"OH GOD OH GOD I'M DYING I'M DY- Oh, hi ref!"
If Pastrnak were a Leaf and playing the way he has, he'd be absolutely roasted. And rightfully so. He's been damn near invisible.
It is for sure a thing. I don't understand it, but of the guys who played tonight can play the exact same, and add Matthews even at 70%, you'd think we'd be better... right?

Knies has arguably been the 2nd best leaf this series, the captain comes in clutch again

Typical Leafs. Play like garbage, or play like champions on any given night. Let's hope the good guys show up for the next one.
I am a Reaves fan and play of physicality
But we can really burn their 4th if we have some speed
Another note, the "kids" are given prominent roles and I am here for it.
You can see them struggling a bit, but eventually the Leafs had to incorporate cheap talent in their plans and lineups.
Can't rely on UFAs with limited cap space

Speaking of making out, what is with that pathetic celebration the Boston goalies do? Like seriously guys, hold off until you're in the showers together.

If there was any way whatsoever the Leafs could put 4 or 5 past Swayman and win in Thursday, that would make for a hell of a decision who to start.
This pretty much splits the team how you'd expect, better players on top, worse players on the bottom.
It's almost perfect.

Yes, because they stop relying on his contribution to save them. It happens often when top scorers go down in a series. Everyone else says "well, we can't be too reckless, it has to be an honest, grinding effort".They looked better wo Matthews.
Leafs played as they can and should. The problem is, if there is a game 7 it will be on a Saturday. The crowd in Boston will be much more alive then. If Leafs get there...

That's not gonna be a good way to muster 2 more wins though. Woll was terrific, outside of the first goal I guess, but the Leafs were very fortunate on a lot of bounces around their own. Boston as well to be fair, but Boston isn't going to miss that many more times... Leafs on the other hand... uhhh... their track record so far is not good.

Monty is smarter than everyone, including himself. He's half likely to start Ullmark in game 6.

Boosh was super solid tonight too. Deserves a shout out.
I thought Holmberg and Knies specifically were excellent tonight. Holmy going toe to toe with Marchand. I think that kind of role suits him... Knies was excellent.. couple small mistakes, but played a big mans game down low and showed his strength.
Started an argument with my old man about this. He was talking about how "Marchand and Pastrnak have shown up and no one on the Leafs has" and I told him that Pastrnak has actually not been very good and only had 4 points, mostly PP points. And he said that "Pastrnak has 6 points and is dominating". Huh?
