Post-Game Talk: ..::Leafs Win

[indigobuffalo]

Thank God Babcock is smarter than the dolts on these boards who think they know better.

Smart move putting Smith out there to fend off the last-ditch push by the Stars.

 

[Daisy Jane]

McStarter?

don't be McSilly.

 

[Marner]

39 saves :d

Feels great mane. Last empty netter was Connor Brown but I can't remember the game.

 

[A1LeafNation]

Better, but Dallas did have a lot of chances

Smith needs to not play or not lose faceoffs.

 

[frizzer1]

Want to beat the leafs?
Play with an empty net..

Now that's how you play defence. From now on...that's how you play defence!

Defence was pretty crappy still. The difference was, McBackup was playing instead of Andersen. Still, win is a win.

 

[Alfie]

Hopefully that ignites a fire under Andersons ass.

I'd put McElhinney in net next game. He made some great saves and kept the team in it all game long.

You must have missed the last few games.

And the blues just destroyed the sens !

 

[SnizzMitch]

Whats the song that plays everytime we win

Nice feeling to actually be able to lean on your backup when you need to.

 

[PromisedLand]

lets get a win streak going boys. Win all the home games and then the road ones

 

[frizzer1]

backup was solid and steady....a nice change from what we've been seeing..

No way, they were boxing out all game and winning battles. They weren't doing that the last few.

 

[ECanuck]

Oh yeah! Stayed aggressive until the end.

Mathews was disappointed at himself his last shifts. Too much thinking and pressure getting to the hands.

 

[Liferleafer]

Big win!

McBackup was huge!

Ben Smith should be shot out of a cannon!

 

[mulefarm]

When you get solid goaltending it makes the D better!

 

[Goonface2k14]

Give McElhinney the "C"

 

[Once]

Start Micky next game... give Andy a little break.

I think the type of quality chances were pretty limited though. At least from watching the game. Not sure how the stats will show that but I thought they did much better in front of their own net tonight.

Agreed. I don't think we win this one with andy in net with the way he's been playing

Fun fact:

We are 8 points behind the Habs with 3 games in hand (they are down 2-0).
And the Habs started the year 9-0-1

 

[crump]

Yup!
