Post-Game Talk: Holl wins it in OT. Leafs defeat the Sens 3-2

[Burnie97]

If Campbell stayed in the net that's 3 shutouts in a row

Well said lol

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Dominated most of the game but Forsberg was a brick wall. Top guys need to produce eventually.

Nice win but here’s my hot take - I don’t believe Matthews wrist is the problem. I believe they are overplaying him. He looks gassed out there. Does anyone else think that a slight reduction in minutes will help keep him fresh?

He hasn’t played since Saturday, his wrist is still healing and he’s had some bad luck.

 

[Leafsfan74]

Ship it.

A grind out win against a team just looking to get to the shootout.

As such, a just result.

 

[TopChedder]

GTFOH Sens!

I literally hate that team! Pesky pieces of crap lol

 

[6ix]

They never make it easy, but a big 2 points nonetheless.

 

[Divine]

 

[Teeder Keon]

Feels good man.

Pretty meh game, but Dorian losing it at end was entertaining enough.

Huge 2 points.

Campbell looked good and made some timely saves despite those two bad breaks.

Timely is the key word

 

[Stephen]

I'm glad Holl scored, he had an outstanding game.

Also if it's not obvious to everyone that Matthews has tremendous value even when he doesn't score, it should be

I don't think anyone would dispute that. He's just been very snake bit/hobbled and not the same as the couple of month of the season.

 

[NK94]

Our goalie has a couple gaffs and still has a .935 SV% and the win. It's refreshing to see.

f*** Ottawa and f*** all the whining in the GDT.

 

[Aashir Mallik]

Really glad we won. All in all bit of a middling effort though, although one goal against was totally on Campbell and hopefully he figures out that part of the game.

I think he will. A lot easier to fix puck mishandles then not saving shots. the most basic solution being, not playing the puck too much, but even then those two errors are uncommon at worst and extremely ludicrous at best, especially the second one in which the giveaway wasn’t even the problem really it was the positioning afterwards along with the dman having a stick where the sun don’t shine
He’ll fix and rebound from this game
P.S funny saying he’ll rebound from a .93+ game

 

[stickty111]

Crazy to think Campbell would have had another shutout if it wasnt for his blunders

On the bright side, if the only goals he allows is because he misplayed pucks, we are fine

 

[Gallagbi]

Hearing Poulin complain about lack of communication in those GA is painful. They're bad executions by Campbell on the right reads. He just doesn't do what he needs to, which is get by the first wave

 

[ACC1224]

Yikes but at least they got the win.

Dorion is a beauty. Guy just wants to win.

 

[francis246]

He hasn’t played since Saturday, his wrist is still healing and he’s had some bad luck.

He looked absolutely gassed at the end of the game. I do think Keefe is running him into the ground a bit. But I agree with the bad luck. I believe it’s more bad luck than wrist injury

 

[Leaftors]

Ottawa in 2nd of a back to back with their 5th string goalie and is one of the worse teams in the league.

The leafs coming off a 4 day break.

No real excuse for it being that close... but I'll take the win and run.

The sens are definitely a better team than their record dictates. They might have been a top 10 team in the east this year.

 

[On-the-Fly]

Not a pretty win but you wince and move on.

That Matthews soccer play to save the game was pretty spectacular. Not a lot of guys could pull that off and then attack the other way.

Hes got a little practise with that block.

 

[Stephen]

Crazy to think Campbell would have had another shutout if it wasnt for his blunders

Campbell makes all the saves he should make, makes saves he shouldn't make, and somehow manufactured two goals for Ottawa.

 

[The Legend]

Turns out having great players matters.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Jack Campbell.

2 goals against on 2.77 expected goals against.

.935 sv%.


Another solid start, blunders aside.

Yeah those plays don't happen too often anyway. It's not like he gave up multiple floaters from the point

 

[Dragao6]

Hard to be happy with these wins

just look at the scoreboard and the scorers
Says it all

 

[Cpt Maple Leaf]

I’m very happy we won but this was not a great game. Let’s take the two points and get outta here.

If we let teams keep us outside like that in the playoffs we are cooked. This is Ottawa.

 

[Menzinger]

Though the "top 4" guys all had a pretty good game even if some didn't end up in the score sheet. Campbell ends the game with a .935

A lot to like. While I'd also prefer to see the main guys light things up, it's a good thing when the teams depth guys contribute offensively, not a negative

 

[Tlo1]

That pass from Tkachuk to a wide open Struddle would a ended it in OT if Brodie didn’t block it with his stick. He literally saved the game there.

 

[Morbo]

didn't like either sens goal but still much more comfortable with Campbell in there than Fred.
