How long does it usually take for them to release game highlights on Youtube? Does anyone know?

Nice OT goal by the 12 year old for his first in the NHL.

Habs only 2 points back of Winnipeg. Habs with their 23-27 record could end up 3rd. That is madness.

They play the best team in the North 3 times in a row so it will be a tough ride for them

 

[MSZ]

Almost like the Canucks ran out of gas in the 3rd for some weird reason.

Seriously, they looked almost respectable for 30 minutes then had no shots in the first half of the third.

It's nice not to have to worry so much about third period collapses anymore.

The Sucks used up all of their strength in that 2 games set in Vancouver, it was their Stanley Cup.

HUGHSON TEARS!!!!!!

 

[Kiwi]

Pretty routine stuff

We started poorly but once the team decided to start giving a crap it started to look extremely comfortable

Vancouver gave an effort but they can't compete against a serious contender

 

[Burnie97]

Jumbo & Spezza both on 5 game point streaks; they're a combined +12 in that time.

Damn... I knew the 4th line has been good... but that is awesome.

Good news going into the playoffs.

 

[fahad203]

I'd just like to say Jason Spezza is on pace for 47 pts. While making the equivalent of 14$/hour (minimum wage lol)

Jason Spezza how I wish we had drafted you somehow in 2002. It's a privilege having him in the team.

Joe ain't to bad either tbh

That's a big $14/h
He has been a very good value and find. Perfecrt for his role

Tells you that Nick Shore was more valued in Babcocks' eye............... Nick Shore

 

[hamzarocks]

Honestly any of Nash/brooks/Engvall/Galch could be part of a cup winning team's forward group.

The fact that 2 of those 4 won't be playing every game in the playoffs for us just shows how damn deep this team is.

 

[6ix]

Flawless game!

 

[123offtheglass]

Campbell up to a .927 SV% now, for goalies with 10+ games he's tied for 4th in the league.

nick shore is a gud pro.

 

[Mickey Marner]

Auston "GWG" Matthews 3 straight games?

12 GWG on the season. 9 times opened the scoring. Crazy.

 

[WatchOut]

Nice to see the players being rested a bit these past few games, no need to play 20+ mins a night with a few games left.

 

[Confucius]

So we have won the sries against every team in the division, Pretty solid year, best team in Canada without a doubt.

 

[LeafGrief]

Inject these third periods directly into my veins. Not even letting these teams sniff a comeback.

 

[zeke]

Easy peasy breezy

 

[Doublerum1975]

Dear lurking Canuck fans:

Yeah, Hughson wants his money back on this years version of your team. Even Hughson knows.

Thanks for stopping by.

You worry to much about other fans and what they think lol

 

[Clark4Ever]

At this point of the season, the Leafs have shown that when they put their foot on the gas, they can dominate games against any team in the division if they get solid goaltending.

 

[LeafalCrusader]

Didn't like the 1st half, but were better in 2nd half. A terrific 3rd again. Campbell made some good saves early when we weren't playing well.
Interesting adjustment by Keefe. Had Sandin and Brodie paired at times while Rielly with Dermott.

I like those pairs. Brodie has been solid I think he could help Sandin's game a lot more than Rielly at this point.

Rielly Dermott
Sandin Brodie
Muzzin Holl

Would be interesting if Bogo is out for round 1.

NHL.com has highlights of all the goals usually like 20 mins after the goal at the latest

Nothing could be finer than beating Vancouver on a Saturday night.

Babcock was off the mark when it came to Spezza for sure. Made no sense going with a fringe nhler in Shore who had no track record of positive performance vs a guy like Spezza who was a superstar in his prime and still had the IQ and skill to be used as a strong offensive support piece playing limited minutes.

Keefe has handled Spezza/Simmonds/Joe(tho he gave him a more leeway earlier when he was slumping) very well.

Those 3 along with Foligno are going to be a huge part of the leadership core come playoffs. If Matthews/Marner are having a tough series they can be our Seabrook to Toews and take leadership to get things back on track.

Last year we had to many players looking for their own individual development.

Barrie wanted to be paid, ceci was fighting for a deal, Kapanen and AJ wanted to become established top 6 guys etc.

It seems the team is really doing well from chemistry perspective.

 

[kevsh]

Leafs were solid, in control, patient and executed, so good win.
Vancouver is running on fumes, though. They had nothing.

Better news is that with the Habs all but clinching that final playoff spot tonight, the Leafs won't be facing a Montreal fighting to the wire just to get in. Either that or they'll get a Winnipeg team that is running out of time to turn around a disastrous end to their season.

 

[meefer]

2501 pts for the 4th line. Brooks has 8 of them.

Damned morning coffee, get back up my nose.

 

[Iapyi]

Kerfoot had a hell of a game.

Not much on the scoresheet but he was coming with the energy buzz that is playoff effective.

I get why he is mentioned in trade talks [generally fans who would rather talk about trades and drama versus hockey talk] and the whole expansion exposure thing but the reality is he is a heck of a good deal at his cost.
