Post-Game Talk: We win - Ducks really want Bedard - Sammie with B2B shutouts!

[PromisedLand]

I didn’t realize that Holmberg assisted on all 3 goals in the third! Kid had a 3 point night!

He looked really confident out there with the extra ice time. If he can build off of that the Leafs may have found a 3rd line centre in the future.

Is this the first Dubas depth picks in the later rounds that helping the Leafs? Gotta give credit to dubas for that but of course to be seen.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

It was nice to see some depth scoring You'd think a 7-0 score would mean the big boys dominated but they didn't this was a depth game.

 

[ACC1224]

Goalie was great but a pretty easy win.

Upside to a blowout, back in Burlington by 10:15.

 

[saffronleaf]

maybe the most authoritative leafs win i've seen in a while. just wrecked them. touchdown.

 

[egd27]

And guess who we are likely rewarded with as a 1st round opponent? Tampa Bay

I hate this damn playoff format

Yep, would be way better if it went 1-8, 2-7, 3-6, 4-5 then (based on today) we'd only have to play......oh wait.

 

[Oscar Peterson]

Anderson has few goals with NJ ?

Oops I meant as a Maple Leaf !

 

[Cleetus]

didn't those d-bags steal one of our goalies we had signed last season from Europe who had to go through waivers, we can still use a goalie in the AHL

Loving this guy. Good quotes and funny as hell actually wearing the wrestling belt.

Points% is the way to go, teams haven't played the same number of games

As of right now we'd draw the Pens using the 1-8 format and points%. I'll take them over Tampa

That Timmins trade is looking really good so far

 

[WillyC]

Samsonov daring Keefe to make him the starter.

 

[wingman75]

Nice to see a blowout win against a team like the Ducks.

Rocky start, but once we got rolling it was smooth sailing.

And the way the forwards backchecked in the 3rd was just a french kiss.

This is the way.

 

[bax]

This guy seems like a great fit. His interviews are great.

 

[Jacquestrapless]

When jarkrok returns, move malgin to the 4th line. ZAR not really doin much since he was moved away from Kampf. Neither has Malgin, but the latter has hands and drives possession. Jarnkrok, otoh, was productive when moved to the 2nd line.

 

[CabanaBoy5]

Another sign that this team is different. Didn’t fall prey to the potential trap game.

Isn’t it nice to have a good fourth line finally. Pontus with another solid effective game.

Giraffe in, Simmonds out…big improvement. That third line was terrific.

Finally, if not for Sammy in the first period, it might have been a different game. He’s outplaying Murray, and that’s saying a lot.

Thought the same. Leafs could have easily been down a couple early.

TOUCHDOWN TORONTOOOOO

Marner Streak Lives on!! Bunting Streak heating up!!

Glad JT got his and Sammy with another wall performance!!

About time we can do this to basement teams.

 

[Menzinger]

Leafs could hit a new franchise record this season for points. Probably flirt with hitting the NHL record

 

[Cor]

Win a playoff round at least and then we'll talk.

Lazy narrative.

And guess who we are likely rewarded with as a 1st round opponent? Tampa Bay

Lost a hard fought series against them. If a certain goal wasn’t waived off in Game 6, we likely “win a round”.

Gonna be another hard fought series this year if that’s the case.

Firing a GM who we are now seeing results of his drafting (and it’s looking VERY GOOD) and has constantly tried to improve the perceived weaknesses of the team - over a benchmark that ignores all variables?

Madness.

Last years playoff loss wasn’t the same as the ones against Boston. The COVID years weren’t the same as the ones against Boston.

Playoff success is obtained by having regular season success. By having strong drafting abilities. Whether we win a round, or two, who gives a f*** unless you win four.

Throwing that away over irrational impatience despite all evidence is idiotic.

As I said. It’s Gross Negligence to not have extended Kyle Dubas yet. There will be a line of teams licking their chops to hire him.

 

[as Pure as Evil]

murray is our present starter
samson is our starter of the future

Monstars of the crease

 

[Mr_Fun]

We have a goalie with a .926 svp and fans aren't really liking him...lol Such a leafy fan thing.

Me? I'm happy with whomever Keefe decides to go with on any given night right now. It's not like it's Cujo on the bench with Healy starting. Also, huge testament to our overall team D right now. Teams just aren't getting a lot of "sitters" against us right now.

Dude needs a new contract at the end of the season... yikes.

He's an RFA, it will be okay
