Classy stuff from Hornqvist. That was a really cool moment, Bernier's huge smile is just awesome.
If my lip reading skills are correct,
showing bermier some love. #classy
I really loved his game and it wasn't just about him making saves but how he stayed not only patient but didn't go straight to butterfly.
I'm NO goalie expert, but most big guys these days are pure blockers and it seems different with this kid.
Anyone who watches him or knows about him, would you say his stand-up/butterfly/hybrid goalie?
My first irritation with Babcock: Hunwick.
He got 28:37 of ice time last night, far more than any other player. In part due to the 5 penalties the Leafs had to kill, it's way too much for a player of his calibre.
Somebody should have put him on his ass for hitting our goalie.
Actually, that's good coaching. Babcock recognizes who is playing well and who isn't from shift to shift, and he adjusts accordingly. It isn't like Hunwick gets that all the time.

It was nice to see Bernier win a game the team shouldn't have won.
The Patrick Hornqvist stuff is ridiculous. Hornqvist was acting snakebitten after Bernier stopped him from the high slot on an open shot aimed for Bernier's five hole. NHL goalies should stop that one. And patting the opposition goalie on the head is patronizing in a competitive game.
That's a weird take.
It is interesting that the threads right now seem to be busier when certain players / the team play badly vs when they give a good effort. What does that say about us as a fanbase?
he's been playing quite well for more than one game. Playing well for enough games to at least give the hint that he's recovering. The stretch of bad games has been broken for sure. So does that mean the slump is over? Probably need a bit more time to determine that, but he's on his way.
Not really:
Definition, "patronize":
"treat with an apparent kindness that betrays a feeling of superiority."

Well except for the 'that betrays a feeling of superiority' bit.
As far as how entertaining this game was, let's hope Bettman and a few GMs see it. Maybe they will discover that the key to exciting hockey is flow and scoring chances, not higher scores achieved by changing the goalie rules every other season or this nonsense of making the nets bigger.
As in "I should be able to beat you from the high slot on an open shot. how did you stop me?"
