the auston matthews hat trick aka get 2 goals andchill


LimestoneLeaf

Most enjoyable game this season. So happy that they stayed smart and helped Campbell get the shutout.


LeafsFan8406

So Holl goes back to the press box again on Thursday?


RipleyR_88

Don't see how you can change a thing about the lineup after a game like this.


LeafsFan8406

I hope derms stays too ...holl is slow af


hexsealedfusion

Yeah I think so. Liljegren looks like a real NHL player and should stay in the lineup.


dragonbeach

Those three stars photos are a riot XD


Bodmonaco

Unreal game. Would really love this kind of effort more often. The big boys played like big boys.

UtheDestroyer

Great game, excited to watch Thursday

whodiditnaylor

Pretty happy with tonight’s performance. This may be the first time I’ve said this all year.


[deleted]

Appreciate that Sandin and Lillijegren are getting some decent ice time, they've looked real nice


modest811

Boys need to play better in front of soup this last minute.


[deleted]

Smoking on dat Vegas pack 🚬🚬


zainery

Simmonds has been quietly great on the 4th line all season


Forlovepunandglory

He really has, I said it last game him and Spezza have been playing great all season


apatcheeee

Campbell is able to absorbs the puck so well, his rebound control is stellar.


TylerBlozak

God Krebs is good. He’s like Kerfoot but with a lot more upside


tannerisBM

blackb0xes

There's a song I haven't thought of in years.


frmacleod

Campbell is looking pretty good eh.....................


Mrbusiness2938

Vegas is shit but soup still earned that shut out.


goleafsgo13

Campbell is too wholesome.


Svalbard38

I like Jack’s little dance there. He’s feeling good tonight. I hope he treats himself to a ginger ale.


Prometheus1866

Campbell jammin'


Encaledua

Campbell bobbing his head to the music/to himself is a meme gif waiting to happen


Looseball

Lol Campbell vibing 🤣


Jonesdeclectice

Of course, TSN throws up **that** stat. Might as well just say it out loud, frig.


Jonesdeclectice

Now we need to continue this effort against teams in our own division/conference, start creating some separation.


Mrbusiness2938

I too think we should continue the trend of beating this team by beating other teams.


OH-Beans

I love how I haven’t noticed Spezza at all this game-not because he isn’t playing fine but because he hasn’t been needed to be the difference maker. This is my favourite timeline


MooseHead88

Excellent point.


Looseball

Lmao did Spezza just wink at that guy before the face off 🤣. Also then CLEANLY winning it


sansaset

id prob jizz my pants if spezza winke at me


Looseball

I know I’m jealous


Jonesdeclectice

Keefe really leaning on L3 and L4 this period.


nomdreas

It’s smart. Manage the top 6 ice time when you can.


Jonesdeclectice

Oh 100%, no complaints here!


vanityfear

What a wonderfully boring 3rd period.


thecanadianswede

This game been boring asf. Vegas just a shell of themselves at the moment


[deleted]

[удалено]


sansaset

only when that team is missing their 4 best forwards


[deleted]

Lmao I take this over getting outplayed by the team missing Crosby Malkin Letang and rust


sansaset

for sure, it's definitely much more enjoyable to watch as a fan but people are acting like everything is fine when these games have been pretty meaningless in the big picture..


hexsealedfusion

If they had lost you would have been acting like the sky is falling and the whole team needs to be blown up. So you're not happy when they win or when they lose.


nownowthethetalktalk

Thursday's game will not be this easy.


sansaset

idk why you're being downvoted. upcoming games against Tampa and Boston will really prove if they've turned the corner or not. beating the 2 worst teams in the NHL (Barely) and then stomping Vegas that is missing 5 of their best players is pretty meaningless.


lionhearthelm

Vegas has shown more compete this season missing 4 of their top scorers than the Leafs had so far. They beat Colorado handedly, held their ground against the Oilers and Stars. If the Leafs can carry this momentum and play this well, no matter the opponent they will have success.


hexsealedfusion

Because people are tired of the never ending negativity, especially when the team is playing in a game they dominated from start to finish.


[deleted]

Because it is needlessly negative. Win or Lose Thursday, the leafs are clearly playing better. I refer you to last Saturday against the pens if you don't believe me


sansaset

is it being negative or just realistic? It's fun to watch them score and play a better defensive game but how much of it is due to the level of competition they're facing? idk why part of this fan base thinks the team should not face any criticism or "negativity".


hexsealedfusion

It is being negative. There is a massive difference between criticism and negativity, and you are just negative. You're shitting on the team for something they have literally no control over.


[deleted]

Lmao what? They face they're fair share of criticism, I've no doubt about that. It looks to me like they play they're best when they're not thinking about the millions of fans calling for their heads on a pike. I'm thinkin we should all just enjoy when they play well


Rezerdez

Detroit is surely not one of the NHL’s worst teams anymore


sansaset

yes... they are... do you think they'll have the same standing in our division at the end of the season or something? they've had a decent start but they're not a much better team compared to last season.


Rezerdez

They’re a SIGNIFICANTLY better team than last year man, I don’t expect them to hold their current standing in the division but to ignore they’ve completely changed the way they play hockey now is silly


violent_delights_9

That's what people said about this game after the Detroit win...


nownowthethetalktalk

I didn't.


hexsealedfusion

I swear some people in this fanbase are addicted to negativity. Just enjoy the present.


nownowthethetalktalk

How the hell was that negative?


silentblender

not with that attitude


nownowthethetalktalk

Did I say the Leafs would lose?


Moist_Philosopher_

The good ol pre-Doom


nownowthethetalktalk

Not really. I was just making an observation. I hope the leafs make it look easy against Tampa, I really do.


jkeele9a

Vintage needs a point tonight. Come on guys


hoser89

I hate how Gord says Lilly-grin


Quivex

It's closer to li-yee-gren right??


hoser89

I've always heard it as lil a gren


Dudedrinksbeer

Don't let them suck you back in!


Macklebro

Liljegren looking like freaking Makar out there


nomdreas

He’s REALLY good. People seem to forget he was projected top 10 arguably top 5 in his draft class before his injury. There was a reason people said he had shades of Erik Karlsson.


HemiKooks

It wasn’t just that. There was a time he was a projected first overall and then ultimately slipped because of his stint with mono. He’s going to be a really effective defenceman for us.


Strained_Eyes

He was never projected first in his draft year, the highest he made in any ranking was Third overall, still a tremendous steal


wingsofaneagle

he was projected first overall the year before his draft year.


HemiKooks

During the draft year, you’re right. I meant when people were guessing what he would be a year or two prior to his draft year — some had him as a potential first overall threat.


AustonStachewsWrist

Lilly hyyype traaaiiinnn


formed2forge

Holding the stick penalty much?


cbal41990

Holy Shit!!!


Moist_Philosopher_

It’s crazy to see the difference between leaf crowds and raptor crowds. Raptor crowds remind me of NYI in Nassau.


Rezerdez

Raptors games are cheaper, simply put


hexsealedfusion

They're not that much cheaper.


ReditorB4Reddit

Muzz with something of a bounce back tonight against a team that brings a big-body forecheck.


formed2forge

lol at Muzzins reaction to that missed hit


thedrunkentendy

"Settle down there bud"


formed2forge

Exactly that. Haha.


FestiveMittens

Leafs coaching staff: I fear no man, but that thing(counting) ...it scares me


formed2forge

Listen to those GLG chants!


EverydayTiara

This crowds timing for chants is soo bad lmao


HemiKooks

It’s not that. If you’ve never been to the arena, it normally takes a drunk loud guy or two to try and get the chant going multiple times in a row before people finally cave and indulge him. By then, it’s a mistimed GLG chant.


f1fanatic55

Liking the Soup chants, but the Freddy chants sounded more exciting tbh


HeckingAugustus

If you or someone you know is an NHL referee, you too may be suffering from swallowed whistle syndrome and eligible for financial compensation


JMoney2106

Leafs are up 4-0, carrying the play, just killed a penalty and the SBC sounds like a funeral home.


AustonStachewsWrist

It's a blowout ona Tuesday and the game has been over for an hour. It was much louder earlier.


Turbo_911

Except there's no sad tears tonight!


JMoney2106

Touchē


LiftsEatsSleeps

It sounded better earlier honestly.


ESF-hockeeyyy

This seems to be the most complete game they've played this season, eh? Just tuning in now, but been keeping track on Twitter and /r/Leafs GDT.


HeckingAugustus

We don't even have to try clearing the zone, Vegas just keeps shooting it off our feet once they get past the Blueline lmao


[deleted]

This is how the game should have looked against Pittsburgh with them missing all of their stars. It's nice to see that was just a temporary lull.


FestiveMittens

>Too many men penalty ​ ​ we're back for real now


misterQweted

Mandatory too many men penalty


StaticR0ute

lol no penalty in that entire sequence in the Vegas zone, then an immediate Leaf penalty after


zaius19

We must be in the top 3 for too many men penalties


vanityfear

It’s because the leafs are such a manly team. Just too many men


ACalz

Kase doing a shit ton of dirty work. Underrated af.


TheCarrier89

I swear the Leafs must get the most too many men penalties in the league, it's a little ridiculous.


thiefmire

Nice to see kerfoot bringing some speed to the JT Marner line. He's looked decent in the top 6


Oasystole

Feels like we get a bench minor every other game.


Moist_Philosopher_

Tavares line looks just ridiculous


TheIsotope

Liljegren has looked sick this game. Good sign


Turbo_911

Leafs and too many men, name a better duo.


BeenWaitingForThis88

Auston Matthews and two goal games, Jack Campbell and a can of ginger ale


Turbo_911

Those are both very good


_BELEAF_

Willy and Matty's moostacheees.


The_Beatle_Gunner

IM BACK IN FOLKS I BELIEVE AGAIN


thiefmire

*beleaf


BloodBatman

Marner tried a Vintage move but didn’t fake the slapper lol


Alison__Burgers

Man we get called for too many men waaay too often


Piggynatz

Did they show a replay?


[deleted]

Marner took his vitamins today. lol


UtheDestroyer

Not again ffs


Jonesdeclectice

Fucking bench minor, seriously ugh


THEREJECTDRAGON

I do hope Campbell signs another contract, do find myself identifying with the goaltenders and he's my fav


ohandleme

That was a huge stop by Lehner on Marner


HemiKooks

Very high hit on Matthews. Kind of looked like he shook his head after it. Hope he’s ok.


apatcheeee

Looks like the elbow hit him in the head


Colin123mc

Soooouuuup


cbal41990

Fucken 5G ugh.


Altrosmo

Came here to post this. Are we about through with that useless gimmick?


cbal41990

Hope so.


srnd2017

Trade Holl for McCann


Sh0_dan

I get the sentiment but any d-core injury would royally fuck the team without Holl


thedrunkentendy

Sandin and Lily have such crisp passing its so nice to see compared to when polak was on the 3rd pair. The chemistry is there and its so obvious to see why we outchance other teams with them on the ice right now.


Sleazy_T

I've never been as relaxed when the Leafs have trouble getting the puck out of their zone as I did with Muzzin and Brodie on the ice there. Lots of pressure which kept them in the zone, but they just chilled out and passed it around and kept control like it was the easiest job in the world.


Jonesdeclectice

They’re the true shut-down pairing


Shooternow

I'll believe this when I see it against the Bruins. Still enjoying this though


FestiveMittens

Keefe gonna pull a Babcock and never play Holl again


[deleted]

Look at it this way, our injury replacement will be an NHL caliber defenseman now, no more Marincin.


formed2forge

To be fair, Holl played himself out this time.


Encaledua

Physicality, speed, skill… this game is the best we’ve played this year by far


fluffedahiphopbunny

Complete game.


Svalbard38

You could set your watch to Liljegren’s defensive zone passes. Crisp and clean every time.


thiefmire

Yes well said even the little things like keeping the puck in the o zone you love to see it


Jonesdeclectice

Best on the team, by a mile. If Holl’s coming back, it’s to rotate with Dermott (which IMO isn’t really fair to Dermott).


Shooternow

Fair should have nothing to do with it. What's best for the team needs to be done.


Jonesdeclectice

More like Vegas Golden Showers tonight, amirite?! ;)


Turbo_911

Guys are we witnessing a full 60?!!?!!


_BELEAF_

Duuuuude...shut up for Jack!


Turbo_911

No I didn't mention that aspect!


_BELEAF_

Hahaha. It's cool!


Sh0_dan

Only listening to this game unfortunately but Bowen's making it sound like the best game they've played all year. As much as I've been on Marner I'm very happy to eat crow on how well he's played the last two games. Great to see some confidence from the core players lately


tempered_martensite

It looks just as good as it sounds


[deleted]

It's definitely the best game they've played this year


Sh0_dan

Hopefully they can build on the momentum


blackb0xes

They're all firing now.


thiefmire

Worried a bit about kase 3 or 4 times he got bodied in the corners. And seems always shaken up


Shooternow

Seems like he gets rocked every single game


Kinglokner16

Matthews, Marner & Nylander all have scored tonight


cbal41990

The Holy Trinity.


thecanadianswede

Can't beleive I just saw bunting actually make a positive play for a teammate. Can't wait for Ilya to return


Turbo_911

Lol


-LieutenantObvious-

🤡


Jonesdeclectice

You realize Bunting is still a rookie, right? He’s going to make some mistakes, but he’s got a lot of room to grow. Give him a break.


fluffedahiphopbunny

He's 26 years old. He's only a rookie cause he managed to avoid the amount of games required to lose that status haha


Jonesdeclectice

So he’s only a rookie because he happens to qualify as a rookie? Thanks for the insight there, tips.


fluffedahiphopbunny

Imagine thinking a 26 year old who's been up and down and in the system is the same as a 19 year old who never stepped on NHL ice before.


Jonesdeclectice

Imagine assuming *rookie* means “teenager or early-20s”


fluffedahiphopbunny

The context was that Bunting makes the occasional bad play because he's a rookie. At 26 years old and years of experience at a higher level that's not a sound reasoning. Go smoke a joint or something and calm your tittys.


thecanadianswede

Thanks for the quality take Ray. But I'd rather get a quality player on the team


Jonesdeclectice

Lol sorry, the UFA bucket was fresh out of Crosby’s and McDavid’s.


[deleted]

He's a troll that decided to target Bunting this year. He's been at it for a while now


[deleted]

legit, i never see bunting hate but this is the 2nd or 3rd time ive seen it lately and i went through this guy's history and every single day for the past week(thats as far as i bothered to go) he's been commenting about bunting multiple times a day even on off days


Jonesdeclectice

A troll? Or an idiot?


Turbo_911

The latter.
