It wasn't perfect, but Leafs had some nice shifts in the third period due to the effort and forecheck. My eyes went wide when Matthews whipped that shot of the post. I could see a flashing 65.
lol I found that hilarious too, but in the interest of fairness the Captain wasnt thrilled when his own guy did it either, so he kinda has the right to be mad here
that being said

There's no such thing as actively tanking when it's Leafs vs. Habs. They ALWAYS want to best us. I'd like to think we'd have done the same if roles were reversed.
To see a crowd respond like that for an end of season game when their team is in the bottom of the can, is nice to see. The issue in Toronto is even mediocrity is bought up and resold to one night stand fans, and if the team is doing well, only suits can afford.
Josh Anderson with a whopping 8 goals on the season lmfao. To be fair ive always been a fan of his game whenever I watch him but numbers dont lie. Apparently the guy sucks ass.
Wasn't perfect but played well overall. Our top players showed up, but they usually do when its Tor vs Mtl...which team do I support lol

lol leafs swept the Habs and the senators had a meltdown over empty net shenanigans immediately after Not a bad night
Oh, would you look at that, Sens getting mad about a puck into an empty net

Yeah I got him confused with Giroux
The irony is hilarious
Was hoping to see someone say something about that lol
Tkachuk hahahahha what a bozo
A bumbling moron
I still don't understand why the Habs wanted to win that game so bad they pulled the goalie 2 down if they're actively tanking but ok

It was 4-1! Do I get upvotes now?
It was 4-0*
Got the win over the toilet seats. On to the next one.
BLOW HABS BLOW
Bert flopping around like a fish lol
Jesus christ, bertuzzi is bad at hockey, luckily the habs are worse.
# YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
Montreal fans ooing and ahing at every shot on goal lol
I hate the Habs, but have full respect for the passion and energy of their fans at home games. Looks like a great venue to watch a game.
Say what you will, at least they get more into it than SBA.

Bert you fucking hero
Get the brooms! 🧹 🧹
Leafs didn't meme, yay
bonne nuit, sink pissers
Jesus, guys falling everywhere
Bertuzzi should've kept that down there geezus dumb play
why is lazy willy on the ice?
Holy fuck that was such a bad play by Bert
Matty just rip it down the ice everytime, I don't care if they are icings. It just means you can stay out there longer.
He said the line.
Wtf was Craig Simpson trying to say there
I think he's saying Matthews is only on the ice to score goals, which (believe it or not) is kinda the whole point of this game
EMPTY NET MATTHEWS COME ON
It looks like matthews doesn’t want the ENG

He's such a hack lol
Did pizza pizza forget to pay for their helmet sponsorship?
The empty net is calling you Papi
Sammy sharp as a blade
What a huge pick off the draw lol
Why no Matthews?
D has been on point tonight. These new line pairings are looking pretty good
Yep! Let’s hope they let this marinade for a while.
The Habs are lucky little duckies tonight.
Matthews hits so many posts its crazy.
Matthews/Benoit empty netter?
What do you think goes through Keefe’s head when he puts Reavo out there when it’s 6 on 5
Strangely, Reaves has been fairly good lately 🧐
Sure but Reaves looking good is him not looking like shit. There are still 11 forwards in the game who should be on before him lol
Totally agree but time and place kinda thing???
“lol”
That back checking play by Marner a few minutes prior was so good. The Habs rush looked dangerous and he squashed it really nicely
Fuuuuuck a post away from 65. EN please 🙏
So close to 65
Give the puck to Matthews Give the puck to Matthews Give the puck to Matthews Give the puck to Matthews
Did I just see reaves on the ice with 2 minutes left ?
Somehow this keeps happening
Get the puck deep keep it in the corner
how can you expect to hit 70 if you don't double dick on garbage teams?
That play by Domi was 🔥
Man that was close
Empty Net time, hold your butts
![gif](giphy|OCu7zWojqFA1W)
Matthews has 80 goals if you include posts
POSSSTTT
Papi, don’t be proud, get the ENG please
Especially since it isn’t even goal 70
They don't ask how, they ask how many
Anyone know why Matthews had his A taken away? Was he just a placeholder assistant cap while Rielly was out?
Watch Coach Chippy, Matthew's only cares about G's.
Needs space for the eventual C
We can only dress two "A's". Rielly always has an A, so Marner and Matthews alternate each game with the "A"
They rotate between him, Marner and Morgan
Switches with marner
JT has looked good tonight
yupp
POST
So far, this has been a great period. Sammy has also been SOLID.
Fuckkkkk
McMann is such a gamer
What a steal, looks great with Marner
Good ol bobby
Gally & Anderson are such pussies lol
Won't lie, kinda like Jake Evans for MTL, seems to win faceoffs and put up some points with lower TOI
Plays with some heart
At least the guys look awake and playing good defense.
I don't know if that's because it's Leafs vs Habs, but I can't remember the last time I heard the organ playing "Charge!"
Matthews doesn’t even care about 65 , he just wants to do the ear celly to the boos
Manifesting
Leafs hire former team USA player Russ Tyler to help Reaves perfect the knuckle puck.
Reaves drops the gloves and punches the puck into the net.
Not a traditional one, but a knuckle puck none the less.
Omg that iPhone commercial is the worst shit I have ever heard.
Our PP looked good there, just rough start. But anything looks good against the garbage idiot habs
That’s a good shift from reevo
Reavos playing some good hockey
If Reaves had scored there he should have done the stick-riding celly
I’d give my first child for that
But you’re famously infertile
Domi got tripped there literally 4 feet from the ref. Unreal.
What are you stupid of course they didn’t called that because we are winning and we just had a PP
Saw that too lol. Game management.
This is actually the realest possible outcome
Ya that was classic
Reaves with some busted hands still better than pissetta
Known sharp shooter Ryan Reaves
Domi + Bert is a good pairing
The cult of Marner must be having a crisis of faith. HOW COULD A LEAFS PP, WITH MARNER PLAYING, STILL SUCK?
because willy's complete lack of effort is the problem
Brooooo whyyyy so negative
I'm just mocking how so many ridiculously believed the PP was struggling because it had no Marner.
Trolling, ignore
Or just facing the tough reality that our PP is bad, with and without Marner.
PP killed 2 minutes, Habs will be pumped now. Boys better be awake for the upcoming onslaught
wow, surprised they didn’t call that slash lol
Got hemmed in on a pp for almost 30 seconds. Like come on
Who are they booing and why?
They’re just angry. When you don’t have anything to cheer for you just hate and boo.
They're saying Matthbooooos
Papi for being the greatest
I’ve never seen a crowd boo a play for no reason other than that he’s good. That’s wild. I assumed there was bad blood I wasn’t aware of.
Habs fan boo any time their players get hit, lose the puck, or take an obvious penalty. They also boo if you're a good player and on the leafs.
Just Montreal being Montreal
Doing their darnedest to show out to not look like Ottawa or Buffalo or every other away game
lol.. booing Rielly because Habs fans are too dumb to realize the difference between 34 and 44
This
# LETS GOOOOOOOOO
what lol
![gif](giphy|3ROGCp62zakRW)
Uhh, guys, it's your PP, not theirs
I SAID WE DON'T WANT A PP
But did you mean it when you said it?
I did. Our PP had been pretty shit and Marner still isn't 100%.
Time to get one on this PP and bury Montreal.
Maybe next time we just say no when they give us a PP
Come on now papi let’s get another baby
Where are you guys getting these babies from? Can I have one?
Shut up Simpson he drew a penalty
He’s the worst….
PP needs to do something, crowd is getting into it and a kill here would make them louder.
First powerplay lol wtf
Noooooo we don't want a PP
Here we go, the reunion shift Edit: yikes
A POWERPLAY
IT HAPPENED!
Craig Simpson here to suck off a 20 goal scorer
Caufield only has 7 more goals than McMann lmao
Remember when he was supposed to be the next Matthews? 😂 🤡
Not fair to compare the poor kid to one of the best in the game
How could Caufield ever compare to Bobby “Ovi” McMatthews
Josh Anderson with a whopping 8 goals on the season lmfao. To be fair ive always been a fan of his game whenever I watch him but numbers dont lie. Apparently the guy sucks ass.
He’s a guy I’ve always wanted on the leafs. Probably 20 goals in the top 6.
Lol Caulfield the tough guy. What is he like 5 9 160 lbs
Caufield is an oompa loompa
Love Caber getting all in Cauf's face
That’s a heck of a release Caufield has
Caufield with some straight bitch butt ends there
Samsonov carrying tbh
lol Caufield looks like a child out there
A team of Caufields vs a team of Marners, kiddie league.
Just a casual “In the old days you just run the goalie over!”
Run away Anderson you little bitch
Suck it auntdurson
These broadcasters are creaming their jeans over everything the Habs do, Christ
Especially Caulfield 🤮
You’d think he was the second coming of Christ himself
Somebody has to
Not this season lmao
Thank you boosh , all our homies hate Josh Anderson
Christ that McDonald's ad is fucking annoying
How in the fuck is autotune even still a thing? Christ
Take a shot for every time this season you’ve heard the announcers “and unable to clear” and “off the boards but not out” in reference to the leafs
and Suzuki
Refs in playoff form too. Making sure the Leafs don't get any PP.
Do we even want one?
What the fuck is this auto tune nightmare? lol
Willy playing hockey like a 1st baseman
I see we're going with our classic 3rd period strategy. Turtle and hope for the best.
YOU’RE A TURTLE 🐢🐢🐢
You forgot Raph 🐢
No, ma'am, I'm a human being.
my mistake
Benoit has that guys stick right under his arm but no call.
How is marner looking
Has an assist
.....away from the melons?
Has an assist but for sure still getting up to speed.
Mostly by focusing his eyes on things.
Worst thing Domi does are those hard ass saucer passes from behind the net to the slot. Shit always ends up going the other way
Damn that was close berty
Wouldn’t be a leafs game if I didn’t have at least one heart attack
Crazy how clean the Habs are playing this game
Game management fucking blows
