My mom.

I was so deflated, she goes we always win when I sit down with you. It was 4-1, she stayed up past her bedtime for goodluck and we f***ing won. So pumped right now.

My mom was just diagnosed with breast cancer and I have been violently confronted with how not ready I am to lose my mom. Those moments are the best moments, and you never realize when you're in them.
 
Overtime in NHL playoffs hits different than other sports.

Nylander is now immune from belittling (belittling is different from constructive criticism fyi) for the rest of the playoffs. Once he decided the game was ours, it was ours. Doing that in the NHL playoffs is legend status. Especially being the 3rd playoffs in a row he's putting up points.

Rielly OT winner then tying goal. Never going to hear a bad thing come out of my mouth about him again. Legend. All I've done the last 4 months is rag doll this guy's name. No more.
 
Got two confessions.

1. I had sex with my wife last night, and when the score was 4–1, I thought I jinxed the boys.

2. Got into a little discussions with pcruz in the game thread when AM began the come back, and continued with pcruz then AM scored again, trying to kept that discussion going in hopes of the come back and it worked.
I have a confession for you brotha

I reversed the jinx shortly afterwards ….
Shhhhh

I had to , I couldn’t leave that one alone

Kerfoot isn't a heavy player, he's not skilled enough to be the playmaker with pure snipers, nor does he have a strong shot to be the shooter.

He's a tenacious water bug type player that's not afraid to go into the dirty areas, is quick in transitions, and good defensively.

His game style matches well with ROR and Acciari because they're bigger physical guys who are equally as smart and are able to create space with their physical play
Agree 100%. Kerfoot is a typical 3rd liner who can move up when needed. His lack of Hockey IQ is also his downfall too.
By having ROR and Acciari two guys who knows what to do and shout out instructions on ice, really help Kerfoot’s game.
 
After the shock wearing off, I still am not the happiest with the win. The Leafs can't have these large gaps of utterly terrible hockey. It's one thing to lose but losing that terribly is no bueno.

Finding ways to win these kind of games is fantastic though. It creates a lot of confidence and momentum. I just really f***ing hope we don't get these terrible efforts for over half a game for awhile. The Leafs probably could use a defensive shake up because Holl and Giordano are struggling hard. Giordano almost gave up a goal with a turnover with 1 minute left in the 3rd, but the puck just went wide.

I'm very happy that Matthews came up big when needed. Samsonov was big when needed.
It's the playoffs. They don't ask how, they ask how many.
 
Samsonov massive save in OT against stammer don’t forget about that
And don't forget samsonov save on our powerplay when it was 4-2 tampa and then moments later Matthew's scored to make it 4-3
Lafferty seemed to have a little more fire tonight but overall he's been the weakest forward statistically.

I'd probably lean on keeping the lineup that has been able to put out 3 straight wins, but I think you gain a big upgrade with Bunting over Lafferty.
Or Bunting takes a another 5 minute major and sinks his team
