    Who is doing the commentary? I love those guys

    We also played Boston on March 8th physically.

    Why did it work for Edmonton and not Boston?

    I haven’t had a chance to watch any games in a bit and have only caught highlights. The Edmundson trade was getting a fair amount of hate on this sub at the time but he seems to be a great fit from what I’ve seen. Has been a beast like last night since he got here?

    Bouchard is extremely talented but he looked soft and meek in the corners last night.

  5. Drai had a tough one, guy was getting bodied all night

    This is the kind of physicality and hurt I’ve been begging the team to build up for YEARS. This kind of physicality over a seven game series is what will win series.

    I am fucking AMPED.

  7. That was one of the most enjoyable games I’ve seen in ages. Absolutely dominated both physically and with skill. Man Edmundson is a bastard to play against, I hated him against us but am absolutely stoked he’s with us now. 

  8. I can’t say this enough. But Domi has exceeded my expectations by another level.

    He is a fucking beaut and a stud.

    Man Bowen is such a beauty. So much energy and passion. Love the Domi fight. “OHHH HE HIT HIM RIGHT IN THE BUTTON”.

    I miss them so much. Sportsnet broadcasts are so dry.

    Seriously, can we get some kind of a change.org petition or something to get Bowen and Ralphy back on the play by play? It’s a crime that they’re not on the broadcast.

  11. Who are these announcers? 😂 they’re fucking amazing

  12. PhilsbandyDoughboy

    Bowen absolutely kills me on the Benoit hit 🤣 “WELCOME TO THE MILK TRUCK”

  13. LCKLCKLCK

    “Welcome to the MILK truck!” Someone get Bowen on TV please

    Its sad we have commentators this good but we don’t get them for tv feeds. SMH

    The Leafs were tough my whole life until the latest iteration. I’ve missed this kind of stuff.

  16. DarkAgeMonks

    Missed the one where dewar drilled hyman by the benches.

    There were so many little plays that the leafs overpowered Edmonton physically that weren’t necessarily big hits and won’t show up on a highlight reel like this but we’re a huge reason for the win.

    That first goal, Tavares put his body on the line to cram in along the boards, get body position and make a no look pass out front to McMann.

    The Holmberg from Domi and Matthews goal followed a similar enough script with Matthews leveraging his size to retrieve a puck in the corner and then create a bit of separation to hit Domi with a nice pass.

    The boys knew this was a big matchup that a lot of eyes would be on and they didn’t fail to bring the playoff style intensity. Love it.

  18. Last have really transformed themselves into a much more physical team without compromising on their on ice play. You love to see it!

    “Welcome to the milk truck!”

    – Joe Bowen what a beauty!

  20. dickens-seider

    We did it.

    We are finally hard to play against.
