Post-Game Talk: Leafs win 2-1

[seventieslord]

If I ever get boner problems, I will think about that pass by Knies to set up Willie on the breakaway

That's how I've always viewed Boyle-to-Kapanen

 

[Bomber0104]

I also hated when the lines Matthews isn’t on kept trying to pass the puck to the bench

You probably also loved losing five years in the playoffs with Dubas if we're being honest here.

Yep, post history definitely checks out on that!

You're the guy who spent three months endlessly going off on here about Ryan Reaves as if he kicked your dog?

Oh i definitely remember LOL

You must have a lot of time of your hands and zero life.

Oh and beyond that of course zero hockey knowledge.

Ryan Reaves is your daddy, always remember that.

God I love cashing in receipts on know-nothings

The broken and crippled body of Joseph Woll in net is better than the broken and crippled mind of Samsonov the choker.

I think Woll is like one of those relief pitchers in baseball. Good for short bursts. But can't handle the long grind of a full season.

Perfect for a playoffs run.

If he stays healthy he could even steal them a series or two. So typical the Leafs are paying over half their cap on four scoring forwards. But it's the rookie bsckup goaltender earning league minimum who's winning them the 2-1 games these playoffs.

If there is any greater indictment with the team's roster construction I can't think of it.

Of course the Leafs will point to this as a sign of success. If just any old league minimum goalie can get hot at the right moment then why bother investing in that position at all. Just throw whatever goalie isn't hurt or having a mental health tragedy at the time out there, cross your fingers, and hope like hell he doesn't screw it up.

Just like us fans do.

Nylander is the man .

Imagine Mitch scoring twice in 2-1 game 6. We wouldn't be able to afford him !

 

[Punch Drunk Loov]

Really encouraging game from many players. I started listing them and it was too many guys so I'll give a shout out to Lyubushkin whose been real good.

 

[Isaac Nootin]

Put 100$ on bruins winning game 7
If u win donate that money to charity
If u lose it’s on to round 2

I thought you were done watching this team as of Saturday?

Glad to see you back so quickly, lol.

 

[TGB]

So the secret to winning playoff games against a tough opponent is to NOT play an emotionally fragile goalie.

Who knew?

 

[Hoglund4MvP]

Still anxiety attack every time Lil has puck. Nothing encouraging all series. Everyone else on team has had nice moments at least once even dewar and Reaves. Maybe not brodie but he hasn't played enough to have chance to do good.

He finally tried an end to end rush and soon as he enter zone he gives it away at the blue line with bad stick handling. We got lucky Bruins were at end of their shift which is more sad for Lil though because how do you lose it so bad to tired players. I hope we never see Lil in a Leafs playoffs again unless we're facing him for easy zone entry

They'll need Reaves to set the tone again. A lot more Bruins were taking liberties tonight with him out of the lineup.

Against Florida the tone he sets will be outweighed by the defensive breakdowns he creates. The room for error against Florida will be smaller as, unlike Boston, they actually have offensive weapons.

 

[Racer88]

After a slow start to the game Willy made the best of his chances. We even watched him throw a punishing body check but how about out straight up stud Matthew Knies.

 

[Shooter2x]

Game was over once they let one of their scrubs post up nba style 1 on 1 with Nylander at the line. Dude not only opened up their tight checking but he moved the Boston dmen around that lead to them becoming the necessary tip.

 

[Macman]

McCabe was an absolute beast.

 

[RobBrown4PM]

Not enough love is being given to Bert and Domi for grinding the ever living shit out of the B's D, especially in and around the net.

 

[Darcy Tucker]

I check the scores

Haters gonna hate.

Rielly may not be spectacular playoff Rielly this series but he had 2 assists last night and is leading a d core that has allowed 1 real goal in 2 elimination games. He is clearly playing with an injury he used to be a fantastic skater but he's still getting it done.

 

[Jojalu]

They have been worth every penny.

I would say most posters were waiting to see this before they made their minds up.

I can recall a lot of posts, especially about Bert while he struggled that final judgement would be made in playoffs.

If the Leafs lose, it won't be on them

 

[GoonieFace]

I'm losing a lot of money!

In your line of work, you will just make more

 

[MCR74]

The coping on the playoff forum has begun, with Sens and Habs losers throwing in their worthless two cents. I hope the boys close this out in style on Saturday, just for the HF servers to malfunction.

 

[Gary Nylund]

We just played two of the best playoff games ever with this core. Hard to believe this is the same bunch of turkeys who couldn't be bothered to show up for game 4. I really, really hope they show up to play tomorrow night, as a long suffering Leaf fan I'm pretty damn sure I deserve their best effort more often than we've been getting it.

There's a game tomorrow night boys, be ready to play. GLG!!

Q: What kind of Habs fan cheers for the f***ing Bruins?
A: a shitty one.

Sena fans I expect it because they just got done throwing drinks everywhere and it's salty up there

 

[BraveCanadian]

Nylander hit Wotherspoon pretty good tonight too

Yeah that was very out of character and therefore noticeable.

McCabe has been arguably our best player this series.

He’s been a rock

 

[The Podium]

Probably the most underrated post of this thread.

Matthews is gone and all of a sudden every line is defensively focused and playing offence in the appropriate times, not zeroing every play around getting the puck to one player.

The Leafs probably still win these games with Matthews in the lineup. Suggesting his absence is the reason for the change of play rather than a goalie change or facing elimination is beyond comical.

“You know why they won, because their best defensive and offensive forward is not in the lineup”

These opinions are so predictable. Matthews had lead the team in scoring in all but the 2 playoff series he was known to be injured (2018 Boston and Montreal). In every 1st round series that Matthews has played, they have pushed it to the final game.

Even in this series, he single handily won them game 2.
