    We beat a bad team….. I use to pray for times like these

  2. Electronic_Map_1451

    Big boy team performance. Fucking right.

  3. stripseek_teedawt

    INJECT MITCHS “GET FUXKING HYPED” CELLY INTO MY EYES!!!

  4. SpicyP43905

    # FUCK DESTAL

    # AUSTON MATTHEWS IS DESTAL FATHER

  5. MAKE-YOU-HUMBLE

    PSA: Matthews is 171 goals away from 500.

  6. Pyrotechnic_shok

    You can tell Dostal is young because anyone who’s watched even 10 leafs games knows marner is absolutely not shooting that

  7. whippitywhine

    Matthews has the best celly game in the NHL

  8. I know it’s just Anaheim but impressive we put up that many shots on the second game of a back to back of late games

  9. SpergSkipper

    Have to give props to Dostal insane game from him

  10. TheLoomingMoon

    Were the leafs shooting from low danger areas with no traffic or did the motherfucker summon the souls of every HoF goalie that ever was and ever will be?

  11. eagleboy444

    Matthews would be a shit poker player. And I’m here for it. When he is *that* pumped for a goal, you know that shit feels like the first day of December after NNN for him.

    He does not react like that often, so when he does, you feel the emotion with him. I’m in love. 😍

  12. It didn’t have to be that hard, but LET’S GOOOOOOOO AUSTON MATTHEWS 30TH GOAL OVERTIME WINNER

  13. AdamAAndrews

    So glad they got rewarded for playing such a great solid game. Especially Matthews with the shots

  14. Prestigious_Union_50

    Impressive team resiliency. Definitely “goalied” tonight and still overcame it. Way to go.

  15. therealgoat1212

    ![gif](giphy|ZvUT66a9eEgnnOWfex|downsized)

    I love this guy so much

  16. Nappalicious

    Matthews and Marner were unreal tonight despite being shutdown for *most* of the night

  17. asheeponreddit

    What an insane game from the Buds. 2024 shaping up to be a blast.

    Great battle. Thought for sure we were getting blanked as soon as the broadcast said the young goalie I’d never heard of with a career 0.850 SV% was 1-8 in his last 9.

  18. Tip of the cap to Dostal, glad we won but that was an incredible *incredible* performance

  19. We were clearly the better team.

    On another night Anaheim would have been utterly trounced.

    Papi 30! And thank you JT!!!

  20. 3X-Leveraged

    2-0 since we sent Sammy into the dust. I mean 2-0 in 2024…

  21. Talos_the_Cat

    Auston Matthews is a Genius. He’s absolute. He’s the saviour of this planet. He is what this generation needed. He’s my lord and saviour, my idol. He’s a demigod. An angel brought to Earth to bless us all. Auston Matthews is truly a magic worker I mean, look at this truly magnificent player he has become. Its mind-blowing. A brand new wave. A brand new vibe. Auston Matthews is not only a hockey player, but an artist. He’s truly passionate about his sport. He was destined to bless our eyes. Watching Auston Matthews isn’t enough, I need him to be beside me. Auston Matthews is truly amazing. Thank you God, for bringing us Auston Matthews. If you ever feel sad, or maybe, down, just remember the world is 4.543 billion years old and you somehow managed to exist at the same time as Auston Matthews. Young talent Auston Matthews. My King, My solution, my muse, my oxygen, my world, Auston Matthews.

  22. -ApplePineapplePen-

    Loving the calm puck stopping force Jones has turned out to be for this team!

  23. Beauuuuty

    As soon as I saw Zegras go on the ice I knew it was over. Kid is such a bust, needs to learn how to play 200 feet in the AHL.

  24. SpinningDickTwist

    Where the hell did this incredible, physically dominant, defensively responsible, creative, 100% effort for 60 mins, give a fuck about each other team come from?

    Because this team is amazing and the team I have been yearning for since the end of the Sundin era.

    They made me fall in love again. I didn’t think they could this year.

  25. To all the people who had reasonable and deserved criticisms of Matthews and Marner in overtime, suck my motherfucking ass!

  26. LazyAd3074

    Damn, props to Nylander for hustling after that puck which led to us getting possession even after we lost the 2nd FO.

  27. KrugsDukeHut

    You know what props to Jones again for a solid performance making 27 saves and only 1 GA and keeping them in this tight game right up until the end. Rielly, Lily and Benoit also played very well tonight.

  28. Dangerois

    Hildeby just had a front row seat at a clinic on NHL goalieness.

  29. No_Crab1183

    Wow Dostal is a total stud, 23 y/o. What a game from the kid.

    Papis 30th was magnificent.

    LETS GO.

    GLG.

  30. Probably the most lopsided deserve to win o meter I’ve ever seen.

    Like 84% for the Leafs.

    Win in overtime.

    Leafy things.
