PAPI

 

[herman]

Haha I was wondering when he?d get on the board.

 

[ZBBM]

Incredible sequence at both ends!

 

[Guilt Trip]

And Anderson equals awesome. Saved our ass there.

 

[herman]

Beautiful little touch pass by Kapanen.

 

[herman]

Alright Hainsey, do the thing

 

[CarltonTheBear]

I don't think either of the top-2 lines have been very impressive tonight, but Matthews' still has a pair of goals and we (finally) got some secondary scoring.

 

[Arn]

What a great few minutes at both ends there. Absorbing to watch. Great stuff from Andersen then the immediate momentum shift and goal.

That was fun.

 

[lc9]

Very good effort from Freddie tonight. 

 

[TheMightyOdin]

That was a good road trip.

 

[ZBBM]

That, my friends, was an impressive 3rd period.

 

[Redleaf]

Biggest all around win of the year !

 

[herman]

Leafs win a game tonight they would?ve lost last season. And they?re still down a huge offensive weapon.

 

[Arn]

Great answer from Matthews

"Have you ever been on a run like this where the Puck seemed to be following you around the ice?"

"Yeah I have."

 

[CarltonTheBear]

"Have you ever been in a stretch like this where the puck is just following you?"

Every boring player: No, this has been something special

Auston freaking Matthews: F Yeah

 

[Jeremiad]

I agree. We got pushed around tonight. But our talent (especially in goal) won it for us in the third.

 

[Bill_Berg]

Really nice to see them hold a lead in the third against a godlod, offensive team.

 

[Arn]

Haha great minds, CtB

 

[ZBBM]

Leafs win a game tonight they would?ve lost last season. And they?re still down a huge offensive weapon.

Exactly.

When was the last time they swept a 4-game road trip?  I can't remember it happening.

Andersen sure saved the day there toward the end but puck possession was the difference.  Before that flurry on the extended Caps shift I think they had had only 3 shots.
