Post-Game Talk: Big Win 4:1 vs Calgary

[MJ65]

That explains it!

That was a solid game, Andersen made the saves, Smith has 2 own goals.

Kadri and Stone goals pure shots.

It was a good game by Leafs after a while

 

[FlareKnight]

Good game. The Leafs played well for most of it and were only slowed down by some strong goaltending. We outshot our opponent which was refreshing. I think Andersen was plain confused and is still wondering where all the other shots he usually faces in a night went .

A lot of good efforts. Hyman had a strong game, Zaitsev was really good on the blueline tonight, Andersen made a few shocking saves (too bad he didn't get that empty netter), and even guys who didn't score like Marner had some strong nights. Good way to start a road trip.

They said that the goal was challenged by the war room in Toronto.

Yeah it’s league policy, anything in the last two minutes is reviewed.

What a defensive effort made by whole team every1 on the roster gets a cookie

 

[The List Of Jericho]

Andersen has the best save percentage in November amongst goalies in the NHL....after that terrible October, quite the change.

 

[Kiwi]

The reaction to Polak’s goal from Marner is amazing.

Great win, and nice solid professional effort

Marner is a classic, poor bugger can't by a goal and that shot 15 foot wide goes in

Hockey is a cruel game sometimes

"they" are idiots, it was calgary. NHL has to be run by even bigger idiots if they want to challenge an empty-netter with 0.1 seconds left...oh wait.

Maybe we just let the backup play in October..

 

[MJ65]

Pretty solid 3 periods by the Leafs after a long time

 

[firstemperor]

I hope everyone who complains about the leaf defensemen took a long close look at that supposed elite group of calgary dmen and saw every one of their horrible giveaways and men left open in front. even the gio-dougie pair got run over shift after shift, while the brodie-hamonic pair was shambolic.

their dcorps certainly didn't look as good as our dcorps.

I never want to hear that word ever again (shambolic) but well said

 

[MapleLeafistan]

Stamps and Flames fall to Toronto this week. Damn.

 

[Polaris1010]

See! A-ha!

The league is anti-Leafs!

The refs did not call enough penalties against the Leafs, so they resort to this!

Boooooooooooooooooo!

[Thread The Needle]

Feels great man. Feels great to see them play the whole game. Feels great to beat Calgary in Calgary. Feels great to see my boy Kadri keep it up!

 

[Apollo Leaf]

Not to be a downer...but i think matthews is hurt he didnt look into the game, slow and didnt have his normal zip and magic

Anyone agree that injury he had a cpl weeks ago is bugging him?

Yeah, I noticed that too. Seems like he isn’t at 100% imo.

 

[Zybalto]

Almost had the impossible of both Mcdavid and Matthews not getting shots but Mcdavid managed one.

Solid game from Matthews with good defence and an assist despite his shot sytrak being snapped.

You can't base their overall play on one game.

Boooooooooooooooooo!

Im like 99% sure it’s league policy on all goals with 2 minutes left. It’s to stop the possibility of a blown offside call if the coach is unable to challenge.

 

[MJ65]

What a shot by Kadri - the guy is just killing it

 

[wingman75]

Crisp game. Nice to see some tape to tape passes all over the ice, but especially coming out of our zone. Seems like the morning skate did some good!

Man, do I ever appreciate these TSN games... I wish Rogers would just hand the NHL package back with an apology.

 

[zeke]

You can't base their overall play on one game.

i can show you numbers from a lot more than one game.
but you wouldn't believe them.

 

[jrgtml67]

Other than that...defensively best game of the year. Ya can say luck on Polak goal but oh well we out played them bad.

I hope Matthews gets his game back soon. He was reaching a lot tonight and his normal quick start and stops didnt occur, along with his puck stealing. He again to me looked slow...I hope if he is injured we rest him...this is our franchise guy.

 

[bobermay]

Bring on the Oilers!

 

[MJ65]

Look like Nithonel is not fit tonight and not going to come out of that bullpen

Down to number throwing again zeke, your numbers are as acurate as a WW1 topedo.
