Post-Game Talk: Leafs Win!!! Defeat Habs 5-4 in OT

[The Blueprint]

Everything went wrong AND..... WE STILL WON PLAN THE PARADE BABY LETS GOOO

 

[MSZ]

The Leafs outscored the Habs 4-1 after Simmonds dropped his gloves.

 

[leaffaninvancouver]

Never in doubt?

 

[LFCTML]

bogo nowhere to be seen last period, not really a bad thing.

Yeah he looked a step behind earlier in the game for sure. Time to give Sandin a game. We have a lot of guys who can compete back there.

 

[TMLeafer]

Atta boy Mo. That dirtbag Chiarot completely failing at blocking that crossice pass just makes it better.

 

[robertmac43]

Tavares was solid

He looks refreshed and ready to go.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Simmonds was better then I expected. Grinded out an ugly two points, get better from here and keep counting the points.

 

[93LEAFS]

Great game by Nylander. I have a feeling Bogosian may drive me nuts by week 2. Disorganized game, but to be expected with no real game reps since August.

 

[disgruntleddave]

Messy game. Gift of an assist off the ref.

Didn't like marner, vesey, 4th line, andersen, tavares until the end.

Main takeaway: Willy. And Anderson on MTL looks like he's gonna be a beast for them. It's gonna be a season.

 

[Amadeus]

Will take that win as every point is important but we have to clean up a lot. Montreal definitely showed their size tonight.

 

[Ryan Michaels]

Habs played great, Leafs played poorly and they won. Can't get by on that every night and it was largely frustrating and disappointing but we know this is far from the Leafs A game and if Habs can't beat that that is a positive.

 

[Maplebeasts]

Just imagine if we had Lehtonen playing instead of Bogo.

 

[inthe6ix]

ya baby feels good man

thank god danault is such trash, he's got stone hands

 

[Fogelhund]

It’s a win. That’s all that matters. Just win. Learn how to win hard games. They did that. Move on to game two.
Keep in mind that these guys has barely any camp, no preseason games. It’s going to take time.
But we won.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Matthews didn’t score but that heads up pass to JT was just as good.

 

[francis246]

I think it's time to end the Thornton hype train, it seemed like a distraction to start. Restructure the third line. If I'm Keefe I go with these lines:

Hyman - Matthews - Marner
Vesey - Tavares - Nylander
Robertson - Thornton - Barabanov
Engvall - Spezza - Simmonds

Rielly - Brodie
Muzzin - Dermott
Sandin - Lehtonen

 

[The Podium]

Ugly win.

So much for Montreals unbeatable D and goaltending

Really liked Barabanov. Feel like he may be the best Hyman.

 

[Alamo Leafer]

 

[Dave92]

Carey Pri5e

 

[SlpLessInMuskoka18]

Marner will never be a 10 mil player and it sux

Have a beer and enjoy your life for 10 minutes dude

 

[LeafSadist]

Feels good man

 

[Madap]

Nice happy for the points

Despite shitting on Andersen he made two big saves in OT and after the 4th goal went in

Nylander 5/5

Matthews 4.5/5

Marner 4/5

Tavares 4/5

Generous to Marner

 

[Stolie the Goalie]

It sucks Matty didn't score but I'll take the W against the Habs.

 

[kk87]

Willy's on a different level this year... holy ****.

Third line was really bad, and I expect more from the Matthews line (despite some good looks), but we got er done. Nice for Rielly to have an NHL calibre partner for the first time in his career

 

[sparxx87]

Freddy with two huge saves in OT

 

[BTP]

Ahhh, hockey

 

[stickty111]

Man what a way to start the season. So sloppy but it's a win. I expected a bit of a mess but wow.
This made Keefe really coach today. He was looking for any kind of stability on the blueline and even went with Holl-Dermott.
Freddy umm yeah you owe us one there
Bogosian I'm giving 2 more games otherwise I'm done with him.

 

[Ziggdiezan]

Sick backhand pass from Matthews to set JT on the 2 on 1 for the game winner
