Post-Game Talk: 2-1 OT Win ... Still alive!

[wingman75]

Love this from Domi.

No bulletin board material please and thank you!

 

[Taylor Halls Teeth]

I predicted a Woll victory but I honestly didn't expect the skaters to outplay the Bruins without Matthews in the lineup. We have a series again and it was because the goalie was strong, not because he stole it. Nice.

 

[Al14]

Our Leafs live to fight, and lose, another day !!!

Great game by everyone !!! Matthews was the difference, although quite invisible !!!

The Bruins will now have PTSD from last season and be super jittery !!!

GO LEAFS GO !!!

 

[Antropovsky]

Asides from time with Matthews, Domi has looked the best at centre this year for sure

And 2nd best winger after Nylander.

 

[Gilmour1996]

What are the chances we keep avoiding Wes MacAuley?

There's more money to be made if series goes 7 games, so they're probably saving Wes for Game 7.

 

[Leafsfan74]

Forget about the goal, Knies is going to be a power forward one day, in the mold of a Gary Roberts. The kid is going to be 15-20 pounds heavier in a few years. He already has a heavy, involved vernacular to his game. His type will be critical.

 

[Gabriel426]

Are we having hope again? Lol

Gutsy win by the boys tonight.
Woll was just Wow.

 

[ThrowDemTongs]

You can hate me because I'm pretty, but not because I'm right. See you in OT in game 7.

Love ya buddy. Never change.

 

[Metroid]

Guess I know what I'm drinking Thursday.. gotta keep it goooooing

Love this from Domi.

Domi talks like he's versed in the school of Mike Babcock without the narcissism.

Seriously though can we hire Domi as a full time media coach too? Holy f*** he handles the Toronto media well.

 

[Dayjobdave]

Great win. Woll came up big. Domi was great out there, and I love JT and Knies ending it!

What we have learned after the last 5 playoff periods:


This team has absolutely no offensive threats when Matthews is not firing on all cylinders.

Marner can't shoot through a wet paper bag.

Rielly has exactly 0 respect among the league for his shot. The Bruins essentially beg him to take wide open, uncontested shots on the power play because there isn't a single person in the building who thinks his shot is in any way a threat to score from the point.

Domi is a pass-only player. He's great at creating, but good f***ing Lord he refuses to shoot. The boy has some deeply ingrained trauma.

Bertuzzi is a disaster all over the ice. I don't mean he's a bad player, no. He is a skating, moveable disaster who causes havoc EVERYWHERE.

Tavares is the only player on the ice with any sort of respect for his medium-range shot. The Bruins may not be afraid of him winning any races, but they do respect him enough to smother him wherever he goes.

Knies is a kid and has a ton of growing to do. He looks like he needs to put aside the high expectations coming into the season of playing on the wing with 34 and 16, and just go out there and dominate physically and get to the front of the net. His future is bright if he just simplifies his game.

Nylander was the exact same old Nylander. Great - terrible - great - ECHL level - good - bad - terrible - just ok - great again!! - WTF was that??? - The guy can't put 2 shifts together where he's both engaged and effective. I've never watched a player as infuriating as Nylander. He is the living embodiment of Frederik Modin's slapshot - 103 mph, but can't hit the net 85% of the time.


The rest of the team is just fillers.

McCabe and Benoit had good games.

lol as long as he doesn't start referring to himself in the third person

 

[blue stick]

It wasn’t a perfect game but it worked. I was concerned when they weren’t moving their legs late in 2nd period. Thankfully they hung on to come out of it with the PP to start the 3rd. The rest was just back and forth hockey, so glad they won. GLG

 

[Stephen]

Now the daunting task of winning a playoff game on home ice

Oh boy

Gotta play rope a dope hockey in hostile territory and hope Boston gets in their own way.

 

[RomanianLeafs]

Knies is going to be a huge part of our future, perfect playoffs player, on the other hand Robertson is not, he was upset not being a regular player but he is invisible..he can go be a 20 25 g scorer somewhere else i dont care

 

[Ianturnedbull]

I am elite

 

[hamzarocks]

lol as long as he doesn't start referring to himself in the third person

Do you smell what the Cock is cooking?

 

[ashs]

look how defeated Boston looked. Toronto still might win

Let's not get ahead of ourselves

 

[Mr_Fun]

I’m sure there were 1000’s of us yelling the same thing. That was a classic overtime winner, so many scored that way.

I was one of them. There was nothing really there to shoot at, but, Swayman still has to play that honestly which meant there's a good chance for a rebound (which there was). Great heads up play from a vet, and a rookie to drive the net looking for some garbage.

No problem, I stole it.

Is it a coincidence or what, I won $140, so we broke even.

 

[ashs]

Looking at our youth. If we were to ever do a quick rebuild, we actually have a lot of the forward pieces, even in the minors.

 

[ZEBROA]

I though the second line was quite bad overall. Maby they were better the last 10 When my brain was numb?

But good that Nylander got one more game to get into the flow.

Dont know about the possibility for Matthews and Mcmann to be back.

First line was great.

 

[Commander Clueless]

McCabe had a terrific game as well.

Maybe we consider promoting him to PP1? He doesn't have Rielly's ability but at least his shot is a threat...
