Post-Game Talk: Leafs beat Tampa for the series lead 3-2. "One more for the good guys"

[Chief Berube]

Period 1- heart rate of a dead man
Period 2- on a light jog
Period 3- heart attack from both excitement and panic

Leeettttsss fnnnnn gooooooo! This is heart! What a comeback

Hello friends. I’ve returned to say TUCK FAMPA.

 

[HogTown06]

what an awesome crowd

The MVP chants after Matthews nailed Sergachev...

 

[Burnie97]

And I really thought Marner was that spark when we were at our lowest that started to get Matthews going and the team followed. Also Willie flying around was inspiring, his goal was world class.

I agree with Marner but Matty laid some big hits too.

The big 4 all did something to change that. Need it again.

Campbell played really well after those first 2. Great for him going into the next one I hope.

 

[saltming]

I just hope they don't roll over. Not only from past series but after how Tampa has come back and spanked the Leafs in the series after losing a game.

If the Leafs win, it will be another close 1 goal game.

Agreed.
Imo how we play game 6 will show if they have learned what it will take to win. They cannot have the, ther is always game 7 attitude.
I want them to start game 6 the way they played from the 2nd period this game and keep it up until the end. That won't mean automatic win, but that is the mind set they need

 

[HogTown06]

That was better than sex.

Right you are, fellow married man.

 

[ToneDog]

Going 7, for reasons I am not going into. Remember, this is a business. Sure was fun to watch though.

Here's hoping this does not age well.

 

[Havoc]

Mik and Engvall must be staring at each other right now ".....we have these guys on our team and coach started us?!"

What a showing by the core 4. All 4 of them. I don't do drugs but I'm going to assume this is what cocaine feels like

Disagree. Had trouble getting the puck out a lot of the night as usual. First goal was because he couldn’t get it out to a fwd that could take a pass.

 

[leafsfan5]

I’m feasting on crow tonight and I couldn’t be happier. it tastes f***ing great

If they close this out I'll eat all the f***ing crow I can handle

Prove me wrong boys!!!!

 

[Teeder Keon]

Oilers fan here. Congrats on the big win! Man I hate Tampa.

Now get lost , go lubricate something….

 

[stickty111]

That showed a ton of character. Concerning they came out like that in the 1st, but fantastic afterwards. Core guys showed up in a huge way. Jack man just wow.

 

[Gabriel426]

I went streaking down Yonge st screaming we suck we suck with my hair on fire, but that's just another Tuesday

I used to do that on Wed

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Hey fair enough man - but sometimes this D just doesn't make things easy for him.

did you read the post you qouted? because you quoted it about 10 seconds after I posted it

 

[PROUD PAPA]

Tokes are as well

I burned one after the Bolts 2nd goal.
Might make that my new ritual.

 

[leaffaninvancouver]

Amazing game, team showed a lot of heart and Campbell was solid. Win game 6, I can’t take another game 7.

I agree with Marner but Matty laid some big hits too.

Absolutely, but there was that moment when all looked lost and Marner sparked a few things, then Papi laid some body and it all snowballed. Man they were a handful after that, looked like regular season dynamic. And Willie, they were backing off everywhere. It just shows that shutdown stuff is a byproduct of our desire too. We have the best talent in the league, just own it.

 

[WestCoastLeafs]

Tough game to swallow for Steve Simmons

 

[ToneDog]

Team could have rolled over after falling behind 2 and giving up the lead. Maybe they have turned a new leaf. Now bring that killer instinct Shanny said you lacked.

 

[Guy Boucher]

Matthews unlocking his physicality is a game changer.

If you look closely at the game winner, it's his hit that creates the turnover.

 

[saltming]

I used to do that on Wed

So it was a bit crazy then?
I'm out of control

 

[HamiltonNHL]

I have not ventured off our board, and I can already taste the salt from the mains!!

Mainboards right now

 

[Daisy Jane]

LETS f***ING GOOOOO

heya cor

 

[ItsFineImFine]

The stars won them that game imo, not Keefe. Keefe has them struggling to just make passes.

Tough game to swallow for Steve Simmons

Judging by the fact he's employed, he's probably good at it.
