Post-Game Talk: Big money boiz bounce back (4-2 over the Wild)

[stickty111]

Nice of Babcock to change something, but other coaches would have done it sooner.

 

[thewave]

Also was advocating Moore on the Tavares line awhile ago. Nice to see the change up.

Hope it sticks for tomorrow

I feel like the entire Leafs board was, weren't we all? It was the biggest no brainier.

[Morbo]

So I watched the Mild TV broadcast tonight, and wow was their colour commentator shitting all over the Leafs the entire game.

The Leafs have no will to defend, Dumba will get so many points on the powerplay, yadda yadda...even while the Leafs dominated this one.

I give the guy credit, he kept at it and stuck to his guns even after the Leafs shattered the Mild's spirit with that second period barrage, until about 6 minutes left in the 3rd when he gave up and admitted the Leafs played well.

so enjoy your season, whatever your name is. god that team over there is dreadful.

 

[MattySnipes]

Moore, Marner, and JT had an xGF% of 53.61, compared to 35.88 with Kap on that line tonight. Played about 6 minutes together at 5v5. Hope to see it continue.

 

[Polaris1010]

Leafs win, habs lose

its a good night!



P.S. Keep Moore up with the JT line

Yes, that would be the right move, for the team, the right hockey move.

However, you never know. It is very political right now inside the Kermlin Halls of Power in Leafs Nation.

 

[Polaris1010]

Moore, Marner, and JT had an xGF% of 53.61, compared to 35.88 with Kap on that line tonight. Played about 6 minutes together at 5v5. Hope to see it continue.

One version of the top line tonight was like going through the motions.

Another version of the top line tonight was dominant and scoring.

Not sure if they are going to stay together. No one wants to get fired.

Nice of Babcock to change something, but other coaches would have done it sooner.

And he's quick to go back to things that don't work.

 

[Beyonder91]

Moore is a better player than Kapanen.

 

[Teeder Keon]

meh Andersen??????

Yes for these reasons
He didn’t look as sharp as he could ,
He lost the puck a couple of times under his skates
He gave the puck away a couple of times
And I also think , these are the types of games that good goalies should have shutouts
I know I know it’s not all on him
I get it ...
Just saying

 

[X66]

Excited for Boston Saturday and next Tuesday. The hate for them is so strong...

Still can’t believe that 3 of the 4 games we play against the bruins and Habs this month are the 2nd half of back to backs.

so dumb

 

[Ifittex il Verita]

So I watched the Mild TV broadcast tonight, and wow was their colour commentator ****ting all over the Leafs the entire game.
.

What a trip that guy was
'the Leafs have offensive talent yes, but they just do not care about defending in their own zone'
'When you play the Leafs you are going to get your chances to put it in the net'
'Again we see the lackadaisical effort from the Leafs in the defensive zone'

Guy was a real c*nt no doubt...

 

[Polaris1010]

Key to the game:

Babcock made an in-game adjustment we've all been calling for.

Coach Babcock finally got fed up with Dubas pricey signings and since enough time has elapsed in that experiment, gave Moore a couple of shifts at the end of the period.

Subtly sneaking in a new line combination.

After a couple of shifts, could not go back.

So who knows. Maybe there will be hints towards Babcock to put Kapanen back on the top line.

 

[MattySnipes]

Moore is a better player than Kapanen.

I'd say Moore is much more closer to a Hyman-esque player than Kap is. Wasn't surprised to see that combination have success. Many fans called for it.

 

[The Masters]

Babs gonna start Freddie tomorow

 

[Bedards Dad]

Babs gonna start Freddie tomorow

Litterally 0% chance of that happening.

So I watched the Mild TV broadcast tonight, and wow was their colour commentator ****ting all over the Leafs the entire game.

I like to watch the other feed from time to time, especially when/if I watch the games a second time. You get a different perspective, and often commentators that aren't caught up in narratives. But there are certainly games like this too. Some commentators are dreadful like this though. I generally change back to the Leafs feed when that happens.

Let’s not get carried away
Ball hockey coaches would have made the same adjustment a couple of games ago

 

[crump]

The Wild...trampled underfoot

 

[CelticDruid]

Nylander, Matthews and Johnsson line was terrific.

Had xGF% rates (5v5) respectively: 77.51, 75.31, 72.21

Line as a whole at 5v5 had 11 high-danger shot attempts for, and 4 against.

Nylander had some great moments as did that whole line. Johnsson could have had a hat trick.

Nylander with five shots on net.

 

[Bigmarycombo]

Top line starts producing instantly once Moore is moved up

Third line starts playing bad once kappanen gets on it

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

I thought our top 6 and Rielly were excellent and the rest of the team was meh. Pretty different from the Detroit game

 

[Beyonder91]

I'd say Moore is much more closer to a Hyman-esque player than Kap is. Wasn't surprised to see that combination have success. Many fans called for it.

Moore is a smarter and harder working player. He is also quicker from a stop and gets his shot off faster. I think the only thing Kapanen has on him is flat out speed.

When everyone thought they heard Babcock say, "Hyman's good, eh?"...he was actually saying "I am good, eh?"
