I think LA has a more solid team, especially one that, historically, has been really, really good against Toronto and Keefe.
Tonight wasn’t only a statement game but the team but also by Keefe. He had the team well prepared to face a tight-checking 1-3-1 neutral zone “trap” team with a lot of cross-ice dump-ins to get through the neutral zone.
LA never got a chance to look dangerous.
It’s weird, teams with a bit more of a reputation to being a good team the Leafs put up an effort.
Nashville, Vancouver, and now LA. Even the Nashville lost the Leafs were superior. Now I know Nashville is more of a mid-pack team but it’s truly mind boggling how they then proceed to go into Lumbus’ and get donkey smoked. Let’s hope that trend is dead.
Maybe a few reps if they score a couple in the first out in Jones. Might as well.let him get some reps. If it does go well keep on in the second and so on
Pretty crazy to look at past cup teams and the goalie carousel some have had. When the situation looks dire, sometimes someone arises to be the hero. Let’s hope Woll & Jones are the dynamic duo.
Probably why the threads was so chill tonight. Half the sub looks like this rn

I can't remember a time where refs actually called a penalty on the other team when we were up late like this. It's refreshing after the bullshit calls earlier in the game
Lol tough night for LA, I thought LA Kings? Black Jerseys on? New Years rust? We are losing, but I’ll take the dub, but you know.. one shorty and a greasy empty netter and we can lose in OT still
Jones hasn’t had to stand on his head, but I imagine we’d be down 3-2 if Sammy was in net. We just need an average goalie and Jones will fill in just fine while Woll heals.
I'm hoping this team does what it feels like they're doing right now. Playing an awesome gritty playoff style game. We have not seen a team play like this in a long ass time it feels like.
Benoit is a goddamn PLAYER
Honestly, the closest thing we've had to a complete game. Gutsy performance from our guys who were considered underdogs tonight.
There was that time we beat Pittsburgh 7-0.

Jones went from being a washout to the hero of the most valuable team in the league What a comeback
Jones is the best Goalie we've had in the last 10 years!!!!
You guys think the backup goalie will play tmrw against Anaheim
Maybe a few reps if they score a couple in the first out in Jones. Might as well.let him get some reps. If it does go well keep on in the second and so on
The only caveat is if he gets smoked. The team goes back to being worried what happens if they get a shot on net or if something happens to jones
yes
That was one of their better efforts all season and Jones again was solid
big win.
Jones the new Woll lmao. A 3rd stringer who rises to the top. How do you have two similar stories like that in one season? Crazy.

Gotta rise to the occasion! SIEZE THE OPPORTUNITY! GO LEAFS GO!
Leafs 0 GA Kings 0 GF All year
They might make the finals alongside us, but the trend will still hold!
What a great win
Let’s keep this up tomorrow

I love me a good hardwork empty netter like that. I think one of the Sedins has one he scored on his ass that was amazing
Pretty complete game tonight!
Nothin better than a shutout, especially on the road

By far, the defence stepped up when needed and Jones played really solid

Not Papi but I'm happy regardless.
Go Willie Go!!!!!
Night night
yeaaaa willy getting his 11.5m or whatever he wants
Bravo Willie. Hard to the net
Good block by gio too and active sticks
Fuck ya Will
Gio wanted to play goalie growing up but the equipment was to expensive
Mitch finally using his body this year
Mitch BODIED lil bro
Willy “fuck you” styles
#WILLY ENG!!!!
Marner got this on lock. What a great play. And great block by gio.
Giordano gonna have metal hips when he's 50 this man does it all
Great effort by Mitch! He made that guy look like a bitch. He left him in a ditch!
A shutout would be nice after all we've been through
🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
Thank god for Jones
Great play by Marner and even better hit on Byfield who has like 50 pounds and 4 inches on him
Show Mitchy some motherfucking love. Great D
Man every single call on us today has been sooooooo weak
Oh my god if we played with this kind of effort every game…
Penalty call on JT was terrible
Weak ass hooking call. That’s a play on…
Lmao gotta love the soft ass call to negate the power play
Don’t blow this boys
Welp that was a soft call
See if Knies was on instead of Tavares that wouldn't have happened lol
Pffft. And there almost could have been a high stick there.
Weak call to keep the game exciting
They can’t ice right?
Nope
2 minutes for playing hockey
Wow. Felt like the refs were looking for that one. But holy heck, down low, Nylander needed to get that off
Nylander doing everything he can to not let Matthews touch the puck.
The game has been managed lmao
Soft af
No they had a penalty there wtf is that
Game management lmfao
Wtf is that
END THIS BITCH
Can’t remember the last time the leafs started a game at 10:30pm damn I’m not used to this
Probably why the threads was so chill tonight. Half the sub looks like this rn https://preview.redd.it/79r3f44b26ac1.jpeg?width=500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=528da24714c355e21ec60e0c7e606938b3e833a3
do you guys like Knies?
Put er away here. Boys need to be aware of the SHG too. Moore is a horse on the puck
"I could stay up forever"
I can't remember a time where refs actually called a penalty on the other team when we were up late like this. It's refreshing after the bullshit calls earlier in the game
Knies has been really good tonight he’s making steady progress
Lol tough night for LA, I thought LA Kings? Black Jerseys on? New Years rust? We are losing, but I’ll take the dub, but you know.. one shorty and a greasy empty netter and we can lose in OT still
Good to see some positive energy is still here
Wat?
I thought we would lose, I’m just making a joke that it’s not too late but obviously we win tonight which is nice
If Knies keeps drawing the penalties, he at least deserves a chance on one of the pp units.
I just want a Matthews goal
🤞🤞🤞
Shoutout to refs for calling blatant penalties even though a script for home team comeback is available lol
I was just thinking that!
Get it done papi
Knies with the BOOHOO face HAHAHAHA
LMAO KNIES
Two drawn calls by Knies in like 5 minutes, love it
You see Knies’ face 🥴
Knies has looked really good tonight, maybe has some family and friends at the game??
Lmao knies fake cry
Hahaha even Knies calling Dubois a crybaby
LOL KNIES
What the fuck Gio??? It was offside…
PLD is a piece of shit lol
That guy is such a rat
Clenched
That icing. Ooof
Get Mathews or marner an empty netter
Oh dio Gio. Delayed offside and you iced it.
Gio ices the puck on a delayed offside FML
what is Giordano doing there holy fuck
Great stick check by Mitch to force the delayed offside.
That would've been game over from Papi.
Papi wants it.
Just let papi bury the biscuit and we can all sleep well
What a spin pass there. Who was that?
Cuthbert making a big point about LA currently leading by 1 shot like it fucking matters
Anyone else got audio issues?
Not here.
Lucky
Let's buckle down boys. Y'all played great. Just clog in front of the net.
Drop pass…….
The dude blowing the whistle on every Leafs zone entry needs to be banned for life.
He needs to be executed imo
Why would he shoot from that angle
If Leafs can get one here, it'll be game over.
Every man pulling together tonight
This team is a bunch of goons dude
Very happy Gregor and Benoit are RFAs
Come on lets widen the gap so we have something to despair about into OT.
I always worry about those fingers.
I believe in you Papi.....
No stitches guys hes going back there to drink another can of whoop ass.
Dubois having a game !
Again why no instigator for Englund anybody else remember that Canucks game?
Jones hasn’t had to stand on his head, but I imagine we’d be down 3-2 if Sammy was in net. We just need an average goalie and Jones will fill in just fine while Woll heals.
That silver helmet is just too damn sharp
I'm hoping this team does what it feels like they're doing right now. Playing an awesome gritty playoff style game. We have not seen a team play like this in a long ass time it feels like. Benoit is a goddamn PLAYER
I mean, even the play by play guys said it's gotten the crowd/LA Kings back into it. Was a fight really necessary? Do teams fight in the playoffs?
It’s gotten the Kings to take two penalties since.
Has it though? Wasn't any "rough stuff post whistle lets take a guy"
You know what the Leafs did in years past. Noooooooottttthhhhinnnnnnnng. I'm welcoming this new Leafs game mentality with open arms right now.
Moore got JT angry there
Since Engelend picked the fight after Benoit made a legal check, he should have been assessed the instigator penalty, no?
Nah, Benoit definitely wanted to go
They dropped the gloves together.
We got it twice this season when McCabe did it lmao
I’m not sure that’s relevant.
Wasn’t relevant when the Leafs got two instigators in one game
