Post-Game Talk: Papi Ft. Marner & Leafs win 4-1

[Optimist]

You're a mean one, Mr Matthews. You're a bad banana with a greasy black peel.

 

[blue stick]

Solid win, no grievances to be filed

 

[Leaf Rocket]

Is everyone happy

 

[notbias]

I don't feel like they had many high danger chances or odd man rushes. Good game and you could tell the boys had that little extra hustle in them tonight.

I think they looked better as the game went on, but they gave up a lot of chances.

 

[CelticDruid]

Merry Xmas and a happy New Year to all my fellow Leaf supporters.

CHEERS TO ALL!

 

[DarkKnight]

Merry Christmas bitches.

I thought the Leafs would get coal in their stockings after the Buffalo game, but this moves them squarely to almost being on the nice list

I'll take the win but we still have a long way to go to play solid all around. We still had our heads up the ass, at least in the first period IMO.

Big bounce back fueled by the big guns, Matthews, Nylander, Tavares and Marner, Jones stood tall. Can't ask for a better Leaf Christmas than that!

They gave up one high danger chance in the final two periods and not a single one in the third.

Scoring chances in the final two periods were Leafs 12 vs CLB 7.

And 6 in the first... so exactly what I said, they looked better as the game went on and they gave up a lot of chances...

I am happy they won, just didn't think it was their best game

Benoit 5 hits 17:24 ice time and plus/minus 0

He should never come out of the lineup. Perfect as a 5/6

Benoit is the perfect example of why I think Peeke would be a smart buy low option.

Benoit was lost on a crappy Anaheim team but he’s been outstanding here. I think Peeke would do very well here with a change in scenery.

Steelers play good and win.
Leafs play good and win.

Thanks Santa!!!!

Merry Christmas to you all.

'Connor move your car!', 'Move it yourself, I'm in Chicago making sure you, your kids and their kids never have to work a day in their lives, stop bothering me with this bullshit.'

The old women sledding brought to you by Amazon - THAT is how you do a commercial, it's heartwarming and touching.

As a professional ad writer here's my critque: Why is she so surprised he's in Chicago? Where did she think he'd be?

As for them old girls, they're now at the bottom of a really big hill with no way back up except walk. Merry Christmas!

 

[DarkKnight]

4 back of Boston with a game in hand.

 

[Kiwi]

Nice to get a win before the Christmas break

Nice solid professional performance from Jones which set a standard
Good play from the defense, nothing spectacular but nothing egregious either which is all I ask
Big boys up front stepped up and made sure the game was put to bed before Columbus could fight there way back into it

Happy Christmas everybody and I hope your new year goes great

 

[Racer88]

Reasonably clean effective game. Nice win.

I forgot the main boards was actually serious when they said Stutzle > Matthews

How has that stupidity went unchecked for that long?

I wouldn't say seven total high danger chances is giving up alot of chances.

I mean we've had games of 19, 18, 16 high danger chances against, so only 7 is pretty good.

20 total scoring chances against also is a pretty tidy number.

 

[Ianturnedbull]

The most elite night of my life.

Solid win, no grievances to be filed

When Elliote Friedman's attire is the most troublesome thing, it's not that bad, really.

12 against in total.

30 scoring chances against.

Just think the game was closer than 4-1. But can't complain about a win, just hoping they start putting together more dominant wins.

Connor Bedard will be driving a Ferrari and maybe a Benz in the winter - he’ll buy Hyundais for his boys on December 24th because he forgot, there’s your wa.
