Post-Game Talk: No Benny, Montour, or ek? No problem. Leafs run from the grind, Cats win 3-1

[Gentle Man]

I can't wait to see this team at full strength.

Literally these games right now to me are unexciting because we lack so much power.

Eh it’s fun seeing new faces thrive

Leafs fans really not taking this October loss very well, are they?

Regular season means a lot. It’s all they have.

 

[Boothinator]

Feels so good To see Leafs fans losing it

 

[Vilam]

Made a thread about Reaves on the main board. If I don’t talk to you guys for a couple weeks… that means they got me. BUT ITS f***ING WORTH IT BABY

Hero!

I know, getting Benny and Monty back will be HUGE

Did Reaves even do anything tonight? I was at the game and I only noticed him when he was in the penalty box.

Sounds like our $10million captain tonight

For 4 new guys and one being an NHL rookie the D hasn’t been that bad. Hopefully they improve the longer they all play together. I was expecting a much bigger shit show than what we’ve seen so far.

Uh yeah… he scared the f*** out of our players. Would’ve killed Bennett too.

Honestly, every team lacks power. Except the leafs. They have Ryan Reaves.

 

[Little Bobby Boo]

Stenlund looks massive out there. Literally looks 7ft tall on the ice.

 

[Mogo]

Good to see the guys survive that mighty Reaves. I was expecting our boys not even come out of the lockerroom with the threat of playing against Reaves

That's because you were afraid to notice him

Oh ya. Reaves and Barkov were the same alright

Reaves must have scared you into thinking down is up and up is down

 

[Gizmo Tkachuk]

I don’t know what’s more surprising. Being 2-2 with Barkov and Chucky goalless or Reinhart scoring 4 goals in the first 4 games

Interesting. I read people saying Mikkola had a great game yet this says otherwise?

Ending bias is what I think. He was clutch

Made some big blocks and hits in the 3rd. Rest of the game, meh

 

[WaitingForThatCab]

Mikkola looks like a guy who could turn into something good, but he's not there yet. I think getting an extended look while our D corps is a MASH unit isn't the worst thing. I'm pretty pleased with how they have played through 4 games.

 

[vendetta]

Duke just passed Barkov in goals. for all the bashers

 

[scholl]

I always enjoy a good win but it’s always extra sweet to beat Toronto.

Yes exactly. Panthers is becoming one of the favorite teams of the Maple Leafs fans.

Good for Duclair, I hope he does well since he's entertaining to watch when he's on.

But what's the point of the comparison in the first place and why bring it up as if it has any meaning? We are 4 games in.. and even in this 4 game sample size, Barkov is a PPG while Duke has 1 point.

If anything the comparison should be Duclair and ERod.

Direct replacements lol

 

[WaitingForThatCab]

Barkov is shooting more, that's good. Maurice needs to keep encouraging that.

 

[austropanther]

Bob and Stenlund players of the game. I love how our Finns and Swedes sacrifice their bodies to defend - btw the last shot got blocked by Luostarinen with his skate, his back facing the shooter Klingberg, contrary to what all the journalists were saying.

Special shoutout to Balinskis: the guy really has bal(l)s. Not afraid to make a creative play and take a hit to make a play work. He is adapting fast and could be our new Mahura with actually more skill.

Is Lundell still hurt? He works hard on the boards, but he looks slow. Let the kid fully heal when Benny gets back - MT misses Benny a lot, the 2nd line will get a huge boost at his return. Luostarinen belongs with Lundell
