Post-Game Talk: Leafs win- promote Bean and Kim to co head coach

[Malachi Crunch]

2nd. line had it's moments.

But methinks you exaggerate a bit ... no player plays 60 minutes.
If you want to go full extreme you could say for about 14 minutes.

Benoit out for 20 minutes? My man.

 

[Clark4Ever]

Much needed victory.

Tavares, Nylander and Bertuzzi need to wake up. They were our best line earlier in the season and they seem to have fallen off a cliff.

 

[HolyCrap]

They do a good job at review, not sure you'd want them coaching though.
Makes sense for the OP though, next he'll want Jeffler and Dangle for co-GM.

It’s sarcasm dude. Lol. The video coach potentially won us the game though.

 

[Maple Leaf]

who is bean and kim

 

[All Mod Cons]

Do you think we'll ever see a 5v5 goal from Tavares again?

 

[ACC1224]

It was great to see the teams two best players be the best players on the same night.
Too bad it doesn't happen more often.

Team is going no where though if they don't find some depth scoring.

I think they have enough talent to put together a good team.

Perhaps they need better management to know what the combinations should be.

Cap Hit, after the fact, shouldn't determine role.

There needs to be an IQ test for those wishing to create post game threads.

Why would you want to exclude yourself from creating post game threads?

 

[Cap'n Flavour]

Quietly Holmberg has 7 points in his last 7 games. Making the most playing up in the lineup with no PP time

I'm going to laugh if he gets a nice juicy extension based on a decent stretch with Matthews. But hey, if it works...

 

[Darch]

Why exactly is Nylander on the ice in the last 5 mins of a game when trying to preserve a lead? The guy is totally lost on the D-side of the rink.

I wonder what changed...

 

[Leaf4Life79]

Martin Jones sucks

He can never freeze the puck. He thinks he's playing pinball.

Tried to allow another soft goal today.

Still better than samsonOof

I wouldn't say I like any extension based on a nice stretch. if he is decent in the 1st line, the Leafs should extend (not juicy though) him ASAP so that Knies can play in the 3rd line.

Couldn't agree more, our two point leaders Nylander and Matthews we're excellent. Nylander once again with two huge primary assists. Set up virtually an open net goal for Marner to score on the PP with a beautiful pass through the defenders legs. Now leads leaf with 59 points, a few more than 2nd place Matthews with 54.

 

[ITM]

I will take the two points and move on. Hopefully the team knows Jones(1st period) and AM saved them tonight.
But the team is lacking speed or at the very least, players need to move their feet more.

They absolutely need to move their feet…and demonstrate a higher level of defensive awareness, transition and distribution.

The two points feel incidental if there’s no structural improvement.

 

[nsleaf]

Couldn't hit the Atlantic ocean if shooting off of Cavendish Beach.

Maybe a $2M raise will help with his shot !!!

But he would easily hit the Gulf of St. Lawrence.

Phil the thrill anyone ?

He's locking very solid on his skates, makes smart plays and is responsible defensively. It would be a huge bonus from a young talent and cap management perspective if he could play a top 9 role for us.

 

[Leaf Fans]

Matthews and Leaf video review saved them in this one from another disaster in a poorly played Leafs game.

Saved them from being in a tie game with time left. Though it would be moot had the play been properly stopped.

 

[Doublerum1975]

People in here complaining about a win good job leaf fans

 

[RunItBackAgain]

Same shot 2 games in a row.

Yeah, I know it has been said, including by me, but they don't need a superstar goaltender, they just need an average goaltender that can make stops NHL goaltenders make all the time.

Give them a top 10 goaltender and they're probably a favorite.

I mean if you exclude Sammys play time we have exactly top 10 goaltending with a .918 sv%. We are 17-10-2. About 17th in GAA with 2.6 (.14 or 1 goal per 7 games behind 10th) but that’s more on team imo. We aren’t world beaters

It is actually quite telling that MM rarely showed he is a top player in the game this season. Overall, he is okay. I know some will throw his stats at me and then say stuff like he is having a great season by anyone standard….but let’s face it, MM just not his dominant self this season. Kind of like AM last season or the season before where his shot just wasn’t the same.

 

[Confucius]

I think the plan is not to sit on a lead by playing d. Keep attacking

 

[crump]

If Keefe didn’t get the glove pass call and Calgary went on to win…..he’d be under severe pressure today. His body language is of a man who is desperate to get his team to win, play 60 min. I feel bad for him because as good a fill in Jones has been, he’s not a number one goalie. There always a potential for a bad rebound, lost angle, bad goal. That plays on the mindset of the team. Sammy has lost all confidence to take the net. Woll might not even be the answer. It’s a huge question mark.
