GDT: Just Win | Stanley Cup Playoffs - Round 1 - Game 7: Bolts @ Leafs | 7:00 p.m. EST | CBC, TNT

[Leaf Rocket]

I think I'm going to join you guys tonight for the GDT instead of the one on the main board. Really hope you can eliminate Tampa and put us all out of our misery.

while im glad you are joining us...

I am also kind of horrified due to your name and combo you speak of...

 

[therealkoho]

Game 7, Vasilevskiy posts the shutout

Dammit why the Leafs?

 

[SwissLeaf]

I woke up at 5am. Now it's almost 10 pm... I'm going to sleep for 3 hours now.

See you later - happy pre-drinking!

GO LEAFS GO!

A Tool parody I wrote which is undefeated so far, with a Leafs flavour



We know the Leafs won’t quit
’Cause we‘ve seen how they can play
Stifle and smother please
The snipers of the Lightning

Slow starts leave our Team exposed
They need to start with more emotion
So frustrating how it goes
Now Win Game 7 elimination

The fight that fueled our Season then
Come on let‘s go, we need it so
We cannot let this be the end
Battling our elimination

We know this Team has grit
’Cause we‘ve watched them throwing down
Need to score, shoot all Game
Raise the puck, aim much higher
To beat Vasy, fire it over
Play your hardest, now or never
To win Game Seven, jinx is severed
With Tampa’s elimination

The energy
That comes from these Playoffs really seem
To make the roller coaster worth livin’
Now find a way to win Game Seven

There was a time when we must admit
We thought we’d be blown away
Humble but now believing
Our Boys will beat Lightning

We’ve seen them play enough to know
The danger of this core, not second guessing
Auston angry, he can impose
His Will to avoid elimination

OT losses have
A tendency to
Exaggerate any
Sense of fan‘s passion

Between HF sisters and brothers
Between devoted Leafs lovers

We know the Team won’t quit
Not a little, not one bit
Matthews, Marner perfect fit
Defense will play with grit
Our Boys they are, so close-knit
Heart & soul, all of it
From Tampa kick some shit
Win Game 7, we got this!

ps. Nice GDT @willmma

 

[BrannigansLaw]

God am I moron for watching this again.

We all are.

For the sake of our sanity, I hope they win tonight. Last game was just gut wrenching. All I want is a series win. Even if they get knocked out next round, I’m happy with at least that.

 

[MayonnaiseOreo]

while im glad you are joining us...

I am also kind of horrified due to your name and combo you speak of...

Just embrace it.

 

[Optimist]

My Border Collie is ready to go!!

 

[ALine]

I was pumped all day but now we got thunder storms popping off up here in Grey county this is ominous boys. Now I can’t even have deck beers to calm the nerves

 

[zeke]

They're showing game 5 right now and Willy just scored.

 

[Lawrence Slewfoote]

I’m not decided but I may get up at 1am for this one and watch it live instead of tomorrow. They have what it takes this time, everyone just needs to execute. That, and the hockey gods owe us FFS!

They have what it takes, absolutely. They've shown us that in this series. It's the psychological pressure that I'm not so sure they can handle now in game 7

 

[SoVi3t]

No doubt

Maximum confidence

Go Leafs Go

Get ready for the biggest emotional roller coaster of your life

 

[New User Name]

This is what I know.

The NHL wants an all Florida series.
ESPN wants an all Florida series.
USA hockey wants an all Florida series.
The state of Florida wants an all Florida series.
The republican and democrat parties want an all Florida series.
Joe Biden and Donald Trump want an all Florida series.
The Lightning and Panthers want an all Florida series.
The wives and families of the players want an all Florida series.
Fans of NHL teams, other than Leafs fans, want an all Florida series.
The NHL Officiating staff want an all Florida series.
Canadian hockey fans that are not Leafs fans vacationing in Florida want an all Florida series.

so all I can say is

GO LEAFS GO

 

[Mess]

Get ready for the biggest emotional roller coaster of your life

 

[Alamo Leafer]

Maybe you should put Tampa's crest where the Florida crest is and say that you wanna see that tonight.

except I'm no good at these things. Stole that one from the net somewhere lol.

 

[PhiladelphiaKessel]

Expecting a loss here so it won’t hurt too bad when it happens. Probably wouldn’t even know how to react if they won, even trying to imagine that possibility is real hard

 

[DarkKnight]

Love Bill’s pregame presser, confident but mature.

How many times have I tried to write a good song parody centered around the Leafs? Not sure, but it's more times than I've succeeded (twice). Here is the one that I actually posted on this board. I think you'll appreciate it.

Name a scrub from the bad old days

Alright, now let’s write a remix to Billy Joel’s “We Didn’t Start The Fire” entitled “We Didn’t Make The Playoffs”, and include all the names from this thread :sarcasm: For the love of god, someone make this happen I might not be able to write the whole thing, but the last line will be "Frazer...

You should watch the video at the same time. It's meant to match nearly syllable-for-syllable.

 

[zeke]

Hawk just stopped by to say leafs win.

 

[mrJT]

One game to conquer past failures.

Please just Win.

 

[Vaive50]

Exactly, isn't it funny that we are so used to so much going wrong for us in game 7's (choking, forgetting how to score, Phantom calls, no calls on opposition) even after a record breaking season, that we have no idea how to react if we win. I don't even know how to imagine us winning, it just seems like a fairy-tale that'll never come true.

And this is a season where one of our players is the best in the league and has potential for so much hardware (Rocket is locked, others are possible), even of our greats post-original 6 (Sittler, Vaive, Gilmour, Sundin) only Gilmour had one hardware (Selke in 93).

 

[Rogue Leader]

I am posting to become part of history! Tonight the curse will be broken! I have full faith tonight is the magic night!

 

[Mr_Fun]

My dad used to work for the Toronto Sun about 30 years ago. He kind of hated the whole hockey culture vibe but would actually cheer for the Leafs to win just so he didn't have to endure the morose doom and gloom for the next week or so at the office. Reading this board, I can see exactly where he was coming from. lol

GLG!

 

[DarylO]

Refs will let everything go tonight outside of sticks to the face, so the guys need to be prepared to push back and battle through.
