Post-Game Talk: Leafs win in Tampa! 4-3

[Clark4Ever]

Has there ever been a more bipolar Leaf team?

Big bounce back effort and well deserved victory, but the boys need to start bringing that type of intensity every game.

 

[56 Years No Cup]

I expect a discussion dominated by the Leafs terrible 3rd period play and nothing about the blatant game-management reffing that influenced the period.

I'm not game managing, you're game managing.

Muzzin with another injury, god he's made of tissue paper.

 

[Stephen]

Huge win, but what’s important is consistency and not these Rocky style swings from one game to the next.

Beating Tampa is pretty big though. Feels like they kind of played us like we play weaker competition at times. Didn’t seem to take the Leafs too seriously at various points.

 

[IPS]

So does Tampa now become the worst team in the league since they lost to the team that lost to the Zamboni driver?!?!!

 

[ToMaLe]

100% bs reffing that period.

 

[sniper81]

Absolutely awesome effort. When Nylander, Matthew's and Marner are winning battles, we can compete in this league. Good job.

 

[Kamiccolo]

Go Arizona

 

[TheKule]

Good game against a world class team. Tough third without Muzzin. Holl I felt had a bad game, tough spot for him playing such tough comp. Nylander man of the match no questions.

 

[Stephen]

Muzzin with another injury, god he's made of tissue paper.

I think you have to give him a pass considering the hard game he plays.

 

[56 Years No Cup]

did bryan burke pick the stars?

how the hell did nylander not get a star?

Babcock picked the stars.

 

[PromisedLand]

2 pts is all I care about. Keep picking up pts dont care how

Hope nothing serious with muzz

With healthy line up we looking at:

Hyman-Matthews-Marner
XXX-Tavares-Nylander (whats the ETA on soup and mango?)
Engvall-Kerfoot-Kapanen
Clifford-Goat-Spezza

Muzzin Holl
Rielly Dermott
Sandin Barrie

over under of 20 pages. we won so i'm betting under

Nothing to vent. We won, sit back with a pop and enjoy the hubris - we've got it all figured out now!

 

[Burnie97]

Obviously needed this one tonight... another big game Thursday. Showed a bit of heart there, and effort.

Like everyone has been saying hopefully its not to serious with Muzzin.

Let's get another 2 points ... f Florida.

Go Leafs Go

 

[Havoc]

Leafs are built to go head to head with tampa and pitts.

Hopefully that's our path to the eastern finals.

 

[mikeyz]

Very shaky 3rd but a win is a win.

 

[bax]

did bryan burke pick the stars?

how the hell did nylander not get a star?

I thought that as well. Freddy was good but first star? Come on.

 

[SprDaVE]

Look at this crap and tell me it isn't a penalty. I don't care what kind of game it is.

If the Leafs do this, I can guarantee you it's a 2 minute.

 

[LeafsNation149]

Leafs played amazing minus Liljgren, and specifically, Sandin (he was awful). Hopefully Muzzins okay, we're screwed if he's not

 

[Cor]

Did the broadcast say anymore about Muzzin?

Im assuming it’s a broken hand

One game to the next? Hell, period to period. Tampa walked over us that period, we were lucky to hold on. You can't not generate a shot vs a team like Tampa for 10 minutes. It happens way too often and we've had very flat 3rds all year.

 

[aingefan]

Turns out we can beat Tampa.

This teams talented enough to beat any team.

 

[Dave92]

A bunch of guys who shouldn't be on the ice in the last minute of an NHL game managed to get the job done. Cant complain about the effort tonight.

 

[2 Slick]

No complaints really with their effort. I knew that Tampa Bay would come out hard in the third. They're a top team for a reason, so of course Toronto had to work hard for that victory. Andersen didn't impress me too much, but that's been the story all season. He was just okay for me.

 

[Blanche Blanche]

Tavares looking like... well Tavares. Beast with the puck.

Nylander throwing hits and going into the dirty areas. That goal was nice.

Matthews threatening all night.

Marner breaking up plays again while not throwing it away.

Engvall and Kap good looks and energy.

Freddy was solid.

Hope Muzzin is ok. Holl is our workhorse now

We might make the dance after all
