Post-Game Talk: Leafs wins 5-4 in OT.

[SprDaVE]

Missed the game but why was holmberg on with less than a minute? Was he that good today?

Berube likes him and he's been sort of playing well lately. The top line was just on with a loaded line, so this was a shift to rest them before the top line jumped back on.

Most folks around here had a circle jerk when the McMann/Domi/Robertson had a few good games, too. Guys like this get hot for a bit then fall off. Same with every team.

Just giving him some credit for recent production. Live in the now.

He’s “on fire” by the standard of a player who rarely ever scores, but let’s not act like 2 empty net gifts from Nylander play into an “on fire” trend. Nice to see him get a couple of actual goals though.

We need the depth, whoever it is, to keep putting pucks in the net.

Is Holmes the new Mcmann

Is Holmes the new Mcmann

I’d be all for it, but I doubt it heavily lol

Holmberg is unreal. All of a sudden he has caught fire out of nowhere. I was just gonna ask "did any recent SC winner have a winger as bad as Holmberg in their top 6?" Then he scores the tying goal. Unreal.

I am hearing Holmberg Holmberg Holmberg chants

Nice piece of business.

What a shitshow of a game, lol.

It seemed like nothing was going right through 2. Not just being out-skated and outplayed, but also just the bounces, the calls (another Jeremy Jacobs special: one rule-book for the Bruins; another for us), the way usually reliable players like McCabe were having rough nights.

But still... 3-0 comeback, then 4-3. Stolarz kept us in it and made a huge save in overtime before the winner. Robertson is on a heater. Holmberg had another but it was somehow deserved? He's playing really well right now. And while Mitch didn't have a great game overall, he showed up when needed.

Biggest story tonight is probably going to be Tanev/Nylander's health. Here's hoping neither injury is serious.

LTIR until playoffs for both and we can go get whatever player we want lol

Bruins.

Helluva win. Tanev injured, Styles hurt. I'd give #34 the weekend off. He's not himself. Then again I wouldn't have wanted him playing for Team USA and I'm American. He needs rest. He's needed later in the season. Big picture. Oh yeah, INTERCOURSE THE BRUINS!!!

"NOOOOOORRRRMMMM!"

Absolutely love that Marner went right to Stolarz, this game is over without Stolarz

Well Ryan stone said Mitch is a great teammate and can play on his team any day

 

[Evilhomer]

If they can win the game against the Rangers on Friday night, the Leafs are going to go on a very long heater. Washington will be difficult to catch, but you never know. That said, given that the wild card teams are going to all be pretty crappy, I'm not sure it matters whether the Leafs finish first or second in the conference.

Thats what Willy is paid the big bucks for. Make the undeforming lower AAV players useful

 

[LeafalCrusader]

Just want to mention that Morgan Rielly had a goal, four points, was +3 on the night, and logged 27:39 TOI (highest on either team).

Mo Mo Mo!!!
How do you like me!

2nd best comeback this season.

Well done.

 

[notdoneyet]

Why didn't Johnny shoot it as soon as it hit his stick? No way Swayman is expecting that.

Probably because Tavares wasn’t expecting the pass
He should know by now to expect the unexpected from Mitch

 

[kevsh]

I love how the Leafs play when Matthews is out of the lineup.

See what I did there.

 

[Clark4Ever]

That felt almost as good as the other recent OT win in Boston.

Hope Nylander and Tanev are ok.
