Post-Game Talk: Fun game! Leafs win 4-2

[7even]

Frederik Andersen is a pretty cool guy.

 

[saffronleaf]

Great game. That said, I don't feel confident in a 7-game series against the Bolts.

 

[thewave]

Great game Jake Gardiner! 25mins +2

 

[ottomaddox]

Zach Hyman is my life
Patrick Marleau is my life
Mitch Marner is my life
Nazem Kadri is my life

 

[Clark4Ever]

Freddy's back.

 

[HamiltonNHL]

HDCF 12-3 Leafs

 

[egd27]

Can we stop acting like the sky is falling for at least a day now?

 

[Leafsfan86]

Leafs battled really hard tonight which was great to see.

Fred stood on his head when it really mattered.

Kapanen might have been the best skater of either team tonight.

Don't forget Kadri. He had a great game.

Gardiner
24:57 TOI, +2, 0 turnovers, 4 blocks

 

[ARoggy94]

officiating was brutal

vasilevskiy is unbelievable but fortunately for us so is freddy f***ing andersen

tampa's setup with stamkos and kucherov on opposite halfwall is scary effective

 

[Rogue]

I think we can too.

Like I said in they rely on their skill to win and aren’t heavy and gritty. That’s a dream matchup for the Leafs.

Honestly, I just fear Boston ... they are a dirty team.
I think they will injure Freddy on purpose ... and well... golf season.

 

[Gallagbi]

Solid game by us. We were good most of the night, had big chances and protected for the final ~3 minutes.

Gutless play by Hedman late on Hyman.

 

[DarkKnight]

Vas 1 Andy 1. See you next time TB!

 

[Loosie]

Great win tonight!!! Much better play.

Also let's get this thread to 30 pages (the loss to the Avs got to 25).

Still haven't lost 3 in a row.

 

[Drew311]

The quick answer by Kadri after the Bolts first goal was the key to the win

That third line looked great. When Kadri is on his game the Leafs are such a better team.

 

[Jacquestrapless]

Oz was stapled to the bench in the 3rd. Really hope Babs goes
Gards-Rielly
Dermott-Zaitsev
Hainsey-Marincin

 

[leafsfan5]

Couple notes for the game:
1.) Andersen is a top 5 goalie in the league, no doubt. Absolutely dominant down the stretch
2.) The kadri line was great this game and gave us 3 top lines. If they play like this come playoff time we’ll be very tough to beat
3.) Don’t trade Kappy please, he’s too good
4.) Please look at what Tampa’s powerplay was and copy that. Constant passing by kucherov stamkos hedman had us spinning for the full 2 minutes
5.) If this is a playoff series we witness, it will be an absolute classic. Incredible skill on both teams

Great game. That said, I don't feel confident in a 7-game series against the Bolts.

Not if that is the standard of officiating we'd be dealing with

[ottomaddox]

I stayed off the boards tonight because I thought I would jinx them.

me = 1 assist

 

[FlareKnight]

They fought. That was something that they needed to do. And they did that. Good on them.

 

[TMLeafer]

Great effort after many flat ones. Good to see against the top team.

Hedman getting away with that (and probably no league penalty either) has me pretty angry.

 

[Drytoast]

Gardiner getting boo'd in Tampa by Leaf fans was disgusting. Booing your own f***ing player is idiotic and useless. It's the equivalent of having a temper tantrum. GROW UP.

Matthews 75% CF sillllly.

Wish the puck would start going in for he and Willy, but it'll come!
