Glad to sneak out with the win. Start was a struggle, but a better performance overall, and the team and Matthews really came alive at the end when we started to push more offensively. Congrats to Marner for his 700th point! Beauty pass on the OT winner.

I been using the score app for a while to keep track of scores and standings. Seems pretty good though the standings are usually not updated until late at night.

I guess Nylander and Marner were right.
No big deal losing a few games. They were looking good playing well the whole time. Just weren't getting the bounces is all.
Everything is hunkey dorey again.
I'm sorry but I have a hard time believing this team is a real contender. The Leafs are beneficiaries of a weak division. Boston, Tampa, and Florida have all regressed while none of the rest have improved.
It's the biggest smoke and mirrors trick since David Copperfield made the Stature of Liberty go bye bye.
A squeaker overtime win tonight isn't convincing anyone this pretender contender is legit. The greatest fan base in the world has seen this show enough times to know it's all just an illusion. Setting everyone up for the grand finale in April.
That's when the whole team disappears.

Mitch and Willy are roughly the same tier and understandably people have their preferences, but it's cringy folks calling out Marners game winning 3on3 blueline to blueline pass and not Willy who created the opportunity and capitalized on his OT winning breakaway.
The pass and the goal were both nicely executed; great chemistry knowing what the other would do and see. Funny that the worst bobble of the night happened between both of them when they each made horrific passes on the PP in the first that resulted in taking a penalty. Other than that, I thought they were both pretty stellar for the evening.
Agreed, both beauties that played a great game tonight, and took a blunder. Marner was excellent on the play but he makes that in his sleep (admirably). It was rightfully Willy's moment tonight though, he shut the game down.

Nice to see the big money boys step up steal 2 points in a critical situation.

The majority of which were taking wrist shots pinching to the circles. He could have 0 goals on the year as long as he’s generating rebounds and forcing defenders to acknowledge that he exists instead of collapsing to the slot knowing there’s nothing him or Marner can do about it.

He's been bad this year. An explanation is that he had a kid 2 months before the season and came into the season out of shape and out of practice.
An alternative explanation is that he is just washed up at the age of 30. To me, this one is less likely.

Didn't this same thing happen to Tavares last season? Had a kid just before the season started and had one of his worst seasons ever? Now back to the norm this season. Hopefully that is just the case with Rielly because he's becoming almost unplayable at this rate.
Totally. Only one guy, or two, in the league could find that open man on the blue line. His outstanding pass in that powerplay also set up the goal by Matty (should’ve gotten the assist over Willy), and that drop pass in the 3rd along the boards? Wow - playmaking savant!
I know, right?! One win won’t win me over!!

Solid win but it seems every game is a uphill battle.
Good to see more are realizing how bad Rielly has been, Always got a pass for whatever reason and how many years now have we spent resources looking for a partner to hide his warts.
lots of games to tune up the system and get the players all on the same page.
Regular season is fun to watch. Enjoy the ride.
