  4. Refs tried their best to give the game to Carolina but the Buds held it down. Good win!

  6. Schenns willingness to lay the body on stars should make him a LOCK in the playoffs. Same with McCabes grittiness.

  8. First solid game with 11 and 7 and it ended up being 10 and 7. Hope Acciari is okay.

  9. I guess there’s one drawback of 11-7 I didn’t expect…some single digit IQ, clown looking mother fucker might sock one of our forwards in the gob.

  12. Rare to get two Ws in the same night. Feels good to crush the Canes and the refs.

  18. I love games against Carolina. Always a good watch, even when they’re bad. But when they’re good, oh baby, look out.

    I don’t think a single Leaf played badly. Everyone looked great.

    And so tomorrow, I shall keep my expectations very very low.

  19. Decisive game against a strong opponent. Hopefully they can keep up that type of play down the stretch and into the playoffs.

    And Matthews looked fucking great tonight!

  20. I like how we all gave our energy to AM’s knees so much now that it scores goals on its own.

  22. Petition to rebrand the leafs to the St.Pats – keep everything the same as tonight. The crowd was great too. I hope the refs get more loud reactions going forward. The coaches and players can’t comment but the crowd was heard tonight.

  23. I was impressed with Sammy, Schenn played his role like he should and that role we need in the any type of run. Our bottom six even down Accarai dominated the Canes tonight huge difference between the two. I’m really impressed with Rob as a coach…didn’t pull the goalie down 3 with a game in the US tomorrow night……….that was actually very wise, don’t let the opposing pad stats or hurt your boys. They aren’t gonna have a chat about it for a week, just drop the game and focus on the next one.

  24. I know Schenn had several brutal giveaways tonight but if he crunches someone 5 minutes into game 1 like his hit on Aho the SBA is gonna erupt

  26. For me Samsonov has something over every leafs goalie in recent memory (back to freddy and beyond); I dont worry hes gonna straight up fall apart when he gives up a bad goal early

  27. Keefe said Acciari was in the dressing room postgame and handed the belt off to ZAR so hopefully they’re just being very cautious with him and he doesn’t miss too much time
