Post-Game Talk: [x-Toronto Maple Leafs] Win 4-1

[Captain14]

Great team win. I thought Dermott had a nice game, but for the love of God, Thornton cannot get PP minutes, unless he is just going plant himself in the goal crease and not move.

 

[Le Cobra]

Against the Habs no less...

dont forget that Spezza tied Rocket Richard

 

[Le Cobra]

No doubt , but my point was that , the playoffs is where they will be most valuable as a compliment to our young elites ...

right. as much as Thornton has not been consistent this season, he seems to be waking up right in time for the playoffs. Almost as if he is saving all his energy for the playoffs. Spezza is playing spectacularly well, and has been consistently good

 

[Teeder Keon]

dont forget that Spezza tied Rocket Richard

But he will never catch

[Le Cobra]

you mean the 1-3 price who gave up 15 goals in the 4 games we played them this year?

Playoff Price is a different story. Most elite goaltenders switch on at will come playoffs. Think Rask, Brodeur, Belfour, Roy, Hasek, Fleury etc. I am hoping Campbell can do the same

 

[Teeder Keon]

Cough cough !

 

[Gabriel426]

Missed the game due to work. Did the boys played a solid 60mins? Did they played with grit and urgency or did they just win due to talents? Thanks

I'd like to see Keefe give some of the boys a rest tomorrow. Sub in Liljegren for Holl, Engvall for Thornton, Robertson for Galchenyuk, Rittich for Campbell, those sorts of moves. It's our last B2B game and I don't want to see anyone hurt in a meaningless game, give the others a chance to dangle their feet and provide some incentive for everyone to feel a part of the team. The rest of the season sees us with one 3 day break (May 4 and 7) and one 4 day break (May 9 and 13). We finish on the 15th. I'd like to see us win as many of our last 7 as possible, but I'd rather see the team rested, healthy, and an 'all hands on board/all for one, one for all' mentality bouncing through the dressing room. I'm curious to see if and how Keefe tries to slide in Andersen and Nash.

 

[Le Cobra]

Right on the mark

you too buds

 

[BudForLife]

I hope BudForLife never watches another Shabs Leaf game ever again

Heyyy not me man...@TopCheddar is the guy we don't want watching

 

[Marshy]

I laughed way too hard at this.

 

[Havoc]

how or why in the wide world of sports did SN award Willie the 3rd star?????

did they not see the same game, Spetz, Brooksie, Sandin, Campbell all played far more significant roles in tonights win

10-1-2 when he scores. That star is acknowledging how huge a 1-0 lead from Bill is. Pretty much seals the game.

[TopChedder]

Ok thanks bud. But you have to wait until we eliminate them to watch the taped games

100% LOL

 

[Teeder Keon]

Can you get one of those emojis for toking ?

Brooks looks like a very competent option on the 4th line, had a couple good tag plays with Spezza even before the goal

Tavares is finding his game at the right time, thank god. Could've had a couple tonight.

That touch pass by Marner on the opening goal was brilliant, I take him for granted sometimes. That's a hard play to make.

I like the loaded PP with Nylander on the first unit. He's not really a bumper but he's a Swiss army knife in the offensive zone and smart around the net.

Digging Foligno. Had a couple good clears and a nice head's up and well executed pass to Matthews for the breakaway look.

Goal by Suzuki was a beauty. I'm glad we won so I can appreciate it. Two posts in and out is one of the prettiest scoring plays in the sport.

Cole Caulfield looks greener than grass.

 

[Menzinger]

Clinching against the Habs makes it even better

Correct me if I'm wrong, but can we even afford to make those changes because of the cap?

 

[SoCal Leafs]

Good times! Didn't get to watch the game live but from what I heard this was a solid team effort. Wins against the Habs are oh so sweet.

 

[meefer]

That's a good question, and one I hadn't considered. I've no idea, was just offering what I would like to see them do. It may well be undoable. Good catch.

Leafs have the best road record this year 17-6-2
