Post-Game Talk: Kasperi "Fastest Player On Earth" Kapanen with 2 | Leafs 4 Kings 1 (Matthews doesnt score ~ bust)

[AppsSyl]

Lindholm and Oz are fitting right in and you can see their comfort level growing each game in the NHL on the smaller ice. Dermott and Oz compliment each other nicely. I really like that pairing. Also, Kappy is a beast. Willy needs to sign, because with each passing game Kappy is showing he can adequately fill that spot on Matthews' wing. He looks really good with skilled linemates and some real minutes.

When do we play NHL teams though? Still not impressed. Call me when we beat professional hockey players

[Antropovsky]

can we put kaps back on the 4th line for 15 games... re-sign him to a great contract.. then put him back with Matthews

 

[stickty111]

I’ll complain.

Nylander please come back. You are missing out. You don’t want to have a FOMO.

Nylander maybe wants to come back. His dad wont let him.

 

[Budsfan]

Good Team Win!
Lindholm Looks like a keeper.

 

[Maplebeasts]

Not a great game but having said that without the refs the Kings don't even get a sniff in this one.

So it was a great game?

 

[thunder16]

Glad Sparks shut people up for at least a few days.

Great to see secondary scoring carry the offense.

the best thing about Sparks...........doesn't let in shots from 50 ft out!!!

 

[PromisedLand]

just FYI the up coming RFAs next year

Matthews
Marner
Kapanen
Leivo
Johnsson



get them signed now and asap. Get kappy at 3M x 4 (5years if feasible).

Lindholm and Oz get better every game. Dermott is rock solid.

Pretty good game overall, aside from the end of the 2nd, and Sparks looked really solid in this one. The guy's a battler, he's going to do everything to prove Dubas right.

Also - Hainsey's been a lot better the last few games. I've been as critical of him as anyone, but hopefully he can return to his form from early last season.

 

[Ziggdiezan]

Ya I worry if Willy doesn't sign soon Kap will drive his cap hit up a ton playing with Matthews.

 

[Liminality]

I think Derm-Oz may become our best pairing.

Tonight was the most balanced TOI night for the dmen I've seen that I can remember.

Crazy how close they are to each other.

 

[mcleex]

Par Lindholm has been a solid offseason pickup

 

[Marshy]

Is Dubas still wrong?

 

[lovemyleafs]

When do we play NHL teams though? Still not impressed. Call me when we beat professional hockey players

Yeah we're nothing special to be honest. It's just a good team, like a lot of others. We'll probably be a playoff team, I would think.

So it was a great game?

you realize both things I said are possible at the same time right?

rhetorical question, I know.

 

[Cecithepylon]

DJ Toronto, another one.

 

[member 300185]

I have nothing to complain about from the Leafs.

All 4 lines were great, Kappy, Kadri, and Dermott had great games I thought.

Yes, I almost overlooked Dermott. He was excellent.

 

[Kurisu]

Now starts Matthews goalless streak.

 

[SoCal Leafs]

Great performance from top to bottom. Matthews with his usual excellence, a solid 3rd pairing of Oz and Dermott, and Par is starting to pick up his game. Without those rubbish penalty calls, we could have tacked on another couple of goals easy. Hope this gives Sparks some confidence to solidify his role and quiet the naysayers.

 

[Trapper]

Our team and D looks so much better when we can play heavier on the boards and behind the net. That’s what you need to compliment the skill.

 

[Judas Tavares]

Kings work hard and cycle well but they didn't get into the dangerous areas. Was expecting a bit more from them tonight.

Nice win.

where's Willie, oops I meant Waldo
