Post-Game Talk: Leafs win 7-6 in OT

[garce]

How’d ya like Toews getting owned by Matthews ginger?

 

[Canada4Gold]

Pajama boy has 4 goals in 3 games.

cc: Isles fans on the mainboards.

0 assists, clearly the Isles had better goal scorers to surround him with

 

[ChurchOfMatthews]

I have a feeling we're going to witness a lot of games like this. Oh well, I'll take the 2 points.

 

[Da Cool Rula]

59th best goalie in NHL Gareth Sparks
60th best goalie in NHL Cam Ward.

Why we won.

Who chose to keep Sparks over McBackup

Dubas.

 

[Jmo89]

People blaming Sparks have no clue. He had no chance on at least 3 of those goals.

Blame Babcock for Zaitsev and Hainsey being out there for both of Kane’s goals. Does he like pain?

Where was Rielly?

Only in Toronto is your best defenseman on the bench when you are trying to close out a game.

6 goals against is a team effort for sure, but both EN goals were crap.

 

[NeelyWasAWarrior]

Who needs defense when you got Johnny T and Auston Matthews and you can score a million goals a game.

 

[SprDaVE]

I think that was tipped by Mr Passive Screen, Ron Hainsey

It was.

 

[LeafChief]

2 points is 2 points.

We're a team.

Tavares.

 

[Daisy Jane]

McDavid is the best player in the world but after him theres not a single player I'd choose moving forward over Matthews. Now that he's fully healthy and stronger he's a total machine.
This was prolly Kapanen's best game as a Leaf and he should be given a nice run alongside Matthews.
Sparks was trash and as a Dubas fan I think he might have really dropped the ball hard on this move.
Tavares with the monster game and it feels amazing to have a 1-2 punch that not many teams can keep down.
Very exciting game but we really need to either find a way to tighen up defensively or a move has to happen because you cant waste this type of offense with that blueline.

you think?
he did. it was a dumb dumb mistake. dumb dumb.
i don't mind 80 night style games. they are fun but it bugs me when it happen that we're just so passive. several of those goals were because of that or massive turnovers. the rest was because Sparks can't close his five hole. geeze

Wasn’t Reilly on the ice scoring the game winning goal?

 

[MattySnipes]

Matthews with 4 points

 

[francis246]

Man we are so ****ed if Freddie goes down for an extended period of time. LMFAO!!!

If that happens I think we have to try and trade for Bobrovsky

 

[Ratboy]

...but they scored 6?

Yeah what about the other 3 lol

 

[Crysis]

Waive Sparks.

Nope. Give him his 20 or so games. He deserves a fair shot to prove himself after last season and I don't care how bad it gets give him his 20 maybe he'll find his groove.

(Unless you can grab Pickard back and waive Sparks)

 

[Confucius]

I can conclude watching this game that Tavares, Matthews and Marner are good
Sparks is not

What a friggin game

I wonder how much more Nylander wants now?

 

[LeafChief]

Expecting more of the same on Tuesday against the Stars. They are pretty weak on D as well.

 

[2 Slick]

Please everyone stop claiming Dubas to be some amazing GM, he made a terrible decision to get rid of McElhinney.

Don Cherry said it last night, we are going to regret it, who knew it was going to be this early.

Doesn’t even feel like we won when you surrender 6 goals.

Who knew it was going to be this early? Probably pretty much any one with even a miniscule amount of common sense saw it coming.

I saw enough of his pre-season play, his sample size of NHL games a few years ago to know.

Some players are only good at the minor league level, nothing to be ashamed of. He's been in the system for 5-6 years, it's not gonna work out well for him.

 

[Gallagbi]

Kadri is -5 in the last 2 games combined he better get his head out of his ass

Which of those goals would you say he should have been better on?

 

[Drytoast]

In before a cesspool of people *****ing about back up goalies and management

Noone is saying we cant win with sparks...











...we just need to score 7 f***ing goals to do it.

 

[Antropovsky]

Nice to see Kapanen make the most of his opportunity... he really sparked his line.

 

[Da Cool Rula]

It's what I expected...except was even more entertaining...had the Chicago feed as a bonus!

Lol me too. But it gets so boring listening to them after a while

 

[Cor]

Nope. Give him his 20 or so games. He deserves a fair shot to prove himself after last season and I don't care how bad it gets give him his 20 maybe he'll find his groove.

Lol

 

[Glenn Isildur Healy]

Matthews with 8 points in 3 games
