[OVO16]

Praying Knies is healthy and can play.

He's gonna play but he wont be healthy.

I did it again. Took money away from my kids future inheritance to go see this game. I need to be there in person to witness them clinch their first series in Toronto in almost 25 years.

I just need to be on the right side of the handshake line once in my lifetime

can they handle the pressure?

Good luck to all and enjoy the Leafs in the Cup final. I'm going to make good on my bet a bit early and sign off from this site (even though I'm going to win the bet). Have to give a bit more time these days to real life.

You have an opinion and right to share it. Dont let others negativity influence you. You of all people deserve to enjoy the ride

 

[rumman]

A defining moment for the Shanaplan core for sure. Will they break the stigma or break the hearts?

That’s anybody’s guess, which team will show up, another mystery……..

 

[LeafEgo]

I went full toxic after last game, that was beyond painful to watch. That said, they played such a good game last night, have to tip back to some hope we have a special result Sunday. Nobody has any credibility left lol.

Sunday is going to be electric that's for sure.

Leafs just don't do game 5's this year. They take the day off, that's their thing. Its unsettling but as long as they win four of the others..

 

[Strangle]

Almost double the number of hits taken as the #2 guy, that's the Florida forecheck for ya

The reason Nylander isn’t on this list is because he has a foolproof strategy.

Step aside and let the opponent gain possession and then try to lift his stick to get the puck back. It works a lot, like 17% of the time

 

[crump]

For the love of f***ing god. Just f***ing win this game!!!

JUST f***ING ONCE CAN WE f***ING WIN A f***ING GAME 7?????? Lol.

 

[Strangle]

If they win this series it’ll be remembered for decades, if they keep going …..

Well, maestro fresh Wes filed a rap video about his experience watching the raptors in the playoffs

You made the right call. Your kids can make their own money

[stats1]

Hell of a game from the whole team. Refs are reallyyyy trying to push Florida through. They get every f***ing call. They do pick plays, they hold and interfere when we dump the puck in and nothing. All fans want is consistency and this series has been a shit show. I hope someone cocks Tkachuk in the jaw when we win tomorrow. Sick of this douchebag being a p***y after every loss. Never drops the gloves ever

 

[LeafEgo]

I've seen numerous suggestions to trade 26yo Woll.

Its weird, NHL market value can be surprisingly wonky - certainly not perfectly efficient.

And that's about as bad as a trade idea can be.

Florida is vulnerable off the rush, so stick with the plan of carrying into the offensive zone vs. dump-and-chase.

If they can hold off the Florida forecheck and do the above, they'll be in a good position to win.

Either way it's likely going to be a 2-1 game for either side, so any mistake, bad turnover, blind pass, soft goal, may be the difference between Carolina Dreaming and Shanahan walking the plank.

It's Ali and Foreman all over again. "Rope a dope" get the foe to think we are done and have nothing left, only to come on over the top with a Haymaker.

Crazy.... 5 of the top 7 dmen are Toronto players.

 

[Hellcat]

Lorentz did the chip and run last night and got completely blocked off with no interference call. Now that the refs have set the bar, we can block their forwards off completely in the same way to shelter our D. Hope Berube took note.

Game 7 is the night Gary's refs show up and make sure the Leafs are playing a man down all night.

 

[MK78]

Oh, Gary's refs showed up in the 3rd period of last game, on that bullshit hook on Carlo. So I'm pretty sure they're travelling for Game 7.

 

[al secord]

can they handle the pressure?

I had mexican food today. If I can handle the pressure, so can they.

That one handed hook call on Carlo after everything let go was a piece of corrupt beauty

Beating Marchand in the playoffs

Beating Florida in the playoffs

Winning a game 7

Winning a playoff game with McCauley as the ref

Getting past the second round

How many more demons can the leafs exorcise tomorrow night?

Home ice ‘advantage’.

Lotsa dragons to slay.

Meanwhile, I hope the stadium folks turn down the show, so we can actually hear the crowd.

24.5 excruciating hours to go.

Wes McCauley is reffing? Is that confirmed?
