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

[BertCorbeau]

Seeing the replay I didn't realize Matthews' 2nd goal that he tipped it a foot off the ice. Damn what a play.

 

[Been around]

Hey folks..keep it up..take the series...
Leafs are my 2nd team..behind the jets.
You were my team until their return..I gotta cheer for my home team, right?

Hope your team goes the distance...im sure hf would shut down for a day or 3 as well lol

When was the last time the Leafs won a playoff game they trailed by 3 goals in?

There must be a few, but I believe it was a long time ago. 1993?

When was the last time the comeback was entirely 3rd period? (If we assume 2020 wasn't real playoffs)

Has it ever happened?

 

[BertCorbeau]

He's been awesome on the panel

I deem the outcome of this sporting competition satisfactory.

This result must now be repeated once more. However, it is essential this final positive outcome is completed before the opposing faction produces an unsatisfactory outcome three consecutive times. Should the opposition fail to produce these consecutive outcomes they will have to cease participation in the sporting event and return home. To the contrary, this scenario would allow our preferred club to continue participation in the sporting event albeit with a new yet-to-be-determined opponent.

This process will continue until a) our associated club fails to produce four positive outcomes before the opposing club produces four negative outcomes in a given round of competition, or; b) there are no opponents remaining to contest our claim to the final desired outcome.

Should the former scenario unfold we would have to cease participation, return home, and reassess strategies and/or personnel as they pertain to returning to post-season competition in 2024, with an emphasized focus on advancing further in said competition. Should the latter scenario unfold our preferred club will be designated the victors of the 2023 sporting competition and the names of all associated competitors will be inscribed on the trophy for future generations to revere. Public displays of celebration and the erection of statues will follow.

It is also possible patrons of opposing organizations will suffer considerable emotional distress should our faction defeat our current opponent and advance in the competition. This effect has the potential to multiply exponentially should our faction continue to defeat additional opponents. In spite of the emotional pain inflicted on our rival patrons it is imperative that we continue to enthusiastically promote the success of our faction in any and all social settings, including but not limited to message boards, social networks, family gatherings, and workplace interactions.

Go faction!

Is this a weather forecast?

 

[HEAVY DUTY]

well well well, how the turn tables...

 

[PromisedLand]

No wonder we are hated around the league. We've taken over their building even after the game is over

 

[authentic]

If they blow this 3-1 lead.. i'll be broken. Thats all I'm gonna say.

They have to treat next game like it's game 7. There's no possible way this team would be comfortable going the distance again, and I truly think we put it away next game.

well well well, how the turn tables...

Enjoy this game but its not done. Not even close. This leaf team has shown that TONS of times. Lets not look ahead at all. This last win is what we have been waiting for the past 7 years. We need that last win. Pressure is going to be highest now.

Need to do it before game 7.

The next ten minutes of play are critical to this series. Gotta piggy back off the energy of the building and reward the fans. Build the positive momentum early, get that confidence and turn it into a party close out.

Jesus, what arm tingles when you're having a heart attack?
Asking for a friend

If we could put a good consistent effort together for a whole game we'd take some beating
Unfortunately we seem to need an ass kicking or brutal game situation to bring the fight out

Not complaining, just saying there's easier ways of doing this boys

I must say it's nice to be on the other side of one of these results

 

[Bluebear]

Derek Lalonde.....I thought he was Uncle Fester

 

[Gabriel426]

Next game will be crucial. Killer instinct activates from warm up

 

[Superstar]

Can we talk about Matthew Knies. The Leafs don't win if he doesn't pull that one off the goal line.

C'mon, Bunting would have put his hand on the puck and smothered it...

No wonder we are hated around the league. We've taken over their building even after the game is over

Bless them all

O'Reillys reaction was legendary:

 

[Leaf Fans]

Until 3rd period they have had a very sub par series

They have had very good series' Marner had 8 points in three games coming in to game 4 now 10 in 4 Matthews had 5 points in three games now 7 with excellent defensive play and another hits and a few blocks tonight. Nylander had 4 points in three -7 now and tons of shots and some excellent takeaways.

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

I said to myself this is the worst powerplay I've seen in my entire life. Then Matthews scores and the rest is history. Bwahahahahahahaaaaaaaa.

To be fair for a while it was, HOLY SHIT were those first 2 PP chances bad. But it came through, when it mattered most

 

[NastyKnies]

well well well, how the turn tables...

I might of screamed at hagel through the screen during that interview. I already hate him.

 

[WestCoastLeafs]

Midseason me: <Dreams up unlikely playoff scenarios involving huge comebacks and dramatic OT winners>

Playoffs me: seriously guys, can we not just score a couple early and win a nice tidy game?

To everything turn, turn, turn
There is a season turn, turn, turn
And a time to every purpose under Heaven
A time to be born, a time to die
A time to plant, a time to reap
A time to kill, a time to heal
A time to laugh, a time to weep
To everything turn, turn, turn
There is a season turn, turn, turn
And a time to every purpose under Heaven
A time to buid up, a time to break down
A time to dance, a time to mourn
A time to cast away stones
A time to gather stones together
To everything turn, turn, turn
There is a season turn, turn, turn
And a time to every purpose under Heaven
A time of love, a time of hate
A time of war, a time of peace
A time you may embrace
A time to refrain from embracing
To everything turn, turn, turn
There is a season turn, turn, turn
And a time to every purpose under Heaven
A time to gain, a time to lose
A time to rain, a time of sow
A time for love, a time for hate
A time for peace, I swear it's not too late

I agree to an extent I really do, but I have to say, this team is different than the last few. There IS an instinct with this team, a true beleaf in eachother. O'Rielly has had a huge impact, and Matthews and Marner have SHOWN UP.

Hopefully they can prove me right this Thursday, and put their foot on the throat, full throttle, peddle to the metal, all in, game 7 type intensity baby.

Auston Matthews to Darren Pang: "Job's not finished"

f***ing love it

This is what we need to hear. And then on Wednesday we need to see the job finished.
