Post-Game Talk: Leafs win 6-3

[ToMaLe]

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

Said this plenty of times, why Millen still has a job is one of life’s great mysteries.

Crazy how much Babcock sucked the life outta these guys.

Leafs are fun again

edit: except ceci. **** ceci.

Holl makes Ceci expendable in the off season.

 

[Clammer]

I actually don’t even know where we fit johnsson and Moore on this team. We are way too stacked on forwards

 

[McSnypsky]

Missed the game is there a game recap video anywhere?

 

[Gabriel426]

Missed the game but glad they win. Good thing is the team was always leading. From the highlights, defence needs to be tighter but it is improving. PK and PP were good and Willie finally start shooting instead of aiming

If Engvall continues his climb and actually become a good fit with AM and WN, AJ is as good as gone.

I would argue that Ceci also made Ceci expendable in the off season.

The more I read the GDT and PGT after the game, the more I believe in the idea that this board has more trolls than most. We lose and they're out in hordes, we win and you can hear a pin drop.

About 50 years ago we had a guest speaker at our auditorium and he said, "When you lose say little, when you win say nothing."

The saying little doesn't seem to be popular here.

Think about this
Boston has had a hell of a year so far
And we haven’t until recently
And they are only 10 points up on us
5 game swing away from making this interesting
I’m going on the limb and saying we are going to overtake them
You heard it here first

Love the optimism Teeder. For that to happen we need consistency from our stars and for Rielly to become our No. 1 again. Their defensive zone coverage has to improve as well.

 

[Havoc]

Here we have people wanting to trade him. Keefe loves Nylander.

I like how he mentioned hard to knock off the puck.

I've always noticed this guys core and lower body strength is one of the best on the team.

Nylander will be like Marchand. When he's in his prime he will be in that position where the guys who used to shut him down have aged, the guys younger than him can't shut him down, and he's at least equal or better than the majority of his peers and inferior to a short list of them i.e The Matthews, Mackinnon's etc. of the league.

I'm fine with 60 points throughout his first 1-5 years in the league with a string of point per game seasons for another 4-5 until he becomes an oldie of the league. That's a huge win. Those who want him traded just because he's not a top 20 player at the age of 23 are drunk.

Trade bait for either D backup goalie or cap relief

While I know where you are coming from that comparison might be one for the ages

 

[Havoc]

While I know were you are coming from that comparison might be one for the ages

haha I didn't mean exact. More the circumstances that make a player finally reach his potential. Nylander will be in an ideal spot age wise soon.

Although nobody ever saw Marchand putting up these crazy stats so maybeeee Nylander can hit that 100 point pace at least once when he's 29 or something.

 

[TheTotalPackage]

Solid game all around by the Buds. Pounded on and dominated a team they should have beat. The big three all shone in this game. And the team got contributions from some of the lesser players on the scoresheet.

2 points in the bank and on to the next one. Keep ‘er rolling.

 

[Suntouchable13]

Really impressed with this team right now.

 

[Duffman955]

Playing really well recently.

Nylander has another gear. Let's see if he can unlock that this year. Also, please put Engvall on the Matthew's line.

3rd line is dam good recently.

Tavares line had its ups and downs tonight, but has been very good as of late.

Holl-Muzzin have been amazing.

Barrie still looks useless all over the ice.

The defending in front of the net has to be cleaned up.

 

[WildWolfdog]

looking forward to next season full season with keefe. I hope we make the playoffs this season but we may be just too far back but keep cheering it on until we mathematically can’t make it

I don't understand this line of thinking.

How are we in danger of missing the playoffs or too far back? Seriously. We are tied with the Habs for 2nd in the division with 1 more game played. And we have like 50 games left.

 

[DeanYoungblood10]

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

Mr. Rochon is that you?

Engvall-Kerfoot-Mikheyev is just money.

Unfortunately, probably too much for us next year. Mainly the bolded.

Fit them in a trade for D upgrade.

 

[ChurchOfMatthews]

He’s got to stop getting destroyed with hits tho
Wow he plays with his head down way to much

It's funny you mentioned this. I said to the wife tonight Kerfoot looks like he's targeted every single game.

 

[Wendelstache]

Holl makes Ceci expendable in the off season.

Ceci makes Ceci expendable is more like it.

 

[Teeder Keon]

It's funny you mentioned this. I said to the wife tonight Kerfoot looks like he's targeted every single game.

Lol
He has no awareness out there at all , I keep seeing him looking down at his skates , it’s disturbing thinking he’s going to get killed out there , thank gawd he didn’t play back when ..
Wow

 

[TheDoldrums]

Unfortunately, probably too much for us next year. Mainly the bolded.

I hope they'd rather deal Kapanen and/or Johnsson than see Mikheyev walk.
