Post-Game Talk: Bent But Not Broken | Leafs Win 2-1

[LeafGrief]

People are still pining for Leo freaking Komarov?

Good grief



We beat the damn Lightning in a super important game and clearly outplayed them. And you want an overpaid 4th line player who never actually fought people? He isnt going to drag Killorn off Freddy. He didnt 5 years ago and he isnt doing it now.

Komarov would call him a slimeball in three or four languages and that's about it.

 

[Warden of the North]

"LEO KOMAROV will intimidate them!"

Brad Marchand literally LICKED his face. He mocked the great LEO KOMAROV.

Did the Chicago goalie get credit for the win? Thought the Zamboni Driver was the 1st to do this.

Scott Foster was the CHI goalie. He was not credited for the win.

Not sure why Ayres got the win. It was 4-1 when he came in and the Leafs only ended up with 3, he played less than 30 minutes. I suppose I'm thinking in terms of a pitcher.

Goaltender
A goaltender receives a win, tie or loss if he is on the ice when either the game-winning or game-tying goal is scored.

Ayres was not on the ice when CAR scored the 4th goal, was he?

Too bad Leafs were missing Muzzin, Mikheyev and Johnsson.

Not sure we'll ever see a full line-up.

Rielly's 1st. game, I'm sure he'll get better.

Sandin and Barrie not the best games. One's a teenager so I suspect he'll earn his contract.

Andersen was good.

Tavares never seems to have any space.

Bottom 6 was okay, thought Clifford had one of his better games.

Hopefully not a meaningless win. Next dozen games will determine that.

Does Sandin get sent to the Marlies to protect that 40 game ELC deal? He’s looked lost at times out there.

One would think so.

Who really needs a Sandin when you have a Marincin?

Rielly-Ceci
Dermott-Holl
Marincin-Barrie
Rosen

Send him down for a couple games and then recall him.

He was.

Carolina was up 3-1 when Mrazek went down. As a result, Clifford got a penalty for Goalie Interference, for which Carolina scored.

Then of course Ayres let in 2 goals, meaning he was on the ice for the game winner

Must have been 3-1 when he entered the game.

Yes he does seem to be struggling a bit.
Such is life with rookie defensemen.

That entire sequence leading up to the Tampa goal was a gong show between Sandin and Barrie, followed by Nylander not picking anyone up.

 

[BlueForever75]

Great effort in 1st period. Team looked like a team possessed.

2nd period was a good team in TB rebounding from being outplayed in the 1st. But the Leafs did well to hold their push.

3rd period to me was even.

Hilarious, NYI fans are turning on this guy big time.

He wasn't a fighter either, or an enforcer of any kind, not sure how he'd help. I do miss Kadri, though.

If he has to sit out 1 game I would sit him against Boston

Guys like him have a very short life of usefulness. He outlived his in Toronto, and wasn't re-signed. Paying him 3M on the cap during his declining years is foolish.

I mean, I like the guy. He had a role. But hes not intimidating anyone or beating people up.

And yet the best thing is for him to play....

 

[Duffman955]

People really expect teams to dominate Tampa for 60 minutes? You think they are going to roll over and allow that?

We played a great game and got the win.

 

[ACC1224]

And yet the best thing is for him to play....

Yep.
Guess the question is, live with the growing pains on the Leafs or give him large minutes on the Marlies?

 

[Suntouchable13]

Our offence has taken a dip. Haven't scored more than 2 since Vancouver game. I am sure it's temporary.

Agreed. If we came at them with that quality of a game, we'd have a shot in a 7 game series.

Col lost to the Kings - trade everybody!

And yet if we won 5-4 the hacks in the media would be sceaming how we cant win low event "playoff type" hockey

You're not going to dominate any Team in the league for 60 minutes.
Teams have let downs during games, the key is limiting them to shifts not periods.

 

[Nineteen67]

It would have been a much easier decision had they not taken last week off.

i forget who pointed it out, but the Kings are on a 6 game win streak

If i was a fan, id be pissed theyre messing up the tank
