Post-Game Talk: Leafs win.

[LeafsandSharksfan]

**** Yeah!

Team's still not good though.

 

[Sniper99]

With Patrick Kane, Chicago beats us in regulation, no doubt about it.

well he wasnt so f*** him.

try enjoying a win

The Toronto Marlies affiliate, the Maple Leafs, will enjoy a raucous bus ride back to Ontario after earning a nail-biting two points against the league's most dysfunctional franchise. Tim-bits from the drive-thru for everyone! You're back in the saddle, boys!

You didn't like that backhand sauce to Nylander for the breakaway?

If Marner made that easy tip pass, it would have been called an empt calorie assist by 2/3 of the board.

Matthews did not play well today. Idk how he gets away from the criticism but tired of Marner taking all the hits.

A win is a win is a win. At least the Leafs showed some fight and came back this time instead of completely folding when they were down. That's a positive to takeaway from this game.

Great job boys. Might be the only time I'll root for you this year (well, okay over Edmonton too haha), but damn that was nice to see.

I have never had a meme so perfectly capture exactly how I am feeling.

 

[Auston Marlander]

Meh.

Leafs fans: Just Win a f***ing game!
Leafs: Wins a game.

Leafs Fans: meh, you need to beat a good team.
Leafs: Beat a good team.

Leafs Fans: meh, let's see you keep doing it
Leafs: Win more.

Leafs Fans: Meh, talk to me when you win a series
Leafs: Wins a series

Leafs Fans: meh, call me when you win a cup.
Leafs: Wins the cup.

Leafs fans: Meh, let's see you do it again...


This fan base is just as toxic if not more so than Montreal.

Maybe this somewhat gross road win will bring them back to life. Matthews to Nylander is good. Marner scoring would have been big too.

 

[saffronleaf]

atta boy willy.

Campbell was excellent

Still so much to work on

 

[Cap'n Flavour]

I wasn't following the GDT and was shocked when I read how negative it was. They woke up, and played really well and in sync in the 2nd half of the game. They looked like last years team again. That's a good building block.

They eked out a close win over the worst team in the league missing its best player, so that's not exactly something to get incredibly excited about.

Still nice to run into yet another hot goalie but not just completely give up about it.

 

[DraftSchmaft]

Is it just me or does Nylander always kill the Hawks in OT. That's what, 3 game winners now?

 

[SprDaVE]

It was an awful first 10 minutes that really shouldn't have been. Muzzin-Holl was still a major problem, but at least our Big 4 came through tonight.

Muzzin needs to go on the IR for awhile. Holl probably needs to sit or get demoted too.

[BigGulpsEh]

Win is a win but nobody is fooled on what this team is

 

[NMacrules]

What happened?!! I turned it off after 2-0 and werent skating, checked the score the Leafs win it? Maybe I'm bad luck being an Avalanche fan first.

[PromisedLand]

I found it hilarious people raging at Rielly on PP and blaming him when it was marner with a pass nowhere close to Mo

 

[The90]

Was that… effort? I saw?????

 

[93gilmour93]

 

[Nineteen67]

That was not a win. 2 pts, but a horrible effort.

 

[WickedPegJets]

Love the finish and the emotion from Matthews and Nylander after it went in. The boys battled and showed heart. All the big guys with points. I will take it.

It took a big effort to beat the worse team in the NHL however Sheldon Keefe is happy.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Yes it is.

Beating an 0-6 team means nothing.

Winning doesn't mean a whole lot, but losing sure would have. Just take the 2 points and improved play and move on

 

[Maplebeasts]

I have to say it feels good to be in the win column again. Few things about tonight: Muzzin and Holl were both still horrendous. I don't think Holl has had a single game where he's been above a 45% xgf. He's just abysmal and belongs nowhere near an NHL roster right now. Matthews had a bad night. His passes and decision making in the offensive zone were off. Marner was our best player today by a landslide. He was magnificent imo. Nylander was quiet but good, Kampf was unbelievable. Oh and Seth Jones actually sucks balls. I don't know what happened but he is basically Ristolainen with a better reputation. Just an abysmal defensive player and he makes a lot of needlessly risky plays.
