Post-Game Talk: Leafs beat Canes 4-1! Canes unable to perform post game Cirque du Soleil routine.

[Tall Morty]

1-0 without Hyman

 

[keonsbitterness]

Victory is ours!

Less than 2.5 hours. Gotta be the fastest game in a long time.

 

[Burnie97]

Good win. Solid effort. Tough next game. . But if they play like tonight.... Should be a good game. GLG.

 

[gamer1035]

First PP -> matthews-marner-tavares- Johnson -rielly
Second PP -> Kadri - Nylander - Kap - Marleau - Gards

 

[thewave]

Nylander looked like gold. Carolina still drooling to trade for him after this. Stinkeye @hamilton. Maybe we can trade Z and Brown for him.

 

[Notsince67]

Canes gonna offersheet Dermott cause they need a #1 D

 

[stakesishigh]

Glad to get a win. Feels like it has been a bit.

 

[Zizzzzy]

Pretty great thread title and OP... Awesome job

 

[stickty111]

easy win. the team responded well

All we ask is to stand up for teammates, but they shouldn't stop playing their game.
Good job in getting back to the way that makes them successful.

 

[Alamo Leafer]

Good bounce back game for the buds, but boy they gotte get the PP magic back working again

 

[KIWILEAFFAN]

Worst losing streak this season is still 2 games?

2nd overall. Might be a good team eh?
PP will come right. They just need more than a couple a game.

 

[Peasy]

I honestly think Gauthier should be the 4th line C over Lindholm.

 

[PromisedLand]

if someone was just looking at the box score it would seem that the PPs were fairly even but we all know how the refs were blind to all the canes infraction the entire game

 

[Alerion]

We were in control from start to finish, an all-around excellent game tonight. The refs desperately trying to even up the PPs once the game was already over was pretty funny and so obviously game management

 

[weems]

I disagree. he made some mistakes and took some bad penalties.

Everyone makes mistakes.

From a skating and offensive standpoint, this was his most effective game.

 

[Cleetus]

Good game for sure, loved the PK, loved the work ethic, used our speed, and skill...

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

luckily we didn't trade Nylander for one of their defensemen. Offense is the way to win in this league

 

[MorrisSmit89]

I disagree. he made some mistakes and took some bad penalties.

this is dumb.. its his 3rd game back and lots of guys make mistakes every night. once again, just like the last few season, people like to call out nylander for every little thing while letting other guys off the hook. i dont get itt

 

[I Believe]

All smiles at work tomorrow

 

[Leafidelity]

The most important thing here is preventing those weirdos from the victory dance for just one night

 

[IrishInOntario]

Good team effort tonight by all 4 lines. Leafs skated well for the most part and I liked the traffic they got to the net. Gotta get the powerplay going again, but otherwise, not much to complain about. Anderson got right back into form after a tough one in Boston.

 

[Leafblooded]

I have a a few gripes with Nylanders game at the moment. Mostly cuz he looks like a Bernstein bear.

 

[IPS]

I am not going to mention 29 again tonight.

#34 looked quite uninspired. Is he ok?

He has. He's looking like slump-Matthews yet is still putting points up. In the previous 2 years he's had stretches like this where he's gone ice cold.

Slavin is a really nice player but don't think he's quite as good as some people claim.

Great response game. Somewhere Brian Burke is smiling.
