Post-Game Talk: Leafs win 4-2

[The Man with a Plan]

Pretty good game today. The boys showed up. Barrie and Sandin settled in after the 2nd goal. Still can’t believe Hyman already got 21 goals in 47 games. He is our Tom Wilson

Only cheaper

Another nice win, good effort.

Kapanen could be taking that next step right before our eyes

He's an angry angry man right now
I like it

 

[ottomaddox]

Zack Hyman is my life.

 

[Kiwi]

Exactly. Gotta collect names, fit be damned. Especially when (not) looking at the other teams' needs.

When I get Dumba and Risto thrown at me I want to walk into a wall

That's what's going to make us better defensively? **** sakes

 

[Cobra777]

Marty marincin 1st 2 periods same ol Marty but the 3rd he was Bobby Orr and Rod Langway rolled into one.

I think this team realizes they need to play 200 feet to win withthat defence.

Only criticism is Engvall. Quit that curlback into your zone. Cause cycle against too often

Yup I hear ya I always yell at the t.v turn going up ice for cryin out loud as he always curls back to our zone then coughs it up

 

[Dekes For Days]

Watch out Matthews. Marincin comin' for your rocket.

Great win.

We should make one....

"Who would you pick, Zach Hyman or Pettersson"

I take Hyman.

Pettersson is the most overrated player in the NHL.

 

[stickty111]

All the reactions were good but Barrie's was fantastic.

 

[axlrose87]

Was Pettersson playing?

Ya. He took a nice dive on that dermott penalty.... or there was a strong gust of wind through the arena

Holl and Dermott are taking steps right before out eyes towards being true top-4 players. They already have Rielly and Muzzin who are. Barrie has put together his best 3 games in a row as a Leaf. And Ceci is fine on the PK and bottom pair.

Don't look now, but if the team can get one of the goalies hot.....dammit this team keeps sucking me in.

They should have been to busy laughing to be able to celebrate

I know I was

It's like a bad relationship, every time I think I'm out the pull me back in

Holl and Dermott play exactly the style we need as well, defensively responsible with puck moving ability

He's a higher scoring Cody Ceci, their advanced stats are eerily similar

 

[BertCorbeau]

Dermott and Holl were a top pairing for the Marlies IIRC

 

[ULF_55]

Marincin only 4 behind Barrie now, in 1/3 the games.

 

[SeaOfBlue]

JT and marner are MIA a bit.

JT does still make some good quiet plays, and I do not think he is making a ton of mistakes.

He's playing like you hope when a guy is not getting on the scoresheet. Winning a ton of draws, positive in possession, still making some decent defensive plays...

Marner is pure high event, which is not a good thing.

 

[Jeffrey Pedler]

I thought Gauthier had the best game of his career tonight. I had to do a double take to make sure it was him out there. He played at a different level the full 200'. Props to him as I didn't see him as an NHL player going forward.

Gauthier has been good this whole season.

 

[Popeye7735]

Great win. Great team effort. Just get into the playoffs and we will surprise.
As uninspiring as Marner has played lately, his tape to tape pass to Hyman for his empty net goal was a beauty.

I keep thinking now that Muzzin is signed......Dermott making strides......Sandin with another year of Barb and the weight room......

I occasionally wonder if a Rielly for Parayko (base) is good for both teams? St. Louis has Faulk, Pietrangelo, and Bortuzzo on the right, and basically only Gunnarsson and Dunn on the left.

Barrie 3 points ahead of Kadri.

Funny to see the mood in here after all the negative hot takes a week ago...

Give it some time...

 

[Cobra777]

Nice win! Controlled much of the game. Can't give up early goals like that though, 2 goals against warmups can sink you early.

Lots of solid games tonight, good to see.

Matthews with the 2 posts, could've had the hat trick!

Yep The Matty Hatty lol

I think Rielly may be to important to the room to move at this point, the team fell into a hole when he went down and were just coming out of it now

It's not a bad idea though if you want to balance the pairs, I'm not as worried about that though since Rielly and Dermott can play on the right if needs be
