Post-Game Talk: Nylander and Shootouts get Leafs 2 points Vs Flames

[tmlms13]

Puck has to maintain forward motion which it did. Fumble all you want

Did it though? He reached back a bit.

 

[Bomber0104]

Does Sticky only do these when we lose?

Probably raging that Domi's playing great on the third line and won the game for us.

 

[wingman75]

I don't even know how to feel about that game?!

Great we got the two points. Fun watching Willy do willie things...

The goals against were just weird... didn't like the goaltending on three of the four.

Matthews was putrid in OT, where the fck is his head? So careless with the puck. Marner is still not right. Getting some points, but not really being the one to generate a lot of the offence.

I still like Lagesson. McCabe a but rusty but good. Not having Klingberg was a plus imo. I don't feel we need him on this roster, especially when Timmy is back.

If we play like that tomorrow, we get creamed I think, especially on the tendy side.

 

[Aashir]

Hopefully Steeves can do for the 4th line what Robertson did for the 3rd line. It shouldn't be that hard, the team gets significantly better just from Reaves not playing

problem is at somepoint klingberg will be back

I think lagesson might actually be more dependable than he is.

Klingberg can't even bring any offence either

Steeves or Holmberg would probably be an upgrade on Reaves by default as you said. Just need keefe to see that too

 

[Cleetus]

well big 2 points now off to watch some season 5 off the O.G 90210

 

[Maple Leaf]

2 points are good but like....where is the barf button on this 18-wheeler?

 

[weems]

Our third line looks much better now with Domi at C and Robertson LW.

Jarnkrok has been playing good the past few games also.

Hopefully it can sustain itself because you weren't going to get much offense with Kampf playing in that spot.

 

[Stephen]

It’s almost like Klingberg isn’t responsible for all our problems lol.

I actually think we largely played a pretty good game tonight, but the 4th line stunk, goaltending shakey, 1st line didn’t have the jump for the first half.

We will take the 2 points.

If Klingberg was playing tonight, the score might have been 7-4 regulation. Get rid of Reaves and it might have been a 4-2 night.

Was anyone saying Klingberg was the only problem?
He is a terrible defensive player on a team that has too many terrible defensive players.

He’s definitely a problem and the sooner we can LTIR him the better

 

[Dekes For Days]

Oh thank god we won that.
Finally have a game where, while sloppy, we actually outplay the opponent, and still almost gave it away.
Woll did help make up for it in OT and the shootout at least.
Huge game by Nylander. Beauty shootout goal by Marner. Robertson looks like an NHLer. Domi has become less bad, so progress there. Nice to have McCabe back.
Now we just need this Klingberg injury to last.. oh maybe a year, and shoot Reaves into the sun, and we may start looking like a team again.

Robertson looks like he's becoming more NHL every shift.

 

[blue stick]

Klingberg was invisible

 

[PROUD PAPA]

Sloppy game but got the 2 points.
Please keep working on the defensive play.

 

[Azail]

If Keefe possessed any competence, Holmberg over Reaves tomorrow

I don't think they have cap space to call anyone up do they? Unless they send down Reaves, which I doubt happens, even if they should.

 

[cyris]

Did it though? He reached back a bit.

It kept going forward even if he got ahead of it.
He did a great job to maintain composure reacquire the puck and pull off a move.

Holmberg is up if I am not mistaken... he should go in

Holmberg is up with the Leafs right now

 

[Leafsfan74]

WillyNy only showing up consistently this season

If it wasn't for him going super saiyan tonight; leafs wouldn't have even gotten a loser point forget about 2 points

The problem is, and it wont be his fault really; once his streak comes to an end he is bound to go cold for awhile while his numbers revert to the mean. It must be be exhausting to keep a streak going

 

[notbias]

I want Holmberg in tomorrow just to see how bad Kampf is this season... is it linemates or has he also been as bad as he looks?

 

[IPS]

Run and gun team. Another rendition. These teams tend to not be very sustainable.

I really wonder if Tre is gonna try change the complexion of the team before the deadline. Nice we won the shootout but the problems stick out like a sore thumb.

 

[Al14]

Matthews and Marner had the night off?

Yep, and Matthews brain dead play in OT is just NOT ACCEPTABLE !!!

At least Marner scored in the shoot-out !!!

 

[Dragao6]

I liked our forward group since the beginning of season
Now that we’re starting to get questions answers with knies up top, hopefully 89 continues like this
Domi and bertuzzi will get going

Now the goaltending and defence is major concern
Fix that and we got something
Maybe new coach also lol

Why not play 11-7, keep kling on bench just for powerplay, sit reaves
2 birds with one stone

 

[Azail]

Holmberg is up if I am not mistaken... he should go in

Oops my mistake.

 

[Sypher04]

He’s definitely a problem and the sooner we can LTIR him the better

I was definitely not insinuating he hasnt been part of our issues
