If the Leafs lose this series, game 7 would be our 13th straight time losing a potential series clinching game. I can’t even begin to describe how insane that would be.

We had this NHL playoff auction with a law firm at work where you bid on groups of players. I wanted to bid on a Leafs group that included Marner, Nylander, and JT but my team (we're in Calgary) wouldn't allow it. We blew most of our "cash" bidding on a group that included McDavid and Pasternak. Not a bad lot for sure, but man we'd probably be in first place with that Leafs lot.

Matthews got the team back into it and has played well the whole series
Knies still continues to impress and saved a goal
O'rielly is something this team didn't have before, FACT
I'm shocked at the Morgan Rielly turn around and I'm happy about it
Also...Samsonov has been better than Vas, continue to do what you're doing Ilya.
 
Come out with fire in game 5win .
You don't want to go bask to TB
And we don't need a game 7.

Just win boys
Don't think you can do this every time
 
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
11 hits, 4 blocks, 4 takeaways in the series. That is someone who is engaged and trying to help his team win.

When you listened to the interviews last night there is very little doubt how much he is respected and liked in the room. Both Rielly and Matthews talked about how hard he works all the time.

Kerfoot is normally the type of player Tor loves.

I still think if he was acquired any other way outside of the Kadri trade I think he is viewed quite differently

I don't disagree with you but I find those questions awkward.

'What does Alex mean to the team?' while he's sitting right next to you lol.
 
Still amazed at this win. There was a lot to be pessimistic about being down 4-1 ten minutes into the 3rd. We all saw it so I’m not going into it, but there were key moments/plays in the first 2 periods that allowed this comeback to happen. Everything from Sammy’s penalty shot save, Knies taking the puck off the goal line, Acciari’s tip clutch 3-1 goal. Kerfoot coming back covering for the pinching defenseman. Keefe finally juggling lines.

Tampa just thought they would coast to the win, then Matthews has his signature game of his career so far.

Lol.

It is very akward and of course no one is ever going to say anything different, but it's more about how they answered. Especially Rielly. Granted they have been lifelong friends

The really good news in all this is that I have seen plenty of teams that go deep pull this sort of thing off in the first round. Sometimes it galvanizes a group. It's not pretty looking from an effort standpoint but, hey a win is a win is a win.

Would love to see a blowout to end the series and let them rest up.
 
ROR 2 goals 7 points
Accari 2 goals
Jarnkrok 1 goal 2 points
ZAR 1 goal
Lafferty 1 assist

Schenn BEAST
McCabe He has hit some guys really hard and has been helpful

Total 107 hits 30 blocks.

Early returns have been huge for the guys Dubos brought in this year.
 
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.
<3

I lost my dad a couple years ago, he and I would watch every single Leafs game together for like 25 years. I didn't realize until after how many amazing moments we had together, wins/losses didn't matter. That experience and little moments are just priceless, that one last night is one I wont forget. Sure it's just 1 playoff game in the first round, but sitting there with my mom, wife and new born daughter in my arms and sharing that experience together was just phenomenal.
 
I agree, you can’t keep bunting out of the lineup. And you can’t take Knies out either
Sure you can. The team is winning. Bunting is not gaurnteed his place back.

If the Leafs lose this series, game 7 would be our 13th straight time losing a potential series clinching game. I can’t even begin to describe how insane that would be.
It wouldn't be insane at all.
 
Thursday night, dont let a single f***tard Suit in the building Get the Bank loud with some actual fans in there, Lets end this bullshit curse already. Includes, Don Cherry look alike behind the bench, replace him with Scarf lady and Geddy Lee. Lets get it poppin.
I was in the platinums on Thursday. There were no suits there. The season ticket holders were all loud and wearing jerseys. The whole suit thing is very regular season. Don't worry. It will be cracleacking there tomorrow.

lol he drafted Knies too
and signed Sammy
 
I criticized Holl after game 1 but he's been reliable with the puck in his own end especially considering he leads the defense in defensive zone start %
