They did what they had to do in avoiding a sweep. Now to embarrassing themselves again on home ice.

And what if they don't? Why not just be positive about it until you know the result?

 

[TiMo15]

Try the best, cores show up, better defense. Eventually win will come.

 

[Statsman1]

OK, boys, win tonight, and I will believe again. Do not blow this one on home ice - the time to put up is NOW.

Go Leafs Go!!

 

[Willchel Marlynder]

Matthews won't be held off the score sheet forever (I hope). I expect him to score tonight. Blocked shots are great to see, but he needs to hop into his time machine and bring the 2020 wrister back.

 

[howlman]

Win tonight, and really put some pressure on Florida having to win Game 6 back in Florida to close out the series.

Matthews needs to bury one tonight. Snipe one past Bobrovsky

One game at a time. My worst fear would be the hope this team would give everyone if they make it back home for Game 7. At that point an epic choke would hurt so dearly. All those demons please erase them. Again, one game at a time

#Leafsin7

Lets gooooooooo

 

[horner]

Go to the net boys greasy goals

ORielly will lead us

 

[The Management]

One game at a time. One foot in front of the other.

 

[Darcy Tucker]

I finally got that nervous excitement for a game back in me. What a feeling to wake up to.

 

[JT AM da real deal]

GLG .. another grit grinder game Keefer .. it is da only way to win .. 2-1 or 1-0 whatever .. simple stupid no mistake hockey is perfect .. take an icing here and there totally fine .. always remember this is not regular season hockey where u r trying to impress da season ticket corporates clients or da TV watchers .. this is for da boys in 2nd deck who only care about winning period .. Mitchy nothing dumb you don't have to do anything more but play good D .. more screen shots on Bobbo are perfect as is dumping puck in corner when you don't have a pass .. you don't need to win da game but you can lose it for us .. Matty same thing .. play mistake free hockey and wait for PP where you can shoot shoot shoot

GLG!!!!! One game at a time. Make 3-2 head back to Florida and put some nervousness into the Panthers. Game 6 will be a massive game because you know if we win tonight, Florida will do everything to end it on their home ice, they want nothing to do coming here for a game 7. As much as Tkachuk wants to say about having no pressure. A win tonight by the Leafs puts all the pressure on them

 

[Suntouchable13]

Clearly, you can not lose 5 games at home if you want to advance further in the playoffs.

 

[The Masters]

Leafs gotta play on their toes tonight and go for the jugular. If they win this, FLA is going to really feeeeel it.

 

[crump]

If Holl is playing I want his face in front of shots.

I’m torn. Matthews is probably not producing quite as well because he is matched up against a selke winning ppg Center. Matthews is easily holding his own against Barkov and looks more dangerous and just as capable defensively. The two are neutralizing each other. Do you keep playing them against each other or try to move away from the matchup like they seemed to be trying in the previous games one and two at home?

 

[AvroArrow]

Hoping for another effort like we saw in game 4. Also keep finishing your checks on Bennett. Play physical and punish him with clean checks on every opportunity.

 

[Nineteen67]

Relax and play with relentless puck pursuit like last game, and they’ll likely win.

 

[TMLeafer]

Need to get back on track on home ice. Go Leafs Go!!

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

One shift at a time.

I liked your post not because I liked what you said but because its the truth. The Leafs are the crushers of hope. Just when you start to have faith in them they say ...WOOOOOOOAAAA there mister, we can't have none of that faith and hope stuff around here.

Tkachuk has been invisible the last two games, Dirtbag Sam has been absent except for the end of last game when he was punching a Leaf who was prone on the ice and couldn't defend himself. So skating up to a player and fighting him face to face, the LV guy challenged Nurse to a fight on the previous face off, gets Nurse a one game suspension but when there is a dog pile on a guy, he's pinned down and he can't defend himself, you're free to punch him in the head and bounce his head off the ice, as much as you want. Oh and feel free to Judo throw (he did it shitty but its a lot like a combination of a poorly executed an ouch gari & Georgian Bear hug), your opponent head into the boards / ice, that's cool too.) Those guys are gonna show up, they are big show players and there is nothing bigger in hockey than Toronto playoff hockey.

We are gonna wilt under the pressure of playing at home. hate to say it but a 1-4 record at home and a 5-1 record on the road, kinda proves my statement.

 

[Burnie97]

Maybe in time for game 7 if they get there.

 

[ToneDog]

Need to get back on track on home ice. Go Leafs Go!!

Too good at home to go 1-5 at home for the playoffs. Odds are good we go back to Florida for game #6.
