Post-Game Talk: Sweet McDavid Tears

[Da Cool Rula]

Good lord don't expect a shutout every night Soup. You gave us a shot to win and we took it.

Truth!!!!

 

[HogTown06]

Nothing better than a comeback victory you say?

Go have a look at the Oilers' PGT...

Leafs definitely had more chances at even strength. Smith and bad luck went a long way for Edmonton.

 

[Confucius]

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

I find it strange how a shot from the hashmarks is a bad goal but a deflection from the hashmarks is impossible to stop.

Movement, but neither are impossible. Tonight's was a bad goal, strong side shot with time to cut the angle and setup.

 

[GardinerTheForward]

He’s an amazing hockey player

We all know it but why would we like him when he’s playing against us

I’ll cheer for him when he’s on team Canada

Canada’s team *

That’s cause the Leafs have the Refs in their back pocket. Lol

 

[GardinerTheForward]

He's one step above living in Winnipeg you'd be miserable too.

I would rather play for the Jets than the Oil. This heavily compensates for the fact that The peg is a step down from Edmonton.

Having to play at ES is unfair.

 

[HolyCrap]

Having to play at ES is unfair.

Yup. Refs shoulda gave them a few dozen power plays. Unreal.

 

[CanadasTeam]

Edmonton is now 7-9-1 against playoff teams in this division

We're 11-3-1

And what is the Leafs record vs. Oilers so far?

I want to know who the Oilers daddy is.

 

[stickty111]

Honestly we didn't deserve to be down 3-1, so the comback was deserved.
Good important win. The 2nd line came to life and Matthews is back.

6-1-1

 

[flying v 604]

So after the 2nd I was like screw this.

Watching the game didn't help, maybe if I turn it off they'll do better.

Just got my phone and looked up The Score App. Lol

Maybe I should watch games less often.

Ha I do the same thing during Nuck games, it's gotten to the point if we go down by 2 I'll shut it off till there's about 10 mins left.
That way I didn't waste my time watching them lose and if they came back to tie or take the lead I get to watch what would most likely be the best part of the game.

I've badmouthed Tavares a lot this season, but that was a nice way to give the Leafs a comeback. Galchenyuk had two apples and had a very good game. Nylander scores in spurts, so he's doing what he always does.

Matthews has had an awful lot of bad luck in terms of converting on his chances the last 5 games or so. Karma decided to pay him back and give him the game winner.

Lucky bounces happen in hockey, but I still feel that Toronto was the better team tonight overall.

Campbell showed his first signs of being human on that first goal against. I really love him, but not sure he's going to be the answer as #1. I know that Andersen is still their #1 goaltender when he comes back, but I don't think he's the answer either.

It'll be interesting to see what happens in the off season in terms of replacing our number one goaltender.

You bad mouth the team. Every GDT. All game long.

I really doubt Andersen still has the job of a starter when he comes back. He hasn’t skated for the past week, takes time to come back even he’s cleared and if the standings are still close, there is no way Keefe is going to play Andersen unless back to backs.

Campbell has to either be injured or really f*** up badly to not be the goalie starting game 1 of the playoffs.

 

[CelticDruid]

Nylander and Tavares only played 15 mins tonight.

Played Marner 25 mins.

The 2nd line needs way more mins than what they are currently getting.

PP selections are crazy too!


Some of Keefes choices have a lot to be desired.

 

[ER89]

I'm sick of seeing these kinds of posts after every Leafs win. How about you try to stay a little classy... why worry about lurking Oilers fans?

On topic, that was an amazing comeback win! I thoughts Gally was a difference maker tonight.

why do you care? Why don't you worry about your own posts- there is an ignore button.

Campbell looked human tonight, but he did enough to get the win. I wouldn’t imagine the trust for Andersen is there anymore.

 

[Gabriel426]

JT needs to shoot more instead of carrying the puck.
Willie needs to hang around the net.
Gally is great after his brief stay on the 4th line. Think he understands what he needs to do to stick in the top 6.
If Kerfoot is our 4C, would much rather have someone who can play better D.
Campbell gave the team a chance, something that Leafs lacked over the past 10 games.

IMO, Andersen will start as soon as he is considered healthy

 

[NK94]

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.

I sure hope Tippet keeps putting McDavid and Draisaitl on the same line. The rest of their roster has no answer to the Leafs depth and it screws them over.

 

[LeafsGuy16]

I missed this one celebrating my Pops 60th! We ended up spending most of the night outside/in the garage because, well f*** you know. We’re both diehards, and couldn’t believe the score line when we saw. Huge come back and a bunch of slump busters! Engvall, Tavares, Nylander and of course boy wonder!

Dad’s got the game recorded and is probably watching it as I type this. I’m not as fortunate - anyone know a place I can re-watch the entire 60? If you could drop me a PM it would be hugely appreciated!

Go Leafs Go!!!

That second line wasn't doing much earlier on but I do question the minute distribution, especially now that Matthews and Marner have come back down to earth.
