GDT: ECQF Game 6 | Breaking the Curse | Leafs @ Lightning - 7pm ET | CBC, SN, TBS, TVAS, & BSSUN

[TheBeastCoast]

Hopefully Matthews and Marner were glued in on that Boston-Florida game. We need one(both) of them to just take this series by the balls like Tkachuk has for Florida.

[Burnie97]

Just win. No game 7 please.

Yup. This right here. Get it done tonight. No more f***ing around.

 

[Gallagbi]

I think last game was the game. A win now would surprise me.

This team has always been full of surprises

 

[DarkKnight]

Excited and optimistic, but I’m a Leafs fan so….

Thachuk is a beast and a money player in the playoffs carrying his team on his back in their series.

I'm sure its been previously posted but Leafs 3 Amigo's are now 0-10 in potential series ending games for the Leafs to advance.

In those games their stats are Marner 0-4-4 points -4 +/- & Matthews 3-3-6 points -3 +/- & Nylander 1-7-8 points -1 +/-.

It's Marner time to finally shine and match the performance of his former London Knight linemate Thachuk and will his team to victory today.

 

[hamzarocks]

Leafs look at how boston played yesterday for 60 minutes... and do the opposite of that

No way you're saying this when Tkachuk before this year has been labeled as a disappointment in the playoffs. He still hasn't lead florida anywhere, they still need another w.

 

[Atomos2]

I have no faith in this team. None until they give me a reason. We have all been through this before. The same downward spiral effect.

I want to believe so much but how when the failure is so predictable. If this team wins then that is basically a big FU to the universe.

 

[kevsh]

For the second pairing, I would suggest pairing Jake Muzzin with Justin Holl, as they both bring a physical presence and can play strong defensively.

Congrats, Neo. You just killed the future of AI
Probably saved humanity in the process too.

no, he isn't...

They make a logical argument that Tampa's top 4 forwards have a caphit 11.5 million lower than ours which allows them to have much more depth scoring.

The series has still been this close even with Tampa's star forwards underperforming. What on earth will happen if those stars step it up these last 2 games? Their stars are famous for stepping up when they need to, and ours are infamous for disappearing when it matters most.

Now do the goalies genius and tell us the additional depth you can add.

 

[Clark4Ever]

Objectively speaking, Tampa Bay has been the better team overall throughout the series and could have won it by now or at least deserve to be up 3-2.

In reality, we are in a very fortunate position to still have 2 cracks at closing out the series. I hope the players realize that and seize the moment.

Playoff Vasilevsky is back so we will need Samsonov to step up and play at his absolute best.

 

[1specter]

Rewrite the script and prove you're 'different'. Get it f***ing done

 

[AvroArrow]

I made a post yesterday pointing out that there are only 4 leafs that have played all 10 elimination losses. Marner, Matthews, Nylander, Reilly. THEY are the problem.

I showed that in those 10 games the leafs have tried working SIXTEEN different defensemen with them. And THIRTY-ONE other forwards. Three different goalies.

So your argument is pretty strange.

"Hey guys, we tried surrounding the core with different players EVERY year, and we still always lose the elimination games. But this years different. We tried surrounding the core with different players again."

Like... huh?

We added guys to our core, guys who have won cups.

Also should be pointed out the guys that were the problem, have been playing phenomenal this series. All four of those guys have been great.

 

[horner]

Start on time and don't stop.

Hit Hedman every opportunity you get.

To me with Liljegren and Bunting in the lineup this is our best team yet.

Get in Vasi's face and no more 100 passes till we shot
Shot and go for rebounds and tips

Curious, what were Thachuk's numbers in the previous years or is this his first year?

 

[The Management]

Everyone needs to go out and give it 110% tonight, play like your next contract depends on it. Stuff John Cooper's presser down their throat, don't let Perry get under your skin, and change the narrative.

Just. Friggin. Win.

 

[Nooodles]

I won't be watching this. I just can't do this anymore.

Just win for f***s sake and I'll be back for the 2nd round full force

The universe has nothing to do with it.

 

[Peace Frog]

When the Leafs are expected to win a game, they often find a way to lose. The opposite is also true!

Just saying!

Let’s go boys!!!

 

[Mess]

This is the game that changes the narrative for this team, that they can't win by proving they can.

Leafs big guns have to come to play and be impactful in the outcome.

Go Leafs Go !!!

 

[HamiltonNHL]

This is the first game I’ve felt some excitement about in a long time. Feeling good about it.

By any chance, did you engage in an eye opener this morning ?

 

[meefer]

After tonight it’s time to slay the next dragon. GLG!

 

[HamiltonNHL]

Start on time and don't stop.

Hasn’t been a thing for 5 years, won’t happen tonight.
