    REALLY clean and tidy response game after being called out by the coach on Tuesday. I think my swearing/60 tonight was the lowest of all season!!

    Only thing that would have made it perfect would have been a Matthews goal (but geez, 10 shots!).

  2. AdrianVeidt9

    Men vs. the boys tonight. Expected much more from a desperate Capitals team.

  3. heat_fan_

    They needed a game like this after the last 2 games

    Leafs and Jays both win today it’s a good day

    Tyler Bertuzzi has been great for us 

    Why do the Leafs play way better when Reilly is not playing lol

  4. DrinkMoreBrews

    McMann now has more 5v5 goals this season than Ovechkin

  5. AceBombkick

    Connor “I Barely Knew Her” Dewar is a Maple Leaf

  6. hymensmasher99

    Great response from the boys tonight. Bertuzzi was on fire. Hoping Matty hits 60 next game!

  7. nownowthethetalktalk

    Great bounce back win by the boys tonight. Auston with 10 shots and no goal was the only drawback. 60 in Buffalo!

  8. JinKazamasWaterboy

    Leafs: win comfortably

    Super_Gur957: “Hmph, Leafs are frauds, can only win games by playing well”

  9. Pretty complete game by the buds tonight, love to see them keeping the foot on the gas for a full 60

  10. taco_the_town

    Incredible performance. A full 60 minute effort. See you on Saturday!

  11. cynical1311

    So nice to see a complete effort start to finish!

  12. So when are the leafs going to finally see that they don’t need Reilly?

  13. billcosbyinnocence

    Great, complete game. Depth scoring, all 4 lines functional and dominating, 4th line looked great, defence looked good, even Brodie had a great game(rare), and Woll had a great bounce back performance and confidence booster.

    Really good bounce back performance after the hell that was the Devils (pun intended). Give the belt to Dewar for his first goal and had a great game. Hasn’t been here long, but I like him a lot so far.

    Only thing it was missing was 60

  14. Tintinnabulator

    Obviously the defensive effort from the boys tonight was waaayyy better, but that’s more of the expected amount of goals when you put nearly 50 on the net.

  15. dres_sler

    GG.

    Matthews 60 against the Sabres? In Buffalo? I’ll allow it

  16. Leafs win, Panthers lose. Solid night of work boys.

  17. Admirable-Panda-4632

    Bobby McMann is the man. So glad he’s on the Leafs, he’s just getting started.

  18. Showtime98

    Great response from Tuesday. Gio for the belt 💙

  19. The Leafs winning this game in decisive fashion with half their top players sick or injured is the Leafsiest shit ever lol

  20. Ta-veren-

    Good game by the boys let’s light buffalo up!

    Matthews wanted it bad tonight. I wish Burt passed back to a wide open Matty on his second goal but oh well hope he gets 60 with buff

  21. LawrenceMoten21

    Do not want the Caps to get WC2 and likely play the Bruins. They fucking stink, and will get rolled by Boston while Panthers/Leafs will be a war.

  22. MrBalanced

    Butthurt that I had to work and missed watching tonight. One of those calm, consistent efforts that you want to see from your team.

  23. Super_Gur957

    Nice to see Woll not cost them yet another game.

  24. NatureGivesAndTakes

    I think once the team reaches about 96 points, they should just switch gears and activate “Operation Feed Papi”.

  25. freshpurplekiwi

    Leafs and jays win on the same day. A&W already sweating bullets

  26. Dry_Weird_2690

    what a phenomenal game to be at. Would’ve loved to see 60 for Papi but the boys really showed up and played a full 60 minute effort

  27. apatheticboy

    It’s interesting how Woll is suddenly not the “worst goalie ever” when the Leafs decide to play solid D in front of him.

  28. Should have been a close game against a hungry opponent. It wasn’t. Good game top to bottom.

  29. Reggae4Triceratops

    Every forward was a +1. 4/6 D were +1. I find that hilarious.

  30. NacchoTheThird

    Matthews may never score again. Back to back games where he was robbed blind

  31. himthatguythere

    Was at the game tonight, safe easy win. Go Buds.

  32. JeVeuxFinirEcrasee

    For that Bertuzzi’s second goal… I’ve been saying the Leafs never get that easy tap in goal after the Goalie plays the puck, but yeah WTG Bert

  33. WhatAmIDoingHere05

    Leafs win. Padres win. I’m very happy.
