Costly too many men penalty yet again & the D-zone coverage by the Tavares line has got to be better. Bill Nylander, who I have tremendous respect for in 2 zones, simply needs to be more committed to playing D in his own zone. The 1st one timer goal from Kucherov likely doesn't happen if Bill recognizes the threat & closes the gap to block the shot. Sadly, even in the post-season, unlike Matthews & Marner he doesn't hit or block shots. Very rarely can you just be a 2 zone player. I saw Gretzky live a number of times & he was rarely in his own D-zone, but he was so dangerous, that he usually attracted a shadowing oppostion player while carving figure 8's in the neutral zone waiting for the puck. Because of that, his teamates weren't out-numbered in their own zone. Bill is not quite Gretzky, as good as he is now.
Best game I've seen from Domi (helped by Robertson maybe) & Bert was also better. Interesting how Keefe seemed to recognize that Reaves is a significant defensive liability & I can't recall seeing him on shift from late in the 2nd and on. I honestly liked Kampf & Gregor absent Reaves, so Tree should do a 'Simmonds move' like Dubas did last year. Waive him. No one will claim him, I guarantee it & keep him with the Leafs, but technically he'll be a Marlie. Assuming they have to play some team with a big bad bully, the 'call him up" & insert him into the line-up. Bring Homberg back while Reavo sits out, & send him down if you need to play Reaves. It worked out just fine with Simmonds. No reason they can't do it with Reavo.
Is it just me, or is there nothing better than wiping that smug look off Cooper's face & sticking it to the supremely talented, but dirty rat Kucherov. He twice interfered with Brodie in OT including a 'trailing leg' trip that wasn't called. Pulled the same move on Marner earlier, then gets upset when he's penalized. Amazing what greasy crap he gets away with fairly frequently.
Way way to many individuals plays by the leafs..
Still forwards are still disconnected with their D's…
Not impressed at all…
The Coach should focus on 5 men units, more chemistry…
I bleaf in these lines, Keefee!
Gotta give props to Keefe, great moves in the lineup tonight. His talk post game was really great (compared the the previous losses which really started to take a toll on him), very happy to see him and the team finally get the W.
Sammy ,…Sammy,… Sammy.. You got this. Leaf Nation is behind you!
Awesome game guys so proud of you, excellent team work.; ❤👊 Let's Go!!
please be more consistent w the interviewers questions, my friend and i are literally asking eachother 'what did they ask him'? Yes, I could turn on CC but is that really necessary? ..Maybe..
Saw a glimmer of hope with Domi. Is Bert injured?. I dont think many of us thought that was a bad pick-up.
Mitch talking about positives after the 1st? You have to be joking.
Brads picks sux, they still won. Thank goodness for the rookies including Robinson, Cali had a lucky day, let’s see if it holds. This leaf team wins sometimes even if losing
Like sick win but how the hell can marner say we were happy with our play in the first. It was 4-1 take some ownership you played horrible than bounced back
BRICK WOLL. I said it last year he's our guy. This year, he's definitely our guy.
Still playing like a bunch of fuckn bags, zero defensive coverage, they are playing vs an AHL goalie…been getting outplayed 75% of games. They look worse than last year.
Send Klinberg and domi to the marlies
Matthews is the engine or this team a monster give him the C
I don’t care if Mitch scores 50 goals in one game I’d trade him he disappears will be same shit soon watch trade this clown
Toronto maple Leafs 🇨🇦
Keefe wake up. You better not start Sammy next game. You should have pulled him when we went down 2-1. Keep playing Woll as he’s hot right now. Knies must be on first line. TJ Brodie is useless. Tre has to make a major move for a shutdown Dman otherwise team won’t go far. Team lacks killer instinct. They should trade Kampf he’s not with his salary.
Was most excited for this season to start because of one thing: MATTHEW FKN KNIESSSSSS! I knew he’d end up getting that first line. Unreal player.
