Thought Primeau did a decent job tonight. Could’ve had 1 maybe 2 goals. Especially that one. #LeafsForever

That’s a slick ENG goal from Matthews to grab the pass mid-air and tuck it quickly. #LeafsForever

Oh that was a pretty passing play between Matthews and Knies. Cowan gets his first career NHL point. #LeafsForever

Love that response coming to Cowan’s defense. Wish they’d do it more when cheap shots are given. #LeafsForever

Bobby McHockey stays with it. What a quick breakout out pass from OEL to start it all. 5 points from the blue line tonight. #LeafsForever

Jake McCabe with a quick snap shot from the point. 1-0. That’s the start the team needed. #LeafsForever

The way Maccelli spots seams and passing lanes is outstanding. Great feed to find Benoit jumping in. #LeafsForever

Rielly getting pucks on net from the point is definitely something I can get behind. Great deflection from Roy for his first. #LeafsForever

Short handed clapper from Nicky Bobby? Are you kidding me? These are the plays you want to see. #LeafsForever

Bad read by Thrun. Really bad look to also give up a goal on the first shot. #LeafsForever

If Nick Robertson could make plays and turn pucks over like that consistently, he wouldn’t have to worry about his spot in the lineup. #LeafsForever

OEL did a good job boxing out Larkin, just let up for one second and boom, puck is in the back of the net. #LeafsForever
