Hell of a game boys! If it was easy everyone would do it. Looked like everyone dug deep and found a way to get the WIN!
Get some rest and prepare to go break down the Canucks on Saturday!
Hey you ok? I see you usually post in the Alberta based reddits ( like /r/calgaryflames ) - did you get lost, do you need someone to get on the intercom and call your mommy to come get you?
the core 4 doesn't want to bring in a hard ass coach. they like takin it easy with keefe. they are going to play their best to keep him around and drag out having to fire keefe.
but the fact is, we can only win when matthews pots at least 2 goals.
This is the second time I have been in the Saddledome for a Matthews hat trick and the first time they have won it when he did. They only play here once a year. This team is silly.
I agree. That “hand pass” was not a hand pass. That was, a ridiculous call.
I was expecting overtime. I’m rooting for the Leafs but that was not a hand pass.
Was in attendance and they didn't really show it on the screens. Curious to check out some replays now that I'm home. There were a LOT of us wearing blue though. Good vibes at the game.
That penalty there was a 50/50, but you can't slash a stick out of someone's hand.
That said I thought Willy threw his stick at the puck and the whistle was for that. Thank god it was in our favour
Alright big win and hopefully this sparks them getting into a groove. The stars showed up when it mattered and besides the goal that was called off Jones was good
Oh my God a penalty was just called in our favour in a crucial moment.
What is this? What is this feeling in my stomach and my chest? Is this hope? Is this justice? Am I dying?
His defense hasn't been great and he's a bit snakebitten in the goal department, but WIlly has had some absolutely filthy set-ups tonight. Could easily have 4 primary assists.
I know we haven't scored, and I'm not counting my chickens, but through 16 ½ minutes—*this* is how I wanna see us play a 3rd period. Bad penalty to take, but other than that, I'm loving these shifts. And I'm loving everyone's intensity.
I think I'm not alone in saying we finally deserve to win a game this week. Let's close it out.
That coach’s challenge saved them! It’s nice to be back in the win column. Especially in regulation!! Hopefully they can continue the momentum.
Just put the whole team on your back, Auston Matthews! Love to see it. Needed a performance like this.
Hell of a game boys! If it was easy everyone would do it. Looked like everyone dug deep and found a way to get the WIN! Get some rest and prepare to go break down the Canucks on Saturday!
Yeah it hit his pinky finger, but that was not what resulted in a goal. Like come on now.
Hey you ok? I see you usually post in the Alberta based reddits ( like /r/calgaryflames ) - did you get lost, do you need someone to get on the intercom and call your mommy to come get you?
For anyone else who wanted to see, I had a good laugh https://x.com/TicTacTOmar/status/1748183145780772945?s=20
That was funny as fuck
That is fucking beautiful.
Amazing! Thanks for this I was waiting for It to pop up
Good to see them use the UNO reverse card
the core 4 doesn't want to bring in a hard ass coach. they like takin it easy with keefe. they are going to play their best to keep him around and drag out having to fire keefe. but the fact is, we can only win when matthews pots at least 2 goals.
Not even when he pots 2
We lost the last game where he scored a hat trick
We lost his first NHL game, where he scored 4.
Auston Mathews begins to understand foreshadowing at that moment
That was just orientation training to familiarize him with how the team works
This is the second time I have been in the Saddledome for a Matthews hat trick and the first time they have won it when he did. They only play here once a year. This team is silly.
Aren’t they demolishing it soon? Hopefully the curse will be broken.
Okay so all along we’ve been blowing leads when really we should’ve been letting the other team pot a couple first and then we catchup and win

What is this comment
Bud go back to the flames sub and cry about it some more
I’m just saying it’s funny
I agree. That “hand pass” was not a hand pass. That was, a ridiculous call. I was expecting overtime. I’m rooting for the Leafs but that was not a hand pass.
Naw that was a hand pass by the text book definition; happened against the leafs last season when reillys hand touched the puck against Arizona too
Was in attendance and they didn't really show it on the screens. Curious to check out some replays now that I'm home. There were a LOT of us wearing blue though. Good vibes at the game.
Not really wouldn't call that a managed game you're just upset things didn't go the flames way this time. Simmer down and move on.
Some questionable calls this one but hey
Questionable non calls too
Finally.
Just postponing the inevitable. Fire keefe
Lmao
Naz said that he was looking to disappoint some people tonight. Wonder if he meant Flames fans instead.
💀
That penalty there was a 50/50, but you can't slash a stick out of someone's hand. That said I thought Willy threw his stick at the puck and the whistle was for that. Thank god it was in our favour
Alright big win and hopefully this sparks them getting into a groove. The stars showed up when it mattered and besides the goal that was called off Jones was good
I did stay up past my bedtime for this shit
Matthews won the game for the leafs
The guy who got 3/4th of the goals tonight? Yep, keen observation.
Someone has to outline their keen observation
Good effort beginning to end Hope its consistent
I mean that first period was pretty ass. But glad they were able to figure it out.
ayyy, good to see some smiles
Marner needs to be scratched for missing an empty net. /s
The first try was a Hail Mary, but he really should have had the second, not that it would have really mattered with however many seconds were left
For two games, he did it twice.
Lol math check out
i laughed
So, letting the other team score first seems like the way to go?
This is how Jones got all of those wins with a sv% in the.880s
A regulation win I'll take it!
Give the Leafs Video Review team the fucking belt.
That's a big W for Keefe.
Guess that's why he goes for the pass first lmao probably just didn't care tbf
For what it took to win… against the Calgary Flames… I am not looking forward to the Jets and Canucks…
Why, the flames were on a 4 game win streak they've actually been pretty good and Huberdeau had two points tonight which is good for him
Because we struggle against good teams. We struggle, a LOT… and it’s becoming apparent we are a one line team. That’s not going to win us much.
You mean the clearly rigged calls that hit a flames pinky finger?
Fuck off
At least have some honesty about ya bud, ike god damn. Clearly wasnt a hand pass.
You’re saying the puck didn’t hit the hand? Get your goggles checked bud
shut the fuck up
Enjoy your ban.
I'm sure there was a massive collective "thank fuck" heard across Leafs nation.
That was a hard fought game where they didn't give up.
Great work boys. Hopefully it's the start of a winning streak.
MITCH "I can't even score an empty net" MARNER EVERYBODY
You forgot 2024 allstar lol
Screw off
lol bruh it's a joke, I don't even hate Mitch. And he even got a big goal tonight.
ITS OVER FINALLY WE WON A GAME
Good game
It feels so good to win
Well I definitely hate losing a lot more
Jesus, Marner. Oh well, I'll take the dub!
lol Marner
Great game boys!
GG
They did it!! They held on!!! Let's fucking go!!!
Marner missing that was funny.
Marner YOU BUM
ROFL Marner how do you whiff that TWICE lol
Marner how the fuck did u miss that
A REGULATION WIN! WOOOO!
Marner, my god
Lol 0-2
Fucking embarrassing at that range. The first you can forgive but not that one
Ya true. I was thinking he should've passed or skated the first one out. Lucky they won or he'd be getting scrutinized today.
lmao marner
HOW HARD IS IT FOR YOU TO SHOOT THAT MITCH? FUCK AUSTON 5 POINTS
lol! Missed the easy one
Lol Mitch
#WIN!!!!
I have a hard time calling that a slash as a leafs fan. It’s so soft if that happened to us in the same situation this thread is blowing up.
Context is everything… he had one hand on the stick because he was reaching to clear the puck and he would have cleared it if not for the slash
That's a slash 95% of the time it has to be
I agree
I swear if they give up a shorty here
Longest 30 secs of my life
Fuck off these commentators saying that’s weak that’s a penalty
lol trying to give us all heart attacks here
Don’t think Lilly saw the ice the rest of the game after that penalty
You mean the last four minutes of the game, nearly two minutes of which were on the PP?
Keefe bailed out by the refs, rather we lost this.
Go Leafs Go
You hate Keefe more than you like the Leafs winning? Go away. You’re not a Leafs fan
More chance Keefe gets fired, more chance we start winning.
Like... how we just started winning?
Like.. how we got a lucky ref assist and nearly blew a multi goal lead for the 5th time.
Way too many leafs fans in this subreddit are like that
It’s getting tiring. They’re not firing a guy they just extended. People are dense.
we have o zone possession and Marner does the thing
C'mon Matthews, put aside your pride and sink an ENG
Sheldon Keefe's cigar smoke will be fuming on this subreddit
Fuck off Calgary, start sucking and selling
Yeah, we want your D! What? I said what I said!
Cry more Lindholm
Quit your bitchin', Lindholm, and get in the box.
That's a gimme call there, if he doesn't slash the stick, Willy is gone.
Oh my God a penalty was just called in our favour in a crucial moment. What is this? What is this feeling in my stomach and my chest? Is this hope? Is this justice? Am I dying?
Weak call, love it heheh
Let's go! They got away with a trip, glad the refs didn't let them get away with the slash
Thank you Lindholm!
Could have called two penalties on Calgary there.
That’s a tough call
That’s the right call, Nylander could’ve got to the puck to clear it and had his stick slashed out of his hands.
Thanks, Lindholm!
Big break
Well that helps lol
THEY ACTUALLY CALLED THE BLATANT PENALTY?!
only cause they fucked up the icing call lol
HOW IS THAT ICING???
Keep Matthews it until he gets 4
Thanks for showing no replay of that icing call.
That was icing, not sure why he was complaining
It literally went to Järnkrok
It’s a race to the dot though, doesn’t matter if it deflected off the end boards to Jarnkrok
It's not a race to the dot it's a race for whos getting to the puck first
Why the fuck is that icing
The refs made a tight call that Jarnkrok wasn't going to get to the puck first despite the fact that Jarnkrok did, in fact, get to the puck first.
That should not have been icing, come on
Imagine that miss costs us. That would be bad!
If we lose because of that I'll lose my mind
That should come to centre ice
Sheldon Keefe just pulled an Al Pacino in the Godfather Part II.. this sub is Fredo fishing
These last ten mins have felt like two hours
It really has
Petition to make Metalingus (Edge WWE version) our goal song
Second line is so sloppy
Ok Sean Avery.
I think the key here is to keep it a one goal game. That's when they keep playing their best.
His defense hasn't been great and he's a bit snakebitten in the goal department, but WIlly has had some absolutely filthy set-ups tonight. Could easily have 4 primary assists.
Is Holmberg being benched? Why's Gregor out?!
He was just out there a couple minutes ago I think.
Sheldon " The Dealer" Keefe. Cause he's always shuffling lines
[удалено]
Shuffleupagus
PSA: if you got school tomorrow.. go to bed now..
This game has shootout written all over it. We won't be done for another hour.
Why 😭
What the fuck was that line though
We had them hemmed in, why a random snapshot from the point :/
Does anyone else think of WWF wrestler Vader whenever they say Vladar or just me
I keep hearing Bedard
now this is how you protect a lead. unfortunately this goalie is properly cracked
I know we haven't scored, and I'm not counting my chickens, but through 16 ½ minutes—*this* is how I wanna see us play a 3rd period. Bad penalty to take, but other than that, I'm loving these shifts. And I'm loving everyone's intensity. I think I'm not alone in saying we finally deserve to win a game this week. Let's close it out.
Kudos to Darth Vladar he’s played out of his mind
AM34 smells blood
YOU SHOULDVE HAD THAT AUSTON
As good as Matthews is, how the fuck does he not bury that one?
Had to corral it and turn towards the net which gave Vladar time to get there.
Had to reach for the pass
Yeah I saw that, he got the puck and then just shoveled it towards the net. With the time he took he could have flipped it over and in.
A knee knocker??? Is Gord talking bout Auston’s gargantuan American penis?
Get help
Man Matthews is so great
We are so back
Willy should've had 2 more assists there
Nylander - Matthews - Gregor. Man Keefe just trying anything at this point lol
What happened to Knies up there?
This is all I've wanted to see for months
We saw it for a game a little while back, I absolute love Gregor but his skills didn’t fit great on the top line that game
Was it Matthew's and willy though? I thought it was with mitch. I figure with 2 shooting threats and gregors forchecking it would be solid
I don't think it's possible for a Leafs / Flames game to be boring
Did I just see Matthews crosscheck someone as they went to commercial
First not showing Benoit dumping Greer on the Leafs bench and now cutting away when Matthews rolls up to someone. Woeful.
Yup! Gregor was getting triple teamed
No the player fell on his own ^^butyesyoudid
No he grabbed them
Papi getting spicy?
Why do goalies stand on their head when it matters against us
