1. #FINALLY A FULL FUCKING 60 MINUTE EFFORT!!

2. FUCK THE BRUINS.
   ME AND ALL MY HOMIES HATE THE BRUINS.

3. Refs did everything they could but we won

4. Like everything in Leaf-land – a big win feels bittersweet. Not sure what they’ll do in net now.

5. This loss brought to you byyyyyyy Mitchell Miller

6. Absurd game defensively, especially in the 3rd period. Let’s keep it rolling boys!

7. What did it cost? *Everything*.

8. Great fucking game! Hope Sammy is OK!!

9. We won… but at what cost?

10. I really hope Samsonov isn’t out for long, but damn this was such a good win!

11. That was the most impressive game of the season. Fuck the bruins and Mitchell Miller.

12. Easily the best performance so far this season. What a game! Sending prayers to Sammy. We need more smile.

13. These are the games they tell you the leafs can’t win

14. Three cheers for our new starting goalie: Erik Kallgren 🥴

15. God I fucking hate the Bruins

16. I don’t understand how this team loses to bottom feeder teams but can snap a win streak of the hottest team in the east while using their backup backup goalie. Still happy though fuck the bruins

17. Holly hell that was a good game.

18. Fuck the Bruins

19. All I was is Samosonov to be OK

20. Great effort but Samsonov getting hurt is a huge negative on an otherwise all positive night.

    One other thing though that wasnt mentioned, Ullmark was on an 8 game win streak to start the season so the Leafs just killed his chances to catch Campbell’s record.

21. The Mitch Miller Curse has begun!

22. I want more smiles to be okay 😔

23. Fuck Mitchell Miller’s franchise

24. SAMMY TAKE MY ENERGY ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ

25. BOSTON RUINS 1

    TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS 2

26. Switching to the Habs game and watching them getting fed is like a post coitus cigarette.

27. Giordano continues to impress defensively. We are increasingly lucky he decided to take over the Spezza discount

28. Is there anything Leafsier than beating the team with the best record in the league in the same week they lose to one of the worst?

29. Fahk Bawston

30. Holl had a good game

31. Really hope sammy is just day to day at worst credit to Kallgren for making the saves he needed

32. Who says a finesse team can’t play gritty and greasy? All around amazing effort by the Buds. Even Holl with his stick/lance had a good game and was a wall in front of his own net. I have said all along that the Leaf starve or feast based on their psyches, not on their talent – and this is what they look like playing confident. Now… if they could only find this gear agains lesser foes, we would be golden… or Stanley Cup silver!

33. Fuck the bruins

34. For all the hate we give Holl, can we take a moment to appreciate how good of a game he had and how much of a warrior he was in the 3rd?

35. FUCK BOSTON

36. Real talk though…

    What goalies are available that we could realistically get before 5PM tomorrow?

37. Liljegren is so noticeable in this lineup. Instead of a Holl gaff every other shift, it’s just crisp passes and won board battles. Lilly play’s like a vet out there.

38. Hopefully kallgren gains some confidence after holding the bruins off for that period

39. Literally night and day from the October games where even when the team won games, they were evenly matched statistically speaking vs the bum teams of the league.

    This game was more indicative of the games from last season:

    – The Leafs had a 60%+ CF for most of the game
    – Outshot the Bruins 2 to 1 until the final 10 minutes or so
    – Held Boston to 4 high danger shots until the final 5 minutes

40. For all the criticism that he has deserved, Holl played a great game tonight. For 2 million to be our 3rd most played D, he’ll never be perfect but if he can play like this all hope may not be lost.

41. Not one shot against 5v5 with JT on the ice? Damn that’s bonkers.
