Post-Game Talk: Leafs Win 4-1 | See you in Tampa Matthews!

[fahad203]

Babs apparently said Komarov will be back on the Kadri line after the break. The question is; is our coach insane?

I heard that.

WHY WHY WHY WHY

 

[Rob Brown]

Yup. Big baby Benn.

I don't think he's a baby at all. He's the leader of the team and is pissed.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

But but but I was told earlier today this was a bad team that would get slaughtered, so there was no point in even watching

 

[Loosie]

Amazing game. Pair of goals from Kadri. McElhinney played great. Love it!

 

[HogTown06]

For all the negativity in the GDT about how the Stars would trucidate the Leafs I think the boys did pretty good.

And turns out all that Kadri needed to get going was to have Komarov off his wing...

 

[LeafsNation75]

I need to see this quote to believe it.

I mean, I already kind of do but I’m in denial until I see the interview or a credited journalist tweet it.

Chris Cuthbert mentioned it at the end of the game.

[Slyfox]

This team is fun to watch again with Leo on the fourth line and Kapanen in the lineup. Also Dermott too

 

[TMLeafer]

Statement win.

Shoutout to McElhinney. Great performance from him.

 

[Leaffan1991]

Great game by the boys. Solid all around every line played well. The only change I would make would be putting komarov at center and sticking leivo on that line with kom and kap. Or if Babcock is that stubborn at least put Martin in for Moore komarov at center though.

 

[Kelly]

Agreed Jake's been solid, hopefully he can keep it up.

 

[Bullseye]

I heard that.

WHY WHY WHY WHY

I think he's playing with things a bit. He road that dead combo for as long as anyone could but the new line looks so much better and the results are impressive. No way he goes back to Komarov on with Kadri(I hope).

well he said it before they actually played right? i can only hope he has the judgement to actually see how much better these lines have been

No he will play the match up game at home. Kadri is this team shut down center, and Leo is good defensively. Just another case of you guys not having a clue about the chess match that actually goes on.

Babcock knows EXACTLY what he is doing.

[Leafs at Knight]

Agreed Jake's been solid, hopefully he can keep it up.

Needs to keep it up when we get healthy again. He looks like he did most of last year right now.

 

[scotian1]

A great team win, good effort by all the players.

 

[LeafsNation75]

The funny thing is prior to tonight's game Babcock said since they won last night he wasn't going to change anything with the lines.

 

[Kelly]

also. grrr. All Star Game.
and guh Matthews going i wish he wasn't (yah yah honour) i'd rather he get the rest rather than playing show pony.

Meh it's not like the All Star game is rigorous or anything. I don't mind him going and hanging with legit superstars for a weekend and soaking the experience up. It'll be fun to watch him too.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Chris Cuthbert mentioned it at the end of the game.

Oh he said it earlier and before tonight. Ok ok so there’s a chance he may not do that and stick with Marleau-Kadri-Marner for a while.

 

[PromisedLand]

Very diff team with instant threat speed with Kappy on the side, and Dermott being able to slice through if you over committ.

Kadri with passing/skating wizard Marner changed everything. Should not change at all. It aint broke.

True depth is felt.

Winning a b2b, vs a rested Stars... with our Backup.. we know how it feels Dallas lol.. we know.

Go Leafs go!!!

Babcock probably learned (hopefully) from the game against the Avs where the speed of their 4th line was just too much to keep up.

 

[CabanaBoy5]

Leaf fans to Babcock:

Put Komarov on the fourth line....check
Bring Kapanen up....check
Sit Martin....check
Give Dermott a regular spot on d....check

Result: two wins and a more energetic and complete effort

Hey Babs, what took you so long to listen?

 

[Al14]

Agreed Jake's been solid, hopefully he can keep it up.

When he moves his feet, takes the puck with him, he is GREAT!

When he dillydallies and let's opposing players strip him of the puck, NOT SO GREAT!

He has to move the puck with authority, and decisively, EVERY TIME!

 

[2 Slick]

If Babcock puts Komarov back on the line with Kadri and Marleau, he's literally the dumbest coach in the NHL.

Keep him for 4th line duties and the penalty kill.

This decision will be very telling of what we have in a coach. If he reverts back to the old lines i think any chance of a serious Cup run within the next five years will be impossible.
