Post-Game Talk: Leafs win in Buffalo

[Ports]

An interesting question that is, I think, playoff dependent.

Most things on this team are playoff dependent but Woll isn’t ready to be a starter for a cup contender.

Absolutely and embarrassingly bullied them in their own barn (our barn really)

This is what 'goalied' looks like.

Samsonov records 13th shutout | NHL.com

 

[Ports]

What if the Leafs go on a long playoff run and Samsonov keeps playings great and is a huge part of that playoff run? Do you still let him go after a stellar postseason? Seems like that would be a pretty hard thing to do to let him go after a really good playoff run or even a cup win.

If that’s the case they won’t. Wolls not ready.

Sammy.
Matty.

Noice.

Nice or noise. Either works

Sammy with a stellar performance. I think he has to be the starter for the playoffs.

AUSTON with his 60th! Hopefully this lights a fire under his *** and he starts scoring like crazy again.

 

[PromisedLand]

LMAO

Great game, and SHUTOUT, by Samsonov !!!

Matthews to 60 goals !!!

Our D and support players played well. A few dumb penalties, and a couple of non-calls on Buffalo !!!

 

[thusk]

samsonov had hard time tonstart this season, everyone forfeit on him... He had to fce their own demon all alone when he reach the bottom of the barrel. He was working hard, he was fighting to come back strong and some people didn't understand why leafs stick by playing Samsonov.

He finally find the way to beat his demon and came back stronger than i ever see him since hr's in NHL. Its the best version of Samsonov i ever saw. Its not about stats by how he's under control of everything right now. Everything was looking slower around him and he's completly in control. His story can help the complete team to beat their own demon too

i was the 1st one who was thinking Woll was best chance for leafs to win in playoff buright now, no doubt Samsonov will start playoff

Nice win tonight in Buffalo. Dahlin should gets games for his well placed and very dangerous shove. That guy bugs me, talented yes, but a lil bitch. I'd think about moving Robertson up in the lines, he can score the puck as well as anybody. His moving up brings depth to the rest of the roster. Try and hide him higher in the lineup and let him do what he does best at the same time.

Sammy LOVE THIS GUY

LMAO

If you change road for home, that would be spicy.

 

[ThrowDemTongs]

Massive night for Sammy. Great to see him return to a level that the team can lean on.

You got your shutout

 

[robertmac43]

You got your shutout

Magic day! Huge for the fantasy team.

 

[torontoblood]

What’s our magic number to officially clinch a playoff spot

 

[PromisedLand]

Seriously f*** the suits

Bring this energy to playoffs at home

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Woo. Sammy should get the belt. Great win.

That is a playoff team win and a f*** you too Buffalo.

The beer is tasting even better now

Cheers

Nah Matthews should get the belt, 60 goals.

 

[Rare Jewel]

Seriously f*** the suits

Bring this energy to playoffs at home

I like the absence of the goal horn.

Just raw vocal emotion..

 

[PromisedLand]

Matthews scoring 60 goals again....

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

When Matthews scored 60 2 years ago i never thought I'd see it again in my life.

I sure as hell never thought I'd see it 2 years later.

He's special

When the LEAFS NATION i.e. THE REAL FANS get to go to the games instead of the suits you get memorable moments.

EDIT: This isn't photoshopped. it is real! (See the tweet below)

 

[Burnie97]

The problem has always been obvious in Toronto. The f***ing suits rob regular Joe blows of ever getting a half decent seat.

It's sad. The gardens was so loud. It was amazing.

I hope come the playoffs people that are there will actually f***ing cheer and be loud.

I'm not sure they will have much choice. If that happens, can they afford to pay samsonov $4+ million per season and still improve the defense AND design domi and bertuzzi? Something will have to give somewhere.

 

[Mr_Fun]

Also, I like the absence of the goal horn.

Just raw vocal emotion..

I thought it would have been a nice gesture from Buffalo to at least play our goal song whenever we scored.
