No need for an SOS, cuz we’ve got an ROR!
I’m going to choose to believe that the Leafs let the Sabres back into the game just so O’Reilly could get the hatty on the empty net.
ROR.
The Leafs, win or lose, are playing too many “burn the tape” games of late, for my liking. Really happy to see ROR work hard for that hat trick, he deserved it. On to the next one.
that 2nd line holding a monopoly on the three stars… that’s a beauty
I’m not gay but I want to live in a log cabin in the woods with Ryan O’Reilly. We won’t ever have sex, but there will be a simmering erotic undercurrent as I stand in the kitchen window watching him tighten his ass as he chops wood, shirtless, sweat pouring off his body. I’ll run upstairs and masturbate, the entire time forcing myself to think of women while my thoughts drift back to Ryan. I won’t be able to climax and I’ll eventually go back downstairs, angry. Sometimes we will look across the table and catch each other’s eyes, and in that second, anything is possible, but we both deny ourselves and go back to what we were doing. One day one of us will die, and the other will bury him outside the log cabin. Then he’ll go inside, pen a brief missive to his departed friend, and commit suicide, never able to deal with life without his one true platonic love.
Happy for O’Reilly
Need a defense upgrade for Holl/Timmins.
Goaltending also concerning for the playoffs
AT THE MOMENT, I really like this 2nd line.
Also, Marner with 5 assists!!!!!
Ontario Line 13 points tonight. Unbelievable effort by them
Ontario line hard carried 🔥🔥
I’m here for Joe Bowen’s call.
Holl, Rielly, and Timmins were *catastrophic* in the third.
I LOVE WHEN WE SCORE MANY GOALS
Never play the Rielly and Holl pairing again. Idk why Keefe keeps going with this pairing; literally the worst GAx60 pairing on our D…
ROR has that bump on his back because he’s got that dawg in him
5 🍎🍏🍎🍏🍎 for magic mitchy marns
That Buffalo fan giving O’Reilly the finger looking genuinely mad after the hatty was fucking PRICELESS.
My immediate thoughts right now.
We’re going to play games where we go up and the other team responds.
Its natural to see the Leafs face pressure and see another team get close to equalizing the score. I’m not happy about tonight’s game, we don’t need to get to this point where we need to give the team a chance but I get that it happens. Would have liked to see more responsible hockey, low event, boring hockey at the end of this game.
Also, we need to talk about Sammy. He hasn’t looked good the last two especially w/o Murray’s groin basically held together by the LTIR. Teams have elite goaltending in the playoffs and I think Sammy will have to really pull it together. He’s shown flashes of brilliance against teams. Just needs to channel it again.
That second line absolutely fucks.
Fun fact: O’Reilly now has as many regular season points as Foligno does as a Leaf.
O’Reilly has been a Leaf for 4 daya
Despite the W, I still had issues with how they played in the 3rd. Sammy letting stinkers in and certain defenseman making bad mistakes.
Those fans were better than the ones in our own barn.
Bad third period but fuck it.
We’re winning the cup and all the doomers can suck the fattest part of my ass.
Holy fuck that second line
If sammy is still sick why are we so hesitant to just play Woll?
1.0 GPG avg for Ryan O’Reilly.
Book it.
Leafs have now scored 200 goals against opponents in 58 games; good for 3.44 avg goals per game
Lol Mitch admitted tickets at SBA are overpriced
