Post-Game Talk: Leafs win 5-2

[LeafChief]

damn, now we have to wait until wednesday for another game.

Smh

Vince - you changed your username again?

 

[MattySnipes]

Feels good man

We started off a little sluggish which is obvious since we hadn't played a real game in over 3 days, Fred made the key saves which was huge. Home winning streak at 10 games.

 

[hotpaws]

Andy comes through for us and we snap our losing streak !!!!!

 

[Nithoniniel]

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.

Probably the same guy who told me that Komarov would be better than most wingers on the Pens team.

 

[Drew311]

I thought the Leafs were going to get blown out tonight. There has been so many games this year where you come in thinking it will be a stinker, but they continually beat the best teams in the league. This team seems to know when to elevate their play, which bodes well for the playoffs.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Zaitsev has to get his shit together, because it doesn't look like we really need him

 

[BertCorbeau]

Good thing the Leafs won. Literally every team playing against the Leafs divisional foes (Tampa, Boston, Florida) are not helping out at all in the last month.

 

[Zybalto]

uh oh, Florida won again. Better not get our hopes up yet!

 

[Albus Dumbledore]

so many missed calls, leafs get one grey area call our way and thats the biggest crime of the game, not the 2-3 weak calls against us, or the many blatant trips and interference which pens were never called for smh.

Glad we dug in and got the win.

 

[Thissiteisgarbage]

I sense the Penguins time has come and is now gone. Still a great team, but they aren't the force they were even a year ago.
Probably the Bolts this season, but we are not far off...

 

[Liferleafer]

Quiet 3 point night for Rielly.

 

[moon111]

I honestly thought that no-goal/penalty for goaltending interference was bull. But listening to this game on a Pittsburgh feed and reading some of their fans comments, the no-goal really feels good. It's like they totally deserved it. Of course it's bias towards Toronto.

That would be me and your lame.

big 2 points! little shaky at the end but we played good tonight!

Couple weak decisions at the end, both Rielly and Marleau had a chance to clear the zone.

However, was a solid game after they got going, and Plekanec with Leivo and Kapanen is a worthwhile line.

 

[AppsSyl]

Beating PIT without Matthews is BIG!
Lots to be happy about tonight:
-Kappy and Leivo played well
-Plekanec looked good, and like the player I was expecting when we traded for him
-Nylander/Marner line held their own against a red hot Malkin, and Nylander passes a big test at C
-Andersen looked to be back to his old self
-Dermott looked good again
-POLAK looked good
-Kadri potted a couple edging closer to 30 goals
-Marner's goal puts him 1 away from 20
-We got a goalie interference call in our favour
-Rielly hits 40 pts
-And most importantly, we ended the 4 game losing skid!!!

 

[PromisedLand]

Always nice to see Crosby whine and lose but it is twice as good when Leafs win

I thought Willy was fine at center; his line not doing much was IMHO a direct result of absolutely CLUELESS Hyman both in the defensive zone and offensive zone

P.S. Someone punch Malkin's face in for that dangerous hit on Nylander

 

[Liminality]

PK unit was A+ tonight. Hyman had the most time for the forwards at 3:31 on the PK

 

[BertCorbeau]

Is Kappy becoming a Pens killer?

 

[56 Years No Cup]

Overcame the slow start for a gud win.

lol @ Hughson:

"Marleau, scores"

never heard such disappointment in his voice

he wasn't. why do people try to make this a thing.

 

[PromisedLand]

Good thing the Leafs won. Literally every team playing against the Leafs divisional foes (Tampa, Boston, Florida) are not helping out at all in the last month.

let tampa and boston peak in regular season; Leafs will do all their peaking in the playoffs

 

[Daisy Jane]

Is Kappy becoming a Pens killer?

wants to stick it to them for trading him.

 

[LeafChief]

That would be me and your lame.

The simpletons always return for more.
