Post-Game Talk: Record Setting 4-3 OT Win

[Jacquestrapless]

That 2nd line is bleak. Tavares, especially, thinks he can dangle 1v2 or snipe it from the blue line. Keefe needs to figure something out. Can't just be a 1 line team again in the playoffs.

Campbell is another question mark.

Holl should probably sit. Brodie could use a game off or two.

Joe Bowen's call in OT:

 

[Drytoast]

Good for you pappi. well done.

 

[kb]

This team needs more Liljegren, less pumpkin.

 

[Smif]

Nylander had a great location for watching Matthews score from his pass. The bench.

marner was such a passenger on that goal.

Odd comment... Wasn't everyone a passenger? I mean it was a one man rush...

 

[Brown Dog]

Now I'm glad Dallas tied it late in a game they had no business being in...just so we could have that finish!

 

[BertCorbeau]

Glad Keefe is putting the d-pairings in a blender. Need to get that figured out for the playoffs - who has instant chemistry.

Now try:

Rielly-Lyub
Gio-Lily
Muzzin-Brodie

The D just kept a pretty decent team to less than 20 shots in more than 60.mins.....

Had to watch the game on delay, thank goodnes for NHL Live, or NHLtv... whatever it is called.

That was one of the most entertaining games of the season I thought.
No idea how we didn't win that in regulation. Dallas battles hard.
Liked everyones game tonight. There are still blips here and there from some of the D, but overall great game imo.
That is more like the Muzzin we need... he was moving more freely and playing physical.
Matthews just matthewsing... amazing.
Bunting having a hard time lately, still playing hard but wonder if a visit to the 2nd line might kill two birds.
7 out of 8 points on the roadtrip... fantastic.

Now I guess we settle in for the obligatory loss vs les Habitants on Saturday.

 

[Jmo89]

Captain Morgan just has a better ring to it. He was my top choice at the time as well.

Same. Rielly went through the dark years here.

 

[Mr_Fun]

Absolutely filthy by Matthews.

Lily back next game, please and thanks.

Bowen's calls:

Why on earth are Leaf fans saddled with those cost accountant style announcers at Sportsnet? Hell, even the Canucks have their home team guys. For the love of god, bring back Bowen and Ralph.

 

[McSnypsky]

Don’t see how it’s even possible 34 doesn’t come through in the playoffs now. Isn’t the same player, he’s hit his prime now and it’s ridiculous, 200 feet of it.

And that's just his schwartz!!

The Leafs offense really was their defense.

Leafs owned most of the game offensively, and once the puck was in the Leafs zone it wasn't pretty.

 

[CabanaBoy5]

An absolutely dominating performance by the team. Scary that somehow a game like that can go to overtime.

Matthews is the best Leaf I’ve ever seen, and I’m old enough to have watched Dave Keon play. Just overpowering and unstoppable.

I disagree, Tavares was excellent tonight and has been pretty good for a few weeks now, IMO.

 

[WillyC]

Are we not entertained?

 

[Dragao6]

Joe Bowen's call in OT:

Can uI arch these games with Bowen?

 

[Dekes For Days]

How do you say anything but wow.

Just give him the Hart now. And the Rocket. And the Lindsay. And the Selke. Just throw all the MFing awards at this man.

One of the most dominant games that I've ever seen anybody play.
He wanted that record goal, and he would not be denied.
He wanted that OT GWG, and he would not be denied.

Best goal scorer in the entire cap era.

Generational.

 

[3blizzard4]

Joe Bowen's call in OT:

Love it! Both calls were absolutely spot on!

 

[ULF_55]

Kind of reminded me of Crosby.

 

[MattySnipes]

Baby matthews....feels like just yesterday.

Time is flying.

 

[ToMaLe]

Congrats AM34 on the new Leafs goal scoring record.

 

[Squiffy]

Every single period Dallas hits the ice still wearing that uniform should be 2m for unsportsmanlike

 

[Superstar]

The D just kept a pretty decent team to less than 20 shots in more than 60.mins.....

Dallas is not just decent, they are freakin' desperate for points...they were opportunistic on their scoring chances, but they couldn't hang with the Leafs...they were shutout 3-0 against the Leafs last game and tonight would have been a blowout if not for Wedgewood.
