Post-Game Talk: MAPLE LEAFS WIN THE STARS! (KÄLLGREN IS THE NEW KING OF THE LEAFS!)

[IPS]

Still can’t believe Dubas managed to get a decent D man for the heartless guy with the boat anchor contract. Bravo.

Brings the much needed elements this team needs since Muzzin went down. Judging from Keefe's words about him prior to the game seems like he's a big fan of him as well.

Can't feel sorry to Mrazek for the opportunity that he had recently. Kallgren stepped in and performed well to get his first shutout in his first NHL game. We need a goalie who can stop the puck and he did the job.

It's just business. Mrazek has had his opportunities. That should be the mindset. Whoever gets us a win, goes win

Was at the game tonight and kept my focus on Kallgren. Guy was locked in all game, the simple little plays like shoveling lose pucks and rebounds to the side of the net/ice instead of juicy rebounds right to the slot (opposite of mrazek and Campbell). That alone will ease pressure off the D and make them look better too.

One game but well deserved fist star for the kid.

Where the F has this game been the last 2 months

Tonight they got a save

 

[HamiltonNHL]

It is nice to see a team work hard for a goalie debut.

probably will drag their asses for the rest of his career but that’s another story for another day

 

[ACC1224]

Did anyone else play well or just the goalie?

 

[kb]

That guy they got from Wallgreens looks good

The entire team played excellent, Kallgren made some good saves but he didn't have to stand on his head imo. Just did his job

I thought Sandin had one of his best games of the season as well

Entire team competed hard tonight.

I'd say Tavares, Mikheyev, Bunting, Kampf, Liljegren, Sandin had noticeably strong games imo.

Kallgren was good especially first two periods.

Even Clifford played well. Lots of energy, moved around the ice, hit a few people.

 

[Brown Dog]

Leafs looked like a team playing for their goalie and also a team that didn't expect every half-decent scoring chance to end up in the net. Was good to see (especially sans the best player in the world).

 

[Funk21]

Good response game, congrats to the kid.

Let him roll and only play Mrazek on the back to backs. If he falters then sit him in the press box and bring up Woll if healthy.

Like Ferraro said sometime through the game, it wasn't always pretty for Kallgren, but he kept them all out tonight. I thought he played well, couple shaky rebounds, but he recovered well. Most importantly he stopped everything he was supposed to, and then some. Something this team hasn't really got for around a month or so.

I need two tickets for Wednesdays victory parade.

 

[Statsman1]

Just takes a 1-game winning streak and everyone is happy! Good to see the mood is better for a while!

Lets have Kallgren turn into Binnington and win the Leafs a cup!

That works for me.

Send me a thousand dollars.

Everybody looked pretty good. Tavares seemed to click with Marner and Bunting. Nylander took a few shifts off as usual but he looked better without Tavares. Even Clifford looked like a borderline NHLer. No major giveaways from Liljegren or Holl. Lyubushkin looked pretty good with Rielly. Allowed Rielly to jump up in the play a little more.

I think it is the appreciation of an actual 60 minute effort from the whole team.

[3blizzard4]

Johnny sure looked happy not playing with Nylander

 

[Dekes For Days]

Congrats to Kallgren!

Amazing what this team can do when it gets competent goaltending.

 

[Optimist]

Great win and so happy for Kallgren of course. We must be careful going forward with him though. It's a very fragile time in his career. It's the big chance that he's been waiting for and I hope that he runs with it.
