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

[Mopar]

The Big 4 gotta be feeling confident after this one. And Campbell bounced back. Look out! One more win so we can get the gorillia of pur back and go on a run.

 

[Brown Dog]

Now the challenge will be to show up on Thursday and finish this. Don't let Tampa off the mat.

But that's for tomorrow and Thursday. Tonight we celebrate! LFGLG!!!

Clutch Willy

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.

This series feels like a perfect storm to get over the hump. At times Tampa look completely gassed. If they can do this in 6 the sky is the limit for this team.

 

[Funk21]

Holl played a good game finally, still don’t understand why Liljegren has been benched.

JT needed that game and so did Willy. Solid game all around by our stars. There is no reason we can’t beat TB. Let’s get er done in TB. Save us all the drama of a game 7.

 

[Mickey Marner]

For the love of christ, please start on time for game 6.

 

[OVO16]

Fire Keefe, Dubas and Shanahan too.... wait what??????

We were up 3-1 last year. Lets chill.

This win was awesome though

 

[Kiwi]

That game was a reason to love hockey

The big boys showed and Soup stood up while we were sorting our **** out early on

One more boys, please just one more

 

[IPS]

Easily the best game of the series and in my biased view the best game of the playoffs I've watched so far. Tho there have been some sick Pens - Rangers games.

Pfft nothing even comes close to that one.

Joe Bowen:

 

[93LEAFS]

Solid heart to come back from that and Campbell held strong. Hopefully we can take this momentum into game 6, but Tampa isn't a defending two time champ for no reason.

 

[GojuLeaf]

Thank you leafs. You may not have ended the series yet, but you silenced a lot of haters and you can end it in Tampa. Just do it.

 

[DarkKnight]

If that's how Johnny keeps playing this team can make some noise

He’s always been slow, his game is tight spaces and hard plays on the puck.

 

[MapleLeafs77]

Honestly, everyone from the core stepped up:

Rielly - huge goal and great D play in 3rd
Tavares- the goal was whatever since he didn’t do anything but the pass to rielly was a great play
Nylander - unreal game…huge goal and caused the first. Multiple dangerous plays
Marner - great 2nd period and great pass for GWG

Matthews - he should have had like 4 goals tonight but was snakebite so he could have sulked but instead he started throwing massive hits to get the crowd going and his team and then finally gets rewarded with the biggest goal of the series

 

[HamiltonNHL]

I don't want to see Tampa back in Toronto. End this in game 6

Yes please !

 

[socko]

I'm so glad they started shooting. That passing and passing sometimes goes nowhere and it was taking away their game and energy.

Marner with the shot pass. Making everyone happy.

 

[al secord]

All for naught if they lay an egg Thursday. We'll worry about that then.

 

[wingman75]

I have not ventured off our board, and I can already taste the salt from the mains!!

One more you mthrfckrs!! Get it done in style in Tampa.

 

[saltming]

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

I went streaking down Yonge st screaming we suck we suck with my hair on fire, but that's just another Tuesday

 

[ShaneFalco]

Oh man there is no figuring out this team

 

[Skullz]

What a win. Lets finish them on Thursday, can't let up. NGL thought we were done. Love my boys!

 

[SprDaVE]

This is why he needs to play

 

[Darcy Tucker]

That game had everything.

 

[Statsman1]

Feels like the kind of game we would have lost until we learned to win it.

That day is today.

We gotta win this series now, right? What is left to learn here?

Go Leafs Go!

 

[PromisedLand]

And oilers are down 1-0 just like that.
