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

[saffronleaf]

looking at the replay more carefully I think the JT goal should go to Willy (puck went off TB dman)

 

[robertmac43]

Watching the highlights, the pop after the Nylander goal was insane

 

[Metroid]

So no one's seen Mess?

He's coming up with a backhanded compliment, he needs time.

 

[PromisedLand]

Well playing in front of a full home crowd does make a difference. Something this team didn't have in 2020 and 21.

We got a PP goal because Crowd called the penalty. Matthews was clearly tripped but refs didn't wanna call it until crowd called the penalty

 

[Dragao6]

Spezza showing huge leadership. Please god let us win the next game by a huge score and a shutout.

A hypothetical
Please don’t think I’m already thinking ahead
Getting win #4 gonna be hard as hell but….
Imagine we go all the way and win it, Spezza comes home to play for leafs and wins the cup

How important will this speech be that he made

 

[LeafsFan89]

I stopped watching after the first. Kept checking the box score. Tuned in for a bit of the second when it was 3-3. And decided that the Leafs will break my heart again and turned it off. They proved me wrong for the first time in 26 years as a Leafs fan. Don't know how to feel lol.

Glad they won.

SOUPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP is all I have to say! Big save after big save! LFG!!!!!!

 

[Gabriel426]

The moment Nylander cut to the net for a scoring chance not caring that he would get hit; that to me meant team decided that they are gonna bring it; come what may....

That was big and also the Spezza hit toward the end of the first was huge.

 

[Dangles McGavin]

Oh baby. What a win to watch from the stands!

I was pretty down on them in the first, but love that they didn't give up and rallied.

Atmosphere wasn't quite like it was in the first, but the fans turned it on in the third for sure.

What a game to be at! After the first I was thinking "imagine spending money to go to this?".

Those in attendance made it known that it was our barn. Huge win.

 

[HEAVY DUTY]

All of us tonight

- Kapanen 2OT win

The next game with the OT win was also a wild one. To go up 2-1 on back-to-back OT wins against the president's trophy winners!

My goodness what a fun time that was!

 

[Budz]

Watched this game from a resort in Jamaica with like 30 other leaf fans going crazy when 34 made it 3-4.

Ya Mon - every ting is IRE.

Leafs fans if this goes to game 7 again.

 

[Azazel]

We got a PP goal because Crowd called the penalty. Matthews was clearly tripped but refs didn't wanna call it until crowd called the penalty

Crowd deserves a star for calling out the penalties the refs missed

 

[BayStBullies]

All of us tonight

Someone needs to animate this like the Matthews anime gif

 

[Gallagbi]

JT was really good tonight which was great to see. I get where some of the aggressive flack comes from but I think people have been too harsh on him

In fairness he looked different tonight. He was quicker and more aggressive in almost all ways. He's looked "safe" to me this series and that's not when he's at his best

 

[banks]

Man, this place was insufferable during the first period. All you posters who were tearing the team to shreds and listing who should be fired/traded should seriously take this moment to check yourself.

That said, let's all enjoy this win together now. It's pretty special.

I believe in this team.

 

[ThrowDemTongs]

I'm sorry I called them shidiots. I was drinking

 

[PromisedLand]

Willy said f*** all the talking about "we have to be better", he made himself better and took over a what was a lost game.

His will to win was more gutsy than getting decapitated making that power move to the net.

If you look at Willy's shifts for the entire series even in the games 2 and 4. He is the only one who played attacking hockey when he had the puck on his stick (disregard the flyby in gm 4; he cut to the net today the only Leaf to do so)

 

[ECanuck]

The next game with the OT win was also a wild one. To go up 2-1 on back-to-back OT wins against the president's trophy winners!

My goodness what a fun time that was!

2017. I was in Tampa area and remember trying to find sports bars to watch the game. Good memories.

Everybody BeLeafs. Even the posters ranting and moaning in the GDTs. If they didn't BeLeaf or cared they wouldn't be wasting their time in the GDTs they would rather do something else with their life

So chill with telling Leafs fans to suck on something or whatever....

Definitely true but there's definitely a number of fake fans. Would name them but I'd gt infracted.

 

[HEAVY DUTY]

Joe Bowen call on Matthews GWG.

 

[Gallagbi]

He's coming up with a backhanded compliment, he needs time.

Needs to hit the minimum word count afterall

 

[al secord]

I'm not sure they're teaching proper grammar in the valley if that's your response.

And by "they're " I meant "they are"
