Post-Game Talk: Leafs win 6-3

[LeafGrief]

Great game. Freddy was shaky but we were strong defensively and our offense was absolutely nuts. Time to get two more points tomorrow in Detroit and get a real streak going

 

[Teeder Keon]

Hell yes, got unexpectedly discharged from hospital after the 1st, and home in time to watch us dominate the third.

Feels good man.

This was a game they had to win and they did. Andersen didn't look too great two games in a row but the offense found a way to put it in back of net. Nylander and Marner were special this game.

Solid game especially that 3rd. Way to close it out. Time to clip those Wings. Hopefully Hutch has a game.

Good win. Just win tomorrow and we're set up really well with a bunch of home games coming up.

Florida just finished a 9 game homestand tonight, have a brutal schedule down the stretch.

Habs just started a 7 game road trip.

Eichel cools off at all the Sabres are done.

Just stay ahead of Tampa and keep playing well boys!

"Manage the bench..." with 30 secs left. Oh Millen...never change.

 

[Leafsfan74]

Now the dreaded backup game tomorrow...

They have to break through, you can't lose momentum every time you have to play your backup, it's unsustainable.

 

[OVO16]

Cody Ceci was great tonight

Matthews was our best player tonight again. Was dominant.

 

[Coachcorner]

We was much better than that other club on that one sire. Well deserved with the offensive minded skilly talent ice hockey.

Now get that One Thug under God. Then we set for the playoffs. Do it like a G.O.

 

[goleafsgo1990]

34/88 outstanding

You're usually lucky if you get one guy in a season come out of nowhere...
Soupman, Giraffe, Holl... we've got three

Those guys are actually doing what we all hoped Kappy and Johnsson would be doing by now.

 

[Teeder Keon]

Cody Ceci was great tonight

Cody Orr

How did we do guys?
The scoring chances and HDCA don't look good. Are those numbers misleading in this game? Or did we not play well?
I didn't see the game.

 

[IPS]

still getting used to this whole actually enjoying hockey again thing

They were good, they were just always either leading or tied. If you adjust for score, their xgf% was like 64%

A good laugh.

 

[LeafsOHLRangers98]

Cody Ceci was great tonight

He was much better.

I still had to laugh at that play at the end of the game though. Sat behind the net for 30 seconds decidimg on what to do and still punted a pass into a Ranger shinpad lol

I hope all is well with your health.

Time to enjoy the first b2b win tomorrow.

 

[Funk21]

This game had letdown written all over it. Nice win Boys!!!!

 

[Warden of the North]

Watched Mandalorian with my kid after the 1st. Happy they pulled out the win

 

[Heritage]

Great game by the guys!

let’s keep it rolling against Detroit tomorrow!

I didn't see the game.

Freddy looked below average. I didn't think Rielly-Barrie were very good in their own zone.
Third line was great as per usual.
Nylander and Marner were great, although Marner's line has trouble in their own zone.
Matthews was very good defensively and engaged the puck.
I don't know about those scoring chances because we had over 40 shots and the rangers had 22.

 

[Kiwi]

A perfect example of one team being clearly superior and potting some goals, knocking off, the other team coming back at them them, then turning it on when they needed to to run away with the game

We played very well, the odd defensive breakdown but that's going to happen when the boys are not quite engaged mentally

Now it's just a matter of keeping this feeling and momentum going and kicking some red wing ass in the game tomorrow

Time for a William Nylander appreciation thread?
