So, who's faster? Mikheyev or Kapanen?

Souperman

Just amazing galaxy brain veteran savvy by Thornton and Simmonds to take out Ehlers and Dubois from the rest of the game when the Jets are trailing. *chef's kiss on those trade-offs

I was thinking the exact same thing.  What a trade off. 2 of our 4th liners for 2 of their top offensive players.  Wow!  I will take that everyday of the week.

I love this Jumbo Joe!!  This is what I was looking for while he was being a happy huggy bear.

All season I've been thinking about that incident with Kadri a few years ago, wondering when that Joe was gonna show. I think he's here, just in time for the playoffs.

It's nice to see the Leafs dish out some physical punishment for a change. And win, of course.

 

[bustaheims]

Do the Leafs not clinch the playoffs if they win?

Need a Vancouver loss to clinch tonight.

 

[ZBBM]

Maybe the best thing about this was the Jets basically said they were going to come out physical and the Leafs answered ? smartly for the most part.  And didn't come unglued after the 1-0 goal.

How awesome would it be if the Habs finish 5th

 

[L K]

So the Habs would be 10th in the East right now...maybe they aren?t the best team in the North division

Juggernauts.

Not sure but I think the Leafs would do better against the Habs.

Nah. I want to see Leafs play the Habs for the first time in 42 years

Only have winning records against Edmonton and Vancouver. They?d be near the bottom of the league in a normal year.

Agree.  100%

I was thinking about Kadri but also I remember watching a game between San Jose and Pittsburgh and Thornton did the 'Ehlers' to Sid and they were slashing each other, crosschecking each other, etc and took Sid out of that game as well.

It is nonetheless my understanding that Bergevin won GM of the Year back in January.

LOL!!!  That's GOLD!

I was thinking about that a bit a go but you presented the hype so much better than I could.

Juggernauts.

Don?t you mean jugger-nots? I?ll see myself out.

 

[Bender]

Big win. That game was worth watching for Thornton going apeshit alone [emoji23]

It was awesome.

Dang I missed the whole thing.

I don't have time to read MLHS much (and they are the "competition," ahem) but this seemed like a very good game analysis to me:

I love watching Sandin play. He's not just outstanding at making passes, he's also brilliant at creating passing opportunities. I have no problem putting on the PP ahead of Rielly. And great hit on Wheeler.
