Nice indeed.

 

[DarkKnight]

Nylander taking a defensive draw to save the game was a good moment.

 

[leaffaninvancouver]

I missed having Matthews, what a player.

 

[6ix]

What a game by Matthews, looked like he didn’t miss a beat.

 

[LeafSadist]

Feels good man, happy Festivus everyone.

 

[Crosscrease14]

So good to see Matthews and Nylander back together lighting it up

 

[BertCorbeau]

Pretty solid win. Could have capitalized on their handed in the third but they didn’t sit back and gave the Rangers few chances or cycle shifts

 

[kyle n00bas]

Hit em with the last-minute shot blocks like Auston Matthews

 

[Chandrashekhar Limit]

Good:
AM 34
Nylander
Marner
JVR
Rielly

Bad:
Gardiner
Andersen
3rd Period
No finish on breakaways

 

[Keon1963]

26 minutes for Rielly. (and Gardner)

 

[htpwn]

The Leafs made that far more difficult than it should have been. This could've and probably should've been a blowout.

 

[SprDaVE]

One of our better games lately. Lundqvist had a massive 3rd period to give the Rangers a chance.

 

[ULF_55]

Matthews and Nylander won this game.

Not sure if the Kadri line is the 2nd. line but they are not really doing much right now.

Carrick - Gardiner pairing has to be upgraded ... 2 of the defender who struggle the most between the ears.

 

[weems]

Matthews was awesome.

Gardiner is becoming a bigtime problem.

Good overall effort and we could have easily scored like 10 goals in this game.

 

[MapleLeafs9]

It's amazing when I watch Matthews and feel disappointed he *only* had 2 points. Could have easily had 4-5 points tonight.

 

[IPS]

This is honestly a new low for Gardiner. I honestly don't think he's ever looked this bad before.

 

[ECanuck]

Saturday night. Jim Hughson calling the game and we win with Austin back. That's a triple win right there!

 

[MJ65]

Not perfect but a hard fought and well deserved win - no matter how you get it a "W" is a "W"

 

[Warden of the North]

That easily could have been a blow out for us. Rangers had a horseshoe tonight

 

[IBeL34f]

Not the cleanest win, but I'll take it. Damn nice to have Matthews back, he looked sharp in both ends.

 

[danron1376]

mathews will win the mvp at least once in his career

 

[DarkKnight]

They did it Naylor!!

 

[Mitchy]

Big 3 were terrific today.

Matthews is a beauty.
