Now win the next one. A game at a time.

 

[Leafy Undergrowth]

McBackup earned that one.

 

[Space Coyote]

Solid win! Hopefully they can build on this performance and string a few more wins.

 

[The List Of Jericho]

How many of you are firing Babcock now? Nice win, Mcbackup earned the next start. Don't give a crap about Andersen's feelings.

 

[Mad Brills*]

Important game tuesday vs the jets.

 

[Warden of the North]

Feels good

 

[LeafSadist]

Feels good man

 

[Leafs at Knight]

Gardiner decided to turn his brain on tonight

 

[Heritage]

Great game by Mcelhinney! Nice win for the guys, let's hope they keep playing hard and rack up some points!

Go Leafs Go !

 

[Willchel Marlynder]

McElhinney is a stud

 

[Leafs87]

Stupid title

Satisfying win none the less

 

[ThrowDemTongs]

Man, I hope we win the Good Deeds Cup

 

[TMLeafer]

Big time win. McElhinney was outstanding. Brown was motoring all night.

Play Fast. Play Right.

 

[PromisedLand]

for all the correction of JVR's name I had to do tonight....

COMPLETELY WORTH IT!!!!

 

[Goonface2k14]

Gardiner decided to turn his brain on tonight

One of his shot attempts made it through

And one Hail Mary pass on Austons goal

Otherwise same old Jake in the D zone

 

[lovemyleafs]

Sens loss + Leafs win = very happy

 

[Quarter]

McElGoalie did what he needed to. Fantastic.

No, he didn't. He is a backup. He did his job. Why do people want him to be more than he is? He is not a goalie that you give back-to-back starts to unless the number 1 is hurt. 100% Babcock goes back to Andersen for the next game and I won't argue with him either.

 

[LeafingTheWay]

Couldn't watch the game. Few questions:
How'd the game go (Pros/cons)? How'd Rielly/Zaistev and Gardiner/Carrick do?

 

[A4T1L6]

Nice try rookie user

Yep Babs mo is if you play hard and make most of your opportunity you get to keep playing. Let's see what he does now...

 

[Incognito]

Babcock was right when he said that McElhinney was "a real good pro."

Important game tuesday vs the jets.

Good thing we didn't fire Babcock and promote Keefe hey Brills?

 

[Nithoniniel]

I fully expect this to be a disheartening game. It's Canes after all. It's Sunday. It's B2B. I'll be pleasantly surprised with anything better than a blowout.

My predictions are on point as always.

Furthermore, I think it's quite sad that someone can have a rather good game and still get pages of flack around here.
