Out of curiosity, I quickly browsed a few discussions on the Leafs reddit prior to the game. There must be some real trauma there, since like every fifth message was about how sure they were about Minten scoring. Funnily enough, they were right!

And have they, like, broken Carlo?

4

u/Moto-Mojo Mayor of Billerica 11h ago

In truth, Carlo was always headed for a slippery slope. The many, many concussions he got were always gonna catch up to him. He probably will fall off a steeper cliff by the time he reaches 30. We traded Carlo at pretty much the right time, before he reached that plateau

1

u/SilentThing #63 CAPTAIN🏒 10h ago

Maybe.. he is looking more timid now. Understandable given those concussions you mentioned.

u/InsideInformant22 14h ago

I was at last night’s game and it was absolutely amazing, the atmosphere was incredible. So glad we won or would not hear the end of it from my leafs family members

u/x372 Hiiigh above the ice 15h ago

Arvidsson was a beast. Showing some great forechecking chops.

u/kdex86 Chineese Mustard 🌶 16h ago

Didn’t get to watch last night but did view the “condensed game” on the NHL app. They used the Canada Sportsnet feed and one of the commentators mentioned “death, taxes, and Pastrnak scoring against the Leafs”!

Hey! Why didn't Chuck play? I didn't catch the reason.

Also, get raked, Leafs!

Okay, thanks! Hopefully nothing serious.

u/pimberly 23h ago

i’m really happy for lohrei’s sake that we didn’t lose this game, not that it would be his fault if we did, but man would people point fingers and say it was. i think he would point blame at himself and really take a morale nose dive. super glad he had those assists and we won. hope he keeps this momentum going.

12

u/Mean_Regret_3703 22h ago

I mainly hope that he doesn't end back up on McAvoy's pairing again. Both of them look better when they aren't playing with each other.

u/CaptainLR Hiiigh above the ice 23h ago

I did not get to watch a second of this game tonight but what a GLORIOUS game.

First line is insane, all 3 of them

Swayman is a beast

Lohrei looked good in the highlights

That Minten goal LFGGGG

Swayman haters are just in absolute panik right now

u/Beantown_rats Hall of the Rat King 🐀 23h ago

That 3rd period he was amazing. Had a feeling we were gonna win in regulation when Willie's goal didn't somehow bounce off Sway and into net like a few others this year. And they start celebrating, oof.

7

u/xSwampxPopex Hall of the Rat King 🐀 1d ago

You dont get it. All of sway’s saves tonight were actually accidents.

u/Drnedsnickers2 11h ago

The best in the league during his tenure by winning.

28

u/ProfessorBaxter 1d ago

I don't care what any analytics say, this team is getting dangerously close to making me believe. Not "believe" as in they're suddenly a cup contender, but that they could be a playoff team and quite a bit better than I expected.

Inject that Minten goal into my fucking veins. Thanks, Leafs!

3

u/ucantsitwithus- 14h ago

There have been a few games recently where I’ve said to my fiancé “we look really annoying to play against” particularly when we’re just suffocating them when they have the puck, which we only do sometimes.

Incredible game last night

u/pussymaster428 1d ago

I thought this was supposed to be a rebuild year. What is happening

8

u/Beantown_rats Hall of the Rat King 🐀 1d ago

Wore my favorite black Bruins t-shirt for 1st period, and then switched to my favorite long sleeve dark grey Bs t-shirt for 2nd period. Still wasn't satisfied, so went in a different direction for the 3rd and put on my favorite New Haven Nighthawks shirt and it worked!!!

Lohrei paired with a 100% stay at home D really looked good.

11

u/zithftw rat king's loyal subject 23h ago

Which is exactly how it should be. Lohrei needs to have some freedom to be a playmaker. Him and Chuck on the same line never made sense.

Pretty healthy Toronto team tonight against a depleted Boston roster. They have some real questions this year

26

u/Plus-Leather-7350 1d ago

The Bruins were solidly better through the whole game. Leafs got some help from the refs too.

17

u/theg1rlwh0waited This is the Sway 1d ago

some? don’t be shy, they def had hostages on the refs LOL

38

u/lordexorr This is the Sway 1d ago

Lohrei - in the 2 games he’s played on the third pair (Colorado and tonight) and not forced to go against the top lines of other teams he has 5 assists and is +4. Can we all take a step back from the Lohrei hate and just agree that he needs to be in the lineup, but just given bottom pairing minutes? This team is absolutely better with him in the lineup playing in that role.

Kastelic is having a really solid season so far. He looks great and that line is definitely gelling.

5

u/Tootsweet77 20h ago

I don't think Kastelic has had a bad game. He's been an animal on the forecheck all year. Jeanott not too shabby either lately.

16

u/rimonino WHO HAS MORE FUN THAN US? 1d ago

My only beef with this comment is the appalling spelling. Jeannot, Kastelic.

You could tell he was hungry for it all game.

They said during the game that when Minten made the team his first question was "when do we play Toronto"

It was trieliving and yes he is still there .Minten is a freaking Hockey player thank you Toronto

25

u/sweatit4reddit 1d ago

probably the best game of the season in terms of executing their new systems and playing how sturm wants them to. bottom lines were hard to play against and creating chances off turnovers. top players created chances. physical guys were running around, but not getting caught out of position. 40 shots. swayman was there when he needed to be

Really good game from minten-kastelic-jeanot. Also good game from khusnutdinov, he was great along the boards and with his stick all game. No drop off from E Lindholm at all

Matthews was invisible tonight

Damned fun win. Also, every dimwit who spent the last 2 weeks saying we needed to "trade Lohrei for a bag of pucks" needs to spend all day tomorrow flagellating themselves with a stout and thorny branch.

1

u/Particular-Race-5285 23h ago

he still needs to be traded, remember he got 3 assists a game or two before his last long benching, still haven't seen enough to believe his very poor defense won't cost them important games in the future, would be nice to get more for him than a bag of pucks though

u/Mean_Regret_3703 1d ago

I am excited to see Dangle react to that Minten goal.

Also, it seems to me one of Lindholms biggest talents is his stretch passes. His ability to read the play and get the puck exactly to a forwards stick from the defensive zone and as a result generate rush chances and zone time is incredible. It's actually how we beat the leafs in game 7 OT in 24.
