Post-Game Talk: Leafs WIN!

[willmma]

I mean, Kadri doesn't gain momentum for his hit until AFTER DeBrusk has passed the puck away Let's not pretend he was finishing his check.

He's playing with an edge, I'm all for it being late, high, and a slewfoot if that's what others want to think.

DeBrusk before Kadri
DeSkrub after Kadri

Holy smokes Trevor Moore almost killed Zdeno Chara. This kid is just something else. Brown, Moore and Kadri were beasts last night. Heck if Gauthier can actually locate a guy, we might suddenly be the blue meanies. LOL.

I knew Brown would show up for the playoffs, he does not want to get traded or leave his hometown.

DeBrusk before Kadri
DeSkrub after Kadri

In the DeBrusk calendar, the year is now 1AK

Didn't Boston have more PPs than us Game 1? Kinda funny when I see people whine about the refs helping us when we had 1 PP I believe when we already had a 3-1 lead. Also kinda funny hearing Boston fans call Kadri a POS when they have Marchand on their team.

2-1 in the man advantage. Everyone will say that Leafs got a penalty shot but that was an obvious call to make and if Marner had been stopped, it would still be 1-1 with Bruins on the PP. The only call against Boston was the hesitant interference call after Chara had done it a handful of times before including some questionable hooks, cross checks, slashes.

Bruins, averaging near 10PIM/GP got 2 PIM
Leafs, averaging 6PIM/GP got 4PIM

But the refs were against Boston /s

Lol that is pretty late.

Which late Debrusk hit are we talking about here?

 

[DopeyFish]

probably not feeling great after smacking himself in the boards after the marner breakaway

 

[Marshy]

Which late Debrusk hit are we talking about here?

that one seems fine. Nothing wrong with that.

Enjoy the maintenance day Jake.

 

[Walshy7]

That is impressive,

but that’s very late, lucky he didn’t take a penalty there

 

[razkaz]

That wasn't late, the Kadri one however was probably a little late

 

[willmma]

My only guess is they are laughing it up about DeSkrub.

also, sitting beside the pretty boy, Kadri looks ugly

 

[Jozay]

The debrusk one was definitely late. Glad hes ok.

The chara one seemed to be in the 1-1.5 second range.

 

[ToneDog]

But he didn't.

I thought B's were tough? I thought when someone landed a good hit on a Leaf and we didn't have goons to go after them, we were soft compared to the B's.

Did any Bruin run a Leaf ? Let's see how the Bruins come out the rest of the series before we assume they are not the team we thought they were.

What does any Bruins running a Leaf have to do with my point?

 

[rojac]

Rewatching the game on TSN right now, I think we're going to win!!

You mean Sportsnet, don't you. TSN has no rights to show the game.

You said, "I thought when someone landed a good hit on a Leaf and we didn't have goons to go after them, we were soft compared to the B's.". You think somebody is going to go after Chara if he hits Matthews, Tavares or Marner.

What is your point ? My point was that Chara does not need anybody to defend him. He can easily do it himself.

 

[horner]

Love Moore

 

[Lilou]

Still feels good. I pray they can win tomorrow. Bring the same gameplan and avoid the thuggery and scrums we will probably see a lot of.

 

[Legendary]

When Marner scored, it felt like maybe things will finally go our way in the playoffs. In previous years, Leafs player wouldn't have scored on that penalty shot. Anyway, just a feeling I got.

I see that penalty shot goal as a very good omen. Call me superstitious but I’m feeling a little better about this series now

 

[Havoc]

You know you played well when opponents need maintenance days after playing one game.

 

[DopeyFish]

They need to be a bit cleaner, too. Refs could start nitpick calls and the Leafs may get themselves in trouble because of some of the borderline stuff

It's easier to give them no reason to call you than to make an excuse in the post game interview.

My point is that many think the Leafs are soft because they can point out a time when an important Leafs player takes a solid hit and there isn’t a fight after. Posters have said Bruins will run over the leafs because they are a tough and gritty team that don’t get pushed around.

Here we have the captain of the Bruins take a solid hit, pretty dangerous spot no less, and no response.

Maybe Bs aren’t as tough as everyone thinks. As a corollary, maybe responding after a big hit by fighting or taking a coincidental minor isn’t any sign that a team is particularly good.

 

[Kiwi]

If Debrusk would have been injured there I’d bet the league would at least look at it.

If the hit wasn't illegal (arguable) you shouldn't face supplementary discipline because of the outcome of said legal body check

Sorry you're right.

 

[4chandler]

He's probably watching it on Leafs TV

 

[as Pure as Evil]

I don't think people are recognizing how dangerous that move debrusk pulled on marner was. he was just extremely lucky he lost it and went in to the cage and rask rather then the posts or the boards. could have been a very scary situation. that exact kind of stick play has broken legs ankles ribs and countless other injuries.
