perfect night.

Leafs win. Packers lose. What a perfect night.

Felt the same if you sub the Patriots in for the Packers.
Jets killed me though(as expected). I will now forever hate them for that.

 

[Clark4Ever]

Good to see the Leafs bounce back over the weekend and take care of business the way they should against inferior opponents.

Best dog snarfing I have ever seen

 

[HockeyMad68]

With the exception of Marner's turnover that led to the Flyers 1st goal, what else about it was ugly?

That guy scarfing the hot dog

Zany, but I knew we were pooched when we needed the Jets to win.

Hopefully this means Matt Canada is fired and they strengthen th offensive line . Nice seasons for Pickett, Pickens, and Najee and reason to be optimistic a better season is coming next season.

Just not good enough now though.

We've been spoiled over the years. Going into the season, I never would have believed they would have finished 9-8 with a playoff shot on the last weekend.
Disappointing but I'll take it. I'd rather they go out with a win than get spanked by the Bills again next weekend.

I can see them challenging Cincinnati for the Division next year.

Agree on the Torts take.

He's a guy that did a thing one time. Clearly it was 'lightning in a bottle'.

Two takeaways:
1) I didn't even know they were playing, but good they won again.
2) Timmins has 10 points in 14 games?!?!

That is what (way) above average puck movers do. They end up with points because their first pass allows other guys to generate directly from it.

I love how this becomes a problem when Murray becomes a Leaf.

At least Toronto is having a great regular season so they can first make the playoffs.

Would you rather see them with a record of 18-18-3 with 39 points and in 24th overall like Ottawa is. During the offseason they were expected to be a playoff contender due to the "Summer of Dorion".

 

[Not My Tempo]

Next time the Leafs play the Wild, I want Murray to knock the net off every single time the Wild enter the zone, just so I can witness Russo having a full blown meltdown on Twitter.
