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

[I Believe]

16-8.

We win twice as much as we lose.

I just love that Cherry said he was a "good ol' Canadian boy" after the game, and Maclean had to correct him.

"Uhhh.. he's Finnish."
lol

Anyone else catch that?

Lol that’s awesome... didn’t catch it

 

[Damisoph]

Good game.

Bravo to the thread title.

 

[Gallagbi]

What exactly are you doing here then?

Trolling, mostly

 

[member 300185]

Not specific to tonight but wow, Dermott is exactly the kind of guy the team needs on the back end.

He is the new Rielly....and we still have Rielly.

We can thank that Neanderthal Radko Gudas for waking the bear (Johnsson)

 

[Goonface2k14]

Had it on mute and couldn't understand why they went there instead of the habs game which was a great finish

It was because, like NovaLeaf said, Laine had 5 goals.

I don’t mind that they chose that game, I just think that they didn’t have to go there quite that quickly.

Never happened!

No! No! No!

Impossible!

No! No! No!

If only the Leafs had kept Pickard instead of Sparks.

Let’s get Gardiner signed long term. The rock on D

Can't afford him.

You are way off on your little jab. Losing all the depth including McGoalie was the issue.

 

[ottomaddox]

Perhaps...Johnsson has disgraced this team for the last time...

Might be the game that really gets the guy going!

hes having a lousy contract year unless he stays a 5 mill

I argued for that
It hasn't aged well

When you are 4th in the league but still wouldn't have home ice in the 1st round if they started today!

thank god that pylon is gone

now we just have to get the rest of the team to react like that after they get smashed. great game from start to finish. sparks was great, he really did a good job not to swim tonight. he pretty much kept in his crease the whole game.

our 3rd and 4th lines are really something else. compared to the black holes of yester years. gonna make some interesting decisions when Mathews gets back as well if Willy signs

really like seeing goat getting comfortable, oz still makes some gaffs but hes great at getting the puck up the ice. plus him and dermott are getting a bit of chemistry so that's always a plus

Brown may have not impressed too much tonight but he did help launch Aj for his break away

 

[Daisy Jane]

Good win. I think. Been sick all day and only caught the last couple periods on radio.

Sounded good. Good work by Johnsson and nice work by Sparks with what he had to deal with.

i hope you feel better soon.

 

[Mr Hockey]

Don't get too hyped up, Sparks has had very little under pressure minutes in tonight and the Ducks game and he still looked very shaky in net

 

[MapleLeafs9]

Really weird. We wouldn't even have home ice advantage if it was in the old 1 vs 8 format either. We'd be 5th in the conference vs TB lol.

Edit: Actually, this is wrong. TB wasn't in our division before the realignment. We'd be 4th with home ice.

Kind of a silly post based on 1 game. I mean look at Sparks in the Chicago game. Sparks had a nice game tonight, and the same could be said for Pickard (tonight on the 2nd game of a b2b) last night who had a 4-0 shutout.
