Post-Game Talk: Leafs win 2-1

[Rude Dog]

So Leafy to lose the shutout with 0.1 seconds left lol.

Decent game. Onto game 7...

Dude. Horrific title and first post after such an important win. Put a little effort as the opening act.

 

[Evilhomer]

Again, I have to remind everyone that @Evilhomer gets diplomatic immunity for a round if we win this series.

If? This series is done. Leafs will dominate Boston in game 7.

 

[HolyCrap]

The team defensive effort was superb. At no time were we hemmed in our end so long and so badly that I thought - "we are getting scored on". Also, I don't remember a breakaway or a two one one?

Best game I think I've ever seen Knies play. He was a wrecking ball in Bostons end and took care of business in his own end.

I was blown away at how well they played defensively. If they can figure out how to score and their PP watch out.

 

[Rob Brown]

Where all the whiney sky is falling after game 3 and 4 guys at?

 

[3blizzard4]

Wonder if Keefe puts Reeves back in for game 7?

 

[LeafalCrusader]

Rielly and Lyubushkin are a combined +9 and both have 3 helpers in six games. Thought they've been solid.

 

[Budz]

This ended Jack Edwards career, I could not be any happier. While I wish him good health and retirement - I am also thrilled to shut him the eff up.

On to game 7

 

[ChurchOfMatthews]

Wonder if Keefe puts Reeves back in for game 7?

I would say there's less than zero chance that happens. We'll need him for Florida.

 

[Warden of the North]

I get that nothing is over until it's over, but holy moly did almost everyone write this team off last Saturday, including myself. Epic comebacks are part of the playoffs and part of the excitement of them and should be expected of any team on their way ultimate victory.

Here we go again. Game 7. It's not over until it's over and I still don't want to cave into my feelings and feel hope for game 7

 

[PROUD PAPA]

Boys showed big, I mean BIG F***ing balls the last 2 games.

 

[Apex Predator]

Matthews had a game he dominated and won. Nylander just had one. You’re up Mitch! Get er done in game 7!

Agreed. Mo is a playoff performer, we all know that. But I'm shocked with how well Boosh has played. He's been terrific.

Nothing would make me happier.

Barring a finals appearance I still think he's needs to go, though.

No. A few days ago I mentioned that Keefe should take Reeves out of the lineup. Tonight he finally listened. Reeves should not play against Florida. They really don't need the type of toughness he brings in that series, and the Panthers will eat him alive defensively. He will be too much of a liability against that kind of team.

Definitely not everyone...

I'm telling you, game 7 will be a breeze compared to the last two games. Boston will collapse. The Leafs will win by 3 or 4 goals.

I admire your optimism.

My soul has been crushed too many times for that level of hope. Winning game 7 over that team will go a long way to uncrushing it though.

I for one am rooting for @Evilhomer , as should everyone.

If we win this round, I think we should all invest into a Leafs Hfboards hedge fund for him to manage.

They'll need Reaves to set the tone again. A lot more Bruins were taking liberties tonight with him out of the lineup.

 

[Larcos_Unal]

If I ever get boner problems, I will think about that pass by Knies to set up Willie on the breakaway

 

[ponder]

f***ING RIGHTS BOYS!!! I’ll be real, I’d given up after game 4, but these last 2 games the boys have been playing amazing, especially with no Matty!

Game 7 is gonna be stressful as f***.

 

[Budz]

Gotta love mental midget Marc Methot - the famous nobody and huge Ottawa Sens slurper - posting “the fix is in”.

What the actual eff.

- A game in which 2 calls went for the Leafs and 1 for Boston.

- The Holmberg cross-check, his guy is literally holding his stick for 5 seconds prior and right through the cross check

- Marchand literally pushed a linesman. Zero discussion.

You want a fix - watch when Wes refs game 7.

 

[KMNRB]

Though Woll loses the shutout, the team (and we) should learn by now that personal achievement means NOOOOOTHING!!!!! Team success means EVERYTHING!!!

 

[Jacquestrapless]

Lost in the win is that the PP was garbage yet again and no adjustments were made.

Curious as to why no reporter asked Keefe about it

 

[Warden of the North]

For the Bruins fans lurking; note that Woll had won the starters job prior to his injury.

He's not exactly our backup.

Because reporters want sound bytes and it's an easy redirect for Keefe.

"Not where it needs to be, losing Matty hurts, we'll look at it and try to be better, but happy with our game overall and the PK made up for it."

 

[MapleLeafsMats]

Kudos to the crowd in attendance tonight.

It sounded like a home game.

I was in attendance tonight and I can confirm the building was rocking tonight.

Go Leafs Go
