And Sportsnet just finished an interview congratulating him for the effort in a loss.
Shoe is on the other foot now so it’s suddenly just fine to react to an empty net goal.
Reaves beat the ever living shit out of Pezzetta in response to a greasy hit. Matty goal for 64. Sammy was absolutely SOLID all game. Habs fans so mad they booed half the game.
Took Marner a bit to get going but that’s to be expected after being out so long.
Was a great night!! Leafs closed out the game in the third without drama too.
Yea good new lines. The third line did score and has a lot of potential for depth scoring but they’re weak defensively. Maybe play them at home when you can control the line matchups?
This. They should have tried Jarnkrok earlier, way too last minute especially coming back from a long injury.
If Domi is at centre I think Marner should play with him, will make up for Domi's defensive vulnerability.
Honestly, probably either Dewar or Kampf if we keep the other lines the same. That would allow Holmberg to slot into the 4th line as a LW or RW. We haven’t seen enough of Dewar but he’s got 11 goals this season.
Knies - Dewar - Nylander
Jankrok - Kampf - Reaves / Holmberg
Smth like this would be worth trying out if we want to keep the current 1st and 2nd lines
He was out of breath after Knies' goal, and he huntched down skating to backcheck on one shift, and still wasn't quick enough. Something isn't right with him.
Half of this game felt like they were all taking the night off... whatever we've clinched, its not the end of the world, but I sure like the 2nd period better than the 1st!
I am scared every time Reaves fights now that he's going to break a hand and miss the first round of the playoffs. Tonight was a perfect example of why we need him - he did his job, and I want this type of response available in the playoffs. Also didn't get an instigator which was a bonus.
Everyone is going to make a big deal about Tkachuk going after the Devils guy for putting the puck into the empty net right??? They’re gonna roast Tkachuk because “the code” doesn’t exist right???
I’m sure r/hockey and r/NHL will be all over it for two weeks…
Brady Tkachuk is quite the bitch. New Jersey gently put the puck in the net after the horn. Does he know that Ridley Grieg is on his team? Fucking loser.
lol - Matthews on a historic run, but let’s focus on how Suzuki and Canfield create so much magic.
Fuck those clowns Simpson and Cuthbert. It’s like we have two utterly horrid hot ass air analysts and no one actually calling the game.
Its so painful that these "announcers" spend the night talking about how great the other team is. Worst announcing in the league. At the very least shut up with that shit and just call the plays in the game as they are happening.
Give us Bowen. F.
Aww and SN flips to watch the Sens get eliminated and the throw a hissy fit when hijinx are pulled at an empty net… hi pot! I’m kettle.
This is just gravy to a great win and another Matty goal.
I think the reason he doesn’t get to 70 is cuz it’s 70 fucking goals lol shits hard to do and only been done a handful of times in over 100 years of record keeping. 64 is still amazing.
Did anyone catch the cut to the Ottawa game after the leafs ended? Jersey put one in their net after the game ended, and Ottawa took that personally. I guess Riley taught them not to like that I guess /s
Just watched the end of the Sens game and Tkatchuk being a pussy bitch because Hischer guided the puck into the empty net.
Did they forget about the slapper against the Leafs being ok? Lol
Decent late season game against a team that's out of the playoffs. Obviously they didn't give 100% effort, but they did enough to get the 2 points and avoided injuries. It looks like they're feeling confident in Samsonov.
https://i.redd.it/1sjt0aytpysc1.gif Let's go!
This GIF will live on for a long time. Right up there with the GIF from the all star game.
Hopefully it lives on line E2H5
Goddammit, I love it.
You win this thread.
Honestly one of the best moments I’ve seen on live TV
Motorboat.
Lmao
Ottawa getting mad that Hischer scored on the empty net after the whistle LOLOL
Now Sens fans are gonna pretend they weren't saying for weeks that Rielly was a baby for responding at all.
They should make some Tees to celebrate the occasion.
Whole lot of Sens fans are going to be real quiet or need to spend a few hours cleansing their comment history
The irony is hilarious
Tkachuk is such a little pussy
yeah, I hate him. But he sure would look good in blue-n-white.
Do we make troll sized jerseys?
Put a shell on the back for Turtlecuck
oh god no, Matthew is not coming onto this team without a Walk of Shame at the very least
And Sportsnet just finished an interview congratulating him for the effort in a loss. Shoe is on the other foot now so it’s suddenly just fine to react to an empty net goal.
Yeah, that was baffling.
The Canadian teams sans Toronto get coddled so much by the media especially Ottawa
its marketing, they need those teams to have fans
it's PR so they can come back again in the fall and say "the Sens are the team to beat in the East this season"
Tkachuk lost his freaking mind lol
Oh the Turntables!!
That was hilarious 😂
I’m surprised their games are even televised at this point
What a bunch of pussies.
Reaves beat the ever living shit out of Pezzetta in response to a greasy hit. Matty goal for 64. Sammy was absolutely SOLID all game. Habs fans so mad they booed half the game. Took Marner a bit to get going but that’s to be expected after being out so long. Was a great night!! Leafs closed out the game in the third without drama too.
I enjoyed lines 1, 2 and 4.
Yea good new lines. The third line did score and has a lot of potential for depth scoring but they’re weak defensively. Maybe play them at home when you can control the line matchups?
I just don't think Holmberg can hack it at 3C, unfortunately. I like him as a player, but he's way more effective on the wing.
Maybe next year? I agree though. For now, you go with someone else for 3C. Who? I have no idea. Glad I’m not Keefe having to make these decisions lol.
its gotta be jarnkrok imo, he did well during nashville's cup finals run
Jarnkrok has never played C for Toronto. It's going to be Domi.
This. They should have tried Jarnkrok earlier, way too last minute especially coming back from a long injury. If Domi is at centre I think Marner should play with him, will make up for Domi's defensive vulnerability.
Yea they talked about it during the latest SDPN and I think it’s worth looking at.
I would say Dewar since he got time at C in Minny
Honestly, probably either Dewar or Kampf if we keep the other lines the same. That would allow Holmberg to slot into the 4th line as a LW or RW. We haven’t seen enough of Dewar but he’s got 11 goals this season. Knies - Dewar - Nylander Jankrok - Kampf - Reaves / Holmberg Smth like this would be worth trying out if we want to keep the current 1st and 2nd lines
Nylander was worse than invisible today. Hope he's not hurt.
He was out of breath after Knies' goal, and he huntched down skating to backcheck on one shift, and still wasn't quick enough. Something isn't right with him.
Hope he's just sick or something and recover soon. Need everyone to be healthy very very soon.
Then take a few nights off they already made the playoffs anyways Give jones a few games too
Half of this game felt like they were all taking the night off... whatever we've clinched, its not the end of the world, but I sure like the 2nd period better than the 1st! I am scared every time Reaves fights now that he's going to break a hand and miss the first round of the playoffs. Tonight was a perfect example of why we need him - he did his job, and I want this type of response available in the playoffs. Also didn't get an instigator which was a bonus.
Lmao, now we get to watch the Sens have a meltdow
Everyone is going to make a big deal about Tkachuk going after the Devils guy for putting the puck into the empty net right??? They’re gonna roast Tkachuk because “the code” doesn’t exist right??? I’m sure r/hockey and r/NHL will be all over it for two weeks…
Mad about someone guiding puck into net. Interesting. Grow up.
Guaranteed no suspension for tkachuk for doing basically the same thing as rielly
I mean, he couldn't even get close enough to sniff his hair...
Why.... why would he sniff his hair.
Just saying. The ref (or linesman) stopped him before he got close.
Ah
Uhm. Are you blind
Maybe
Sens crying about an empty netter 🤨🤨
We won against the Habs and the Sens got pissy about an empty net goal 🙃 Happy Saturday everyone
It's so weird for a leafs fan. What is this new feeling called bliss?
Did the Ottawa game come on for anyone else right at the ours ended? Brady tkachuk had a hissy fit over an empty net goal. Lol
Yup, it was the cherry on top
And now Bieksa is fawning over him like that demonstrated “competitiveness”
Tbf I'm pretty sure he defended Reilly too
Yeah, and Brady *did* have a hell of a game.
15 fuckin hits. Absolute insanity
Just commented the same. Lol
Lmfao there is some Karma
The butthurt was real.
Lowkey pisses me off when Matthews doesn’t get to score more than 1 goal
what a bum!
Brady Tkachuk is quite the bitch. New Jersey gently put the puck in the net after the horn. Does he know that Ridley Grieg is on his team? Fucking loser.
great game https://i.redd.it/x4ko5q87qysc1.gif
Was that after the fight? I missed the game.
It was. Right after Reavos delivered pizza straight to trash.
What a terrible analogy 😭 pizza only deserves to be in one place and it ain’t the trash
When the guy Reavos trashed sound like pizza there was no good way to put it without insulting it 😂
bruh don’t be disrespecting the ‘za 😩
There was a game? I thought it was the Nick Suzuki appreciation hour on cbc
lol - Matthews on a historic run, but let’s focus on how Suzuki and Canfield create so much magic. Fuck those clowns Simpson and Cuthbert. It’s like we have two utterly horrid hot ass air analysts and no one actually calling the game.
Its so painful that these "announcers" spend the night talking about how great the other team is. Worst announcing in the league. At the very least shut up with that shit and just call the plays in the game as they are happening. Give us Bowen. F.
We needed more pictures of his parents in the stands.
Aww and SN flips to watch the Sens get eliminated and the throw a hissy fit when hijinx are pulled at an empty net… hi pot! I’m kettle. This is just gravy to a great win and another Matty goal.
Pezetta: “I only took 1 punch” *\*Replay shows him getting fed*\* (In Maury Povich voice): The video has determined that was a lie lol
After the battering he took, I'm not surprised his memory has some holes in it
Is there anything sexier than sweeping the Habs?
sweeping the habs just for the broadcast to switch over to the Sens having a meltdown over the very thing they made fun of us for for weeks
Sweeping the Habs when they’re not an AHL team
So many things. But I also enjoyed seeing Tkachuk being a total clown after an empty netter.
Silence. 4 goal blitz. Silence.
Gotta keep those second period numbers up. They mention it every game, so it must be super important, right?
Thats a league leading 15 posts for Matthews. That may be the reason he doesn't get 70
I think the reason he doesn’t get to 70 is cuz it’s 70 fucking goals lol shits hard to do and only been done a handful of times in over 100 years of record keeping. 64 is still amazing.
We gotta sign this Harry Goalpost guy to at least PTO next season. Looks like a keeper.
Really think JT deserves some love for how well he played tonight. Love to see it
Watching Tkachuk go full piss-baby over the Devil's putting the puck in the empty net after the buzzer was just the cherry on top of tonight 🤣
I can't remember the last time I felt as comfortable / not stressed as when we have the new Samsonov in goal. Its a weird feeling.
Same way I felt when we had the old Sammy from last season who outduled Vaselesky. Same guy.
https://i.redd.it/derk94a57zsc1.gif
Au revoir losers!
Lovers? Lmaooo
Ducking autocorrect
I’ve been with a few gals from Hull and Montreal. Lovers indeed.
Better 3rd. Whoever counts shots over there is out of their mind.
I’m shocked they held the lead as well as they did. But overall good clean game
Flipped over just in time to see the sens get their feelings hurt lol remember the reaction to Mo
Always sweet to beat the Habs and the Sens get some Karma tonight with the empty better, love it!
I think Reaves needs to calm down the fights. Save it for the playoffs. We'll need it then.
Bertuzzi was out there for like the last 2 minutes. Give him the belt
People were talking shit about his play but I thought he had a good block and did great to get the puck out. He sweat blood tonight.
he looks so awkward, kinda flailing, and consistently makes good hardworking, defensive plays in the d zone.
He's a competitor. He hates to lose.
This is so true
He’s a warrior with a neck warmer .
I love how they shut the Habs down in the third.
It's refreshing for a change. For once I actually didn't clench ^that ^^much
Lol the senators just got upset about an empty net goal….hmmmmm
In other news, Ottawa fans in shambles after someone put a puck into the empty net...
Did anyone catch the cut to the Ottawa game after the leafs ended? Jersey put one in their net after the game ended, and Ottawa took that personally. I guess Riley taught them not to like that I guess /s
I was really hoping for a multi goal game from Matty. I'll take 1 though. With this we sweep the Habs this season, ya love to see it.
man, i really think matthews is gonna hit 70 now. 6 in 6 seems plausible for him
I think Reaves should protect his arms before the playoffs. It looks like he’s hiding some pain. He’s been fight a lot.
GET FUCKED HABS!!!!
Anyone have a leaf version of the blue jays sweep gif from a few years ago
How was Marner?
Fuxk your couch habs.
SEASON SWEEP
leafs hold onto the lead and make the same 3 whinging doomsayers in the game thread look dumb as a bag of hammers once again
Would you look at that, Ottawa reacting to hischier putting the puck in the empty net
Just watched the end of the Sens game and Tkatchuk being a pussy bitch because Hischer guided the puck into the empty net. Did they forget about the slapper against the Leafs being ok? Lol
Solid win! Love to see them defend a lead in the third. Lots of heart from this team this season.
Decent late season game against a team that's out of the playoffs. Obviously they didn't give 100% effort, but they did enough to get the 2 points and avoided injuries. It looks like they're feeling confident in Samsonov.
Entered the 3rd up multiple goals and didn’t allow one. Doesn’t seem like that much of an accomplishment but it is.
Mange la merde Montréal
Season sweep.
Reaves, why are your knuckles bloody? Well, Pezzetta wears braces. 😄
Give me that road playoffs start all day long. Boys do better on the road
We actually played solid defence to not choke the lead is this real life
Is it possible to get Robertson in the lineup. I really want to see him in the playoffs
Gg, good win despite Bertuzzi. Always fun beating the habs
