Post-Game Talk: Toronto Maple Leafs beat New York Islanders 3-1: PG 11 Postgame Talk

I think (I could be completely wrong) that on hometown hockey, the stars are picked by a couple of kids. Could just be that one of them likes Lupul.

Bernier let more shots hit the post than he made decent saves. Leaf skaters dominated for the most part and easily could have had another 2 or 3 goals without Greiss stepping up and a little luck.

Leafs shots hit the post 3 times too.

Why was Lupul 1st star? Did I miss something?

They mentioned it in the third period that two fans were selecting the 3 Stars.

One was a blonde chick. I can only imagine Lupul's *ahem* "swagger" won the day.

The Leafs continue to knock off the better teams in the league. I can't wait until Babcock has more talent to work with on this roster.

How about those Babcock Maple Leafs ?

Team continues to show signs that his system is starting to take hold and the team continues to make things difficult for the opposition.

I thought they picked, Bozak as 1st. star, Greiss and ?Bernier?

“We have different systems now and we’re doing a better job of playing with (the) system,†said Tyler Bozak, who along with Michael Grabner scored 1:40 apart in the second period to lead the Maple Leafs to a 3-1 victory over the New York Islanders on Sunday night.

After going 1-7-2 in October, the Leafs are 12-7-5 in November and December. Toronto has recorded at least one point in seven of its last eight games (5-1-2). Overall, the Leafs are 13-14-7.

``Guys are buying in,'' Bozak said.

I'm sure it makes it easier for everyone when you don't have some lone wolf playing his own game and refusing to change to a system the coach wants to implement.

It was Bozak 1st star, Greiss #2 and uncle Leo was named #3 by those young guns ask to pick them.

Thanks.

I was away from the broadcast but overheard it in the background.

NHL.com I think does their own thing.

I thought we would split this 2 game back to back series with NYI but winning in Brooklyn was a pleasant surprise.

Now Babcock gets last change, I expect Tavares will have his x-mate lining up against him all game, but hopefully Kadri has learned something at the dot, to at least make it even.

The 3 stars named at Barclays Center were Grabner (3), Kulemin (2) and Lupul (1). Didn't really make much sense to me, the goalies each deserved a star.

Definitely a fun game to be at, and I had a blast cheering on the boys in blue in enemy territory.

Gotta say, for a state of the art arena, it was not built with hockey in mind one bit. There were suite locations where you literally couldn't see the home team net, and the whole area of seating at that end was messed up, with obstructions even close to ice level. So a warning to anyone making a trip in the coming years, sit at centre ice or closer to the away team's net.

The post are not the net. Its no different than shootijg wide.

even easier when your coach has a real system and knows how to implement it.

The hometown broadcast has different stars than the ones NHL picks
