Matthews’ future kids died for this
Couldn’t even respond to a 7-2 loss with a 7-2 win of their own. Pathetic.
Morgan Rielly (TOR) on waivers
Great bounce back game.
Matthews was a man on a mission tonight! His ability to steal pucks with a quick stick lift is so satisfying to watch and he’s gotta be the best in the league at it.
Nice to see Murray have another strong game and this time have the stats to show for it. Was just an inch or two away from only allowing a single goal on 35+ shots.
Pray for Auston’s nuts
Tampa lost 7-2 and the leafs won 6-2.
I don’t feel so bad about Tuesday anymore haha
Leafs played well but I really don’t understand how this Panthers team won the President’s Trophy last year.
Solid slump busting performance. Nylander, Bunting, JT and even Kerfoot all doing their part tonight, Matthews looking like his old self and Murray with another solid outing while allowing less than 4 goals finally.
I live down here and see the cats often. This is a big win. They’ve been red hot and desperate for playoffs. Besides that 5 minute cycle shift in the second before cousins backhand the boys rly contained that offense. Go leafs go.
Congrats on the Staal brothers for drawing all of the attention to themselves to show they won’t support people who are born different than them, all the while playing like complete dogshit. Great input, I’m sure your organization loves your contributions. Marc on the ice for 50% of the goals tonight by the way.
Absolutely fantastic rebound from whatever that was in Long Island the other night. Tampa loss to top it all off.
Prepare yourselves for the Rielly doomers boys.
Big night for a lot of people.
Murray has a huge win, kerfoot finally finds the back of the net and AM34 only 7 away from 40.
Matthews is a man
I’m definitely more scared of Boston this year than I was of Florida last year
Thank god it was his nuts and not his wrist
Five point cushion over TB
Great effort and seriously awful officiating
We got a 5-3! Austin Matthews is free!
Austons balls get 3rd star tonight
Man Reilly was invisible out there tonight
Murray had a fantastic game. Deserved the win the way he’s played the past couple games.
TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS 6
FLORIDA KITTENS 2
Murray is making a case to be the starting goalie. He is so big and technically sound. If he can stay healthy and gain the trust of the team I think the net is his
Didnt watch the game but seeing these comments the game must’ve been NUTS?
Rocket Tavar passes Maurice Richard in all time scoring.
I almost barfed when it looked like Matthews wrist/hand was hurt….. and then saw it was his balls and i guess he probably almost barfed 😆
I wonder if the leafs are close to clinching a playoff berth after tonight’s game
Wow. Did not see this Marc and Eric Staal thing until now. This shit is happening weekly now?
We win. Tampa loses. Habs lose. Great night all around!
Ontario 13 – Florida 4
How bout JT the playmaker tonight eh? 3 assists 🔥
“Always two there are. No more, no less”
– Auston Matthews
I still call bull shit on the “conclusive” goal they called. Like you’re telling me, through the mesh of Murray’s Glove, from that weird overhead angle that always distorts the view, you could see the FULL puck + white space between the puck and the goal line?
Kinda unsettled with how little we missed Mo
I’m going to be that guy and point out how much better our team defense looks when Rielly is not a part of it.
Anyone else go into full- blown PANIC mode when Matthews hurt his nuts, and thought it was his wrist? I seriously stopped breathing for a minute.
