These guys always love to focus on the negatives just like Kyper. And not blaming the fans? Duh u were.
You guys are so right! There should be way less season tickets sold
And being a Leafs fan, i want the focus to be on the win. In fact, a big win. I thought before the game that Pans were going to win but nope a great win. Enough guys.
they get shut out in the 3rd way too often now. They’re finally moving further and further away from the god-awful Dubas era and hitting more, but they’re still doing leafs things melting down in the 3rd period
Big win, but wow.. that 3rd period…Overall, Leafs stood toe to toe with a now hated rival, and totally dominated them for 40 minutes. Mentally, this was a huge win for the players who were here for that series almost a year ago. Now they need to focus on Tampa, build off this momentum, keep it going…
JD is bang on!
Good team win. I'm sure they're trying some things with the starters out of the lineup. Sammy outplayed Bob and we got a victory in a nothing game. The best point made is we're not gonna be intimidated this year. This is a different team. More physical. LFG!
'Big Save Sammy' tm
Congratulations to rookie Matthew Knies for scoring his 2nd career Game-Winning goal tonight… oh, and also ALMOST getting his 2nd career Gordie Howe Hat-Trick (if only Mikkola had taken the bait and gotten into a fight, with him- that Knies was clearly after, by dropping his gloves, on his 'roughing' penalty) !!! 😇
phew ! we got lucky to get that win !
Keef was testing the bottom 6 with putting them in tuff spots
Man I’d love to see Marner-Tavares-Nylander
We’d be there if we could! We will continue to watch from the rafters and under the bleachers. Thanks for the shout out guys!
I think the priority should be resting these guys…esp Matthews. I would agree playing there best players at the end of season might be a mistake. Pantheres are a dirty team and yeah it would not surprise me if they target another guy right before the playoffs. They played dirty against the bruins and also got away with it. No way panthers are as good as there record shows. Esp last season. There beatable. That said I thought the pick up off Bertuzzi and Domi in off season was smart. I can see them being clutch come playoffs. I would still consider Robertson too for the playoffs. Tough decisions for coaching I think.
Sorry guys. I skip the intro everytime. Hate it! But that’s me lol
Sammy was the only reason they were in it bird boy
I don't care that there's only 8 games left. Sheldon Keefe is a LOUSY, LOUSY coach. Fire him NOW. Maybe that will wake up this team. They are going to get DESTROYED in the first round of the playoffs.
Reeves is in my game one line up, he is going to be needed for that fore check and punishing the Defense of the other team.
66 goals would be good enough
Imagine being 6'5" and getting punked by Marchy and Knies in the same week LMAO
When us every one back? Edmondson? Marner? Jarnkrok? Lily? Morgan?
When the puck drops in 3 weeks the Panthers blow the Leafs off the ice. Keep kidding yourself that the Lesfs will physically crush them. Dillusianal
This is the time of the year when listening to these guys and Kyper and Borne make me so excited about another 1st round exit.
I prefer a 1 round non momentum Panthers
If the panthers did the same thing no one would care
Was anyone confident in bob last year
Noooo
Sorry, but for the team to go deep in the playoffs, their identity has to move towards toughness and resiliency, secondary scoring in the playoffs. That being said having Matthews hot is not a bad thing. But I’m sure he would trade 70 for a deep playoff run, cup. In a heartbeat.
Having Domi and Bertuzzi w Matthews , protects Matthews. During playoffs the goons will purposely try and injur Matthews. That line needs to stay together. Make Mitch a centre and whom ever he centre will instantly become better players. Gotta 💯 try something different this time or u going to get same results.
Question is… will the 3rd period mess with Sammy's head?
This is rare for me, because I find myself agreeing with JD a lot, but his take on the importance of Matthews hitting 70G is fallacious, in my opinion. 'If' it's true that the team plays best when Matthews is buzzing and scoring goals, isn't it also too risky to shoot for scoring 70 goals and risking a Matthews injury? Matthews has done enough, he has had injury problems, and it isn't unreasonable to have a suspicion or fear at the very least that another player from a rival team like BOS or FLA will go after him. And if THAT happens, and Matthews tweaks just a muscle, that will impact his confidence, his physical prowess and goal-scoring touch tremendously. If we're basing this off of JD's perspective that the team plays best when Matthews is feeling it, how would a series look if Matthews wasn't 100%?? I don't like it. We absolutely need AM at 100% if we're going to do anything in the playoffs (again, imho), and therefore it's an unnecessary risk to play until game 82, shooting for 70 goals. Love the podcast, love Leafs Talk. Best Leafs show out there, right with Kyper and Bourne. Hit the thumbs-up people!!
I’d love to turn on Leafs Talk after a big win and not have the first 5 minutes be negative. We need a show that actually cheers on the team.
