Post-Game Talk: Leafs are a good team. They also are a franchise with skilled players

[Maplebeasts]

And from the sounds of things we should have Nylander back sometime soon. RIP rest of league.

Last few minutes it seemed like nothing could spoil thr night, then they cut to Laine scoring 5 goals.

 

[The Shrike]

But the Flyers won 59% of the faceoffs, so according to Hughson and crew that means they won the game.

 

[Mr Hockey]

I'm thinking we would have won if we put a player standing in the crease instead of a goalie tonight, time for Philly to get new coach i think

 

[Larcos_Unal]

4th line was great

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

It's nice to be able to win at home again.

I don't think anyone had a bad game per say. Sparks made some pretty good saves. Johnsson was dynamite early on obviously but slowed down as the game went on.

I thought Dermott was great again.

Dermott shows so much composure and confidence every time he's out there. Leafs are so lucky to have him

 

[Burnie97]

Sparks is looking like he is starting to settle down. Last 2 games he's been good. Great game by Johnnson. Nice win.

Boston at home Monday. I hope they crush them too. They're missing their 2 best defenceman... and Bergeron... they hopefully take advantage of that.

Love the snarky title.

People should have saw it coming after yesterday's awful thread.

 

[member 300185]

So many rebounds from sparks tonight. Should have stuck with mcbackup.

Rookie move dubas

Some people are never happy. You know we won right?

 

[Peiskos]

What a fantastic Saturday night!

 

[TMLeafer]

Good beatdown but really concerned about the refereeing.

 

[Havoc]

Still feels like pre-season without our top line back yet.

 

[Zybalto]

Um, 35 shots on goal and about 14 in close. He was clearly awesome.

Sparks was great but Id give up those 35 shots all year and we might have the lowest GAA in league history.

D was amazing tonight. Flyers couldnt muster much around the net. HD chances ended up 13-5 Leafs.

 

[Kiwi]

Great effort

The bottom 6 really stood up and Sparks is repaying the faith management had in him

Couldn't ask for much more honesty

 

[Smif]

Um, 35 shots on goal and about 14 in close. He was clearly awesome.

He was very calm tonight, he wasn't the skiddish scared cat that normally bothers me about his game. Gj, Sparks!

 

[Blanche Blanche]

Give Sparks his credit. He made some saves.
Gj Sparky!

Bottom 6 is starting to tear into teams. Depth baby.

JT and Mitch beautiful play.

Kapanen driving his own line from RW

Johnsson returns with a bang and Marleau has flashes of Brilliance

Kadri is still MIA

Dermott our grittiest D in a leafs uniform in a while! Laughs at simmonds and doesnt flinch

Freddy with his Laptop watching flix lolll

On a contract year:

 

[TakeTheBody]

4th line was great

I'm not the biggest Goat fan but he played very well tonight. In defense of the Goat i'm tired of this team trading away a second round pick for a 4C that plays 20 games and them leaves. Play the Goat or someone else in the system. Don't trade a second round pick.

Sparks Great Job tonight!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[ToneDog]

Bring on the Bruins.

 

[barilko05]

Totally OT but why is John Barrett doing the Jets game? Where's Beyak?

 

[34]

Good win! Now lets beat Boston on Monday!

 

[Man Bear Pig]

Good beatdown but really concerned about the refereeing.

I've been saying it for two years now: theres definitely some BS going on in leafs games. No team this dominant should have this few power plays. It makes zero sense. Its fishy.

 

[TMLeafer]

Totally OT but why is John Barrett doing the Jets game? Where's Beyak?

Beyak is a TSN employee.

 

[barilko05]

And with Millen? Eww...my apologies Jets fans

 

[member 300185]

Great game.

Marlie graduates took care of business.

Not a fan of how HNIC immediately goes to another game instead of doing at least a post game interview.

Interview Sparks or something.

Why just go right to WPG vs STL? Not very many people in this market care about that game anyways. Bush league stuff IMO.

they went there for Laine

Watching Buffalo Detroit in OT - Buffalo is so bad lmao
