Team is playing with some balls right now. Fun to watch even when they don't have the A game against a great team.

 

[IrishInOntario]

Absolutely convinced that Tavares bet on the game and was point shaving there...

Great road win on your 3rd game in 4 nights, at altitude!

 

[Warden of the North]

Love it. Lots of good things happened on this road trip

 

[mogs]

Tavares just gotta wind up a clapper there on the empty net.

Nice battle against the Av’s… not the prettiest game but the Av’s are as good as they get and the Leafs did well making them pay for their mistakes on the PP

Tavares with a rough second half almost capped it with his own Stephan moment

 

[BrannigansLaw]

Did Tavares just go brain dead there at the end? Seriously what a dumbass

Awesome game otherwise. Real playoff feel. This team is looking legit

Bertuzzi *
Sammy **
Nylander ***

 

[Aashir Mallik]

tavares cost nylander that point at the end

Marner almost sold the game at the end, thankfully it didn't matter plus he was instrumental on his goal and bert's 1st

Samsonov battled and was the better goalie

Matthews was awfully quiet

Nylander was very solid, 3rd assist was a beauty

 

[trellaine201]

Wtf Tavares! Almost gave up the lead.

 

[weems]

Best win of the season.
Down 2 to 0 against one of the best teams in the league, 3 games in 4 nights playing at altitude.
Bertuzzi with the huge game.

When this team plays with tons of intensity and work ethic, they're an absolute beast and can beat anyone.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Bertuzzi went beast mode and Samsonov was stellar.

 

[Dekes For Days]

Ok so here's the plan... Every playoff game, we tell Bertuzzi it's his birthday.

 

[1specter]

Feels good to steal the game back in regulation, just like they did to us earlier this season.

 

[Racer88]

Classy move by JT to not run up the score. Good sportsmanship.

I was yelling for him to slap shot it into the net……..an empty net insurance goal is not running up the score

 

[Goose]

 

[Ianturnedbull]

JT,

Next time don't try to place a perfect shot

 

[Eternal Leaf]

JT refused to be a Ridly Greig there.

 

[Maple Leaf]

AHO WOW

 

[Commander Clueless]

Did Tavares accidentally take Bert's curse?

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Tavares almost Patrik Stefan'd that at the end lmao

What a game. Found a way to win! I hope tonight is a sign of things to come for Bertuzzi. Well deserved hatty

 

[Raging Bull]

Good road game in a tough barn.
