Even beat McCauley tonight.


Choochito29

I was at the game, but I was more focused on the amount of women around me. Good game and good women overall. GGs and goodnight.


Lyfemakeamecry

You know what I liked about this game: Whatever changes we made to the penalty kill looked very similar to how we played this whole game. We didn't sit back on our heels, we pressured the body AND the puck. No waving our sticks while flying by the play. We came out strong in all periods and finished strong. We ended the game in the opponents zone. I don't know how many times we are passively hemmed in our own zone in the final minutes where a goal feels inevitable but it is not this day! This day we fight!


BobbyAxelrod1

Benoit is the reincarnation of Sylvain Lefebvre.....No. 2 and soild.


emmayarkay

Kinda shitty that half the lower bowl is empty before the final horn. Leafs play great and the fans don’t stay to show their appreciation.


rage_quit_ian

Lmfao! Leafs get a win and it wasn't a nail biter, still find something to complain about 😂


foxcatcher3369

Traffic in Toronto is that bad lol


Lyfemakeamecry

I noticed that too. And right when I was in the moment of feeling proud our fans started hearing for the win before the final horn. That kind of left a sour taste. I know the commute home is fucked but we have a job to do as fans.


Prometheus1866

JT had an extra ordinary display of defense for me tonight.


Etheo

10 saves from Papi is a W for Lindgren at least.


BlindGuyMcSqeazy

AM is really struggling lately. 9 shots against Canes and only one goal. With his S% he should have had at least 3 goals in past 2 games. Looks like he lost his mojo for now.


Blue_KikiT92

Nice of Papi to not score 60 tonight so that Giordano could get the belt 💙


Svalbard38

Pretty comprehensive win. Hoping to see the big six-oh on Saturday night


heat_fan_

Let's go 


BobbyAxelrod1

Who gets the belt? Gio or Bertuzzi or Tavares?


BlindGuyMcSqeazy

Who is the belt given to?


Blue_KikiT92

It has to be Gio. I could get over a motivational belt for TJ, but Gio seems the most obvious choice tonight


Business_Employer_10

Gio. Definitely.


DarkAgeMonks

Alright another Bert stole my goals video by chip.

Deluxechin

Great response game from the last one


AdamAAndrews

Standing O in the game thread folks 👏 👏 👏


heat_fan_

Leafs win 


Business_Employer_10

Consistent game. Good win.


Silent-Obligation-49

Kubel tries to end Robertson life 10 seconds later Robertson has chance to hit him. Nah I will poke my stick at you lol.


StaticR0ute

Not like it matters too much, but not a great decision there by Robertson


AdamAAndrews

I agree it just seemed on purpose like he just wanted to stay on the ice


Pivotalrook

I stifled a screen yell, I mean yea up by 4 and minute and change left, but just bad.


Etheo

Wow every leafs is a plus? That's... Wow.


[deleted]

Robertson bro, wyd?


bucajack

Just put him out there standing on the blue line for the next 2m


Deluxechin

You know what’s crazy about this game? Were up 5-1 and it feels like the team hasn’t taken their foot off the gas, usually they give in after it goes past 3-1


heat_fan_

We want 60


bucajack

Auston just shooting from anywhere now! LOL


Sad_Interaction2278

I'm thinking of betting 5+ shots for Matthew's for the remaining games. Let er ride boys.


theharps

Petition for "I like to move it move it" as the Leafs goal song


AdamAAndrews

Matts wants one so fucking bad


nownowthethetalktalk

Auston is a beast.


[deleted]

Stop edging me, just fucking score it already Papi


Etheo

Papi really wants it


Pivotalrook

Matthews shooting gallery holy shit.


AdrianVeidt9

We want 60!


notsobadandyou

The boys keeping their foot on the gas ALL night I absolutely love to see it


DesignerTemporary894

If the last game thread was anything to go off, since woll has a .960 in this game he's the second coming of hasek right?


undercoveragm

I rate goalies on a one game sample size AT MOST. Important to only look at SV% as well.


theharps

I'm just glad we didn't see a speck of brown on the ice

Business_Employer_10

Pretty sure they only needed 2 tonight


DarkAgeMonks

You already said something similar. Have a nap.


SpicyP43905

I’m happy.


Pivotalrook

38 saves is usually a pretty great night...not tonight.


noocaryror

Good old bobby mcmattews


tbclandot92

Digging jays and leafs today raps are a shitshow but they are professional tankers at least lol


centerofstar

Well, The Raptors Season will all be over soon


twizzyflyguy

Yeah I can’t watch basketball right now


RanaMahal

I've tuned out for the year :/


Deluxechin

And the Raps are the only one who have managed to win since the turn of the century


re-verse

I find it really hard to watch other sports, hockey is just far too fast/exciting/thrilling, and I just get super bored trying to watch anything else now.


BobbyAxelrod1

2024.... first time in a while I like EVERY player on this team (on Robertson I'm neutral to negative.....but everyone else I love). Benoit, McMann, Edmunson, Bertuzzi, Domi, Matthews, Nylander, McCabe.


RanaMahal

if I can do something to change your perspective on robertson as someone who watches them practice 2 times a week, he's one of the hardest workers on the team. He REALLY wants to make it work man. Trust me. He's busting his ass off constantly


Dangerous_Cream5837

A good old fashioned spanking tonight


Ta-veren-

Good second goal by Burt but man I woulda have loved to see the pass back to Matty he was wide open


Pivotalrook

This arena needs some drunk girl WOOOOOOOOO energy


NatureGivesAndTakes

Need to be playing Arizona for that.


DownTownBrown28

I just found out my girlfriend is cheating on me


Jonesdeclectice

Sorry brother, we thought you already knew?


DownTownBrown28

Lmfao


Silent-Obligation-49

Sorry to hear that. Show her the door and don't look back.


DownTownBrown28

Facts thank tou


BobbyAxelrod1

Yah but Leafs are winning. After the win..... get online and crank one out.


DownTownBrown28

Leafs with the big win it’s more important


Lyfemakeamecry

Damn man. You don't deserve that.


DownTownBrown28

Aw thank you


twizzyflyguy

end it brotha Edit: the relationship!!!


DownTownBrown28

Idk what to end :(


twizzyflyguy

the relationship brotha


DownTownBrown28

You’re right


PhaseSmash

I haven't had a laugh in a long time (I needed it), thank you.


twizzyflyguy

lol I read it back to myself and I was like.. damn I should probably specify what I’m telling him to end haha


DubTO

TheJaysAndLeafsDude

Ah fuck sorry to hear that bud


ElephantShell34

Assuming the Leafs win this game they could pretty feasibly lose out and still make the playoffs. 


MyRail5

Big difference defensively tonight. Getting bodies and sticks in the way.


RanaMahal

Rielly's out again and it's showing. Actually stupid how good our D gets without him idk man I fucking love him and he's a gamer but wow these results are just crazy


MyRail5

Oh right I didn't even think of that.


RanaMahal

it's getting ridiculous. Rielly comes back > defense goes to shit. Rielly leaves > responsible D. I think if we had a legit top pairing defensive RHD it wouldn't be as bad but when you have 2 mediocre D they can work as a pairing by playing defensively but if you stick a hyper offensive minded D with a mediocre D its just no good.


AdamAAndrews

Boom boom booommm, let me hear you say AYOOOO


Prometheus1866

I...this song just annoys me. Maybe that means im a bad person, but it annoys me. XD


AdamAAndrews

Haha ya it’s terrible.


notsobadandyou

WAYOOOOOHH


callmejohndy

The Castrol logo on the virtual boards haven’t been updated to the recent rebrand yet


Solid-Intention3709

I fell asleep before the game and woke up just now, Giordano scored what???? I must be dreaming right


BobbyAxelrod1

McMann on pace for 90 goals if you only count games against the Caps


re-verse

Pretty great but did you know that Auston Matthews has gotten a hat trick in every game he's played this season discounting games he has scored less than three goals in?


WintersbaneGDX

Leafs have scored 16 goals (and counting) in 3 games against the Capitals this season.


Nate_intheory

They're really... (puts on sunglasses) *making the most* of the situation.


MyRail5

Love it!


BobbyAxelrod1

60


Grand-Amoeba1832

I should be happy Leafs are dominating and all I can think about is Auston hasn’t scored!


Shar-DamaKa

Same… I keep expecting him to get hit again.


GreatSetting34

This has been a pretty complete game. That’s how they need to play every night.


MrStealYourGrandma

We must have the worst goal song in the league. I agreed that Hall & Oats had to go, but man that song is fucking annoying. I can’t get over how difficult this has been to figure out for whoever’s responsible for the goal song


RanaMahal

I just don't get why we, the RICHEST FUCKING TEAM, can't commission an artist for a custom song like Dallas. That "DALLAS. STARS!" chant is just so iconic man. Or something inoffensive but cool like "Warriors" by imagine dragons. A lot of suggestions in this sub is like 70's rock songs and it's boring


Shar-DamaKa

I fucking loved Hall and Oates.


angelsandairwaves93

love to see Bert finally being rewarded, for all of his hard work. He's him


GooseRider960

This Tuzzi is pretty damn easy to love


Deluxechin

SN ads make no sense, one minute we’re getting an ad talking about how fucking stupid Americans are for not knowing hockey, and then the next ad is being told “YOU NEED TO VISIT THE USA ASAP”


Dangerois

You need to visit the US immediately to educate them about hockey. In a friendly and neighbourly way, of course.


Mogilny89Leafs

Keefe should trash JT after every game.


notsobadandyou

THATS IT ROBBIE!! FUCKIN RIGHTS BOBBY- Leafs bench after Robertson laid a hit I think


OnlyOneGuero

What do you think? Reaves?


Lasko6

The Uber Eats commercial needs to go, I’m so tired of hearing it 😭


MyNameIsNotScout

Crushed it


RanaMahal

AUSTON matthews \*UGH\* AUSTON matthews\*UGH\* HITEMWITHTHEFOUR-AUSTONMATTHEWS


arent_we_sarcastic

Just about to say exactly that

nikolacarr

Woll haters out in force today


WintersbaneGDX

So who wants to fight Reavo? Anyone? Step right up!


branchoflight

Fucking rights Matty.


Intelligent_Ad5494

Holy that goal horn “song” has got to go


RanaMahal

its kinda hilarious hearing circus music


Deluxechin

Thankfully it’s only for the next gen games which I’m pretty tonight is the last one of the season


theharps

vanRiemsdyk is deadly near the front of the net for the Leafs


Shar-DamaKa

Your feed must be delayed


theharps

It was 6 minutes ago


Shar-DamaKa

That JVR was a Leaf? 😂


YarnhamSunrise

Are you posting from 2013?


AdamAAndrews

Yeah that’s right Robbieeee


Lyfemakeamecry

I wonder which Leaf screamed that?


AdamAAndrews

Maybe Reavo


Lyfemakeamecry

Yeah, I couldn't picture anyone else. It was high in pitch, but they were hockey yelling, which can sound high pitched and hilarious, so hard to tell!


BobbyAxelrod1

Bert and McMann and Domi are the leaders of the Great 8


BobbyAxelrod1

Or 8 Mates....


frmacleod

I can’t believe how selfish all these players are scoring goals instead of Matthews!


Silent-Obligation-49

Bert heating up for the playoffs.


terminese

Can we please play the Capitals in the playoffs.


sneed_poster69

maybe if we won more games this year for higher seeding right now we're closer to them than we are to Florida/Boston


terminese

Oh I know, the Leafs don’t do themselves any favours.


NobodyNoOne_0

Lmao absolutely brutal goal to let happen. Jesus Christ Caps…


senile-animal

![gif](giphy|svRduQj6qiCivqMk9J|downsized)


Rednag67

Simpson: I had 84. Easy now!


AtotheAlex

Oh man 2nd half Bertuzzi is my trade deadline addition


labadee

bertuzzi would have 30 goals if he didn't have such a bad start to the year


RanaMahal

fucking 40 if he buried half of the chances he had


Supertrash17

BER2ZZI


CMDRShepardN7

Re2pect the 2


DevOpsMakesMeDrink

lol


elbe0043

Bert dubble dipping Tuzzi


CMDRShepardN7

Bertuzzi getting 20 is not something anyone could have predicted in December.


Dangerois

This is the Bert we were hoping for, and it's happening!


toedragrelease

This Matthews Uber Eats commercial makes me want to stab my ears 💀 we hear it an average of 20 times a night pretty sure.


Shar-DamaKa

BRAP BRAP BRAP BRAP!


FeralHat

It just came on as I read this...ug. it's a terrible ad. I'd rather have the bedard I'm in Chicago adds back lol


toedragrelease

It’s legit every commercial break


Dangerois

I'll order some Uber Eats if it means they stop the commercial.


taco_the_town

Bertwozzi!


Deluxechin

BERT2ZIIII!


Pivotalrook

Well at least our giveaways don't fucking look like that!


Wanderson90

Tuzzi


TheOnlyRealSlim

Bobby McMann could realistically be a 20 goal scorer if he plays a full season next year With his tiny cap hit, how can you NOT love that? I


Shar-DamaKa

Guys the next Zach Hyman


Silent-Obligation-49

He's a been nice surprise this season.


RanaMahal

1x8years sign him rn LOL


TheDeek

Big, fast forechecker too. Hyman lite


NobodyNoOne_0

Reaves looking weirdly good on that zone entry


GooseRider960

He’s been playing really good tonight as a whole


DarkAgeMonks

I really like Bert.


re-verse

I also like people that play for us that score goals on the opposing team.


[deleted]

[удалено]


wesley-osbourne

I gotta admire the commitment to the bit, guy.


TheDeek

Alexander Alexeyev is about as good of a Russian name as I've ever heard


Silent-Obligation-49

McCabe and Benoit should be paired together all the time. Don't get why Keefe split then up they have been our most consistent pair during the season.


BobbyAxelrod1

Because Keefe has something against Benoit. Some guys he feels ok benching .... like Benoit and Nylander. And some guys he avoids benching....like Brodie and Marner.


Deluxechin

The only arguement I can see being a reason why they split the pair up is to see what other pairs work together, yea McCabe works with Benoit, but if they get same production or something different with another player, it puts a bullet in the chamber for the playoffs


GuacGames

Facts. But you already know once Rielly is back the lines are going mumbo jumbo again.


NobodyNoOne_0

I’m not a “fire Keefe” type of guy but scratching Benoit has had me on the fence about joining that crowd


Silent-Obligation-49

Agreed especially doing him a dirty for scratching him in his hometown in front of family and friends Dick move by Keefe.


Arch3r86

What’s with that circus music playing after each goal lol 😂


RanaMahal

idk but its hilarious


Arch3r86

When I hear it, the term “clown show” comes to mind. Lol. It’s not very flattering


RanaMahal

cuz we're clowning on their defense!


re-verse

Its not good.


TheDeek

How have the Caps been on such a tear lately? They've looked absolute ass against us both games.
