  1. 1st PP barely got a break from the last one.

  2. another_plebeian

    If you check the score app, you can skip like 20-30 seconds of action because it’s way ahead

  3. BravoBet

    Why is Matthews invisible on power plays

    Ovi has his spot

    Drai has his

    Matthews is never in his anymore

  4. HugeeAckman

    Willy’s ability to just instant teleport across the blue line is amazing.

  5. Prometheus1866

    Should be interference in favour of Rielly there.

  6. CasualtyEH

    Trip on Rielly but they will never call that

  7. Murky_Army_4896

    Edmonton got away with a few penalties too

  8. nownowthethetalktalk

    Great first period. Let’s take the same energy into the 2nd and 3rd!

  9. Shooternow

    LOL the one time the first unit should stay out there they change with 30 seconds left in the period

  10. twizzyflyguy

    Great first, but oilers definitely will bring it next period though gotta keep pressing

  11. Barbellion

    Feels like the Leafs have shot the puck from some areas they usually don’t. Has definitely caused some nice chaos leading to good chances.

  12. Beneficial_Put8276

    How is the best goalscorer on the planet impotent on powerplays?

  13. entilza05

    Take away: We’re playing like its the 2d period in the first… Finally

  14. leafman4000

    Ill be the first to admit I thought the edmundson trade was questionable when it happened but goddamn he has looked great tonight

  15. joerph713

    Nurse looks like 10 pounds of shit in a 5 lb bag

  16. Prometheus1866

    Edmunson really does crosscheck his way to victory.

  17. sportsywebe

    What a 1st, boys are dialled in. Just cracked a jumbo bag of mini eggs and they are super fresh, made this week I bet.

  18. LimestoneLeaf

    Edmonton was really skating for the first 6-7 minutes and I was nervous. Once the Leafs started to skate things looked a lot better. Some strong physical play from Edmondson, Benoit, and McCabe. That’s what we need for the playoffs.

  19. Jonesdeclectice

    Edmonton the best team in Canada? Ain’t even the best team in Toronto LOL

  20. inagartenofeden

    Some waitress somewhere ” Willy didn’t tip me like that”

  21. Lobstermashpotato

    Guys why can’t we play like this every game.

  22. botswanareddit

    Like Edmonson. That hit on McDavid on the pk when he was dipsy doodling is what this team needs. I know McCabe provides some of this but Edmonson just adds to that and then some.

  23. The_Dale_Hunters

    Lots of speed tonight from both sides. Love how the Leafs have dialed up the intensity so far.

  24. Brewerycomedynights

    Intermission one adv stats update

    5v5

    TOR 0.54 xG vs 0.22 xGA
    xG% of 71.33%

    All situations
    TOR 1.08 xG vs 0.46 xGA
    xG% 70.01%

    Underlying # matching the eye test. Buds are buzzing

  25. Why wouldn’t Matthews be given an assist on the 2nd goal?

  26. Chtholly13

    A 2-0 lead is not safe against this team, don’t sit back.

  27. jimmymeeko

    Edmundson with a huge period. Benoit bringing some solid physicality. The d core as a whole looked really solid there. Lilly and Timmons with notable plays as well.

  28. fluffedahiphopbunny

    Rielly watching McDavid like Hawk. Never forgot that time he got fucking burned by MCD

  29. daxtaslapp

    Reillys penis minimum 7 inches soft for sure

    Edit: and edmundson

  30. Shooternow

    This game highlights that TJ Brodie should be unplayable in the playoffs. Benoit and Edmundson are the answer to a team like Edmonton. Brodie gets destroyed by McDavid and Draisaitl

  31. DrMansionPHD

    Edmonson tossing Draistatl is something I didn’t know I needed to see

  32. crushade

    I’ve noticed the Leafs have a forward in the middle who they are kicking the puck out to on breakouts and when they’re relieving the offensive pressure in the D-zone. This is a welcome change which can help us not be hemmed in so long.

  33. twizzyflyguy

    Good shit on Eddy for staying on Mcdavid and finishing all checks on him, this is the example he will set for our guys in the playoffs. All checks must be finished on pasta, tkachuk, mcavoy, barkov Reinhart Marchand or any star player
