Post-Game Talk: Leafs win 4-1

[MoreMogilny]

Sandin continues to impress like he’s a seasoned vet. We have a gem.

Lil looked pretty solid too. Future is bright on our blue line.

Happy for Rittich. Matthews and Marner doing their thing.

Leafs dominance.

 

[Leaf4Life79]

Fantastic game! 'honestly' I was not expecting us to win tonight given all the players out... very happy with the outcome! we have a real good team here this year!!!!!! GO LEAFS GO!!!

 

[2 Slick]

The shot totals don't really tell the whole story. The Leafs were dominant in the first period, but had at least 13 missed net shots in the first 13 minutes of the game.

Matthews and Marner magic continues.

Spezza putting up points and playing for peanuts. What a steal.

I still don't care for Engvall's game, but he was good.

Hutton was really ineffective, sloppy and had a number of bad giveaways. Not a fan of his game. Depth signing, so doubtful he'll get much time in the playoffs, if any at all. Holl looked awful with him as well.

Soup put on the hits, has super speed, but brings zero offensive danger to his game. Just has awful hands.

Leafs didn't really give Vancouver much at all. The game management gave Vancouver a gimme goal, but it was done after two periods.

 

[Burnie97]

Solid win. Rittich played decent.

Matty padding for the rocket. Sandin and Lilly looked good. A few more wins should get the top seed hopefully.

Go Leafs Go

Over to the draft so off to the sabres board

 

[djdev]

Pretty sure this gives Matthews the GWG lead with 11 (McDavid at 10). Back to back GWG.

lol, i always found this stat to be so arbitrary..kinda like plus/minus

 

[Griffin76]

 

[MSZ]

Why did Marner collect the puck there?

Rittich's first win in blue and white?

 

[Orfieus]

More Sandin and Liljegren please

 

[Griffin76]

Another GWG for Matthews??

 

[Anthrax442]

Feels Good Man

 

[Leaf4Life79]

everything that i wanted to have happen..happened.

1. matthews scores
2. sandin/lily show the brass they are ready.
3. edler pays for his knee on hyman
4. rittich plays well.

cant hate on anything tonight.

You echo my thoughts, exactly! =) GLG!

 

[ACC1224]

Easy win, boring game. Who’s next?

 

[TheGreatOne11]

GO LEAFS GO BABY

The NHL isn't ready for CANADA'S TEAM.

You watch.

Great game boys and girls.

Have a good one.

 

[SprDaVE]

Sandin keeps impressing. Liljegren was pretty good and made a couple solid hits. Hutton was ok. Rittchie didn't have to do much.

Can we just fast forward to the playoffs?

 

[The Masters]

Impressive win. Not because we won but how we did it. Came out guns blazing and a playoff approach.

 

[fahad203]

Bo Horvat is a good guy but he's a glorified Matt Stajan.

Canucks fans talk about him as he's next Doug Gilmour. He's so vanilla

 

[BertCorbeau]

Considering they were resting a few regulars, they played really well. Vancouver just looked bad most of the game and the Leafs made them pay. But the Leafs did a great job pushing the pace and forcing turnovers in the first half to get the lead. And a nice shut down period in the third. Sat back a bit but not so much to give up chance after chance.

- Sandin was good in a bigger role, kid looks really good
- Liljegren was solid and looks like he's ready for the NHL and will adjust nicely in a full time role
- Hutton looked good as well
- Nice work from the depth players
- The Tavares line was solid
- PK was good, just caught a bad bounce
- No PP's to complain about
- Rittich didn't give up any softies

Refs game managed this to let the Canucks back into it with that second PP but the Leafs held strong and didn't panic.

Considering each defensive pairing was new I thought they did a really great job with nice support from the forward.

Magic number for the division is now 10.

 

[Wafflewhipper]

Sandin plays 21:39 . That was loads of top pairing minutes too.

 

[123offtheglass]

D looked solid tonight, don't think Holl did so bad considering how he was used but he looks like he needs a maintenance day next.

Sandin is something, Wayne fed Edler nannies cookies I loved it. Respect to Edler for dropping them

 

[djdev]

You echo my thoughts, exactly! =) GLG!

also, nobody injured..which always terrifies me with playoffs so close lol

 

[Leaf4Life79]

Sandin is a keeper.. I really hope he stays on the team! He is awesome! physical and gritty, smart plays! love the kid!

 

[On-the-Fly]

Damn man,

34 is so f***ing good and we are so f***ing lucky to be able to watch him do this.

 

[Crosscrease14]

Holtby is SHOOK

 

[genk]

Somebody get Grant McCagg a body bag for his take last night. Guy’s officially dead.
