Post-Game Talk: IT WAS 4-1 | LEAFS WIN 5-4 IN OVERTIME

[PromisedLand]

Aight my inner tragic Leafs fan has awoken again.

its still 3-1; gotta win 4 games. I was super hyped after the 3-1 series lead over the scabs.

but there is this freakin' hope and anger to go with it. Gotta get that 4th win. This is done and over with. Gotta get that 4th win now.

Look at those hits and blocks again

Luke Schenn returns 15 years later to be the top pairing defenseman we drafted all those years ago.

Let's Gooooooo!


I've been taken aback at how good he is now.

Dubas knocked it out of the park with that one.

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.

stay strong and take care of yourself. As someone who has dealt with that shit, the cheesiest and stupidest shit of taking it day by day is annoyingly the best.

Heres hoping the leafs give something good to make those days good.

Edit: always available to chat as well if you need to just talk or hell vent.

I’ve been shitting on Marner every playoff but this year, he’s acting his wage and earning that big time. He makes shit happen.

ROR has been a massive addition too as has Acari and even Knies. Dubas did a great job at the deadline, finally realizing he needed some grit on the back end (McCabe, Schenn), some depth up the middle (ROR, Acari if needed) and getting a Knies deal done.

Without the deadline deals, this team likely would not be up in this series. Hell yeah

Soft? The Leafs? Couldn’t be them.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Thought when McCabe blew a tire late in the third after the Leafs tied it that it was very Leaf-y to tie it like that and then give Tampa a goal right back on an uber aggressive play. But a nice backcheck from Matthews and no panic from Brodie helped funnel the puck to a wing where it was easier for Sammy to track and get across to stop.

 

[Crispy Crust]

Matthews turned into GOATTHEWS in the third! WOOOOOOO!

You'd be lighting $100 on fire lol.

well sure, in all likelihood, but if you're getting, like, 1000:1 odds?

 

[BertCorbeau]

Front page of NHL.com has Knies front and centre celebrating right after the game winner was scored.

It's beautiful.

We must win game 5. Bury them 6-0 or something. Have to have our best performance of the season Thursday. Tampa is a wounded animal. Need to put them down. Can't have a start like game 1 need to pounce early and they will fade.

Our PP needs to be one of our biggest assets to win; it's the way we're built. Our PK has been adequate at worst.

Anyone still breathing

Barely bro

 

[keonsbitterness]

Probably good that there's an extra day of rest. Thursday should be wild.

[1specter]

@SeaOfBlue hey remember how you kept saying they shouldn't play Schenn?

 

[Commander Clueless]

Dubas knocked it out of the park with that one.

I mean regardless of what happens from here on out, it's safe to say Dubas had a hell of a deadline.

I want ROR, Acciari and Schenn extended pronto.

 

[ACC1224]

Wonder how much I could get for my tickets Thursday?

Don't forget getting McCabe retained for this season and the next two.

 

[PromisedLand]

This dude was all of us for all the goals especially the OT Goal

 

[Cleetus]

Talk about A love hate relationship. I hated this team for 50 mins. Yet they won me back again

let’s do this.

Do Moderators get a discount?

Asking for a friend.

Only reason I don't want him extended is because he's already under contract and cheap
