... so he didn't deter his teammate getting head pounded on the ice? Yeah, ok. Kampf also got levelled pretty good and at least Domi got up on his horse, even if he didn't do much.

Useless for sure.
Lol Reaves immediately challenged zadorov. If you wanted him to jump Zadorov, then we dont get a powerplay to take the lead

Then you and everyone else would've called Reaves a dumbass for engaging Zadorov to take the PP away

Not to mention the refs were already in between things before anything could kick off.

Just a weird thing to pick on him about all things considered.

He challenged him? That's what you call a challenge?

And sure ok, don't do anything right away because of the pending PP. There was 30 ish minutes left in the game? What did he do then?

Always excuses for Reaves...

I knew they would win tonight, they got so close against Boston in the last game that I KNEW the losing streak against Boston was ending tonight.

Plus they have a weirdly strong record without Auston Matthews that I have never been able to understand but they do.

I am old school as anyone get around here. I appreciate that part of the game. But he's getting paid 1.5 and he's slow otherwise. if he's adding that element and sending a message, then there are other players who get paid league minimum can bring that

I mean, I'd bring that Rempe kid in to be an x-factor if we wanted an enforcer, but I think you generally just want a tough mean player who can play in that role... Lorentz is not bad.

Are you serious? You wanted Reaves to jump through the ref and start throwing punches? He would've gotten an instigator and guess what, we on the PK

Do something yeah? Isn't he there for that? He also had 30 minutes of hockey do thing just about anything. Take a run at someone... get mad... But sure, he's awesome?

All I see is excuses.

Great game, very good special teams. Stolarz is awesome, best FA signing this year. Not always trying to find Matthews on the PP helped.
Knies is an absolute beast please sign him long term!

BOS is not good. Don't know how many times I've said that.

But it's about f***ing time TOR beat that team in the RS. Beating the Bruins without Matthews... why does that feel familiar?

He didn't have to necessarily fight at that exact moment, but he should be on deck to occasionally send the signal that he shouldn't be messed with and neither should the Leafs...

This team plays well when they're missing one of their big name players.
It's almost as if, once the team knows they will be shorthanded, the mentality changes and everyone knows they will need to step up and the group comes ready to battle and play hard for 60.

The leafs literally bullied the Bruins tonight. So much so that their fanbase over there is losing it at how there was no physical pushback by the Bruins at all

This is such a werid thing to pick on Reaves over lmao :laugh:

Stolarz an absolute stud. Chances are we lose this game with Woll in.

Marner was great offensively and defensively. He will get paid, it’s a matter of greater or less than 12million.

Tanev is sooo steady back there. He has to be healthy for the playoffs.

The PP figuring they have to shoot pucks with a net front presence. Maybe they’ve figured this out but this board told them to do this years ago.

Seems pretty clear to me. I just pointed out that he's useless and tonight was a good representation of being useless if he isn't going to do what he should be doing. If you want to defend it by just excusing it that it's no biggie, then that's fine.
