Pre-Game Talk: Leafs vs [s]Refs[/s] Oilers

[hoglund]

I expect a nail-biting, one goal affair either way.

Most of the games this year have been close one goal games. The Leafs have a lot of wins, but aren't dominating.

 

[Marshy]

Thankfully they're getting stick lifting out of the game. Some guys don't have man strength it's not fair.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Hopefully Kerfoot is better than he was last night

 

[Captain14]

Soup really needs to start producing. He is playing more minutes with good players.
If his drought continues over the next couple games, they need to shuffle someone else into that slot and see what they get.

 

[PromisedLand]

Just get at least a point if not 2. Also would nice to see Sandin get a game

For this time only I was hoping the game would start a little later because I wanted to catch Chara play against boston lol

 

[BertCorbeau]

Tough to beat the same team in consecutive games. Especially with how the defense has lapsed a bit lately.

Nonetheless a win would be an excellent way to cap off a busy start to the season.

At least get a point out of it

 

[tmlfan98]

Imo I don't think Boyd's done anything to warrant sitting tomorrow. I would leave him in to motivate him that if he keeps producing like this he'll be a regular.

 

[supermann_98]

More of that 1st period please

Gotta give Keefe some credit lately the team starts on time ... unlike the previous coach who shall not be named

True but we did it to Calgary and I consider Calgary a much better team overall than the Oilers. Plus, the game wasn't even close until the refs decided they wanted to steal the show. The Oilers fan board doesn't sound optimistic they're gonna win tmrw night

Not only will the Oilers play harder, the refs will work a bit harder too...

 

[Coachcorner]

Leafs look friggin good man!

They're turning into that team we hated to play against, and were jealous of their structure.

They remind me of when we would face Chicago back when they were cup hunting... Skill and structure and playing well in the corners.. hope they keep on growing.

That is exactamundo sire. Precis like they says. We have the money, the power and now it shows in the personel. Combined to the whole game and team. Our team the strongest, with the most structur. We have the chess now. We mating that other team the whole season long. Lets see if the oil can win even ONE They will have to do their best and even that's not enough. Our suckas that tough and still twerkin! WHAT!

 

[hockeyes]

This guy is amazing who posts on reddit/r/leafs. For last game:

 

[Albus Dumbledore]

We have a mini break coming up. Hopefully the buds are mad after last game and know they won't get another game in a while and they use that as motivation.

 

[Brown Dog]

Good to see looking like Engvall to get back in. He brings more than Boyd.

It would be great if they win again. The last time Leafs won 5 consecutive games was back in Dec 2018.

 

[crump]

The Leafs could go a long way to making me like their Retro white third jersey by blowing away the Oilers tonight. It’s the only way.

 

[TopChedder]

Looks like Lehtonen in for Dermott
Engvall in for Boyd.
I'm fine with it. Lehtonen but especially Barabanov are running out of time to impress.

Pull Veseys ass out of the lineup and give it to Boyd.

Ves is a beyond useless hockey player.

 

[7even]

Just realized this is a contract year for Zach Hyman

In 2017 when Matthews had a bad game I was like please for the love of god get this guy off Matthews' line. In 2021 when Matthews has a bad game I'm like please for the love of god get this guy back on Matthews' line.

You meaning all the powerplay goals

Not trying to slam Vesey but Boyd is a solid player in many different ways. Good two way player with some skills

I like that avvy.

 

[Damisoph]

if the reffing is bad, make it bad for both teams like last game

 

[The Hanging Jowl]

They made an iffy call late in the game against Edmonton but other than that, the bad officiating was mostly directed at the Leafs.

 

[Nylander88]

I'll agree. But Boyd has brought more than Barabonov. Ideal fourth line with what we have right now is Engvall-Boyd-Spezza. Spezza taking the majority of the draws.
