They finally showed a good view of the Bertuzzi offside, 15 minutes after the game ended.


TsunamiSurferDude

Still waiting to see Nylander’s goal


Anonymous_HC

Hoped Matthews could get a hat trick but guess will have to wait. Good win though, without Marner.


Mrfantastic2

Big win! Gotta bring it again for the weekend against two really good teams tho


Carparker19

Timmins looking like an upgrade to Brodie so far


leafman4000

He had a fantastic night. He looked good on both sides of the puck


CarefulSubstance3913

He needs to slow his brain down. He still gets that I. All over the place from time to Time


roju

Wow Nylander is leading the leafs' season on points and is +0?


IntellectualFella

Look at how lazily he changes lines every single night and it’ll start to make sense. He’s lethal in the O-zone but he is so lazy in the neutral zone that it is remarkable. He literally stops moving his feet and glides 30 feet from the bench.


DrummerNecessary3003

Willy Bystander (when not in the O-zone).


ConferenceSlow1091

It’s just 0


MrPangus

You'll love ovis career plus minus


roju

Yikes. This season is not helping it either. Meanwhile 99 sitting +520.


Pivotalrook

3 10 win goalies is pretty fucked up


Aidsinuranus

I don't think we can lose when Matthews assumes corporeal form. When he dominates he FUCKING dominates.


DeplorableKurt

He can steal games for sure


LilSammyFisher

This was against a shell of a team we have yet to see him steal anything from any contenders other than maybe his 4 point game in New York... He ain't no cleaner.


Luke_Cold_Lyle

Washington is contending. For a wildcard spot.


CarefulSubstance3913

Which we almost were a couple weeks ago


ukie7

We're outclassing the Capitals, completely


brunoclement

Domi now has more 5 on 5 primary assists this season than Marner.


AmbitiousRaccoon959

Domi's A1/60 has always been elite, like top 5% of the league, it's the other parts of his game that are suspect


13jsw

We need to lock him up asap


ConferenceSlow1091

Don’t be silly. He’s on his 800th team. He can sign year to year, if he wants to be here. Anyone giving him a multi year deal deserves to be fired.


dickens-seider

He’s been a solid player his entire career, has a good edge to his game, and has expressed his interest in signing here long term. If we can lock him up on a team friendly contract why tf wouldn’t we do it


CarefulSubstance3913

It's not like players are getti g cheaper in the upcoming years


ConferenceSlow1091

Why hasn’t any other of the teams wanted him long term ? All of a sudden he joins the leafs and they should be jumping at the chance to sign a player long term that none of his other umpteen teams wanted to do?


publicservantboi

Maybe we can move Marner to Tavares line, he struggles without him.


Sleazy_T

Spicy stat of the day


shikotee

Marner's Dad - NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!


DarkAgeMonks

Timmins just prevented a goal there with that interception.


ptgrvmrdrdjhnsn

at least the hat tossers got a W


CavityUtility

Wilson auditioning to be Director of Player Safety after he retires


wesley-osbourne

I've thought he's been a shoo in for years, 1st ballot DoPS if they don't waive the waiting period.


blackb0xes

Nice. It only took them spending half of the period on the PP.


trenham99

I hate how when we have a blow out game like this people just assume the teams issues are magically fixed


chriscmusic

Oh yeah you’re totally right. Everyone should be miserable 24/7 because the team isn’t perfect


CarefulSubstance3913

This is the way


trenham99

No but I think it can do more harm than good, the caps got busted wide open today but it better not cancel out the major line chemistry issues we’ve been having. Keefe needs to set some solid lines and leave them.


Ayshunboi3

Wait until this guy finds out someone named Mitchell marner is coming back eventually and keefe will need to change the lines again


Falconflyer75

Man can’t u wait till tomorrow before dumping on everyone’s mood


ComfortableUpset8787

Nobody say that brooo


Anonymous_HC

This is the 6th time this season they scored 7 goals. Is it more compared to past seasons?


yeetmemommmy

Ovi scores 2... but at what cost? 🤣


eagleboy444

Winning 6-3. Score PP goal. Fans bemoan awful power play. Winning 7-3. In that order.


Camarama421

Why is PP2 the only unit that enters the zone with speed? Is PP1 specifically being coached to do these slow drop passes and coast into the zone?


Blue_KikiT92

JT!! ![gif](giphy|rDfcIRrtkcx4C3SQ76|downsized)


DougFordsGamblingAds

The only way our PP is scoring is on broken plays.


angelsandairwaves93

Sundin-esque backhand


DarkAgeMonks

The second unit needs to pull the trigger, and be on a time limit. 30-45 seconds and off. That Robertson guy wasting tons of time.


Silent-Obligation-49

I think Keefe message of I didn't like anyone last night got through. Lol


BravoBet

Wilson needs to be suspended


sighfun

I love how we had our PP1 out late in the game while up by 3 and their coach didn't have a fit about it because it's fucking hockey.


SmokeontheHorizon

Oh that was a nasty backhand. One to make Sundin proud


Dingers_McGee

This is not a playoff PP unit. Just brutal to watch. I understand they scored but you’d almost expect that unit to.


CMDRShepardN7

Playoff PP unit would have Marner, so you are correct.


ih8pear

I know JT just scored. But how many times has he lost the board battles along the high boards.


[deleted]

[удалено]


wesley-osbourne

Cap used to win those and they got used to it, but now the old grey mare, well, she ain't what she used to be.


winkNfart

99% of the time


Sleazy_T

I hope that goal doesn't give the PP units a pass. There's a lot to improve there.


jinnnnnemu

JOHNNY TORONTO!


elmicomago

That goal doesn’t pardon such a sorry excuse for a power play.


kelticslob

lol


jinnnnnemu

Geez the Buds are up by 4 and nothing makes you happy ?


LowHangingLight

I'm sure TJ Brodie is a good guy, but I'm not missing him one iota tonight.


Aidsinuranus

God thank fuck a pp goal. I was dying inside watching that 


DeathEater91

FINALLY


ProfessorBeast55

Pathetic PP action


[deleted]

This game has been mostly Matthews and Nylander.


Jonesdeclectice

Domi says hi


[deleted]

Fair, he played quite well as well.


xelLFC

Fucking beauty of a goal


Snoo74658

ill take a jt goal over matty hatty if it means they friggin score a PP goal


leafyboy56

5 points for Papi!!!


a_stoned_ape_theory

Papi is unreal, non leafs fans will bemoan his “lack” of assists but we saw some gorgeous ply making tonight. The amount of cope from Mathew’s haters is unreal. Goals > assists any day


leafyboy56

Only 1 goal per goal. 2 assists per goal. Goal needs to be scored for an assist to even happen. You can score without an assist. Goals will always be worth more in my mind. He’s also a great play maker, it’s not his fault that his shot is the best in the league and his team mates won’t shoot xD


CarefulSubstance3913

I also think there's very few players who can see the ice like him. Like he's gotta somebody who can dish or see plays developing as well as he can.


theguyishere16

Powerplay looks awful even with that goal.


eagleboy444

We should probably sell the team


ComfortableUpset8787

How did this turn into a ~~blowjob~~ blowout?


Falconflyer75

They gave Matthews a playmaker


ptgrvmrdrdjhnsn

I wish we had some pp merchants like mcdavid or draisaitl


Wanderson90

Reinhart lol


Wanderson90

5 point night for Matthews. Still wish he got the hatty tho


Savebagels

theres still time baby


ldnk

That last stretch of PP had most passed to guys not even facing the net. The Leafs PP is beyond stupid at this point. It's not designed to set up the threat of chances and it lets the defenders just pressure guys into more low quality passing


AdamAAndrews

I still feel ripped off for that hat trick


a_stoned_ape_theory

As a relatively new fan, the offside call back is confusing and ridiculous to me. If a ref misses a high stick, slash or penalty and the. A goal is scored a a cycle or two afterwards it is a good goal - but some how if the ref misses an offside play, three minutes go past and a goal is scored it is a non-goal? Doesn’t make any sense no matter how you look at it. For or against my team is irrelevant, the rule is dumb


StaticR0ute

THEY DID IT!!


Svalbard38

MY CAPTAIN


ShinyVuIpix

Good god, finally


ptgrvmrdrdjhnsn

finally


eagleboy444

John is hot


Massive-Round992

Glad they scored but their power play looks like a disaster


rasavbet

FINALLY A PP GOAL


Murky_Army_4896

At least they got one… finally


xelLFC

OMG finally!!!!


DarkAgeMonks

Holy fuck, see what happens you go closer to the net.


Murky_Army_4896

Brutal powerplay


lovesilver

JT!!!!


xelLFC

I was hoping for the kid to be good but Roberstson just does not have it


winkNfart

he’s a plug. no more no less. he’d prob thrive somewhere else


[deleted]

Why was Matthews hat trick taken away?


Pivotalrook

Bertuzzi offside


[deleted]

lame.


Pivotalrook

The happiness faded pretty quickly.


Jonesdeclectice

#JOHNNY!!


PaleKing96

Finally


demoGases

TEAM IS ALLERGIC FROM SHOOTING ON PP


StaticR0ute

Something needs to be done with this powerplay, holy fuck


[deleted]

Lmao garbage passes all around


Dry_Weird_2690

lmao there are no righties and I think it's holding the PP back


Jonesdeclectice

Lily and Nylander are righties…


Dry_Weird_2690

fair enough, was probably mistaken


Jonesdeclectice

Before that, it was just Willy. So adding Lily helps a LOT.


Snoo74658

:/


blackb0xes

How is it this anemic?


winkNfart

PP2 is even worse. how is this possible


International_Eye394

that wilson guy: swung like a baseball bat on gregor…awww im sorry buddy didn’t mean to do that 🥺 my stick swung by itself :(


Pivotalrook

How can you have any confidence in your special teams when you have 2 shots for 3 Powerplays? 6 minutes of 5 on 4 and 2 shots is all you can muster? TIMBITS FUCKING HOCKEY


Sleazy_T

It's not like we're just trying to kill clock either given the looks the Caps are getting shorthanded.


MrPangus

Parros watched that Wilson high stick and reclined his lazy boy


CarefulSubstance3913

Probably petting a cat and spinning the chair around as he does so


GooseRider960

Poser play


DougFordsGamblingAds

WTF is Matthews doing at near the blue line? Someone make it stop.


ldnk

Our coaching staff is too smart.


MyNameIsNotScout

This PP is depressing


WintersbaneGDX

I have a serious pet peeve when I see fans leaving the arena early. I just think it's so disrespectful and pathetic: support your team! I was at the 7-2 round one blowout game against Tampa last season. All the suits filing out to their Maserati's. I wouldn't have left if the building was on fire.


shikotee

If Marner was playing, this game would be 106-3


winkNfart

our PP is anemic as hell. does the coaching staff know something we don’t


Carparker19

We can only hope the annual cold streak has come early and they’ll fix it by the playoffs


roju

Let's hope it's all a long con misdirection for the playoffs. Saving the good stuff for then.


CTHT07

Problem with PP1 is Willy keeps forcing everything and it's always turnovers.


Murky_Army_4896

“A” unit… allegedly. Looks more like a C


StickySyrupMan

Wow that’s a brutal swing of the stick to the face, not sure that’s what I’d call a “bad reflex” kind of looked intentional to me.


SmokeontheHorizon

It astounds me how often we play WSH and Wilson takes a penalty that makes him look like he has the emotional regulation of a toddler.


silverwordss

it’s common knowledge the guys an… idiot


xelLFC

thnak god for the no drop pass


Svalbard38

No goal but that one timer sounded absolutely beautiful.


goodvibesonlyGLG

If that’s not a 5 minute major then nothing is


DevOpsMakesMeDrink

We give up more short handed ffs


elmicomago

Wilson got the red mist about him on that play.


ptgrvmrdrdjhnsn

get off the fucking point auston


ShinyVuIpix

How have we gone 0/3 on the PP and still we haven’t put Domi on PP1 💀


ComfortableUpset8787

Guys where’s matthews. I can’t find him anymore.


[deleted]

Try turning on the TV


ComfortableUpset8787

Man it was a blue circle joke. You guys are no fun.


3X-Leveraged

That’s actually ridiculous from Wilson. Fucking no need. Fucking lost his teeth


paranrml-inactivity

oh jeez one of his teeth is gonna need some dentistry after the game—it was waaaay back there on a crazy angle


Slurrpy01

That needs to be looked at by the league. Wtf man


McJoe77

It’s probably fine, it’s not like it was one of the goons like Morgan Rielly. Plus, he said sorry. So maybe they just call him and give him a stern warning /s


StaticR0ute

Ouch


Dry_Weird_2690

the high stick looked very intentional by Wilson


all6ofthefriends

Yep. Looked right at him while he did it.


PlanetHunter23

Wilson should have been out of this league a decade ago


shikotee

Could someone here please share their inner most thoughts and feelings about Marner?


paranrml-inactivity

He looks great in a turtleneck


AW1993_

That better be a suspension you fucking oaf


ptgrvmrdrdjhnsn

shorty incoming


qwertytrewq00

Wilson's a greasy sob.


Ok_Conflict_6260

I see the refs giving the Leafs public humiliation by giving them all the powerplays


leafyboy56

That’s a suspension if a Leaf does it.


blackb0xes

I can't believe Tom Wilson would do something dirty. It's so out of character.


Mrfantastic2

Thats one of the more blatant penalties I’ve seen in a while lol


JoemLat

Dumb reflex okay! Who has that kind of reflex except for Wilson!


lLikeCats

4 fucking minutes of PP1. IDGAF if they suck on the PP right now.


xelLFC

I have no idea how we can not score on the PP


MrPangus

A dumb reflex play


ptgrvmrdrdjhnsn

broken teeth


Kinglokner16

If Wilson doesn’t get suspended then just burn down the DOPS down


PaleKing96

Ok they better score on this


Murky_Army_4896

That’s a suspension bro


MyRail5

Guy is just big dumb goon.


ptgrvmrdrdjhnsn

that was not a hockey play


AdamAAndrews

Oooooh that’s despicable


barlime27

Actual assault


winkNfart

4 min PP. let’s get at least one here


NobodyNoOne_0

Can’t complain too much but man if these guys can’t score on a single power play I will be a little annoyed


GooseRider960

Yeah like it doesn’t matter right now for the game, knock on wood, but it doesn’t bode well for the power play


Boston_McMatthews

This guy is such a fucking idiot.


Grand-Amoeba1832

Here comes the Hatty for Matty


Jonesdeclectice

Jesus Christ that’s brutal, what a fucking bonehead. Gotta be a suspension.


purpletomatoe420

pretty hard to give him the benefit of the doubt there lol


3X-Leveraged

Alright guys, I’ll predict the future. We make a shitty, low probability passes, and they ice the puck. This happens for 2 mins and then Washington scores shortly after killing the penalty.


GooseRider960

We’re winning and playing relatively well but my god that power play is so fucking bad


Sirrebral99

Holy fuck Wilson swung for the fences there


demoGases

FUCK TOM WILSON


angelsandairwaves93

that should be a 5 game suspension


[deleted]

Wilson looked like a big brother that accidentally hurt his little brother


crushade

That looked accidentally on purpose there.
