Bad reffing? No problem. Intimidation by the other team? bring it on, but more importantly, they never gave up and played a full 60 minutes. Its not like it was just another regular season game either , Toronto really wanted to win last night and they brought their "A" game. I have waited a long time to see this team play like this again, I am ecstatic and can't wait until next year. Yes Demko helped us weather the storm initially and then we hit them back with alot of grade A chances of our own. Myers set the tone early with his hit on Tavares and then ragdolling McCabe. Joshua was also really good all night. Bunting is lucky that the linesmen was in the way or Dakota would have made him drink through a straw. Miller was solid. Podz too . The whole team bought in and came to play. Would like to see a bit more from kravtsov. It's still early but he hasn't impressed me yet and I wonder if he had the competitive desire / will to win that we see from our other skilled guys like Petey. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It actually pays to be a bit passive, and the big thing I've noticed is that we're being a lot more diligent with blocking lanes than we used to be aside from the one goal against. Thats actually a really good insight I didn't think about. When our PK was doing great, we were a good shot blocking team and then Demko would make the saves. Somewhere along the way (maybe after losing Tanev Beagle etc, our shot blocking got terrible. Guys weren't filling the shooting lanes. Maybe that's the issue? Good point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My expectations are low , and usually more realistic drafting.. I’d rather be pleasantly surprised about draft picks, and how they work out. This draft seems deep though, but I doubt if we get anyone we’re willing to have with the big club for 2 seasons. ( always happier to be wrong in this case ) Bedard would be a Cherry. At the very least he will be a canuck one day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miller went beast mode, tbh, and I am happy to take heat for this, but if Tocchet can get him to focus, him and Petey could both get Selke consideration over the next 2 years. 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine if he played like this earlier in the season Agreed. Game would have looked a lot different if leafs were up 2-0 in the first 15 min while out shooting van 14-4 or whatever it was. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its nice watching games like this because you can then see who your "Gamers" really are, we seen that last night. Miller, Joshua, Petey, Myers, Demko and Kuz all showed they can perform when things get amped up. Plus they did it in those classic black jerseys! they have some history behind them.

ilduce39 Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 Games like that are why I can see a team taking on Myers next year. If I were a GM I’d consider a 2nd and a 4rd for the Canucks to take 50% for Myers and another team to take another 1.5 off of that. At 1.5 mil you’re going to have days where Myers is an absolute steal and his size / ability to play up the lineup is a nice safety blanket in the playoffs. Of course, you’re going to have days where you’re wondering why you paid for the guy, too. The nature of the chaos giraffe… but overall very likely worth the risk. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they'll try and recoup their 2nd with a boeser move at the draft, but I think they'll hold off on Myers until the tdl, unless someone is willing to take him without retention and without a sweetener in the off season 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post KirkSave Posted March 5, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 5, 2023 Had the pleasure of being at the game last night. It had everything. Been to about a 12 games since 2005. This was by far the most entertaining. The atmosphere was electric. Seemed like at least half the arena if not more were Leafs fans. Watching Petey and Miller get those 2 shorties in quick succession was the best. NHL players are amazing athletes. Watching Tavares get levelled twice was fun. Seeing Bunting go face first and concuss himself was hilarious. Such a weasel. Schenn and Miller sized each other up early in the first along the wall in the Leafs end and those 2 bulls did not hold back. Loved it!!! We won this game. Now we can lose 2/3 of the ones left and land a solid talent at the draft 4 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
