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

[zeke]

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....

Good call.

lol my brother did the same. he was shocked when i texted him. honestly i would have too if i had better things to do.

I didn't. Some bad show on Netflix lol. The whole time I sat pissed off stewing about the Leafs.

These crowds have been phenomenal. I'm so used to the first 10 rows being populated by a bunch of snobby looking suits. It's so refreshing to see fans making our building rival anyone's.

I didn’t think I they could do it without Lili.

I workout or go for a walk. Was making the kiddos lunch for the final 5, gotta stay busy

 

[CabanaBoy5]

Is it just me or does Cooper have a smackable face?

 

[HellasLEAF]

^^^
Nope, not just you.

I did the opposite. Just didn't watch until I thought the game might be nearing the end. Turns out it was the start of the 3rd period.

I saw the good part, but my heart wasn't ready for that.

 

[Shooter2x]

Lost in all this is Nylander finally celebrated for one of his goals

Serious face streak ends

 

[wingman75]

spezza for coach!

I have firmly believed since he signed here, that once he retires, he takes up a position within the organization. I don't think he is leaving Toronto... it is home.

 

[PromisedLand]

This is why he needs to play

Joe Bowen call on Matthews GWG.

We need Joe Bowen back. Holy shit the passion calling the Leafs game. I really miss it.

 

[JSn0w93]

I didn’t think I they could do it without Lili.

I'm as big a Liljegren fan as almost anyone, but if this team is relying on a rookie defenceman who has played mostly soft minutes to win in the playoffs that is a bad sign.

Good thing that isn't the case.

 

[LeafSteel]

They have a chance to shut people up on Thursday about having killer instinct to close things out and put their foot on their opponents necks…..

…… or they will just add more fuel to that fire.

Let’s see who shows up on Thursday.

 

[wingman75]

Everybody ok? No one did anything really stupid when they were down 2?

I did not snap at my wife like I did on Monday... I tried to convey my disgust in a calmer manner lol

 

[BertCorbeau]

We need Joe Bowen back. Holy shit the passion calling the Leafs game. I really miss it.

Cuthbert is good .. not Bowen level enthusiasm, but way better than Hughson.

A rock is better than Hughson. At least the play by play would be more accurate.

 

[TheGreatOne11]

Amazing win, happy the big 4 showed up tonight, which they did.

Campbell kept us in it.

Now can we, for the first time in forever as leaf fan, CLOSE OUT A F*CKING SERIES.

Step on their throats, peddle to the floor, do not give them room to breathe.

Please come out like its a game 7, I'm telling you now, this will be the hardest series until the cup finals if we can win.

From my generation to yours...

"FINISH HIM"

 

[Madap]

How’s that for mental fortitude? Great win boys.

I bet this choke job by Tampa is a bigger blow to them mentally than the first game this series.

 

[Mr_Fun]

We need Joe Bowen back. Holy shit the passion calling the Leafs game. I really miss it.

"YES, YES, YES!!!"

 

[Dragao6]

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.

Everything u said is true

But is the criticism not warranted?
They don’t get out of this series same criticism comes right back
And rightfully so

We haven’t had real success in so long we don’t even know what it smells like so until it happens it will be insufferable and rightfully so

I love this team and their players but if they don’t win I’m ok with making changes
All I want is to see the leafs win!

 

[cupcrazyman]

And just like that we Leaf fans put our jerseys back on !

 

[Gallagbi]

I did the opposite. Just didn't watch until I thought the game might be nearing the end. Turns out it was the start of the 3rd period.

I saw the good part, but my heart wasn't ready for that.

Just too much disappointment for too long on my end. I find I can watch more when we're down because there's nowhere to go but up

 

[PromisedLand]

Matthews unlocking his physicality is a game changer.

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

This!

I love playoff Rielly.
