Post-Game Talk: Sweet McDavid Tears

[Confucius]

Love to have Bobby though

Ryan? I like what Burke said a few years ago, he couldn't spell intensity. I think you can't win with Ryan either.

 

[fahad203]

Nick Foligno.

Would love to see Nick on the leafs uniform. If he can bring Jenner with him would be even better
I love those throw back players

 

[MattySnipes]

Good guy Jack.

 

[Zybalto]

Gally/Tavares/Willy line 5v5 stats so far:

TOI: 30:03
CF%: 61.18
SF% 62.67
SCF% 79.88
HDCF% 90.25
xGF% 81.70
GF% 63.96

Jeezus....thats just utter domination. Nice it paid off a bit tonight and a little more puck luck would be nice to pump up that GF%.

I really hope we don't get Hall

Far better fits for what this team needs in my opinion. Cheaper too, I don't care how much the Sabres eat.

This can be their year, Dubas has to get it right. Have, Option A, B or C, Hall should be option C. If it were me, I'd rather grab a solid, physical D man, than Hall. I'd prefer Robertson play up with this team than Hall.

I've never found him to be money when needed and Galchenyuk has been working his tail off. He's been involved in every game, no complaints from where I sit, as long as he plays the right way when he doesn't have the puck.

Well what are you expecting him to do? He has 2 goals, JT has 11 and some are crapping on him.

 

[Leafsfan74]

Good guy Jack.

He is too hard on himself tonight. I don't blame him for any of the goals, and, he stymied McDavid when it mattered. If he doesn't make that point blank save against the best offensive player in the game, the Leafs don't even sniff overtime.

Just stay cool and confident, and all will go well.

Oilers fans saying we were lucky to win with that fluke goal. I guess they forgot they’re lucky we didn’t win it in regulation due to Smith’s fluke saves.

Better to be lucky than to lose...

Awesome
Just keep Hyman on the 1st line , leave him though !!!!
One of the problems nowadays , they don’t look at 3 player lines , only twosomes ..
Hyman deserves being there , he’s as important as AM and MM , that’s what makes up a great line
Corner man , passer , shooter , but they all work hard

 

[fahad203]

JT's linemates so far, Mikhayev( no hands), Simmonds(no hands no legs), Kerfoot( I don't know what he brings) and Vesey (see Kerfoot)

Along with Nylander who is very moody and has looked slow this year

Maybe pair up JT with Marner again, you know he did score 47 goals with him on his wing. Maybe get someone who can play with him

 

[Leaf4Life]

Good guy Jack.

Andsersen after getting lit up for 5 savable goals: "I don't see how I could have done anything different to be honest, I'm happy with my game."

 

[Teeder Keon]

Oilers fans calling Matthews Sean Monahan lol. Never seen a saltier fan base.

 

[al secord]

At least Buffalo has good chicken wings.

For the playoffs if we got anybody, I agree with the guy that I gave a like to he said Foligno. we need more grit not a guy that is going to get pummelled

 

[zeke]

No, they didn't. Two were great passes for one timers by Galcy, one was a double deflection in OT with Taveres the closest Leaf to the net, and one was a lucky bounce off Engvall.

1. Engvall charging to the front of the net, within 5 feet of the goal.
2. Tavares and galy both within 5 feet of the goal.
3. 2 guys in the goalmouth scramble, willy open in the high slot.
4. Man right in the crease, puck goes off the dman covering him.

Holy shit, anyone saying this was a poor game from Campbell needs their heads checked. He let in one goal that was somewhat weak (Nurse) and had no chance on the other two which were incredible plays/shots by the Oilers. More importantly, he didn't let in any of those grade A chances in the 3rd which kept us in the game and allowed the boys to fight back. I can only imagine the nonsense that will be posted when he does have a bad game.

 

[McSnypsky]

So was that the aces fastball or the #2s changeup

Matts went with the knuckler

Get 3 goals on 20 shots, out attempted 45-25, with 4 posts, complain about luck

Not a poor game but some poor goals. Nurse goals should have been stopped same with Barrie
But he was stellar

Leafs are simply the better more talented team. Oilers have two great players that drag them to greater heights than they collectively deserve, and a bunch of meh after that.

Well, some aren't seeing the same game I'm watching. He's not lights out as he was two years ago, but the team is far more complete and successful thus far. THAT is what fans should focus on. Not just goals and points.

For me, in this year in particular, I just want to see a solid, committed team game. Tavares in my opinion has played a very good stretch of games, he's had more jump even when not scoring. He looked more sluggish early on, but he seems to have found his mojo.

Playoff success, should be the goal, with their eyes solely on winning the Cup. I guarantee everyone on this board that players like Thornton, Spezza and Simmonds would greatly appreciate a ring. I fully expect that they will be contributing greatly when it matters most.

 

[ThrowDemTongs]

Good guy Jack.

As if he said that. What a beaut

 

[Da Cool Rula]

Think this comeback may be the turning to get the boyz back on track

 

[Mats13]

Another priceless McDavid reaction.

View attachment 413700

He’s the fastest player in the world on offence but he turns into Jason Allison on defence

That back check in OT was hilarious

 

[CabanaBoy5]

I'm not sure what to make of all the bad reviews for him coming in. He skates like Bure compared to what was said and has been pretty damn solid overall.

I always knew he was talented but I didn’t know he hustles the way he does. I’m impressed.
