"team win i enjoy" -Nikita Grebenkin Agreed!

[@Freedom-33]

He has a good vibe

[@avurfav]

he’s so real for that

[@Alexdenomme]

As I get older I start to love these young bucks more than the stars. I love seeing these kids have their dreams unfold in front of their eyes.

[@next-genleap3533]

Grebenkin's got the fundamentals down pat. "Backcheck, forecheck and paycheck" 😂

[@ryangiordano4949]

Back check, forecheck, paycheck 😂

[@bubby9175]

Giant beaut.

[@chrisg1556]

Famous Letterkenny line.

[@vazken9178]

That was great 😂

[@vazken9178]

You’re doing great kid! 👍🏼

[@Scottchy12]

Instant classic!

[@NoBrakesForJake]

No one talking about JT getting his hands dirty for the boys tonight? What an absolute gem Tavares has been.

[@lzrdwzrd999]

Was just saying earlier that he must've been a wrestling champ in school, he's had several very nice throws recently. I'm loving grumpy JT

[@johngallagher72]

re up him 8 years at $13.5 mill ...just joking ...all kidding aside he's been great

[@bw6078]

Absolutely.

[@bowler9749]

JT showing why he's been a leader....

[@worldswatchdog]

Agreed. His best start in 2 or 3 yrs.

[@canadianroot]

This Grebenkin kid was a factor every shift. Like a dog on a bone, great vision, hustle, his stick was in everybody’s business the whole time, chirping guys, just around the puck like a magnet. He’s a beauty!

[@johnsummerhill8323]

A bit more time with the Marlies and he will be ready to contribute where others are not.

[@canadianroot]

@@johnsummerhill8323 I think so too, John. He's got a lot of heart, and is still young. He looks like he's got all the tools to be a top flight player. Here's hoping he gets up here sooner rather than later. Our secondary scoring has been abysmal.

[@johnsummerhill8323]

@@canadianroot I think he and Minten could be regulars by February. A lot will depend on what the injury situation is and how easily they can make room for them . Injured players are going to be given time to show they can contribute.

[@canadianroot]

@@johnsummerhill8323 While Kampf is generally reliable, he's about as dynamic as a lawn ornament, and as much as I love the water bug act that is Robertson, he just doesn't have enough jam (falls down a lot), and will probably get eaten alive in the playoffs. Domi is confounding. I don't think he's worth even half his salary, and he makes as many bad plays as good ones. Minten was miles different than what we saw last time around, albeit in a one game sample size. He seemed way more confident and relaxed. He was keeping it simple, but also moving his feet, and seemed to have awareness beyond his years. Love his hockey IQ.

[@johnsummerhill8323]

​@@canadianrootKamph has a lot of defensive skill so I will be surprised if he is moved. Robertson puzzles me. He should be a lot better. Seems to have lost his confidence.Reaves is a guy that really does not help a lot. Domi will be ok in the long run. He was effective in the back half of last year. Trades will be determining factors in terms of spots for the young guys.

[@WalkableBulb905]

Really liked Grebenkin and Minten's game tonight. Willy was great, and Woll was outstanding. As for the Knies hit, this league is a joke and inconsistent. Hope he's okay and back in no time

[@bluewaveshows4u]

Grebenkin was chirping Vegas all night long: “You will lose!”…”I must break you!”… “You’re dead!”…and then after they beat Vegas, in the post game, he said:” Tonight, I beat real champion!” What a beauty!👍

[@johngallagher72]

If he dies .. he dies ...Drago

[@Purrepur]

Grebenkin is gonna be a menace in the playoffs. Can’t wait

[@DaaaaaBears]

Yeah don’t see how he won’t be sticking around there’s a few guys in bottom 6 useless compared to his game

[@MH-gh1oe]

2:31 “backcheck, forecheck, paycheque”. words to live by!

[@tjp4342]

I hope Nikita Grebenkin made enough of an impact to get another look in the NHL. His energy and hitting the body was nice to see against Vegas.

[@shakrmakr]

Grebenkin is such a beauty lol

[@bubby9175]

Giant beaut.

[@dexb000]

Haha fuck ya, I like him!

[@tonytaranto7886]

He looked good... didn't look out of place at all 👍

[@EminemDaGoat]

Grebenkin is a legend already

[@Thiera1989]

I think Grebenkin is going be an easy fan favorite if he ever cracks the lineup permanently. What a beauty!

[@robweeks1453]

The great thing about Sports is it shows wat the real world is about. Its all about working together as a team and it doesn't matter if you are from the US, Canada, Russia, Europe. It shows the same thing we know that the real people of all the worlds countries are like - peaceful and willing to help out their fellow man.

[@tonytaranto7886]

I think Willy has been taking the bull by the horns for this team... what a beauty. Always loved this guy

[@1313skr]

Can barely speak English, but clearly a happy kid, big day for him, congrats on ur first game grebby!

[@BradfromMars13]

Tarps off for Willy. He's got his swagger back. LFG! Great team win. Good to see the kids play.

[@ScreaminT81]

🤣🤣🤣🤣 Grebenkin what a guy, that laugh is crackly and villain energy. He definitely had the humor. If they keep him up, he’ll be an asset, and a nuisance. Excellent 😈

[@Michael-on4ti]

lol Grebenkin, great stuff tonight

[@bw6078]

Loved how the new kids kept up tonight. Absolutely loved Grebenkin. Everyone loves a fight until they get punched in the face. Hopefully he carries the same personality after a good fight. I think he has it in him.

[@Goldminer63]

Minten not only had his first goal, but it was also the game winner.

[@robertflood552]

WIllie has stepped up his game in a significant way!

[@AngryPrimate]

He's been this good for quite a few years now

[@Gergentine]

This. He's been the model of consistency for the leafs the last 3 years. Yeah he makes mistakes, but the effort level and IQ are always top notch.​@AngryPrimate

[@kevinst.julian2026]

Woll is back. 2 awesome goalies.

[@chrisg1556]

Proud of you boys tonight. You stuck together and dug in to get that gritty win. Also, hope Knies is ok.

[@officialnickelcitygrunge]

Awesome game boys starting with Woll to the D to the forwards, and Nylander being a true leader out there. Nice to see everyone buying in to Berube s game plan and lots of leaders and depth on this team. Go Leafs Go!!!❤❤❤😊 Ps guy jumps and hits directly to knies head 5 and a game min but they get the pp wt

[@jenniferdooley1204]

Grebenkin’s laugh just makes you smile! A character I’d say lol He had a great game! Mitten had a great game! Both kids were awesome! Lorentz had a great game! JT has been an absolute beast this season- every game! Marner has been Marnering- superstar! McCabe loved his fire! Woll had some big saves! Great team win! The no call on Knies is absolutely shameful- I understand if there is no review but they have every tool to get the calls right! Just shameful.

[@pahul79]

Gerbenkin was already way more impactful than Robertson and holmberg

[@rogerskitt1542]

Nah those 2 are doing what is expected for what they are paid. This kid made domi look like a fool, Minten did aswell.

[@pahul79]

@ Robertson has done 0 all year. Holmberg finally got a goal and is a 4th liner. Domi has been injured all year, I’d cut him some slack. Domi was our leading scorer in the playoffs last year

[@DaaaaaBears]

@@rogerskitt1542Robertson ain’t doing shit haha he’s gone real soon, domi playing banged up atleast. Berube ain’t playing Robertson much over minten and grebenkin and minten can take draws too if anything holmberg and kampf fighting for same spot

[@jewcanboy]

Love Gebrenkin 🤣 future stud!

[@hottuna2006]

I was fully expecting a Leafs loss and was ok with it considering the number of injured forwards. The stars played like stars, the defense was solid, the kids stepped up, and Woll was a brick. This year's team looks like they have what it takes to make it to the next level.

[@jb8107]

I can already see Nikita Grebenkin be an NHL superstar in the future

[@bkni_]

It's absolutely wild that the boys won the game. Ignoring the hits and calls, bro look at how far down in the depth charts we are, and we fucking won, 3 0. Good game.

[@agarcia9502]

Nikita is must see TV 😂😂

[@predestinedbyGod]

Love this kid, big W

[@pethcir]

Grebenkin is a GEM. For him to volunteer and stand there knowing his English isn't great is incredibly brave and speaks volumes about what kind of person he is. Really rooting for him!

[@thefozzybear]

Put that on a T-Shirt, "Backcheck, forecheck and paycheck".

[@johngallagher72]

here ...take my money

[@northerngal]

Minten's hockey IQ is off the charts. Grebenkin is such a warrior, so positive and JT, Nylander, Woll and the rest of the team were outstanding. Great game tonight.

[@gorash100]

I love him already

[@jamesboxall2832]

These interview were more fun to watch then most. I don't typically sit back with a smile on my face. Leaf's have a great attitude these days for sure

[@MutedKills]

Nikita "The Bonk" Grebekin baby!

[@tonyklothos7093]

Grebenkin=Danny Markov 2.0! Love the kid already! Keep him here Brad.

[@johngallagher72]

Sputnik 2.0

[@rogerskitt1542]

Grebenkin reminds me of that one player from Ted Lasso whos so excited to play football 😂😂😂😂

[@MatthewCarson-r4q]

grebenkin is my new fav player

[@brandigan56]

Keep both kids up, they earned it. The Russian reminded me of Bert only better and stronger.

[@ariccua6101]

Grebenkin got the Sammy smiles treatment after he caught up with him.

[@stjn14]

If you guys decide to start boycotting games in protest of the leagues clear bias against the team I'd support it. The most clear example of a double standard I've ever seen. Eric Furlatt should be fired and so should George Paros. It's gotten beyond absurd, even fans of teams that hate the leafs can see how much the league hates us its gotten so brazen. As a fan I refuse to give this league any more money until they make some serious changes. I'm beyond sick of every game being leafs vs the other team and then also the league.

[@DaaaaaBears]

Leafs make tons of money whether they win or lose, always gonna be bias if they’re playing a smaller hockey market and especially in the playoffs. I hate basketball and don’t watch it at all but I can guarantee the raptors got their win and there will be a significant effort to make sure it doesn’t happen again. NBA makes way more if big American market wins

[@vazken9178]

“You’re doing great kid” 👍🏼 Don Cherry

[@danhilborn1034]

Great game ! Good highlight package .

[@T88-fh9ci]

Love it best game to watch in a while this is hockey baby Go Leafs Go

[@alterego7739]

Knies Matthews Domi Marner Tavares Nylander McMann Minten Grebenkin Dewar Lorentz Pacioretty 🤞

[@bowler9749]

Keep Kàmpf as a scratch or trade him for a 3rd/4th pick

[@deanosanders203]

Great win! Impressed with the youngsters, would keep Minten and Grebichen in the lineup over Reeves and Domi if they keep playing like that.

[@marcob6880]

Grabs seems like one of those guys. A guy with real fan regard like Lou Franceschetti, a Clark or a Tucker. Maybe w/o the Clark offensive abilities but a guy who can play 3 line with some flair. Not saying he sticks but he could. With Minten I don't think he goes back. I just saw something in him last year, when he got sent down he didn't hang his head, he knew what he needed to do and did it. He's a big kid and is fairly strong, if he can handle the puck in traffic, and make his own room why would you send him back?

[@rongoodfellow6288]

Love this guy. Swap him and Robertson please.

[@stevev8079]

He thought “hit” meant shoot someone lol.

[@russshipman2727]

Greebo, amazing kid

[@TheGreenPotatoChip]

Grebenkin is going to be the Russian Tucker

[@bcvl1067]

Should be 'Backcheck, forecheck, finish checks, paycheque'... ^^

[@route5948]

Grebenkin " you hockey play" "team give me backcheck, forecheck, and paycheck ha ha ha!!"😂

[@doinitforfun888]

Keep playing the kids they are checking and getting back in the D zone. Marner is leading the offense.

[@Canada123]

Great game…congratulations NIKITA!

[@ckaybkg]

Grebs your're a fucking beauty!!

[@VangeliRock]

Nikita. What a champ.

[@Logjam5]

Good game boys.

Holy crap. Get mics!!!!

[@robquasi6153]

Who knew it would take Mathews injury to turn this team around. Still, fire shanny and Brad.

[@johngallagher72]

Team speak me backcheck , forecheck paycheck ...High Five !

[@maxcurrer.]

Also That Hit on Knies should’ve been a major penalty..

[@dalisllama]

Zen master goalies

[@Michaelholt32]

leaf fans cry after reaves got suspended and they still cry when white cloud didn’t get a 5 minute major wow

[@kushhill1458]

Gutsy win

[@waldmarwolchuk9483]

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@Puckhog]

Can’t they get a Russian translator for the Russian player the organization make enough money to afford one

[@CanadianLoveKnot]

00:45

[@madelyn1037]

I’m sure he could request one if he wanted one

[@archie5385]

It’s an English side of sport buddy

[@booton6792]

Nah, not needed they guy was able to get his point across. Beside he got the fundamentals down, back check for check and paycheck 😁

[@CanadianLoveKnot]

@@booton6792 he had one. You can clearly hear his translator talking to him throughout. Hence my time stamp 00:45

[@Michaelholt32]

nobody on the leafs has accomplished anything in the playoffs

[@maxcurrer.]

lol back check, forecheck and pay check. Love Grebenkin 🤣 also English is coming along.. anyway good for him! Also props to Willy and Minten getting his first! Great W! GLG

[@tombolt85]

The most entertaining game this year!

[@tmcoyles9676]

Kinda wish Nylander would show more emotion …. Seems like a bit of a drag
