GDT: Game 6 | Leafs Vs Bruins | COME BACK CONTINUES - (and so does) WAKE UP EDITION | Thursday, May 2; 8 p.m. EST | Leafs trail series 2-3

[Stephen]

Without Matthews, feel like it would have to be 2-1 game or 3-2 max.

Would be great if we could just blow it open and win a 5-1 statement game. It’s not like we don’t have offensive star power.

 

[HogTown06]

Also one thing to take into consideration is that our two top scorers have missed games in this series and haven't played at 100% yet. Hard to be scoring goals and racking up points like that.

Willy still looks like he's a little lost there at times.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16

Losing to Bruins again in the series; no can't stomach that. Its too painful! So screw the Bruins. Let the voodoo and name calling continue: So LEAFS WAKE THE F UP AND STAY THE F AWAKE

The EPIC COMEBACK CONTINUES !


2 down 14 more wins to go!!!

BUDS CHANNEL MORE OF THIS PLEASE - Get it done in regulation!!!



ONLY HOPE IN GOAL - Protect Him!!! Gotta WILL WOLL the win here baby. LETS GO!

GOTTA CONINUE TO...

LEAFS EXPECTED LINE UP
(No real reason for a change up unless Matthews is good to go)


Keefe's Notes:





BRUINS EXPECTED LINE UP
(don't think much will change TBD of course except may be their 3rd pair D?... Swayman? Ullmark? )


Montgomery's Notes:





Why is TML the Ayatollah of Rock 'n' Rolla and THE CENTER OF HOCKEY UNIVERSE you ask?

Because....

EVERYONE FOLLOWS THE HOCKEY MECCA Willingly or Unwillingly - Magnetic force of the LEAFS is too strong
(Don't believe me? Just look at the amount of hate this team receives on hockey forums, social media, journalism etc. They Hate Us Cause They Ain't Us)

(Almost forgot this lol )
Since cheering saying GLG and being a good guy doesn't work. Here is something new that we hope works. CONTINUE TO EMBRACE THE DARK SIDE

There will be time for "Respect" either in the post series thread on the mains, or post game threads here on Leafs forum or in the handshake line .

But that time is not yet; the time now is still for WAR!

Great moments are born when great opportunity knocks. Legends are born when they rise against adversity and achieve glory!

Get ANGRY. Get READY. GO WIN!

P.S. Forget about the home record. New Day, New Game, New Opportunity to get it right!

EVEN THIS SERIES!

What a game thread! If they give us half the effort you put it, we're good.

 

[TheDoldrums]

If they're already declaring him out this early in the day he's probably not back this series if it's extended as well. Very disheartening.

 

[Dayjobdave]

If they're ordering general tao chicken and egg rolls then how can you say no?

As long as it's not pasta, it's good.

 

[helloconga]

if the canucks can win without demko, leafs can win without matthews. go leafs 3-1

 

[Dayjobdave]

Let’s hope the “fans” don’t get mad for making noise tonight

I'm changing out of my suit before going, so I will do my part ;-)

 

[NJG]

I know he just came back from injury but Nylander needs to have a big game. And for the love of god can we start shooting the puck instead of trying to make the perfect pass/play. *cough Domi *cough*

Don't think that's an excuse for the lack of offense in this series - even with stars hurt / unhealthy, they should still have more than enough fire power to be banging in more goals than what they've accomplished so far.

Swayman read that play a mile away. Everyone definitely needs to shoot more including him.

 

[LeafsStorm]

I still have faith. Get it done boys

 

[NJG]

A side from the play on the Knies goal Tavares wasn’t great. Hopefully he steps it up.

 

[Dekes For Days]

Matthews out again is brutal...

 

[LeafsStorm]

Any word if we are starting Woll? Is McMann going to play? Is Swayman out?

 

[AvroArrow]

I believe we recalled Clifford..

He hit the post last game on his breakaway and setup a couple really good chances.

But yeah, he's missing his top end skating speed. Very likely not 100% to me.

 

[PeeBee78]

Seems like a groin issue to me for Mathews. He limped when taking the shot at the end of that practice video.

Usually means its hurting to both shoot and skate. Gotta be a groin issue

He looks gassed. At the start and end of the practice video he is on his knee huffing. Long COVID symptoms?! Groin I doubt they would let him skate…..

 

[TakeTheBody]

Styles will lead the way tonight. Game 7? No promises.

 

[Fonzieleaf]

Apparently we told Swayman in his draft interview that we liked him and we were going to take him. We used the draft pick to select another goalie, Ian Scott. Who snagged him with the very next pick? Boston.

The guy has a personal vendetta towards us that's why he is always lights out when we play him.

The scoring issue goes back to last year's playoffs when everyone was healthy, so I don't think it's a valid excuse

You have to push through at some point.

This will never happen.

What better opportunity to make him more upset at us? Blow him out of the water offensively, crash the crease, give him a rough ride and a couple of sleepless nights ahead of Game 7.

 

[egd27]

I'm conflicted.
Only two wins I've been on my couch and 3 losses I've been out at watch parties.
I was just invited to a watch party. I want to say no but they're ordering Chinese.

Throw up a go fund me and maybe a few of us will chip in to get you something from Door Dash

 

[Arzak]

You could order double the pasta , to give Keefe a hint !

Willy is going to step up and lead the charge tonight.
