The score flattered the Jets, we dominated.

Special team is horrendous. Teams with bad special teams don’t make deep runs, as we all know.

With that said nice to get the W and give the jets their first L.

 

[DarkKnight]

JT looks faster this year

 

[ACC1224]

Looks like Berube cut back on Marner and Matthews minutes tonight.

Giving the Jets their first loss and destroying any chance they had of breaking an NHL record for best start to a season is pretty sweet, so I'll take it.

Jets fans probably wish it was almost any other team than the Leafs that killed it. I'll take that too.

Like a young Jason Allison.

Former Captains doing Captain stuff tonight.

Well, they normally start off the year on fire and then go stone cold come the end of the season and playoffs. Maybe they are flipping the script this time around lol.

 

[Lilou]

Easy work. Leafs didn't even break a sweat.

 

[Skullz]

Great win—loved the second line.

I think Benny should sit next game.

 

[Rude Dog]

leafs own Hellybuck. I really enjoy beating the Peg. They may never lose to them again

 

[AcerComputer]

Of course the Leafs turn around and beat the best team in the league after blowing it in OT to BOS and laying an egg two games before.

I think the "best team in the league" stuff is a tad bit overblown. Has anyone looked at Winnipeg's schedule to start the season? It wasn't exactly a murderer's row. It's the same team that got embarrassed by Colorado in the first round last season.

 

[Larcos_Unal]

Underrated part of playing on the road in Winnipeg is getting to immediately leave the city right after the game.

 

[PromisedLand]

I’ll be shocked if we lose again.

We are ready!!!!!!!

this brings back memories to when we used to say this about Freddy the Goat every preseaon! lol

 

[LaPlante94]

They've been doing only special teams work for the past week, if not longer at this point.

I think the PP looked fine to be honest, especially the first PP. They had 5-6 shots? Could have easily scored there. They only got 2 PPs so it's hard to completely take a dump on them for today.

PP looked good. PK and the 6on5 defence wasn't great tbh. Cross ice passes were just too easy for them on like 2 or 3 of their goals.

Benoit was awful like he has has been all season. Maybe make a change IDK

It's funny because that happens whenever Lili is in the lineup and those same people say nothing.

 

[TopCheeseShotta]

Great thread title. Take that, Mark!

And Oh Captain, my (former) captain!!! Nice to see for hard luck Johnny..

Leafs score 6 and even Timmins can be on a winning team.

 

[Lightsol]

Happy they won, but the reffing bias against the Leafs this year is atrocious. I think they’ve had the PP advantage in 1 game out of 10…

Leafs are top 5 in minor penalties taken and 7th in total penalties taken. It's kind of crazy considering how they generally play.

 

[Mr_Fun]

Reilly has goals in 3 straight games. He was also +3 tonight. That's encouraging.

 

[LaPlante94]

Leafs score 6 and even Timmins can be on a winning team.

I hated Timmins as much as everyone else but what has he been doing wrong this season that people are still complaining? He's been fine in his role and hasn't been making the same dumb mistakes over and over again like last year. Are people this upset over Liljegren sitting who isn't anything special?

 

[Craig Button]

Looks like Berube cut back on Marner and Matthews minutes tonight.

not sure with Marner he was used a lot on the PK the PP and 5on5

Marner leads forwards with 21:22

leads Even Strength with 16:08
leads Short Handed with Matthews at 3:00

A win is a win. Would much rather be 8-1 than 5-4-1
