Post-Game Talk: Clutch Hutch Shuts Down Scorned Islanders | Leaf Win 3-0

[HogTown06]

Hutch... What a stud!

Marincin though... Poor guy, he's lost out there, can't wait for Muzzin to be back.

 

[Remu]

Bye bye no personality Islanders. Too bad you had to give up your souls to prolong Lou Lamoriello's life span.

 

[Griffin76]

Keefe looking like a genius yet again. Everyone questioning his decision to start Hutch. Guess we need to trust his decisions a little more.

 

[Erdinger]

Man the Leafs sure were lucky to win. Just ask the other guys.

LOL

 

[saffronleaf]

Unbelievable. Shutout against a playoff bound team for Hutch.

Generally boring game but some really beautiful goals and skill on display as well.

28 goals in 43 games for Matthews

 

[LeafChief]

Hutchinson is The Winter Soldier's daddy.

 

[MSZ]

Just had a look at the Isles forum. Of course those guys think this Leafs team is bad and theirs is so much better.

LMAO

 

[Jozay]

Hutch was great tonight.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

I heard Keefe is throwing away points by starting Hutchinson.

Keefe is just a winner. He could start one of the fans in net and would get the win

 

[MattySnipes]

Feels great man. Solid game against a team that can't buy goals.

Hutch was awesome and very happy the boys got him the clean sheet.

9-0-1 in last 10 regulation games. Let's keep streaking boys. What a team!

 

[Tall Morty]

SHUTOUT FOR HUTCHINSON!!!

LEAFS OFFENCE DEFEATS BORING ISLANDERS DEFENSIVE STYLE!!!

SHELDON KEEFE FIRST LEAFS HEAD COACH TO WIN 15 OF HIS FIRST 20 GAMES!!!

LEAFS WIN ON MY BIRTHDAY!!!

Happy birthday man

 

[dethszn]

Tavares made the right choice.

 

[disgruntleddave]

In retrospect, great call to put in hutch. He was great. I think that every single rebound he gave up was recovered by a leaf which makes all the difference.

Nobody looked nervous. Everyone played with confidence. Great game.

 

[Walshy7]

Wow no wonder they never fill their stadium that team is so f***ing boring.

I’ve said I’ll take boring and a cup but if you can’t guarantee me a cup I’m not watching that drivel for 82 games

 

[danron1376]

hutch's confidence must be sky high now which will do wonders for his future performance

 

[BertCorbeau]

Good win. Team seems to be getting better under Keefe. Especially with a lead in the third period.

 

[Xanner]

Nice to see them get this W, didn't think they would with Hutch in net but credit to him, should be a huge boost in confidence for him.

 

[Burnie97]

So what's the Isles (fans) excuse for getting shutout by Hutch...

Nice win

1st was a little wonky... otherwise pretty solid game

Go Leafs Go

On to Edmonton Monday

And Keefe adds a nice little record to his pocket

 

[socko]

Hutchinson is a technically sound goalie. I always thought he had a chance to be decent.

 

[Menzinger]

Boring first half, but man turned out to be a great team win.

Very nice game by Hutch

 

[ULF_55]

Players having fun.

Winning is fun.

Players doing it for the team.

They are getting there.

 

[stickty111]

I don't want to hear the team struggles in tight contested games. They have done well under Keefe there.

 

[Cleetus]

feels good to beat them at there own game, we shut them down, and our elite skill got us timely goals, and Hutch looked very good!

 

[HamiltonNHL]

LEAFS WIN ON MY BIRTHDAY!!!

 

[TheKule]

Look at the islanders' shot chart lmao. 1 shot from the danger area. Leafs had 6 or 7. So much for keeping us to the outside ahahahaha

 

[shaner82]

I was told starting Hutchinson was Keefe’s first mistake and that Keefe didn’t care about winning and Hutchinson had no chance of winning.

Can everyone calm down and be trusting now?

Hutch is fine in the role he's in. He's had some bad luck, a bit of bad play, some terrible D in front of him and he played for a team that gave up on their coach.

Good on Dubas for being patient and trusting his beliefs

 

[leaffaninvancouver]

Maybe Hutch is a legit backup that was just getting Babcocked.

His rebound control is terrible, if the Islanders were capable of offence the second chances would have hurt us tonight.

He’s serviceable, but he’s a clear weak point.
