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!).
Sudbury Thursday night baby
GG boys
Men vs. the boys tonight. Expected much more from a desperate Capitals team.
At this rate Hyman is gonna catch up!
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
McMann now has more 5v5 goals this season than Ovechkin
Connor “I Barely Knew Her” Dewar is a Maple Leaf
Great response from the boys tonight. Bertuzzi was on fire. Hoping Matty hits 60 next game!
Great bounce back win by the boys tonight. Auston with 10 shots and no goal was the only drawback. 60 in Buffalo!
Leafs: win comfortably
Super_Gur957: “Hmph, Leafs are frauds, can only win games by playing well”
Pretty complete game by the buds tonight, love to see them keeping the foot on the gas for a full 60
Incredible performance. A full 60 minute effort. See you on Saturday!
So nice to see a complete effort start to finish!
So when are the leafs going to finally see that they don’t need Reilly?
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
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.
GG.
Matthews 60 against the Sabres? In Buffalo? I’ll allow it
Was there, fantastic, clean, win
Leafs win, Panthers lose. Solid night of work boys.
Bobby McMann is the man. So glad he’s on the Leafs, he’s just getting started.
Great response from Tuesday. Gio for the belt 💙
Welcome back Gio
The Leafs winning this game in decisive fashion with half their top players sick or injured is the Leafsiest shit ever lol
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
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.
Butthurt that I had to work and missed watching tonight. One of those calm, consistent efforts that you want to see from your team.
Nice to see Woll not cost them yet another game.
I think once the team reaches about 96 points, they should just switch gears and activate “Operation Feed Papi”.
Bertuzzi with a Matt Trick
Leafs and jays win on the same day. A&W already sweating bullets
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
It’s interesting how Woll is suddenly not the “worst goalie ever” when the Leafs decide to play solid D in front of him.
Should have been a close game against a hungry opponent. It wasn’t. Good game top to bottom.
Every forward was a +1. 4/6 D were +1. I find that hilarious.
Matthews may never score again. Back to back games where he was robbed blind
Was at the game tonight, safe easy win. Go Buds.
Common Conor Timmins Masterclass
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
Leafs win. Padres win. I’m very happy.
