Post-Game Talk: Leafs win in regulation. Woll Hurt

[Al14]

Without Woll, we lose this game in regulation.

Woll held us in the game all the while our skaters had a bad 1st period.

After a much better 2nd period we had a lead. Another game that our Leafs squandered a 2 goal lead in the 3rd. Thankfully, with Jones in our net, we hung on for a much needed regulation win.

I hope and pray that Woll is NOT seriously injured.

I think Woll injury won’t be as bad as we think.

Matthews is so mid

Get angry Auston. We need you wanting to wreck things

Nylander has been cold mostly since the line changes. Matthews you can't be playing this bad it makes no sense

Way to much raw talent and skill to just be a 85-90 pt guy who looks lackadaisical

First road win since Oct 26th.

Do games in Ottawa count as road wins?

 

[DarkKnight]

Textbook.

No idea why but I have more faith in jones than Samsonov

We need The Beast to protect the Woll.

Gutsy win. They hung in there and somehow got it done. They're losing bodies, left, right and centre. I wouldn't make a move this season unless it's a cheap add to the wing or d. Wait until the offseason. Don't do wholesale changes like before.

It's not even a bad team. It is a constant lack of focus. Rielly played well, but then decided to do a spinorama and backhand it softly into the slot. McCabe had a good game, but then couldn't focus enough to clear it and they score. Nylander couldn't clear it after McCabe tried. Knies had a good game and then just let up in his own zone and got picked.

If everyone carried on the way they are and the big 3 decided to play like their paycheque dictates, we'd be a lot better.

Tavares on pace for 25 goals. 11milion

If you could mold shit into the form of a hockey team, it would be the Leafs tonight.

Feel bad for Woll. This team pushed him to the point where he got injured.

Of all the games to win in regulation time....lol

Incredible performance by Joe Woll tonight. That D was brutal and why the hell Keefe continues to dress Reeves on a regular basis is baffling.

Scored 4 goals so I guess the O kinda/sorta did what you need.

 

[Evilhomer]

Gained two points on Boston and one on Detroit. Also buried Tampa further behind. Good night all around. Not worried about Woll. That kind of movement would generally not result in an MCL or ACL tear.

Jones looked solid in a very short stint!

Risto @ 50% + Hart for Sammy

Thought Knies looked great tonight. Great hustle and laid the body a few times.

Leafs win the game. Mighta f***ed up our season if we have to roll Jones for a long time

We only play 1 more game this week so I'm assuming if Woll is out longterm that Jones should likely only be the #1 for our Saturday game. After that, I'd expect Samsonov would be back for the Monday game (since it's a b2b, maybe he plays the Tuesday game).

Side note, the scheduling is awful this year so far. Tampa has played 27 games and Ottawa is only at 20. That's ridiculous. Four teams with 22 or fewer games and 3 teams with 27. The stockholm series is part of the reason, but it should still be closer than a 7 game difference.

 

[Rare Jewel]

Dominant win, complete team effort.

 

[hamzarocks]

Robertson looks legitimately good when Keefe decides to give him some ice time

Production is also good so far

Domi also been nice. Id keep domi L/T depending on playoffs. Give him 1-2M from bertuzzi and then use that space for a d-man

 

[Notsince67]

Is it my imagination, or does Stutzle go down like he just got high sticked every time someone hits him?

Diver. He is attrotious as a man.

How did they squander a 2 goal lead?

It was 3-1, 3-2, 4-2, 4-3.

It looks very bad. a goalie especially has to have his legs/knees/groin in check.

I was at the game tonight. Leafs nation took over the building again. Tons of Leafs jerseys. Really hoping Woll is ok. He was fantastic tonight….

 

[Cleetus]

Dang it Sucks we lost Woll, he was putting on a clinic! some of the biggest saves ive ever seen, get better man!

 

[Notsince67]

He played tonight?

I'm glad he slacks when we win. Hopefully he doesn't slack when everyone else sucks

 

[Mr_Fun]

The problem obviously with blowing leads is not playing Martin Jones. The proof is in the pudding.

 

[SprDaVE]

From the game, Leafs had some great moments, they just refused to shoot. Defensely though this was terrible... So many mistakes and players falling down. Lajoie struggled badly and Timmins was skating in mud.

I thought Bertuzzi was fantastic. Kampf had his best game as well.
