[fahad203]

Here for everyone who has been waiting for this for so long!

Only if Sammi Kapanen stayed down

 

[BertCorbeau]

I want to thank the refs tonight for not being a factor and letting the boys play .. that was some playoff hockey

Knies was a goddamn beauty on that last shift leading up to the JT goal that whole series

FTFY

 

[Blanche Blanche]

Congrats you guys. Enjoy this. I'm a Habs fan, and while I'm not going to cheer for Toronto, I love that Tampa got eliminated in round one.

Remember to drink some water tonight too.

We can hate Boston together!

I feel a bit bad for those PTSD victims who said they couldn't watch tonight, they missed a big time thrill! But at the same time I'm happy for them and I assume that many of them are OK now and can once again watch their team play.

GLG!!

Damnit I was at families house. Can’t really pull out my phone and watch the game sitting with people. Something something bad etiquette.

I think I’m gonna watch the entire game once I get home. Seriously can’t believe this shit

 

[GardinerTheForward]

the star of this series was.Smasonov, no doubt.

In all honesty, Tampa deserved to win this series. Leafs tenacity paid off though and they didn't alow T.B into their interior very often.

Consider the juggernaught, although weakened, that the Leafs just beat. The have to believe.

Imagine if Boston loses tomorrow?

Morgan was the star for us imo. Those shiners say “this is what needs to happen for us to win” without using any words. Leading by example.

Did tampa deserve to win the series? Maybe. But we deserved to win last year and got unlucky/jobbed by 2 phantom high sticks. Now its our turn to get lucky.

Go Panthers

 

[BertCorbeau]

Credit to Keefe .. we gave him shit for not playing Lily, but he saw that Knies was making a difference and stuck with him.

 

[Teeder Keon]

 

[Larcos_Unal]

If you staple Justin Holl to the press box, you're gonna have a good time

 

[Puckstuff]

That's years of trauma off the players and fans backs released... Biggest win in 20 years.

 

[frog]

The veterinnarians are pulling through! Tavares, oreilly, mccabe, simmonds, giordanov and clifford made sure leafs won this one. Acciari was great too! Best time day of the life! my live

 

[Metroid]

Woooooooooooooooo9ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooloooooooloooollllkooooooooo

 

[Shooter2x]

That series was all Luke Schenn Matthews and Rielly.

 

[Bellefour20]

So what do we make of this series? Beating Tampa in 6 is a good result but I thought the Leafs would look better than they did in this series, especially considering Tampa was missing Cernak and I'm guessing Hedman wasn't close to 100% for most of the series. Was Tampa just a lot better than the regular season indicated?

They looked calm and determined. They didn't need to dominate. They didn't play desperate or defeated. They knew if they played patient, they could get it done. Bieksa was saying it all night.

 

[Superstar]

That was some beautiful board work by Knies and a beautiful primary assist to Tavares for the OT series clinching winner!

Tampa rope a doped the regular season. Obviously they have a strong group still, not the cup winning group but the offensivd zone domination is still there. The difference this year was Vas was pedestrian and we exposed his weakness.

I fully expect the Leafs to be more dominant now. They have the confidence now. They didn’t play their best and still won the series in 6. Sammy is the real deal now. confidence will be soaring.

 

[The Best Leafs Everr]

Knies with OT assist,lets go boy!!

 

[BertCorbeau]

Again on the Keefe note .. won with 11 forwards and 7 defensemen .. I hate that set up. But it worked tonight.

 

[notbias]

The people leading the team are who you want to be leading the team...

 

[Teeder Keon]

 

[Tufted Titmouse]

Luke Schenn was somehow our most important deadline acquisition. He played some very good hockey and some very important minutes, and he brought Mo to life.

 

[Aashir]

Tavares can have his 11 million

Bonne chance aux Leafs!!
