Post-Game Talk: Leafs win 6-5 in OT

[TMLAM34]

Was happy to see Reaves benched and only get 4 minutes in tonight’s game. The moment he got benched, double shifting guys like Jarnkrok on the fourth line gave it a jump. Hopefully this makes them realize Reaves is pure garbage at everything but fighting.

Knies with AM and MM can be best line în the nhl let the kid play there forever, but i dont know why Knies hates Tampa so much he always scores on them

Anyone else think Lagesson has played well?

Had no expectations but he's made good decisions with the puck and been decent in his own end.

He has been excellent in third pair and limited PK minutes.

I like his size. Moves well. He could grow into more minutes for sure. That being said, I miss Timmy...

And just because

Because he lost the NCAA final in Tampa.

I am disappointed by this reality. I was hoping he could some in and play 10 minutes a night and stir some shit up. It is crystal clear, he cannot play, period. Unfortunate, but that is a major swing and a miss by Tre. That is valuable cap space he is eating up (checks notes, for 3 years?!).

Maybe we should get rid of Sammy and his cap hit and bring in Zadorov

I'm all for getting rid of Samsonov. He can't stop a beach ball in too many games due to poor positioning. It's been that way since he got to our Leafs. On average, he gives up one bad/easy goal a game IMHO.

 

[TMLeafer]

The recipe for success is to start Samsonov then pulling him in the first TV timeout.

Not crazy... We still have Jones (right)? If Woll can be a confident starter, and Sammy cannot get things back on the rails, this might be the play.

That being said, I just don't see it happening... at least not yet.

 

[Teeder Keon]

Don't worry, he'll make a comeback.

At least if he’s waived, his contract can be buried. Only positive thing about his contract. Yes we want tough players but tough players that can actually play the game of hockey.

Game might be over by then.

Start Samsonov, rush the player, take a penalty and then put in Woll

Sammy is pretty scratchy looking right now. Rather Jones.

We are 12 games in, and I have seen nothing to make me feel things will change. So this might have to be the play. How long do they wait?

Leafs had pretty big overhaul. I think people are being too harsh on a lot of the new guys. The team seems to need a little more time to gel. Even a young guy full of energy like Knies had to get over the hump of his concussion

Once the team finds its groove and we start the right goalie, we will be extremely difficult to beat.

If Klingberg learns how to play defense then lookout

Maybe we should get rid of Sammy and his cap hit and bring in Zadorov

Pretty please

April 4, 2023 - Game 4 - TB leading the Leafs 4-1 in the third period until Matthews scores back-to-back goals. Leafs come back and win in OT.

Everything wrong and everything right about this team in 65 minutes.

Hopefully not much longer. Signing Reaves and trading Lafferty to make room was a mistake. Especially considering our PK hasn’t been very strong and Lafferty would have helped there.

The team knew there would be PK pain coming into the season... they openly commented on it. Not sure I was prepared for the mess that it is.

Every lane is open, almost all the time. It is gross. Not sure we have the personnel to fix it.

 

[Leafs at Knight]

Have we traded Marner yet?

 

[Evilhomer]

These guys will probably put up another 6 goals against Ottawa on Wednesday. This game should be the start of the streak.

You just had to one-up me

Games we should win pretty easily are the games this team always lose.
