Post-Game Talk: Hockey is back - Leafs Win!

He didn't have much to do.......we will find out about him on Sunday.

Yup. Just glad he didn't get lit up.

Tlusty?

Wasn't he 19?

Marincin did not look good tonight sadly, hopefully he doesn't have to be used.

Robertson is a lot better than guys like Malgin or Petan, actually has a bit of that Trevor Moore hustle but with better hands. It probably will be a bit tougher for him against Columbus' style but he's worth starting.

That Kerfoot/Kap/Robertson line has speed that is going to be hard to handle. Assuming Nick makes the team, they can give the Leafs a 3rd line that can produce. And in the playoffs a team with 3 lines rolling is a tough out.

he did not, must break your heart.....

Tlusty?

He shoot to my ass, I feel it little bit, but I say nothing.

 

[stickty111]

Pretty good game. The biggest thing for me is the PK shouldn't be a massive Achilles heel anymore, so that's nice

To be fair, it wasn't before the stoppage. We ranked very well in a lot of defensive areas on the PK under Keefe.

Andersen played well.

Not sure what they’ll do with Robertson. He didn’t really do anything to hurt his chances but he also didn’t play so well that he’s a lock to play Sunday.

 

[saffronleaf]

Boy do the Andersen training camp haters look silly now. He played well tonight

bring on Columbus

happy to look silly. we need steady freddy and not freddy 5.

 

[ToMaLe]

Rielly, Robertson and Kerfoot looked real good tonight. Marincin was atrocious as always.

Kerfoot is just so much better at centre.

 

[MattySnipes]

Robertson was buzzing a bit early and unleashed a nice wrister but received pretty limited ice time.

Yeah I noticed that. However he still received more ice than GOAT, Engvall, Spezza and Cliff. I'm hoping that will give him some confidence and maybe Keefe some optimism in giving him the shot Aug 2nd. We'll see.

There won't be a game 7 vs CBJ so chances are good.

 

[stickty111]

He's on the team.
I like his urgency on pucks and ability to finish his check. I thought he looked solid.

 

[ToMaLe]

Kerfoot is just so much better at centre.

I agree.

 

[crump]

Robertson looked good, 10 minutes of ice time and a little PP time. Took a penalty but played well on that third line and helped create a goal too. That line looks more dangerous with him rather than Engvall on it. I didn't think he looked out of place. I can still see them playing it safe and giving the roster spot to the GOAT, but the GOAT was pretty rusty tonight. Didn't help his case at all.

 

[Smif]

Andersen played well.

Not sure what they’ll do with Robertson. He didn’t really do anything to hurt his chances but he also didn’t play so well that he’s a lock to play Sunday.

He was 1000x more noticeable than Engvall and Gauthier though.

So long for my money. Buying the jersey if he makes the big squad.

 

[slimbob8]

Not a lot of grade A chances for either team tonight, but Leafs were clearly the better team. Robertson was impressive. This guy's motor is gonna make him a big time playoff contributor I think even if the offense isn't there yet.

 

[X66]

Mikheyev legitimately has EA NHL game physics when he plays.

You push him and push him and he moves, but he holds on to the puck the entire time.

 

[stickty111]

Interesting

 

[ACC1224]

Engvall for sure. I thought Gauthier played well.
Sometimes a player can standout a little more because that’s who you’re(not necessarily you) are focusing on.
I know I looked for him when he came on the ice.
Coaches will break it all down and look at every player.
If I were to bet I’d say he plays but I don’t think it’s a slam dunk he does.

It's hard to see an 18 year old making a playoff team after one exhibition game.
