Post-Game Talk: Leafs win 7-3. Coleslaw Cauliflower loses big.

[BayStBullies]

Woll carried hard and the better team took it from there.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Domi looked like complete ass tonight lol.

Seriously, he played like he was drunk. Guy kept falling and losing the puck.

At this point, I'm hoping TOR gets an upgrade at 3C and moves him to the wing. Hopefully he'll be better there.

Kind of seeing how Domi hasn’t gotten a deal with term

Sometimes players just own certain teams, and Nylander seems to really bring it against MTL.

It's funny, too, because some Habs fan on TSN.ca's comment section used to constantly run him down ten years ago. TSN shut down the comment section of its site years ago. I wonder what he would say now... haha.

 

[Blanka]

I'd be very pleased if this was the very first game of a 10-game losing streak for the Habs because we broke their spirit.

 

[ToneDog]

Jesus, was @Evilhomer right TWO games in a row? This must be the end times. Quick, predict that the Leafs will win the cup.

I believe has already predicted it.

 

[Guided by Veseys]

I love that Willy goal because Anderson gave up the puck. He’s been running after Willy for years it seems, throwing him off his game; bit of maturity on display tonight in scoring such a dominant goal.

 

[Ianturnedbull]

I am elite...

 

[ACC1224]

Not often you score 7 and you can say the goalie was a big part of the win. That game could have been really ugly if not for Woll keeping them in it.

His default setting is Kerfoot without hockey sense. Domi doesn't even seem to bring that snarl with any kind of consistency.

 

[BertCorbeau]

I love how the box score says the Leafs got two PP goals and two shorties

 

[ThrowDemTongs]

I was wrong. I said we'd win 5-3. Sorry.

Don't let it happen again

 

[TonsofPuppies]

I believe has already predicted it.

f*** me, the prediction had to happen now. If it happened already, it's guaranteed we're a first round out.

 

[ThrowDemTongs]

I love how the box score says the Leafs got two PP goals and two shorties

You just know Nylander's gonna be getting more than a couple shorties after tonight

 

[Evilhomer]

I believe has already predicted it.

They will, but this game won't have anything to do with it.

 

[wingman75]

I believe has already predicted it.

When you do it every year, does it really count?

 

[Americanadian]

Rollercoaster game. Leafs spend most of the game searching for offense and Rielly only gets 16 minutes. Very telling.

 

[ChurchOfMatthews]

Watching the Habs fan on their board going from "we're going to win the cup" to "trade everybody" made my night. Never change Scab fans.

P.S. Your team is hot trash and you'll be a cellar dweller for the considerable future. Oh ya I almost forgot... Matthews > Laine every day of the week.

 

[Clark4Ever]

The most satisfying win of the season. The boys showed some heart tonight when the chips were down.

Nothing better than a Leaf win in Montreal on a Saturday night.

 

[budzz]

Well that was fun to watch. Even after one I was pissed but had the feeling the boys had an extra gear.

Woll, what can you say... tough first for the team but he battles. Has a Grant Fuhr vibe... no matter what you give up you dig in for the next barrage. Impressive for a young guy, who was hung out to dry a bit in the first but battled hard. Nice win boys!

 

[Jojalu]

They beat Montreal a bunch of times last season, too. Did that impact what happened in May?

Look, I'm the bozo who said the Leafs would win when it was 3-0, and even I don't think this game means anything. It keeps them well ahead of Florida. That's important, but that's all this game means.

To highlight the point, the Leafs scored 6 goals against Buffalo in a game in December. Did that wake the offense up? The reality is that the offense is fine.

Again. It's a hated rival. It doesn't matter when the game is played. It will not change anything come May but if you understand the importance of rivalry games you would know.

Michigan won the National Championship last year. Had a shit season but beat Ohio State. Fans were happy.

Packers/Bears

Some games transcend others.

Beating the Habs is always special

 

[wingman75]

Rollercoaster game. Leafs spend most of the game searching for offense and Rielly only gets 16 minutes. Very telling.

The very FIRST signs of accountability all season. MOAR

 

[Guided by Veseys]

McMann looked incredibly poised on the pp tonight. He had really quick movement and vision playing with the big boys. High iq plays.

 

[torontoblood]

2 straight comeback wins for our Leafs!

Woll and our elite forwards Made the difference. They played like gamebreakers and won the game because of their much more superior talent, skill and finishing. Habs had a lot of scoring chances and they tested woll often, but woll like a wall, didn’t break. Habs lack pure scorers who can finish passing plays and bury scoring opportunities. Montembeault is not the man for them in goal, should have put promising rookie Jakub Dobes in net instead. He beat great teams recently and has great statistics.

Props to Tanev, McMann and OEL

 

[ToneDog]

They will, but this game won't have anything to do with it.

Anything is possible. Has any team won 1 round in 9 tries and gone on to win a SC? We will see.
