Maple Leafs

Leafs win 2-1 over Tampa, that's 4 wins in a row.

That is what $40+ million of forwards can get you when they are on the power play at the same time 4 on 3.

But they're not built for the playoffs.

It's not your money. It's not my money. It's not tax payer money.

Only stating a fact. They could have had 3 forwards and 1 d-man but instead went with their 4 highest paid forwards. I thought it was a good move before they stopped the puck and it paid off.

Leafs could've pulled the goalie and put Reilly out to add another $5M to that total. LOL.

Now you are being stupid?

Great finish by the boys in blue. JC36 - some key saves late in the game.

John Tavares deserves a raise, with 4 goals to date this season.
His extra pay raise should come from cutting Marner's who has only scored once
so far for his $10 million pay cheque. Cut him loose.

only saw a few minutes of leaf game. did simmonds get retribution on the guy that clipped marner? only asking because he is the supposed end all for taking care of rough stuff is he not??

 

[glamphotographer]

Sergachev suspended 2 games for waking up Marner to get 2 assists in the game.

The TSN reporter has the nerve to call him the best goalie in the world.
That title should go to Jack Campbell.

Keefe for the Adams!

Why does does someone stepping in front of Marner get two games and someone trying to behead Perreault gets a $3000 fine with no suspension???

Joe Thornton hit on Perreault

Given only two minutes for interference, gets Perreault right in the head.

You’d have to ask the NHL that...to me, it looks like Perreault hit was mostly chest while the Tampa player rose up to hit Marner in the head.

Oh yeah. His shoulder to the chest. Got it.

good point.

 

[chuckertmg]

good point.

Marner at least had the puck and was on a rush.
The Thornton hit was away from the puck and a deliberate attempt to injure.
But a $3000 fine.
I’m sure that made him sorry.

Just like the Raptors before Kawhi (and Ibaka and Gasol), the Leafs still don’t have “it” as Paul Pierce so aptly said. The “it” is the fear factor an opposing team has in terms of how they match up not only talent wise but, more importantly, physically. The Leafs can win a regular season game with just 13 hits as they did against Tampa, but they will wilt (pun intended) again in the playoffs when the intensity ramps up.
