Post-Game Talk: Leafs Ground Jets 5-3

[justloveleafs]

This better be true

Brilliant strategy you have to admit.

 

[Gallagbi]

Nice to get the win. Some details to clean up, but nice to have some pucks go in

 

[Confucius]

Must win and we pulled it off.

Glad to see.

Boy we had quite a few must wins the last couple of weeks. lol

Senior's Day in Winnipeg: Simmonds, Spezza with goals, Thornton with an assist. Free dentures for all fans in attendance.

 

[CapspaceKiller]

Engvall was the worst player on the ice

Feels great man

Great start to the game. Back and forth but they found a way to keep and defend lead. Good game. Continue to improve.

Happy for Foligno.

M&M combine for 3G, 3A.

I love M&M as much as anyone but you could argue MacKinnon Rantanen

Wheeler not in a good mood in his post game interview love to see it

Thought Holl had a rough time

Hellebyuck

Pretty much. Get acceptable goaltending and we are fine. Good rebound effort. Don't think we played great or anything but good performance.
Fologno was solid and Marner was fantastic.

100%. Keefe came out and said he had the scoring chances 52-17 in the 2 games games against Vancouver and pretty much threw the goaltenders under the bus.

 

[Antropovsky]

When you see Foligno casually finishing checks hard on a forecheck it's just a clear reminder what that kind of gritty play style can do for a line. You get a guy doing that and Simmonds and Galchenyuk and Thornton chipping in, it gets the ball rolling and tires out the opposition.

Saw Nylander trying to settle the puck in the corner until he saw an incoming player... then say nah fu** it and stepped aside for Winnipeg to have it.

Yah...

You're looking too much into it.

It's just a funny Leafs meme bc of a big game points wise by M&M

Don't go quoting me in the polls section for best duos lmao.

 

[Gallagbi]

Gotta say, I really like what I've seen from Brooks and Sandin this year. Not impact guys (right now), but solid, smart and add something to our lineup

 

[bax]

Anyone from Tuesday's PGT still think we're not making the playoffs?

people actually thought they wouldn’t make the playoffs?

Many on this board don’t know anything about that. Fine if you are learning the game and don’t know that but it’s not cool when they argue this guy was to old and slow without a darn clue what he really does.
He didn’t look slow to me, how about anyone else,did he look slow and old to you anyone? That was so sickening to read repeatedly building up to this first game.
Awesome game by him. Foligno on that line and hyman with J.T and Willy all the time could be some fun hockey to watch. Nash is good too. Hopefully Mikheyev gets back quickly because I can’t stomach watching Engvall anymore.
Welcome to the Leafs Brooksie. Thats a much better player for the fourth line.

As usual, time to read Jets fans tears.

Hopefully this is a turning point for our team.

I don't know how much it means, but nail down 1st place with back to back wins against WPG on Saturday.

If you think the Leafs goal tending sucks...you don’t know Jack!!

 

[BertCorbeau]

Nice slump busting game. Had its rough moments but they grounded through them and Campbell battled. Let’s hope he gets some confidence back.

Nice debut from Foligno. He’ll get even better with more practice time. Exactly what’s needs in the top 9.

This big win gives the Leafs a nice divisional lead. I think winning the division and ending strong will give this team some needed playoff confidence.

Sandin looks stronger than last year and a bit more poised. Still gets pushed around a bit in the corners but he’s looking NHL ready for sure.

Brooks impressed me in the third. He showed his upside there, and could be a viable third line option if he keeps working at it.

Also credit to the PK for shutting down the Jets PP

 

[Optimist]

Just a good effort all around that paid off. Nice to get back into the win column. Foligno made an impression. He might be just what we need. Campbell looked a little rough out there to me but he made some great saves and got us the win. I thought that Brooks showed that he has a very nice set of hands. I'm liking him. And of course, the big boys did their jobs tonight. Get the brooms out...

Keep Brooks in when Mikheyev comes back.

Coach and his vets:

 

[zeke]

Not a great game but not awful in the end.

Too many big boners along the way tho.

Jack wasn't awesome but made enough good saves to deserve the win.

 

[CapspaceKiller]

Keep Brooks in when Mikheyev comes back.

For sure, I don't think brooks is a center, but he wants it
