It really won't be "era-defining". It's just another step in a what was always going to be the outcome this season. The leafs will win on Sunday because they are the better team, with the better coach, and the better goalie. For all of those same reasons, they will beat Carolina in the conference final.It’s been said all year that this team “is different.” They sure didn’t look it in Game 5 but they answered the call in Game 6.
Now what would truly support that claim is not only the first Game 7 win for this franchise in 21 years, but the first trip to the Conference Finals in 23 years.
Sunday will be an era defining moment.
He’s been awesomeBenoit had a sick game.
Big hits, carrying the puck, big on the PK.
He's had some really good games this playoffs.
It's what comes after 6...Like I mean. I'm happy. But whyyyyy another game 7
GET TO THE CHOPPAH!!!!
Matthew’s and Marner don’t need 3-4 point games to win game 7. If they play exactly like they did tonight and commit to shutting down the panthers they got a real good chance of winning game 7. Fingers crossed for Oil vs Leafs finals boysAll shutouts too!![]()
Oh he had a game didn’t he?Auston Matthews heard all my criticisms and ignored them completely

Reffing can’t get much more one-sided as it was tonight.If Wes McCauley is officiating game 7 I will hang myself
This should be Matthews baseline, absolutely. He’s capable, whether he channels it consistently or not is up to him.
Right...Humble? Humility is for losers. It's for respect in the handshake line. It's everything that was wrong with the previous iteration of this management and coaching staff.
Arrogance wins. It always has. In every aspect of life. Society likes to pretend it doesn't, but there are no humble winners.
I've got bad news for you.Reffing can’t get much more one-sided as it was tonight.
I disagree game 7 in Toronto. There’s a ton of pressure on the leafs based on there history.Well it comes down to one game. We all knew this was going to be a long series
The pressure is on the Panthers, not the Leafs
He was also in the Ukrainian delegation at talks with Russia yesterday
Mindgames
I'm not, let's turn over a new Leaf and win one of these suckers!Huge win. I'm ready to be hurt again.
I actually don't. I'm not doing this again. My heart can't take it. LOL. Until they actually do it, I'm not getting my hopes up with them ever againOkay don’t lie. You all have hope again.
Don't challenge the universe like that.Reffing can’t get much more one-sided as it was tonight.
