Thats right Cooper. Leafs are so awesome; everybody gets weak knees, bendsover and just gives their thing to the Leafs. Leafs generously "take" what has been "given"
Don't forget all the Cups we've been "given" over the last 50 years. We are truly the NHL's most favoured team.
Man, the one game I don't watch because I am busy and they win and actually come out to play. So what exactly did I miss?
What did you miss? Everything there is.
 
well, what a game.
the boys really stepped up, all of them, and did it.
would be nice to clinch in Tampa, yes?

That’s a game that very well could be a stepping stone. Or we could very well lose the next 2. I don’t know what to say except helluva game. Bout time this series had one.
 
Had to leave for hockey half way through the game, which I wasn't too upset about considering the way we had been playing and a ton of stupid calls but heard a bunch of the guys going nuts in the rink during my game, so I knew we had come back. Was a great surprise to get back to the room to find out we got the win. Great job boys!!!
 
It's okay to say he had a good game. No one is calling him a Norris candidate.

Zero chance Keefe was sitting Tavares or Nylander. There was a possibility with Holl.


Let's win game 6 and not find out!




He used to be a liar....I mean lawyer, so of course he is.


I'm in your will, so I can't stop trying.

It's everyone.

He'll get some games if we go on a run.

Where are all the frauds ripping Holl and Keefe's lineup decisions? Believe in this coach. LFG BABY!!!!!!!
Keefe delivered what they asked for. Everyone is friends again. (Minus Holl but Lil is sick (As in great) so I'm not going to say we lose if Lil played).
 
Well holy f*** if that didn’t check all the boxes.

- Campbell. Clutch
- Captain my Captain. Yup
- Nylander. Just being big in big moments
- Top line. Yes.
- Probably paying more attention then I should but Holl very good.

I don’t know right? Nothing matters that much until 4 wins. But tonight was a team that got jumped off the gun, said f*** all that, dig in and did it. Next up
 
Was at game tonight. Man the crowd was down once we got down 2-0 early, but when the momentum started going our way that’s the most electric thing I’ve ever been apart of. Thought matthews was unreal tonight I haven’t seen him throw his weight around like he did tonight his entire career, and the crowd definitely noticed it. What a come back.

The watch party of 8 I was with was electric lol... couldnt even imagine how the arena was.
 
Just remembering those Bruins series - we would have to move heaven and earth to get anything by Rask but with Vasi we can crack him so easily when we actually play.

Before the series so much was made of Vasilevsky being the stone that sinks the Leafs' ship but it hasn't been anywhere close to the truth.

for the next game, we need our grinders to shoot more on odd-man rushes. kerfoot made one too many passes there. also, we have to make sure we can clear our zone. kase giving the puck away after mcdonough made it 3-3 and tampa almost scored was almost game over as it would have deflated the team. finally, we have to adjust on the power play. it doesn't seem that dangerous. rielly not having a shot is really apparent.

Helluvagame!

NHL.com has the three stars as Nylander, Tavares, and Matthews.

Personally, I say Campbell, Vas, and Nylander.

Either set is good.

My biggest complaint is lack of intensity after we score. Seconds after we tie it 2-2, they are in on a 2-1 break. This is why we so often get in trouble shortly after we score - Tampa comes on like gangbusters and we collapse in our end until we get tired and take a penalty.

Yeah the Nylander goal doesn't go in a few years ago. Same with the Kampf GWG in game 3

Vas has definitely looked human through 5 games. I hope it stays that way lol
