Post-Game Talk: STAYING ALIVE Leafs Win 2-1

[BertCorbeau]

Just win the next one

Do that and things start to get interesting in there dressing room

Yep.. Leafs can't fall victim to playing loose hockey at home like they did in games 1 and 2. They need that full 60 effort.

 

[Ports]

He doesn't have to fight him. Refs had them both grabbed. Give him a taste of his own medicine and punch him in the face a couple times with your glove on. Don't just sit there and smile and take it after the games over because nobody is going to the box anyways.

No sense wishing for something will never happen.

 

[keonsbitterness]

Nylander is the Leafs most talented player and it’s not even close. They need to get him signed for $8-9M and find a way to motivate him to bring that more often. Matthews will not be worth the money he wants.

He's not, but he's playing the best of the big guns right now.

 

[BayStBullies]

We are not a complete joke! Only a partial one!!

 

[Ports]

Aw, you made my block list!

Good. Thank you.

 

[wingman75]

Apparently this is a known saying, but I only came across it today and wanted to find a use...

Bennett is a douche canoe.

Prove me wrong.

 

[Ports]

He's not, but he's playing the best of the big guns right now.

So who is?

 

[Steven1562]

Cliche but 1 game at a time and 1 shift at a time. Focus on making positive plays and know mistakes will happen but focus on the next positive play.

Defend like that and get that level of goaltending life becomes far more difficult for the Panthers

We've played into there hands way to often

 

[nuck]

Feels good. One game at a time and nice to be able to ignore the off season shit for a bit longer. Go Joe!

[keonsbitterness]

So who is?

He's going through a rough patch right now, but Matthews has the most physical talent in my opinion.

 

[Larcos_Unal]

Good win boys, don't start the circle jerk train just yet...we're only at 25% of the way there.

Look at some point, Acciari/Schenn/McCabe are gonna have to AT LEAST have some stern words for Bennett, Montour & Tkachuk...I'm not saying go McSorley on Brashear but christ have some self respect.

 

[TMLeafer]

Real tough guy that Bennet.

Is a misconduct at the end of the game an automatic suspension review? Or was that a fighting major only?

 

[34]

Yes, the f***ing loser Oilers always getting swept.

 

[PromisedLand]

Nice to not get swept and see effort to not fold. Only saw the third but they were a lot cleaner with the puck, sharp like we saw mostly in the regular season.

Really nice to see Nylander and Marner step up, particularly Marner on the GWG.

Woll is looking good.

Home ice hasn't been kind to them in these playoffs, but if they can win that one .. they have some momentum going.

GWG was all Lily IMO eventhough he didn't get the assist he was beastly on that shift

 

[Rants Mulliniks]

We’ve played a mostly good series and really should be in a better position wins wise but no bounces we’re going for us. Just continue to play like tonight and chip away.

 

[Bomber0104]

So don't post a crow-eating thread?!

 

[Mr_Fun]

Decent defensive battle but this penchant for only scoring 2 goals in a game likely comes to an end on Friday; either we score more than two or we are staying in Toronto.

 

[egd27]

Sam Bennett should have had a stick broken over his bald head

I was thinking accidently fall on it.....shin pad first.

 

[Kiwi]

I'm surprised somebody hadn't had a rush of blood to the head and done something to him

You would think guys would be lining up to cheap shot him

 

[tmlms13]

I can't do that.

I've put like half this site on the ignore list.

The same people claiming that Toronto was favoured to win the cup all of a sudden start screaming they want everyone traded away and fired, etc.

To be fair Toronto was the betting favourite to win the Cup at the start of round 2. But that is a function of how sports betting works so it doesn't mean they are the favourites.

 

[Smif]

The lack of ELCs has hurt Dubas since he took over.

How bout Gio, Bunting, Knies, Kampf... he's replaced the ELC's with veteran value contracts. Also, Lily and Robertson if they panned out.

 

[Stonehands 1]

Real tough guy that Bennet.

He only got 2 min, same as mcCabe

Save it for next season. Not worth giving up the PP here... margin for error is still 0.
