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

[Mopar]

Tampa can't lose another game or their streak is over. Huge win tonight to put their backs against the wall.

 

[ChiTownLeafer]

Did we really only have 3 shots on even strength after 2 periods?

 

[Alamo Leafer]

No he's def right.

Too many of these "fans" are nowhere to be found in the PGT after games like these

I'm here, and I would do it again, and don't care what anyone says.
After over 4 decades, I think I have the right.

They made me eat crow tonight, and I'm lovin every minute of it .

@SprDaVE

Bruh so were the socks BBQ, Baked, Grilled or raw like Sushi?

I'll eat them with my side of crow

I'm still on the fence about Soup...but that Kucherov save was the pivotal moment of the game.

Having that Spezza pep talk seemed to be critical, you can get good soup and bad soup.

Tampa D-men were literally diving in front of EVERYTHING.

 

[DanM]

Lol your team got away with a crap ton of PPs too.

You lost the plot after the first period. It was pretty much all Toronto after that.

Agreed.

He makes it sound like they allow us to win some games, just because they feel like being charitable.

Goof

 

[Stephen]

Amen.

 

[Alamo Leafer]

wow, that's unreal if true

 

[Bigmarycombo]

If we can defend the first ten minutes next game we will win. Tampa will come out hard

 

[ECanuck]

Cooper still thinks they're giving it to us lol

Well then will take it. lol

Tampa blocked a lot of our attempts or we missed the net. The Leafs had more shot attempts overall in the second and third than TB. This was actually the first game of the series where the Leafs had a 5v5 corsi above 50%

 

[leafsfan5]

Completely right Keefe. Job ain’t done.

The entire team needs this attitude

Job is not done. In fact, we're at the hardest part. It's time to put away the back to back champions

 

[ChiTownLeafer]

Tampa D-men were literally diving in front of EVERYTHING.

Credit to them if they did that. Playoff hockey. But it underscores the sentiment that leafs didn't have control of the game if they only had 3 shots on goal.

 

[Zonk]

The big thing about Matthews was that he was a monster physically. He threw some big hits.

Sergachev says it was just a flesh wound.

 

[Bellefour20]

No he's def right.

I guess with all the shit this team has put me through, I am done with the petty gatekeeping. I don't care if someone hops on a bandwagon anymore. The people who matter to me most will know what I have been through. Just try and enjoy the ride come what may.

Sorry brotha
I’ve been a fan for over 60 years
You win you lose
I’ve seen it all
No effin way I will ever give up
EVER !!!!!
I’ll get down on players here and there
I’m management here and there
But to blatantly give up , call out a loss , disrespect your team
Nope
Not having it !!!
I’ve been in way to many teams rooms and that is never acceptable
GLG

Certainly agree as a general rule. But the Leafs are a different animal. Deep rooted trauma in this fanbase, so I can’t dunk on anyone expecting a loss or getting down too early. Like I said, up to the Leafs to exorcise these demons.

 

[binop7]

The 5 on 3 Kill was absolutely heroic. Felt like a huge momentum shifter. Pk in general today was on very good.

 

[Alamo Leafer]

I don't have the stats, have they been in that position during their past 2 years' cup run?

 

[Metroid]

Instead of "tampa will come out flying in game six, gotta weather the storm" let's bring the ******* storm.

Let's being upon the mofo'n apocalypse!!

 

[Bomber0104]

Awful 1st, extremely good 2nd and 3rd's...

Overall you have to like that game, despite the bumpy start.

Credit goes to Campbell, the big names on the roster, and low-key some coaching/leadership from Keefe and Spezza to keep a lid on things.

 

[notbias]

Credit to them if they did that. Playoff hockey. But it underscores the sentiment that leafs didn't have control of the game if they only had 3 shots on goal.

in the second and third they definitely did.

 

[PromisedLand]

How the f*** did we win this game??

First,

and of course

 

[Jozay]

Crazy game, leafs looked dead in the first. Huge W.
