You just GOTTA SEE IT, SPORTSNET

 

[Preston]

Is it just me or does it seem like Zeke is getting absolutely wrecked every day lately?

no other fanbase deals with this shit.

Lately?

It would be maddening if it didn't expose them so nakedly.

 

[Preston]

Lately?

Fair enough. We may need to plan an intervention though. I'm worried about him.

It was a huge goal, but still not sold on Barrie. Can’t imagine giving him $6m or $7m long term like some team will.

If there’s one thing I think we’ve screwed up this year is not working one of Sandin or Lilly into the lineup. If one of them was killing it, we could trade off Ceci for something, or maybe even Barrie. Say STL finds out they can’t resign Pietrangelo but can resign Barrie, that could make for an interesting decision on their part, though likely not with all the negative press Barrie has attracted so far.

Teeds is wondering why he’s so fired up.

In fairness, I’m guessing they posted that before the comeback?

 

[BeLeafer]

He'll likely have a little withdrawal from the holiday break but the Leafs will be back soon enough with another fix.

 

[Feyd]

I can watch this over and over though. Especially the go-ahead goal by Marner. Crazy energy.

Someone needs to start a petition to get Joe in the booth for the playoffs.

Why can't we have this???

Yeah, twitter petition.

My whole day has been burned watching this game and rewatching the highlights. Jesus fucking Christ what a game.

Wait until you realize the Raptors are holding a tight 4th quarter lead and are on the cusp of winning back to backs against 2 really good teams...without Pascal, Marc, or Norm.

This is a loose pants 24 hours for a Toronto sports fan.

 

[MindzEye]

Marner almost destroyed Mrazek's career there. Dude tried to change directions twice while holding the splits, he's lucky he didn't die.

No, I don't think he is.

Mirtle: Why the Maple Leafs have been so much better under Sheldon Keefe

After 15 games, the Leafs have been the most dangerous offensive team in the NHL under their new coach.

“The other thing I talked to our team about in the third period is just that we haven’t played from behind very much here in quite a while. We were just talking about kind of enjoy that: Enjoy playing from behind, have fun with that, let’s see what we can do here. That’s part of the growth as well.”
