Post-Game Talk: Leafs WIN vs Flyers in OT - MO MO MORE!

[Stephen]

Matthews timing looks a little off at times but this looks like a healthy, engaged and energetic version of him and he's making an impact right away.

Really hope Jake McCabe is okay after falling on the ice during that Hathaway tilt.

Good for Domi sticking up for him vs Hathaway. Kinda wish he had somehow scored the OT winner while managing to complete the elbow hat trick as well. Otherwise he looks kind of rough out there.

McMann looks good out there and feels like he's growing into his NHL role.

Knies looked like a bull again out there, some weird high risk plays in open ice with his ill-timed dekes. Hope he cleans that up.

Pacioretty is turning into Gary Roberts. I don't know what's happening there.

Myers and Benoit look really strong physically and play a mean brand. They were beating up Tippet all night long and it warms the heart to see an opposition star player get worked all over the ice for no reason.

Rielly got a monkey off his back.

Hildeby looked sub NHL on that early shot but settled into a very strong and calm game in net.

Nylander is just sleepwalking lately, looks like a zombie out there and very sloppy everywhere.

On the Flyers side, I didn't like Torts' sweater, Michkov looks a little young out there, Fedotov looks pretty good in net. As much as we hate Hathaway, that guy would be a shift disturber in the playoffs if we ever got our hands on him. Laughton looked pretty good too.

Molee molee molee molee. Sorry, I can't not see it.

 

[LaPlante94]

Boston loses even though it was an OT loss and TB losing going into the 3rd. Could be another good day.

 

[Evilhomer]

Ugly game tonight, but cant complain about 4 points out of 4 in back to back nights.

Don't worry, people will try.

 

[DarkKnight]

This team gets it done. No matter the injuries, the absolute lack of PP opportunities or the schedule


We are finally going to see some playoff success this year boys and girls.

Pac said that pregame, we win even when it isn't perfect and that's the sign of a good team.

Here is another angle just pisses me off. i wonder if NHL has the balls to do the right thing here

 

[djdev]

That may have been the worst game I've ever seen him play, and he looked completely out of breath, doing the 15 second shifts (and I know that feeling well).

that was prime babs 4th line nylander. really painful to watch.

 

[Evilhomer]

Boston loses even though it was an OT loss and TB losing going into the 3rd. Could be another good day.

Tampa and Boston are so far back of the Leafs at this point that it doesn't matter. No one is catching Toronto in the Atlantic.

34 looking like last years version made the weekend

 

[likecheese]

lol, when is Dewar going to score, I want to cash in.

 

[crump]

Wait, who scored the winner? I remember a guy named Rielly. Good player, scored some goals. Thank god he’s off the schneid.

Knew it might be ugly. But lots of battles won. Tanev should get a star in games like this. So sneaky high IQ.

Shame about McCabe. Bad luck hitting his noggin on the ice. Domi chanelling dad with flying elbows in retribution

 

[Leafs98]

Watching the Flyers post game since I cant locate the remote at the moment. I cant believe it has been 6 years since Hartnell played. He is taking the Jeff O'neal post career diet routine it seems.

Still not seeing it.

Edit: Yes, it's an unnatural motion and there's some intent there but it's not to the head as far as I can tell. I think the damage was done when McCabe fell.

 

[djdev]

His skating is fine, it's a lazy criticism and he showed he moves tonight. Not the greatest passer, but that isn't his gig. Great on the PK too!

wait what, are u saying i criticized him? or just saying in general thats been the criticism against him?

 

[REALTALK81]

I'll take that all day. Our D scoring 2 including the OT winner? Hopefully McCabe gets the proper rest he needs after that concussion. Benoit and Tanev looked solid on the D side but McCabe is also an animal.

 

[authentic]

I’m liking this whole winning thing

[Leafs98]

It’s 4 in a row

Does it have to end at 5 btw ?

 

[Joe n]

i only read the first few pages of the game day forum and heard Hildeby wasn't an NHL goalie. What happened?

 

[ACC1224]

Does it have to end at 5 btw ?

Hope not

 

[Mr_Fun]

Feast or famine. D doesn't score for a month, then it's 3 goals in two games. Dewar, you're next....

 

[LeafalCrusader]

Benoit stepped up big. The Dubas fan boys at Editor in Leaf can suck it.

How Is This Player Still Getting Regular Minutes on the Maple Leafs Blue-Line?

The Toronto Maple Leafs seem to have - at least in the short term - struck gold with the Chris Tanev/Jake McCabe pairing. Additionally, the recently re-signed

They played the rest of the game

I am elite.

Reaves gotta start in Philadelphia on Tuesday. It's that simple.
