Post-Game Talk: Big Win!! Yuuuuge! Tor 4:2 Wpg

[Nalens Oga]

I really liked Kapanen, Kadri, and Anderson tonight plus how the team played in the first half of the game.

Hated how the team played in the second half of the game and Connor Brown who's been the worst Leaf forward of the season. He's a classic 4th liner that looks like he's hustling hard but doing nothing, just an awful waste of a player who could be replaced by anyone with decent offensive instincts from the Marlies or waivers.

 

[BrannigansLaw]

That was an absolutely awesome game. This is one of those rare times where I can say that I really liked the defensive structure of our game tonight.

 

[DarkKnight]

Babcock deserves the credit.

He had his legs tonight, made crisp outlet passes and delivered the timely saves when we needed it.

 

[The Beyonder]

Line-EHHH's better (clap clap clap clap clap)

Line-EHHH's better (clap clap clap clap clap)

Line-EHHH's better (clap clap clap clap clap) etc.

 

[DopeyFish]

Great bounce back game after an awful performance on Saturday. Hopefully they carry this kind of play back home

And hopefully with Nylander

 

[DarkKnight]

lol, not in this group

Such a gong show sometimes. We have a great team, if you can’t enjoy it after all the shit we’ve been through over the years..

 

[Semantics]

hmmm, 3 penalty killers at the top, thinking we had a lot of penalties? your terrible smh

Do you think other coaches play their stars less minutes than their grinders because of three minutes of penalty kill?

 

[thewave]

Ice time leaders:

Hyman 19:42
Lindholm 18:32
Brown 18:01
Tavares 17:39
Matthews 17:34

I know we won but... really, Babcock?

You can't make that stuff up. On the bright side we were coached well defensively. Good tweaks but I hope he doesn't credit them with the win... He may very well do that too

 

[SoCal Leafs]

Much better effort and execution tonight. Glad to see they responded quickly to stop the Jets' momentum swing in the 3rd. I wonder what happened to Hainsey in the 3rd.

 

[Burnie97]

Andersen isn't having the usual October. His best game forsure. You couldn't fault him on those goals, and he made a number of good saves .

Get better soon Dermott.

Kappy still looking good.

Kadri with the monkey off his back.

Let's go 8-3 this Saturday....


Nylander sign a f***ing contact...

Going to bed. Go leafs go.

 

[TDotMassive]

Noone ever mentions October Gardiner

Because October Gardiner is also November Gardiner, is the same as December, January, February, March, April, May and hopefully June Gardiner. He'll make a ridiculous pass and skate like the wind... then have a brain fart and cough up a goal... often in the same play. Sigh.

 

[ChurchOfMatthews]

I love beating Winnipeg and their obnoxious fans.

 

[The Kessel Run]

After the initial rush from the Jets to make it 3-2, I thought the Buds got back to their game for the most part and finished strong.

 

[X66]

I’m gonna be a sore winner but the refs were shit tonight.

We dominate most of the game, one pp. jets start to turn it on in the third, two pps that period.

So f’n bogus

 

[The Man with a Plan]

Time to play every game on the road. Except against Boston.

I have a theory that we play better on the road because the ice at home is absolutely horrible.

 

[Mr Hockey]

Do you think other coaches play their stars less minutes than their grinders because of three minutes of penalty kill?

I think we took an early lead and our coach just rolled his top 3 lines all game, the guys you mentioned had PK minutes added on

 

[X66]

After the initial rush from the Jets to make it 3-2, I thought the Buds got back to their game for the most part and finished strong.

That’s why you get guys like Tavares when they’re available.

You don’t stop the bleeding with guys like. Bozak

 

[Daisy Jane]

Such a gong show sometimes. We have a great team, if you can’t enjoy it after all the **** we’ve been through over the years..

that doesn't mean they are absolved from all criticism/critique either.
i don't understand why the belief is - if you make some harsh remarks - it automatically means you also can not acknowledge it's a great team.

 

[Ziggdiezan]

Missed the game. How did the kadri line play in general?

Looked like a nice feed from brown for the kadri goal

Also how was the third pairing without dermott driving it?

 

[Erdinger]

Real good road game but I wish we could get some power play opportunities

 

[Marshy]

I love beating Winnipeg and their obnoxious fans.

And the refs.

 

[thewave]

Smith and Babcock get some credit for the alterations. A little heavy on the Hyman and Brown though, pump the brakes on that a bit.

 

[AllHeartNoSkill]

I have a theory that we play better on the road because the ice at home is absolutely horrible.

I think it’s also because it simplifies the line-matching. They just have to play their game.

 

[2 Slick]

You win some, you lose some. I wasn't writing off the Leafs after two losses and calling for Babcock's head on a silver platter.

Another solid road victory for the Buds, 5-0 on the road to start the season.

The Jets are going down in the sequel this Saturday night. Should be fun.

On another random note, Brown sucks.

 

[Al14]

I love beating Winnipeg and their obnoxious fans.

We have our share of obnoxious fans too!

Hell, we can't even get along with each other as Leaf fans.

It is brutal on our board most of the time with the infighting and bullying, even though we're suppose to be mostly Leaf fans.
