Feels good man!!!!

Pleks starting to find his Blue and White rhythm. Looked good with Kappy, and you know he is still a good handful of games before becoming fully accustomed to this new system.

Polak's style of play matching the higher intensity of playoffs. Hes looking good.
Leo same thing.

Kadri, Marner and Nylander lookin good.

Hyman had his moments, where hes good, but sometimes looks to slow, he usually a bit quicker.
All this without Matthews either.

Refs eased off on the babcock hate, and started to see the Pens dirty plays.
The senseless Malkin vs Nylander hit was the turning point for the refs IMO.


Bring on the playoffs!!!

GO LEAFS GO!!!!!

Thought both Komarov and Polak had great games. How many times can you say that?

Kapanen and Leivo both played well and that was probably Pleks best game so far.

Andersen played well.

Considering we had a long layoff it feels good to beat a elite contender right out of the gate.

Given how hot Pittsburgh has been the Leafs did as good of a job as they could have to contain their offense.

Really happy to see the PP starting to roll. It's been MIA for too long and will be an X factor in the playoffs.

Made up for the loss to Buffalo with this one.

Really starting to miss Matthews.

LOL at the poster in the GDT that was arguing the Leafs can't find a player that's better than Komarov that also can kill penalties.

Very happy they won and the losing streak is over.

I was also very happy to see Marleau score in the empty net and never screamed yes so loud when he did. I had flash backs to when they blew that 4-1 lead in the Centennial Classic.
