Post-Game Talk: Matthews makes history and Leafs send Dubas one step closer to the golf course

[PromisedLand]

Also the 3rd place in metro

LOL yea.... forgot about that.... its crazy!

Jake McCabe with an OT winner wasn’t on my bingo card

Saw the last half. Liked a lot of the defensive game, that tying goal was just a tough bounces. Still hate to see that late in game but given they were sound otherwise that’s fine.

Not sure I like these new lines though. Nylander seems like he just doesn’t care to play with the “kids”

I think Tavares needs to go back to more of a #3C role..

Try:

Bert-AM-Domi
Holmberg-Nylander-Marner
Knies-Tavares-McMann

That second line would get destroyed if you ask me. Needs some grit in there somewhere.

2nd WC spot is smoking HOT right now

It's actually very cool and I'll be watching closely. It's like playoffs before the playoffs. This has to be the tightest battle for the last spot in many years,

Please, please don't ever remind me of that movie ever again. Pretty sure I finally had all neural networks erased before this post.

We've all done things we regret after a night of drinking at a Trans bar.

Reaves has managed to overtake Petan and Malgin on the Leafs all time scorers list

Nice, ahead of two guys who were brought in for offence. He likely did it in less games too. Great signing - the scoring is icing on the cake!

I see the childish obsession with Dubas continues. Move on, already.

On other days I would agree with you, but tonight, Dubas came to town. He is a part of the conversation.

 

[The Apologist]

Craig Simpson was sure kissing the Pens arse tonight

To be fair, that team is stacked and dominant.....

Unlike the team 15 points above them in the standings with absolutely no players worth discussing.

 

[PromisedLand]

LMAO Leafs twitter is on FIRE!

 

[All Mod Cons]

Why the hatred for Dubas? No one forced the team to make him GM.

I give him credit for trying to go for it, the team just didn't do what was needed to win when it mattered.

Leafs have one major advantage over all other teams, an endless stream of cash that allows them to spend in areas without cap. So, though they traded so many picks, they can scout and find hidden gems. They can attract top talent when others want to sign them too. They walk in and say "we are the TML" other teams are at a disadvantage. It wasn't always this way but it is now.

They can hire an army of scouts from here to China. They can see first hand the players of the future where other franchises have to tighten their belts.

I get the "us vs them" mentality, but Dubas didn't do a horrible job. He got them to the dance every year he was here. Many of his signings are still here.

Brad dropped a few eggs early too. The difference is that he seems to be a much quicker learner. This will bode well for this team. He has the advantage of wisdom and experience, Dubas was forced to prove himself as such a young man and put in tough spots.

It's not his fault the core didn't get it done.

I hate his fanbase way, way, way more than him.

That McCabe trade proving dividends

I hate his fanbase way, way, way more than him.

You need help.

Wait ‘till you hear about the boomers and Clark

 

[PromisedLand]

Pretty much every "LEAFS" fan is feeling like this tonight...

 

[CabanaBoy5]

Very workmanlike game from the team. I loved seein the sour faces on Dubas and Spezza. I’m so confident in Samsonov right now. He’s tracking the puck so we’ll and it’s been quite a sample size.

 

[socko]

I feel a little dirty doing Dubas to the Pens. It's like uploading a virus to their main server knowing that it will eventually take down everything.

 

[PromisedLand]

Aight some hysteria seems to have died down after some clarification from sullivan regarding OT

 

[Jojalu]

A very impressive 3 months and change. Keep it rolling through the playoffs

Exactly. He was such a great player for the Leafs but he comes across as the ultimate beta now as Dubas' assistant. Dubas should be sucking up to him, not vice versa. Very confusing.

We live in an upside-down world, my friend.

 

[57 Years No Cup]

Pens fans are losing their shit on sullivan both on HF and on twitter LMAO

They can have Keefe next year. Then they'll have something to really complain about.

mcann hyman marchment and trevore moore. GONE. For what?

Picks given away for what? Nothing. DUde was heralded as a boy genius for making moves any sensible person would make and any of his dumbass moves were given as oh its just toronto.

Couldn't handle ANY contract tbf neither had tre but that was snowballed by dubas.

Dude had the youngest strongest core and couldnt get mo a f***ing d partner or win more than 1 series.

Pathetic. Absolutely pathetic.

Then he went off about how hard its been on his family etc etc. Like you said no one forced him to be a gm. He had it handed to him on a silver pplatter and again with pitt and now hes f***ing another org similar to how he f***ed us. The return on guentzal was pitiful

Sammy has more than redeemed himself. His old man is a true OG for saying what he said to Sammy.

I listened on the radio.. Ralphy had me convinced Bobby Eichel took 4 on the kid so I was shocked when there was no call. Was it a miss?
