Post-Game Talk: Leafs win!

[mix1home]

What's Gauthier got to do with it? He's on the team anyway.

I was just wondering if, considering how poorly Kadri has been playing all year and so far into the playoffs, and what a liability he can be with his undisciplined play, and how well Nylander filled in for him, is it possible that he sits if we advance to the second round?

Don’t be silly.

 

[tom leafers]

First of all, Hainsey dropped his stick with 20 seconds left.... No Leaf would have been able to touch the puck right away either... so we're really just talking about 10 seconds to end the game...

I still don't understand how Boston maintaining possession on 6 v 4.5 in the offensive zone is a better tradeoff than regrouping and potentially winning back possession on a faceoff at 6 v 4...

I guess we'll agree to disagree.

agreed lol

1 medium sized head

Instructions

wrap around head, mold with hands to form hat

Leave on head.

Post on HFBoards

I like how you specified Alcan

You need to take off those rose colored homer glasses because you are looking foolish. I tell it like it is and only do it because I care about the Leafs. It's fans like you who blindly accept the mediocrity decade after decade. The Leafs will never win a cup while Jake Gardiner is on the team. That's a FACT.

I like my defensemen to be able to play actual defense. What a concept.. lol

Hmmm. Is this a real account or a parody? I mean you're using John Candy as an avatar and the word "myopic" can mean "lacking imagination, foresight, or intellectual insight," so I find it hard to take anyone with a user name like that seriously.

 

[The Apologist]

It's the truth. I hate when the company men come to defend him at every turn. THAT makes my stomach turn.

I was being kind by calling him scared. I'm ecstatic that he will be gonzo after the playoffs, never to play for the Leafs again. Gardiner is the worst Leafs defender (DEFENSE!) I've ever seen and it's not even close.

Really?
Jeff Finger and Bret Lebda say howdy.

After today, I am certain it's just a matter of time before Marner has his name on the cup.

With this set of forwards - two #1c, two #1w, great supporting forwards, two #1D, world class goalie we can compete and win against any team in NHL.

 

[AvroArrow]

minus 3 in a 9-3 win, i will never understand how. Lebda is easily the worst defenseman i have ever seen, ever.

I mean, I was sort of following your logic until the two #1D part...

Rielly is a #1D

Muzzin us at least a #2D

 

[notDatsyuk]

I agree. I specifically said that scenerio with 10-15 seconds left... I completely understand why things played the way it did... I just think the best way to try and prevent a goal in that specific scenario is to play the puck with the broken stick anyways.

Absolutely. But it would take an amazing player to even consider that option against many years of training, especially under those circumstances.

 

[Gary Nylund]

He was talking about defense not offense. Gards gave up the puck in the 1st period in his own end for 5 straight shifts. Now he is playing hurt so it is understandable as he works himself back to shape but he was god awful last night in his own end.

What I was talking about was calling our players childish names.

 

[JT AM da real deal]

That is never right ... well done ... these kids are bustin a nut for us every night win or lose

 

[mix1home]

I'm not sure who posted it, but someone said the Gardiner/Dermott pairing is the only defensive pair not scored on 5v5 in the playoffs.

Well, it is just function of minutes played and QoC.

 

[Havoc]

Muzzin is a stud. Imagine our blueline without him.

Gotta be more gentle when he puts him back down. Can't risk Marner rolling an ankle lol

 

[mix1home]

Believe it or not but we saw a few people leave when the B's called their timeout.

They show confidence in our guys. You know that we are 36-0-1 when leading after two periods? May as well leave in second intermission if you have other things to do. Boys will be fine. Lol.

I think Marner started grimacing after blocked shots. I don't think Muzzin hug caused that.

 

[mix1home]

just like when hyman scores a routine goal/assist its a highlight of the night, but nylander does it and its normal. It goes both ways

Did I tell you guys about the machine I engineered? It's called "NHL two sided players-mix machine". It actually takes two players and make them one. If you need reference, my best work is Chara.

 

[mix1home]

Muzzin has been an incredible addition so far. Cassidy is trying to get Bergeron's line away from him

Well, when you force other team to adjust to you, you half-won already. (c) me.

 

[mix1home]

We have as good a shot as any to advance far in the playoffs.

I know one thing. If Tampa is out (and they are far and away favorites to win the Cup) then remaining 8 teams will be very close and it will be decided by coaches, stile of play, luck, injuries and random goalie catching fire at right time.

 

[MJ65]

A win tomorrow is so important, we did win game 1 in Boston but it's going to be awfully tough (not impossible) to win again in Boston, when you are up 3 - 1 it's a confidence builder and you get 3 chances to finish it off

The key is to stay out of penalty box and resist the storm as they are going to come hard on us, as soon as the puck is dropped

Can you combine Nylander and Brown?

 

[mix1home]

I can. Did I mention that AAVs are multiplied for resulting player?

 

[mix1home]

I mean, I was sort of following your logic until the two #1D part...

Muzzin is #1D. No doubt. He is on second pair, but it's because he is used in matching role against best line in hockey. He has speed and shot, but tasked with shutting that line down. He does admirable job at that too. He is our Pronger.

 

[Myopic]

Hmmm. Is this a real account or a parody? I mean you're using John Candy as an avatar and the word "myopic" can mean "lacking imagination, foresight, or intellectual insight," so I find it hard to take anyone with a user name like that seriously.

Or maybe you don't have a sense of humour? You are tying too hard to crowbar an avatar and a silly name into the conversation. At least you have Gardiner fanboys for support judging by the avalanche of likes. I personally don't respect Gardiner fanboys, but to each his own. All is not lost...At least you learned the definition of a new word today! Viva la Leafs!

 

[realgoodleafs]

So important to take game 4.
