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

[Mr_Fun]

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

He practiced between periods and got himself real good like.

After you lose your second best DMan who defended the honour of his goalie, this is the type of physical, grinding, character battle you want to see. Two playoff type games without a days rest. Imperfect but the will to find a way to win was there. I give them a slight, approving nod.

 

[Gabriel426]

Good win. On to the next one

 

[meefer]

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

A better angle, I hadn't seen the original play but the earlier 'highlite' suggested skate to me. This shows it as the knee. Intentional? Likely, but in the heat of the moment...I think worthy of a review by player safety.

That's not a knee to the head, it's a knee to the chest and a skate to the balls. McCabe's head clearly already hit the ice before that.

It looks like a nasty concussion and stupid that it came to that, McCabe should have just sat on Hathaway since refs seem to allow that more often than not.

 

[All Mod Cons]

It's the mindset and grittiness that stand out to me. Never in a panic. Always in control of what we are doing. And we just keep going and going. The guys brought in this offseason have helped out massively.

We only do back to backs as well.

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

He'll get off several cutting remarks that will damage Hatthaway's psyche for years.

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.

We have 4 more games played than TB atm so if they win those games they are only like 2 or 4 points behind us. You're right about Boston but TB we still need to watch out for and Florida too.

4th lines been great. No one there deserves to sit

 

[thusk]

Again a chance 1st line and 4th was there again tonight...

Nylander this is why this guy is so frustrating. Remembered me a lot of Kovalev, hell of a player when he show up but when he's not... oh lord...

I think you gotta ride these guys at least another game. Not too, too much longer though as you kind of need the bench guys to get some time at some point.

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.

I assume everyone's noticed O'Neill's new svelt look. Clearly that footrace video woke him up. He looked terrible. I didn't see Hartnell but he'll always be a hero in my eyes after this:

None of them are going to catch the Leafs. I think by the end of the season the Leafs will win the division by 7-10 points. I expect that they will also catch Washington to win the conference, but Washington doesn't look like they are going to fold anytime soon.

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

Editorinleaf shows the great thing about the internet and the downside. The great thing is it shows anyone can start a site/blog about anything and possibly make a career of it. The bad side is the same exact thing because some of these people should not have careers doing this when they have no idea what they are even covering.

For sure, I would have played the 3 scratches tonight

It is possible. The fact they are 1st now even dealing with so many injuries to key players is pretty impressive, but we all know this team can choke the division lead and Florida and TB can also get very hot.

He’s gotta go in there and beat the hell out of Hathaway.

Or maybe not. I dunno, the physical response from the team was pretty good on the whole.

You don't see the panic. Not tonight, but with the lead in the third we stick to the game and don't stop attacking. Last year we won our share but didn't close out well to me.

That site has the worst takes.

 

[Stephen]

Nervously waiting on McCabe updates.

 

[LeafSteel]

Happy for Hildeby. Good showing.

Happy for Rielly. Good to see him get the GWG and enjoying seeing him with Myers.

Happy for Myers and Benoit. They both played well.

Hoping McCabe is alright. Wonder if Rifai gets called up, or OEL shifts back to LHD, and/or Timmins draws back in?

 

[LeafalCrusader]

Nervously waiting on McCabe updates.

I'll guess he'll be day to day with an upper body injury. I know it's a bold prediction.

 

[REALTALK81]

People talking about McCabe injury being looked at might be a reach. Wouldn't surprise me if Domi gets looked at though. Trying to take buddy's head off.

 

[weems]

This US vs FIN game is going to OT and it's 3v3?

Anyone else think this is absolutely ridiculous?

You play all tournament a normal 5v5 format, then in the gold medal game, you hit overtime and go directly to 3 on 3.

Just feels extremely lame to me.

I’m hoping it’s a week off again like last concussion. Best case Ontario honestly.
