Tampa preparing for tonight's game:

Marner absolutely destroyed McDonaugh. Tampa needs to invest in getting some size.

Tampa preparing for tonight's game:

Tampa is much more skilled than the Leafs:

 

[DanM]

Cooper is a nice guy, I believe he'll give us a win tonight.

Just imagine if they didn't decide to give us 3 wins though...we'd be swept.

Cooper is such a generous guy allowing teams to win once in a while.

 

[SwissLeaf]

I could watch Saturday's game, but can't tonight's... I'm not selfish, so please close the series tonight!

GO LEAFS GO!

 

[JadedLeaf]

 

[Territory]

For the love of god Toronto please just win.

 

[hatterson]

I am ready to be emotionally scarred from tonight. Let's go!

 

[Clark4Ever]

Tampa Bay is going to be very tough to beat tonight.

 

[D Wakaluk]

I want a game 7 OT! Make it happen slackers.

Who knows how the game goes tonight. This series has been pretty hard to predict

 

[TheRumble]

Toronto's biggest enemy is themselves.

They've been better than Tampa pretty much the entire season including this series. I thibk even Tampa fans can admit that.

Doesn't mean Tampa can't win. The gap between these two teams isn't egregious ala Colorado and Nashville. It's more 53-47 type of a deal.

 

[FoxysExpensiveNYDigs]

The "Curse Broken?" jinx thread means this series is going 7.

 

[Peasy]

I'll be completely shocked if the Leafs close it out tonight. But hoping they do.

 

[M2Beezy]

I predict we will see a game 7. Tho the Leafs have really played well this series so who knows. My guess is 6-4 for the Lightening

 

[PeE eL DuBoiS]

I really hope Santa Cooper and his team of elves gift us another game tonight.

 

[Five Alarm Fire]

Lol Cooper has really ruffled some feathers in here.

Stupid comments go a long way in engaging hockey fans in a forum especially with the biggest fan base in the league lol

 

[HockeyVirus]

I am hopeful but there is almost no chance the leafs win tonight. If they do, I'd be shocked. So shocked I'd have to sit there with my mouth on the floor, pondering if I actually saw it. They can NEVER put a team that is down out of their misery, they ALWAYS think teams will roll over and let them get life back.

I expect a blow out honestly. 6-7 goals for Tampa tonight. Leafs most likely get shutout as well. This is how they have always been in elimination games where they can advance, no reason to expect otherwise until they do it.

 

[Willchel Marlynder]

Come on Cooper, gives us the 4th game too please, you already have 2 cups!

Yeah lol all in good fun. Cooper definitely can come across as arrogant, a lot of it is just gamesmanship.

 

[OurlordAndSaviorKuch]

LET'S GO BOLTS!!!!!!

This team has faced adversity before this is nothing new, Just win.

 

[Strangle]

I had an epiphany.

Leafs gotta abandon the Biebs and TikTok tonight and go back to the gritty 90’s.

Time for a New Level of Confidence and Power

What they need to do is pretend they just lost to their zamboni driver last game, and Tampa is the unlucky team who gets to face their frustrations. It's not the playoffs, it's a random mid season game. Go out there and just play and work hard.
