Post-Game Talk: Leafs win 5-3

[Leaf Fans]

Cap lost 6-0 tonight... Damn, they'll want blood on Saturday

No, we look at this isolated game and assume that the score will be exactly the same.

 

[BigGulpsEh]

Need to tighten it down better in their own end but a win is a win. Decent game for the leafs

 

[raydizzle]

I swear, Matthews plays better D than most of our actual D.

 

[Nooodles]

Maybe look at the good things about the team?

Tavares got 4 apples tonight.

Btw why do you call this apples? It's a goddamn fruit.

 

[Ziggdiezan]

Looking like JT got 4 assists

 

[supermann_98]

Wow, error 520 ... was Nylander traded?

 

[Stand Witness]

If Matthews scores at the same rate he did last season he will have 51 goals.

He isn't going to do that. He is improving and he has a lethal power play too.

He is getting 55-60.

Wasn't too concerned during the third, even if the Wings tied it up there wasn't much chance of them taking the win. Leafs sat back too much but in an 82 game season, it's going to happen, especially when you think you can score at will (and essentially have been).

Marincin is looking good, I'd keep him in until he earns a night off.

 

[Boutette]

Another win, another angry mob! Doin' it right... (On the wrong side of the fans)

I wish Wilson was playing on Saturday. I hope Ovechkin or one of those other meatheads knocks some sense into these guys.

What a weird thing to say.

 

[razkaz]

Andersen is looking better

PP is still deadly

Our unaffordable core looking real good

Damn it feels good to be a Leafs fan

 

[Warden of the North]

Poor Zaitsev that game. Got absolutely smashed on analytics but I cant see much he did wrong during the game. Seemed to be continuous highlights of him doing the right thing while Gards or the forwards left men open or made gaffes.

I feel for ya Zaits.

He needs to be playing with Rielly. I think its only a matter of time

So 8 out of a possible 10 pts to the start the season.

I don't care how ugly the individual games where (or parts of those games). All I see are 8 pts in the standings

In the words of Mike Babcock:

"We got two bonus points in the bank, now its on to the next segment".

 

[Warden of the North]

I wish Wilson was playing on Saturday. I hope Ovechkin or one of those other meatheads knocks some sense into these guys.

Uh what?

 

[BertCorbeau]

Leafs are 4-1-0.

I dont know why people are freaking out about them not being in post season form. Its October.

No reason to be worried yet but given the expectations of the team, and the defensive play on the ice, I think we're allowed to be critical of the team even in wins.

I'm not thrilled by how they won this game either. They were in complete control through 2, but sat back on their heels in the third and allowed the Wings to get back into it. The PP won't always bail them out.

One of those things they'll have to improve on.

Stupid Nylander, that whole board could be ours

 

[ThewThew]

Lindholm played well tonight and Gardiner continues to make silly mistakes.

 

[The Best Leafs Ever]

Much better game from Andersen tonight, Leafs just gave too many grade A chances and that fluke goal gifted to Detroit. That should’ve been on ice call.

 

[56 Years No Cup]

Well, we won, but that 3rd period left a sour taste in my mouth. We played really well over the first 2 periods, but got completely dominated in the 3rd.

Great! The Caps got blown out and we're up next in their barn. Great....

 

[Brown Dog]

Montreal and that stupid torch...

 

[Gallagbi]

I swear, Matthews plays better D than most of our actual D.

He was directly responsible for the 2nd GA.

 

[PromisedLand]

a big ass middle finger to the refs and the video room in toronto

a big FU from the hockey gods -> "Hainsey Goal"

 

[MyBudJT]

To those complaining about defensive gave... 2 pts is 2 pts... at this time of year, it doesn't matter if we're firing at all cylinders or playing perfect hockey.... just need the points...

Its the last 20 games of the season that its important that we're playing the right way...

 

[BigGulpsEh]

I was a bit of a Hyman hater in the past but he looks really good this year. All round game has improved
