Post-Game Talk: Leafs win Monday Matinee Blues

[DutchHockeyGuy]

Don't they do post game on TV?

 

[Larcos_Unal]

Really solid game, were definitely playing better team defence.

I'm glad we can laugh at that empty netter, over the bar, that's a new one lol.

If he had some gumption he should have taken a slapshot

 

[LeafParade]

When is this so called Playoff Bertuzzi showing up?

 

[HEAVY DUTY]

4-0 in the Rielly suspension era. haha.

suck it Sens fans and Parros. and Bettman.

 

[Tlo1]

4-0

 

[1specter]

50 against the Coyotes would be hilarious.

If by 50 you mean we put up 50 shots and lose the game 2-1 I agree. That's how it always goes against that f***ing ECHL squad.

 

[DutchHockeyGuy]

Bertuzzi needs to sit one out, he brings nothing to the table

Had two very good blocks.

 

[LeafGrief]

Very solid game! Big thanks to Ridley Greig for helping turn this season around.

McMann is a player.

 

[kevsh]

In retrospect, Bertuzzi's 30 goal season was clearly an outlier.
Since then, he's got 15 goals in his last 102 games. And that now includes missing an EN.

Nice work Leafs, let’s win the next one without Mo and complete going 5-0 which will be the biggest FU to Parros and the NHL

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

4-0 since the Grieg incident. Morgan may have gone overkill with the headshot but don’t let any dork tell you it didn’t mean something to the team for to him go after Grieg for that bush league stunt.

 

[Gary Nylund]

Very good road win.
Since the Rielly suspension, the team is playing some good team hockey.
Playing with lots of intensity, paying lots of attention to the small details and being responsible defensively.
It's a pretty easy sell to the players to up their level when you lose an important player and playing a consistent 60 minutes of hardworking hockey is sometimes this teams biggest hurdle.

Not sure why it seems to have been such a hard sell for the first 50 games but whatever, better late then never. Just be ready to play when the playoffs start, that's all I ask.

 

[ThrowDemTongs]

Had two very good blocks.

What a gangster. His main contribution was getting shot

 

[Raging Bull]

You know what would really cap this run off? A successful appeal down to 4 games.

 

[wingman75]

20 regulation wins boys! Look the eff out, here we come!

 

[LeafalCrusader]

Top six should be

McMann Matthews Marner
Knies Domi Nylander

 

[Jmo89]

Ridley Greig is beauty for us. Team is playing some of their best defensive hockey, have gone 4-0 since his goal, and McMann is tearing it up.

I'd be fine if he helps his lowly Sens get a win tonight against Tampa, but wouldn't be surprised if they drop to 1-3.

 

[Mr_Fun]

Pretty obvious the only way Bert scores the other night is for AM to bank it on off of him. He might work on the PP as a big body in front of the net; I don't know.

It's almost like they believe their overall talent level should be good enough to win most games or that it's good enough to win by just showing up for 20-40 minutes but when one of the top dogs is it out of the lineup it's easier to get the message across that you need to play hard right from puck drop and for the full 60.

 

[GoonieFace]

4-0 since the Grieg incident. Morgan may have gone overkill with the headshot but don’t let any dork tell you it didn’t mean something to the team for to him go after Grieg for that bush league stunt.

So when Knies got dummied and Lily got slewfooted that wasn’t reason enough to mean something?

 

[Gabriel426]

You just knew Bert is not going to score the Empty Net. That’s just his luck this season.
McMann and Robbie continue to be impressive. They are just relentless in forechecking and back checking, hold on to the puck well and drive to the net.
Didn’t notice Rafai which is a good thing.
Bash brothers are great again.
Willie can PK too.
Also love Keefe playing JT with McMann and Robbie.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Someone correct me if I'm wrong

Through 54 games:

Last year 32-14-8
This year 30-16-8

For all the doom and gloom we've seen this year, only 4 points worse than at this point last year isn't bad at all.

 

[Larcos_Unal]

What a gangster. His main contribution was getting shot

$5.25m doesn’t get you much in this economy

 

[Mr_Fun]

As someone said in the GDT -- they're all working their butts off out there.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

So when Bobby Mcmann scoref the broadcast said unassisted, I don't think that's right because the score app on my TV said Marner had 3 assists.

I'm also fairly certain Matthews shot the puck down the ice before Mcmann scored.
