That second PP unit has a case of the yips with the kids on that line.. Robby, McMann, and Knies all look a bit jumpy out there. Need some poise and composure.
I'm happy for the win, but gawd darnit, that drop pass on our PP is going to drive me around the bend. So bloody predictable.
Good to see Timmins back, 16+ minutes, let's see what he can do over a few games.
Liljegren leading the team with over 22 minutes of ice time. Keefe giving him the chance to prove himself...I like it.
An impressive game for Bert, AM and Domi.
JT with 11 points in his last 8 games.
It's going to be interesting to see how Keefe arranges the lines when Marner and Jarnkrok come back. I don't know who fills the 3C role, but there seems to be enough O right now to present 3 lines with some scoring punch. I think I'd try:
Bert Matthews Domi
Knies/Robertson Tavares Marner
McMann Nylander Jarnkrok
Holmberg Kamph Dewer

Knies and Robertson had a rough night.

Nice win. First line looked great.
Yeah that Wilson play is an easy major if it's a leaf. Retaliatory, stick swinging to the face. The idiot was running around early in the first too.

Not interested in a domi-matthews-marner line since no one will crash the net.

Yep, despite his haters, Timmins played a good game IMHO !!!

I watched this game for the Ovie and Matthews bromance, in the nude with a bag of Cheezies in hands.
Lots of cheese stains on that fifth appendage.
Very pleased.

Worst part of tonite is allowing ovi to score 2

He was also running around early hitting every Leaf he could. Too bad Reaves wasn't playing tonight.
Both Ovi and Wilson needed to be fed some knuckle sandwiches !!!
What a great game. Caps fighting for their lives and the Leafs put their foot down on their throats. I wonder where all the people are who were saying if Keefe was a good coach they would start the game off on fire? lol
The Domi-Matthews-Bertuzzi line is something special. This game was a great demonstration of how good of a coach Keefe is. Had the magic touch with the lines and line up decisions. Bold move to sit Brodie.
And what can you say about Bobby McMann? Exactly the type of guy you need stepping up in the playoffs. Keefe bring out the best in him.
And great to see the Brick Woll back in the net.

Knies was terrible
He needs to stop taking bad penalties

They had a nice game but I think we need to slow our roll a bit with Domi on the top line come playoff time.
He and Bertuzzi defensively against other top lines sounds like a recipe for disaster

The best and worst thing about this team is they can as easily win 7-3 as lose 3-2 each every night. Nothing surprises me, good or bad anymore.
That just doesn’t feel like a Championship trait.

Might have to put Willy there with Domi.

It looked like Matthews was more engaged than he has been. I think playing him with Domi has sparked something in him. I thought Timmins had a good game. I didn’t miss Brodie out there.

Some good lineup decisions tonight.
Max works with Matthews I think because he can dart around the ice, somewhat like Marner. Creates an interesting option of not having to play M&M together.
Thought Tavares, Nylander and Bertuzzi were excellent. Most of the other guys were fine.
Did not miss Brodie. His play has declined so much. Thought the rest of the D were good, and I thought McCabe and Timmins stood out as being very good with Timmy continuing to show well.
Woll wasn't overly impressive, but good enough tonight. Assume Sammy Saturday, Wolly Sunday?
I don't like Knies' game right now, he is struggling to make even the simplest of plays. The length of the season has really worn him down it seems. Candidate for some nights off down the stretch?
McMann continues to impress. His mobility plays a big factor for him to be impactful, seems to have a good head as well.
Expected win delivered. Combination of embarrassing effort vs Philly + Caps coming off a west coast trip led to cookie night.
Large weekend awaits vs two very good opponents. Looking forward to it.
Edit: That PP is disgusting. Running out of words to describe it. So predictable on the entries it is lunacy at this point. The drop back entry is fine if mixed with a couple others... the PK group is never challenged since they know what is coming EVERY TIME. Lazy strategy.

He has looked better lately.
His grit in the dirty areas is noticeable and where he shines.
Good game Matthews with Domi is something
Benoit and McCabe our legit stop you at the blueline pair
Hard
Well the opposing team usually played their shutdown line against AM in playoffs, thus don't think it matters if Domi and Bert ain't the best defensive players.

It does though because other top players will be able to exploit their weaknesses. I like both players but they are prone to f*** ups
Knies had his best month of the season in February and was playing well until he got his bell rung by that twat Marchand. Would maybe give him a bit more rope to gather himself together
Well if the opposing shutdown lines are players like Kampf, Riley Nash and Lars Eller. Don't think it would matter much. But if the opposing shutline are players like Bergy, Point and Stone. Thats another story.
