Post-Game Talk: Buds shine in the sunshine state!

[Al14]

Kapanen knew it was too soon for a 2 goal lead!

See, Holl's timing was right!

 

[kevsh]

With Tampa stumbling (& Boston winning tonight and TB getting beat up), IF the Leafs hold onto that 3rd spot they may just face the Lightning in the opening round.

 

[ECYCLE]

Freaking well deserved win!!

 

[TMLeafer]

Huge win! Matthews line was dominant. Willy with the clutch goal.

The defense actually looked decent. Barrie and Dermott may have played their best games in a while (apart).

Andersen, though poor in the 1st, made some nice saves in the final minutes.

Bobrovsky is brutal.

 

[weems]

What a great win!!

We showed a ton of heart to fight back after falling behind 3-1 and Andersen playing shaky

Matthews-Marner-Hyman line was a force.

Nylander just keeps producing and will be a total steal at 6.9 million.

I thought Sandin had a really strong game with increased role.

When we play fast, aggressive and are willing to do the dirty things, we're a damn good team.

 

[BTP]

What a huge gutsy win. HUGE. Holy crap.
Best game of the year all things considered.

[MarMarSab3]

Lots to like tonight.
Hyman Matthews Nylander Dermott were fantastic tonight

 

[Leafs87]

Amazing to get it done in regulation

 

[bax]

Huge character win.


And Tampa is about to lose their 4th in a row.

 

[danron1376]

2-0 since the zamboni debacle

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

 

[ChiTownLeafer]

We came back AND we held a lead.

 

[Rogue Leader]

The boys showed heart tonight! I hope they play like this every night! A true team game!!! Go Leafs Go!!!

 

[robertmac43]

Absolutely amazing effort despite the shaky goaltending and weakened D-core. The fight was there tonight, so happy for the team right now!

 

[Dave92]

Finally! Heck of a final 40 min from everybody.

 

[DarkKnight]

hard not to like this team when they battle like that

All we ask.

 

[Gary Nylund]

Where are all those who said our season is over?

 

[TMLeafer]

Matthews using his size on the boards was also nice to see.

Rosen fit in well. I say go with 7 D going forward. Didn't miss the 12th forward, much. Means more time for a guy like Spezza.

 

[Leaffan1991]

Amazing effort all around. Great defensive game by our D and forwards

 

[Knies iT]

Dermott protecting the house against Barkov in front of/behind the net for the last two minutes of regulation was a breath of fresh air.

We're watching him take that next step with the top 2LHD down. Another steady showing.

 

[Sniper99]

Well, thank God Keefe doesnt listen to the coaches in here who wanted Andy pulled. Nice win.

 

[JerseyMike34]

Exhale

 

[Merrrlin]

Gutsy effort

 

[sxvnert]

7 D was a great move. Problem is one of those D is Lilegren.

 

[BayStBullies]

Heck of a 3rd, especially considering the D the Leafs had to ice here. You have to think when their injuries clear, that they can do some damage. They need to keep the effort level up.
