If we play to our full potential we win this game.
1. START ON FU*KING TIME.
2. START ON FU*KING TIME.
3. Don't believe you have another crack at this, this is your game 7, given your track record, this really is your game 7. So bring the intensity.
Lay it all out on the line tonight boys. All of it. Dig deep. Play hard. Fight for every inch. It's time to climb that mountain.

There's absolutely no way the Leafs come out tonight, fired up and take it to the Bolts. They've never done it before and there's zero reason to believe they'll start tonight.
The good news is, that despite not being ready to go for most of the games this series they're still up 3-2. Hockey is a crazy sport. And therefore, they can still win despite themselves.
So, Go Leafs ... Just win the &!@*$* game, by any means necessary. Okay? Thank you.

Lol I think auto correct happened there on that tweet
Yeah but if you’re a healthy scratch, there is zero reason to not be skating.

Justin Holl is participating in Leafs optional skate this morning and Timothy Liljegren is not.
How reassuring should this be ?
Don't want to get people too excited...
Holl played 12 mins last game, I don't think Keefe was happy with him.

Holl is smart enough to know he’ll have a target on his head if he plays game 6.
Surely his coach wouldn’t do that to him.

If lily plays I hope he plays well
Doesn't deserve the shit from Keefe and the media he'll get if he doesn't

We may not get hemmed in during the second period this game if Lilly is playing.

So we're at the point now where we have to throw an ice-cold Liljegren into elimination games. He may or may not be an improvement over Holl - but the fact of the matter is is that he has not seen a playoff game since game 2 of last year.
What a f***ing disaster Keefe has created.

Yeah he's much better at that aspect hopefully he is used correctly and isn't too rusty

This is a repeat of the Toronto Raptors in Game 6 at Golden State Warriors, a beat up, battered champion with injuries all over the place.
The Raps got the split at home in Toronto to start the series. They went on the road and won one. They went into Game 4 and won that one too coming home up 3-1 with an expectant but nervous crowd. They let Game 5 slip out of their hands despite a furious finish to tie, ending with a Kyle Lowry three point shot that went behind the backboard. Went on the road and closed it out for Game 6.
I think this is the Leafs story line tonight. They have the veteran support and defensive upgrades the Raptors added at the deadline in Schenn, McCabe. The Raps had a former finals MVP in Kawhi Leonard. We now have Ryan O'Reilly as a Conn Smythe winner helping change the culture and bring the big game leadership.

No player should be exempt from criticism if they don't play well.

I guarantee you the Leafs are winning this series.
Why? Because winning one round will be the worst thing that can happen for Leafs' Fans. The Participation Trophy Crew will be happy with that, they'll get crushed in the second round, Dubas will stay, and there will be no changes to the core, which is and always has been the problem.

I love the reasoning and the positivity here - but I don't think the Raptors were dealing with an elephant sized mental block like the Leafs are right now with elimination games.
Every year I watch National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. This game feel similar as I already know the ending.
Maybe, but in order to win the cup we have to win a round.
If not now, when?
When has this group ever gotten crushed in the playoffs?
Every series has gone the max games minus their first year.

I’ve thought of that as well.
Short term gain, long term Keefe.
I’m blocking all negativity tho.
