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

[Kiwi]

That was a nice professional win

Andersen looks back to his best
The special teams looked miles better
The team as a unit looks much better defensively

I didn't love the 2nd period but over the balance of the game I thought we were the better team and deserved the win

Also this team just continues to confound, California trip them this against Tampa is just so ridiculous it almost makes sense at this point

@Hollywood North Andersieve?

@Hollywood North missing the playoffs guaranteed right?

You know the minute we retaliate, we go on the PK, and lose the game right?

You don't go on a PK while pulling off a Tampa player's entire body and knees lodged off of your goalie's back.

 

[On-the-Fly]

Ladies and gentlemen after three rounds we go to the judges scorecards for a decision. All three judges score the fight 29-28 for your winner .....

 

[Superstar]

Once again the Leafs play a 40 minute game.... Lucky to win it.

If Hedman is there on the PK do they get 2 PPGs?

C'mon man...if the Leafs had Rielly and Muzzin would they lose those games in California? They put it together and won tonight.

Big two points and happy with the win but still a bit annoyed with the contact Freddy took with no response. Ffs protect Andersen. Go Leafs Go

 

[Havoc]

Aside from the big 4 and Freddy, I thought Dermott had a great game and Ceci was also very solid. Engvall had his best in a while (so close!) and the fourth line were buzzing. I saw Malgin hit a guy. Really strong team effort overall.

Only player that I didn't notice at all was Kerfoot. Looks like he had just 9 minutes at ES tonight, about the same as the 4th line.

to think there was once a debate about which of the three 3 mil forwards need to be traded

 

[Smif]

Nice job boys, nice job.

 

[weems]

We actually matchup really well against TB imo.

They want to play a similar game and its mostly fast, high paced with lots of chances.

Much rather play them than Boston or Washington.

 

[DueDiligence]

getting rielly back was huge. can't wait to see what this team can bring with muzzin and soup back.

I'm sure Tampa would like Stamkos and Hedman back as well.

the way these refs run, they'll find away to put our ass in the box.

that was honestly a decent win

15 was horrible tonight.

Just stop it already

Andersen's new motto!

@Hollywood North Andersieve?

call me out too lord. if freddy can play like the past few games thru the stretch and the playoffs, we're looking good.

Its amazing how fast these guys run and hide after a W.

 

[Pookie]

None the less Tampa isn't as impressive as other teams in my view. I don't see them raising the cup that's for sure.

Their 4th game in 6 nights. Comfortably in the playoffs. Little chance of catching Boston.

They have to be in a “don’t get hurt” “let’s just get the season over with” mode.

I’d be shocked if those first period shot totals repeated themselves in the playoffs.

Oh there were plenty in the game day thread.

 

[Jozay]

Good win. 2nd period was brutal. TBay missing some key guys though, so they still have another level they can reach.

 

[DueDiligence]

@Hollywood North Andersieve?

Andersen is a top tier goalie. He went through a bad stretch and a bunch of "fans' wanted to run him out of town.

 

[Al14]

that was honestly a decent win

That win was just okay! A decent win would be like 4-1!

 

[Suntouchable13]

Yea, Toronto did not have a good 2nd but TB is a good team too. It's unrealistic to dominate teams, good teams, for 60 minutes.

 

[Warden of the North]

Excellent win. Love it.

One of our asshat radio hosts will complain about something. Probably that they didnt score enough. Or that they didnt score 5v5.

 

[ECanuck]

The first on andy was purely accidental, but the second, killorn dude, id like somebody to send him to the hospital

I'd grab him by the ear. Tell him: "Harvard boy, let me introduce you to the higher learning of the streets".
