Post-Game Talk: Put another touchdown on the board! .. Wait what sport is this? (Leafs win 7-4)

[LeafChief]

Re-posting a little HF erotica from earlier in the day. Enjoy!

It was a frosty November afternoon. Kyle Dubas - too young and naïve for the position that he currently holds – sits in a rocking chair while sipping a cup of Earl Gray tea. Earl Gray is his favourite.

“What have I done?” says Kyle. “I told them that we can and we will!. Now the HFboards posters are dragging my beloved name through the mud.”

**phone rings**

“Hello?”

“Hello Kyle, it is Gary Bettman”.

Kyle puts his hand to his forehead. He knows this can only mean one thing.

“Kyle, as you know we have been reviewing your handling of the William Nylander contract situation here at the league offices. We find your tactics deplorable and we cannot understand why you are making this so difficult on this young player with incredible flow. Not only are we docking you a 1st round pick for the Joffrey Lupul failed physical fiasco from last training camp, but we are taking William Nylander and awarding him to the New York Islanders”.

Gary hangs up the phone. Kyle sobs in silence for a few minutes. The camera pans to above to the ceiling where silently, The Winter Soldier is hiding above the ceiling tiles dressed as Dwight Schrute, pleasuring himself.

Lots of positives besides the firepower. Zaits looking good. Dermott smart, Oz settling in, his best game for sure. Leivo and the Goat, great work in the third. Textbook Hyman, Kap coming out partner continues. Woohoo.

 

[Atrusai]

D showing progress in parts of the game, offense isn't slowing down, and a big shout out to Brown for reminding me of how my only house league soccer goal got stolen from me by our prick of a forward Curtis!

 

[Havoc]

Hyman still didn't get his assist on Marner's goal.

Babcock post game interview won't be pretty when they break the news to him.

Great third period, they settled down and played clean hockey.

 

[Finnish your Czech]

What's the point of this? Whatever we are today, will be even better with Nylander.

The point of this is that irony is enjoyable to some as a form of humour.

 

[francis246]

The more goals we score and the more we win, the worse it is for Nylander. Idk how you don't look at potentially moving him for a Dman now

 

[MJ65]

So who is this thief?

 

[LeafChief]

@The Winter Soldier

What did this idiot say today? I have him blocked.

 

[Raym11]

Nylander for a solid defenseman is looking more and more appealing as time goes by

3-1-0, 1st in the Atlantic with 6 points, 20 GF, 17 GA.

Questionable defence sure, but at the end of the day a solid start to the season.

 

[Sittler 27]

C'mon Willy be a part of this, looks fun

 

[Melo Meds]

Happy to get the W but need to tighten up the D. Matthews, Marner, Hyman, JT and Kap were great. Fourth line was solid. Felt like the third line was pretty invisible again. Hainsey was pretty bad again and I wasn’t too impressed with Oz again either. Still early in the year so I’ll wait to see if it’s still like this by the end of October.

Willy who?

 

[BertCorbeau]

Only saw the last 23 minutes of the game but my comments:

- Happy to see they got the first goal
- Happy to see improved defensive play in spurts
- Mostly happy to see that they were able to shut it down after regaining the 2 goal lead in the third ... That's a good sign moving forward. Didn't like that it got to that point
- Happy to see Zaitsev rebounding so far this year
- Really liked what I saw from that 4th line in the third. Ennis looks A LOT better against much lesser competition .. And the Goat, as I noticed in the preseason, looks like he has improved his skating enough that he can be a solid 4th line centre.
- Hyman's effort on the 6th goal shouldn't be overlooked
- The top unit PP is the best thing I've ever seen

Need to move away from the idea that they can just outscore opponents every night. You can see glimpses of them tightening down.

 

[Pi]

I refuse to be upset about winning. Only in Toronto do people find reasons to be upset about 7 goal victories

Well done boys!

Back to back seven goal wins, on the road. First time since 1979. Without Nylander.

This team can be even better and will be better as the season progresses. If the Leafs want better D, they just have to play the right guys more often. Simple as that.

I’m loving this.

 

[Ziggdiezan]

The dallas player could have dived and kept that puck out. Happy to see Brown put that in and I bet Rielly was too. The win means everything

 

[Myopic]

Wow, Rielly is playing the best offensive hockey of his career. He's a borderline superstar this year.

I'm really impressed the way Gauthier is played tonight. He's played a heavy game, sound defensively and was great along the walls. The whole 4th line did well.

This is fun to watch. It's unreal that we'll be watching Tavares, Marner, and Matthews for the next decade. This is the best I've seen Austin play as a pro these last 4 games.

Marner was fantastic in all aspects of the game tonight.

Even Gardiner looked good for the most part.

 

[GrizzLeaf]

Leafs are going to ruin a lot of gaa for goalies this year playing like that

Including their own

 

[Mikeyg]

Nylanders leverage is at an all time low after back to back touchdowns.

 

[93gilmour93]

Including their own

Hahahaha

 

[X66]

Just sucks that we would never score a PP goal again by replacing JVR with Tavares and Bozak with Matthews.

 

[LeafShark]

THAT TOUCHDOWN PASS FROM RIELLY TO RECEIVER BROWN WAS ABSOLUTELY REDICULOUS!

Tavares on pace for 123 Goals and 0 Assists
