These post game threads make me laugh. 5 hours after a win, 7 pages...5 hours after a loss, 20 pages. At least it makes catching up with games you missed watching easier to digest.
Good win.
It upsets me that people are ragging on Marleau. He's giving us exactly what we expected.
What?
he is an offense machine. Really believe we have Patrick Kane 2.0. With better D, as Patty has pointed out.Marner is a pass machine.
He has been turning over the puck more often. See how often his name shows up in this game summary for example:
Recap: Leafs dig out a win against the surprising Red Wings
Still waiting for Plekanec to show up, the guy is effing useless. Somebody takes a dumb penalty? Probably Plekanec. Somebody a step behind on a play? Probably Plekanec. Somebody just put a golden scoring opportunity into the goalie's chest protector? Probably Morgan Reilly, but if it wasn't him it was Plekanec. At a certain point you'd like players to contribute something of worth, still waiting on this guy.
I thought that was his best game so far, not that it's saying much, but he's slowly settling in to his role.I actually think he is getting better every game, and he was really good yesterday. Excellent in the PK and starting to develop some chemistry with Kaps and Johnsson. That cross ice pass to Rielly just before Johnsson's great opportunity showed he wasn't always a 4th liner.

I think if people are expecting him to bring another scoring role they're going to be disappointed. This guy was not brought in for that.I thought that was his best game so far, not that it's saying much, but he's slowly settling in to his role.
I thought for sure there would be an injury in this game, did the leafs let the equipment COOP student sharpen the skates last night? Take your kid to work day for Zamboni drivers? It was indeed Brutal. In the end we got the win, and defended a lead with 7 minutes left. All good.a win is a win is a win
interesting game
BRUTAL ICE JUST BRUTAL!!!!!
the Leafs played like 7-8 minutes
a beauty from the Marleau-Kadri duo also amazing skills with Nylander-Matthews
happy for Kapanen and Brown, great game for the 4th line

Usually when the Leafs lose I tend not to come on here a lot when that happens. If I ever have in the past it was make one comment and that's it, of course if they lost on a controversial call that's a different story.An interesting experience, is to actually miss a game that the Leafs lose, and then come to the PGT and look at how the sky is falling and "this team can never win in the playoffs" and how worked up people get over one game.
No, you're just getting all emo over a loss. It's still the same team they were yesterday, and they'll still be that tomorrow.
It's a play like that they have been missing with Matthews out of the lineup.Its Crazy how 4 Detroit players flocked to Matthews after the Nylander pass!
Leaving Nylander with enough time and space to make Neil Degrasse Tyson have a woody
Go leafs!! 4th line is many other teams 2nd line...
Baby got DEPTH
Leafs just have to get through these last few potentially meaningless outcome games injury free and settling in for a long playoff run.
I bet Leafs management wished they could fast forward past these last games and prepare for the real season.
it's definitely a punishment to make him sit and watch Komarov play in his spot
