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

[definedMF]

Cannot fathom the gut check game we just had.

I am impressed. No doubt.

 

[lebdafor norris]

Hopefully this is a start of a long streak for JT, also love the energy Gio had throughout the game, he looked 28 instead of 38.

 

[Matty Sundin]

That was the most intense leaf game I can remember watching

 

[francis246]

Nylander single handedly changed his narrative this year

It’s not Nylander alone, it’s the entire core. They are showing they can fight. Which is why I said yesterday. If they lose will I be disappointed? Hell yes, but I won’t have the same feeling as despair that I did last year when they lost against MTL

 

[saffronleaf]

what an incredible comeback. unreal.

nylander 1g 2a, jt 1g 1a, matthews with the GWG in epic fashion, marner all over the ice dominant

Campbell scary start but held it down after that despite there being some great chances for tampa




yea so about that stuff I said at the end of the 1st period...

 

[Kurtz]

Holy shit, that's the most exciting Leaf game in about 20 years.

 

[rdogg]

Fire keefe Dubas and trade Nylander I said lol. Man what. A comeback

The series isn't over yet, but I was also going nuts when they were down 0-2

What a ride

 

[Atrusai]

Holy ****, boys! I got to admit, down 2-0 early I thought we were in for some pain... but Soupy made some huge saves to let the offense get going and damn... 1 win away from eliminating the b2b champs and finally break the curse.

 

[Ginger Papa]

Congratulations my Leafs friends!​

Crowd gets 1st Star!​

What a Game!​

Your Boys did it​

See you all next GDT

 

[OVO16]

THE PLAYOFF INTENSITY FROM THE STAR PLAYERS I WAS FINALLLY ASKING FOR!!

Playing with Swagger??? Hitting??? Aggression??? SHooting???

It finally happened

 

[Rob Brown]

Let’s goooooooo

 

[justloveleafs]

Who knew? Unfathomable. Lol.

My tell? The smirk on Keefes face after the last loss. He knew as well.

 

[leafsfan5]

There are moments that change the course of a franchise

Make this win be that moment. Play with this passion the rest of the playoffs and we'll go all the way

 

[Metroid]

Just like I said
Keep it simple , get a goal a period and win 3-2.

Shame on ya'll being super negative right off the bat even tho you had reason to.
Leeeeeets fuiuucking goooooooo

 

[deprw]

If we just could play like that in every f***in game.

 

[Teeder Keon]

Some great saves in the third when it really counts.

Other than 2-3 goals he’s a been incredible warrior

 

[sxvnert]

GAME 7 incoming

 

[2 Slick]

I thought the game was over after that horrific first period. I felt like it was shades of game 4 all over again. Boy, do I like being proven wrong.

Thanks Tavares, Nylander, Matthews and Marner for making me eat crow. Mmmm, delicious, if the hate pumps them up, then I'll continue to praise when they do well, hate when they mail it in.

Nice bounce back game, nice bounce back for Campbell who was pretty awful in the first period.

So happy to see them with a comeback win. Felt good as ever.

 

[The Blueprint]

Totally gave up on this team after the first. Glad they made me eat my words. Finish this thing boys.

 

[TheShape]

Big big win. We can be critical of the core 4 but they lead the comeback here tonight.

I have no idea what to expect out of this team next game, could be 4-0 TB after the first period or are we going to see this resolve again?. For the love of God just win

 

[Aashir]

It’s not Nylander alone, it’s the entire core. They are showing they can fight. Which is why I said yesterday. If they lose will I be disappointed? Hell yes, but I won’t have the same feeling as despair that I did last year when they lost against MTL

I’m just talking specifically about this series

He was getting shit…a lot and he shut everyone up with this game alone

 

[Havoc]

Nylander's heart to get rocked when he cut to the net injected more energy than 100000 useless fights would have into the team. No way they were going to lose this game after that.

 

[glue]

Unreal…please same team show up in Tampa game 6 and this one is over!

 

[Suntouchable13]

Never in doubt. Lol great comeback after that start. Two kicks at the can for a series win.

I'd rather they just don't think that way. We need to step on their throats on Thursday and finish this. I know it's going to be hard, but they have to do it.

 

[1specter]

The big guys all stepped up here
