Post-Game Talk: Leafs win 5-3

[Gabriel426]

Another game another win another 2 pts.
Just need another 21 wins.

Nice to get the win. Especially against a defensively stingy team like the Stars. Benn at 9.5M for 14 goals. Seguin has 11 goals.

Nice to see teams having to worry about defending us. I like it better that way.

We had put in at least 4 goals in the last 7 games on the road and all I heard on Toronto media was how tough it was going to be against a stingy Dallas team. We’re a legit offensive powerhouse being led by our core (minus Tavares who continues to look out of sorts).

muzzin looks to be a must re-sign.

Pretty sure that Muzzin wants to stay. Toronto boy. He's made a ton of money already so we might get a sweet deal here.

It really sucks Mikheyev got injured.

Mik - Tavares - Nylander would have been a insane second line.

Honestly they played hard and a bit reckless with some of the hits off the boards, but there wasn't really any goonery. The only real scruffle there was was the one after Sandin got hit, where nobody looked particularly interested in the extra curricular activity... especially the ones instigating it. Haha

I thought pulling sandins head back was pretty goonery too.

 

[Pyrophorus]

I still think Comeau should talk to Parros.

 

[LeafsNation75]

It doesn't look like Matthews will be given an assist on Johnsson's empty net goal because the NHL PR Twitter account posted the following scoring changes and neither one mentioned Matthews getting another assist.

 

[Pyrophorus]

Can I say that the next game, might be our most challenging game?

Should have been a penalty but let's not get over dramatic here

 

[IPS]

Muzzin is very important to this defense.

 

[Brown Dog]

Such a satisfying win.

Trade Tavares or ship him off to Robidas Island.

 

[TMLS]

Willie has more goals than assists. I thought he was supposed to be a better play maker than goal scorer. Hopefully he can help Johnny get out of his funk soon.

He does, feeds him amazing passes but washed up Tavares always shoots right at the goalies chest every time. Willy should have at least 9-10 more assists if he had a competent finisher with him.

 

[Eb]

Trade Tavares or ship him off to Robidas Island.

Who are you? I want to identify the idiot that types this out!

Calling a spade a spade. Often goon plays are penalties. Whether it's a spear or cheap slash or a yank/punch.

 

[Kiwi]

Muzzin is very important to this defense.

Muzzin and Holl taking tough matchups and not getting curb stomped is vital since we have very few guys on the backend that can be trusted defensively

Rielly and Barrie are scary bad in their own end, Ceci is fine if he's on the 3rd pair, Dermott is starting to come around but he's not there yet and Sandin is a kid

That's not exactly confidence inspiring

I’ll have what Zack is having...

its zacH

 

[mix1home]

Well, that second goal we scored was something else.

 

[Superstar]

Well, that second goal we scored was something else.

Like Joe Montana to Jerry Rice...

 

[rimshot]

Comes from the word sage, no?

Yes, just like doublicious comes from the root word 'double'.

Muzzin is from Woodstock, which is in no way part of the GTA.

 

[LeafsOHLRangers98]

Up to 12th in the NHL but 9th in the conference... I expect teams like the Islanders/Jackets/Flyers/Canes/Panthers to start losing a few games here. They were all too good going into the break while we were on our 1-3-2 streak.

 

[DanM]

Trade Tavares or ship him off to Robidas Island.

What? lol

We won't be saying this during playoff time if we get in.

He has been off a bit for sure, but you have to wonder if he is playing through something.

 

[horner]

Muzzin is from Woodstock, which is in no way part of the GTA.

It's a 1 hr drive I would say that is pretty close to home.
