The JT redemption arc starts now. What an amazing game by the Captain.

Willy phenomenal. Played a pivotal role in the comeback. What a dirty snipe on Vasi

Matthews and Marner.... What can I say. Superstars through and through. What a shot/pass by Marner and Matthews puts it away like the stud he is.

Campbell. Amazing. Made some huge save down the stretch

Everyone else, love you all. What a team effort tonight.
 
We live to see another day baby

So... are we waiting to fire everyone again?

I had to change the channel at 2:50 left and they were still playing like 10mins later right when Tampa almost got one and my heart thumped pretty bad...

Great second half to a playoff game. The boys play like that, win or lose, they will have my respect. GLG! Great comeback win. If that don't give you confidence to pull out the guillotine on Thursday I don't know what else.

Nylander and Tavares save the team in a lot of ways that game. Crazy game.
 
Matthews got the winner but I have to give A LOT of credit to Tavares and Nylander because they stepped up HUGE in that game

we needed those 2 to break through and they did

and now we need it from them 1 more time

Tampa is 16-0 the last 2 years when coming off a loss

let's make that 16-1
 
The number of wins this core has surprised me with up to now equal zero.

I did not have faith. So happy to be proven wrong.

That final 40 was a thing of beauty. Every guy laying it on the line. Soupy holding strong after the tough start.

60 minutes of the same on Thursday is mandatory!!

Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
 
Character win that took guts.

Honestly thought they were dead in the water, especially after going down 2 early. But the fact that they had JT/Nylander step up finally when they needed took the pressure off Matthews/Marner to score all the goals.

Having the top two lines gain some momentum is critical at this point.

But man, winning that series clincher against Tampa is going to be f***ing HARD. Hope the boys are ready for that push, otherwise it's going to be a laugher and the Leafs will have to find a way in game 7.

It's time!!!
 
I'm so glad they started shooting. That passing and passing sometimes goes nowhere and it was taking away their game and energy.
They keep expecting Vasi to shut the door so they overcompensate, yet it never happens.
