Post-Game Talk: McMann vs McBoys, Leafs win 6-3

[BTP]

Only in Leafs Land is a five goal lead heading into the third period needed.

Remember when we scored 5 in the 3rd just a couple months ago? These things happen

Just dont let it happen in the playoffs.

Oilers fans in shambles after Alberta born Bobby McMann made this comment

Bobby proving he is a McMann amongst boys.

No lead is safe with this team, or from them.

It doesn't matter whether you win or lose. It's how many goals you score in the process. ML$E's thinking is that most people would rather see a 6-5 loss than a 2-1 win.

The sting of losing is soothed by the entertainment of seeing a "good" game.

When it was 5-0 after 2 I warned my fellow viewers that it wasn't over yet.. maybe in the old days a 5-0 lead was safe but nowadays it's basically f**k all if they're not careful

 

[LeonDraisaitl29]

Respectfully I hope Samsonov isn't out too long I'd like to watch him in the playoffs

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Oilers as a team are PP merchants. Good win.

 

[TopCheeseShotta]

I swear it looked like it was happening again tonight the way they played in that 3rd period

I wad full PTSD mode.. haha

 

[WillyC]

McMann playing like Bobby McBossy out there tonight.

Most people know that hockey has 3 periods.

Dunno why ppl are saying these games don’t matter, Florida and Boston are fluttering and we’re clicking at the right time.

1gm back on Florida and 3 ok Boston. 6/7 pt gap. It’s not impossible to leapfrog even both.

Drawing Detroit/Washington and letting Boston/Florida knock one of themselves out would be huge.

Even if that is the case, if he felt anything at all after overstretching and taking a puck to the neck, he should take himself out of this completely meaningless game.

I rather them be overcautious at this stage of the season, sure.

I have a good friend that moved to Australia, he is from Wainwright. He is an Oilers fan, but because of Big Mac, he is forced to watch/ listen to Leafs games and he was so conflicted yesterday, i love it.

They said that he is fine after the game.

Is woll expected to start today? Why was he not dressed?

He's from Wainwright? Is he familiar with Glen Sather's mother's haberdashery?

He went ahead to Carolina for tonight’s game.

Watched the replay of the game late last night after getting back home.

Amazing first two periods but letting them back into the game left a bit of a sour taste in mouth. Hoping Sammy is OK. He looks like our starter come April.

Also loving how much more physical this team is. Edmundson was all over that douchebag Draisaitl last night and it was hilarious seeing him get all pissy.

 

[The Hanging Jowl]

Of all the things I thought I would hear in 2024, Zach Hyman being the top contender to catch Auston Matthews in the Rocket race was pretty low on the list. Good for him though, love that guy.

In all fairness, the PPs given to the 2nd best PP in the league got the Oilers back in the game otherwise this game was done. But our PK does need a lot of work regardless.

Hot Take:

Nylander may never be able to out-point Draisaitl, but he's the more dynamic of the 2.

From a pure entertainment view, Nylander is much more fun to watch. If him and Drai were on the same line, I believe Drai would defer to Nylander as the puck carrier.

Connor McDavid: "Coach, it doesn't matter who you put with me, even a potato could score 50".

Zach Hyman: "Hold my beer"

This becomes very relevant if we win today’s game.

 

[BrannigansLaw]

More physical play in this 5 minute clip than the 6-7 years of Dubas’ puss teams combined.

 

[diehardleafsfan9878]

If only the oilers could play with an extra man all game long. They'd be the best.

They could if they played without a goalie

 

[therealkoho]

Tough loss with Sammy.

Matt Murray getting healthy for the playoffs could be huge.

Woll and Jonesie staying healthy would be huge-er

 

[ToneDog]

Facing a little adversity in the 3rd is not a bad thing IMO. They bent but did not break, even after losing Sammy. Very entertaining game and impressive win.
