Boys are going to come out flying, I’m feeling a blow out. No one can keep the rocket of the score sheet twice.
Let’s GO!!!!!!!

I literally lost sleep last night because of this freakin' game. Terrible anxiety sleep....waking up a million times...not getting back to sleep...etc. Hopefully, this is a good omen because I was very calm and confident on Thursday. LOL

Keefe is getting into Babcock-stubborn territory over his refusal to bench Thornton at this point. Same deal if it turns out he's responsible for not replacing the PP coach. Both of these situations are months old and completely unacceptable.
Yup, Keefe really dropped the ball putting him in over guys like Gally or even Engvall . He did the same thing with johnsson last year in game 5. Hadn't played since January and just threw him in game 5. Hopefully the boys come out hard and take this one. Going down 0-2 into Montreal without Tavares is gonna be hard to overcome.
This Core Group has had enough passes over the years .... No more excuses - Win or heads need to roll!

I agree 100%
chiarot clipped JT to knock him down in the first place. I was hoping Foligno would take him behind the woodshed.
I think the Habs will look at the Jets and know what they need to do. I see Montreal winning game 2. I hope to God I'm wrong.

I see myself not liking what you just said. Leafs in 6. Boys rally around JT and he makes a return against the Peg round 2. Leafs forever let's go boys.

You ever tried melatonin? I thought it was all rubbish until a girl i was seeing had the gummies and offered me one, best sleep i had in a long time.
You can't take them every night but i take them the odd night for a good guaranteed great sleep. You can order them off amazon 60 for like 15 bucks.
Just sayin it worked for me.
Whoever I quoted was implying that Marner was basically useless in the Playoffs.
I'm not implying anything, I am stating a fact. The fact is that he leads the team in Playoff points in the past 26 games.
If you don't like the way the points were achieved, that's your prerogative.
Feels like a while since we saw a win.
I wanted the boys to play out the season strong because I thought it might be hard to ramp up once the playoffs started. A win tonight will go a long way towards easing that fear.

Take a lap there bud.
A long walk off a short pier would probably do him some good too honestly
I think you're taking the Gretzky example a little too literally. Think conceptually.
Um.........

No problem with seeing Nash on the ice, his defense is good to have in defensive zone faceoffs, he shut down our best. The team had to adjust and re-balance the offense after Taveres went down though. The score is probably different if Tavares didn't get injured, just from the semblance of normality of the lines and assignments. Leafs had to play 50 minutes of jumbled hockey and they still barely lost to the most boring, uninspiring hockey team in the league (I know, because I've been subjected to their games all season).
I always thought that Galchenyuk should have started though, especially against his draft team. You want all the motivated players you can get and he is fighting for an NHL career. If anyone is going to forecheck and not back down when trying to get to the net, I would think it would be him.
Depth is a luxury.
I hope you're right. I've just got no confidence this team can rise to the occasion when there's an emotional reason at stake. Seems every time they fall flat - Kaskisuo debut, Tavares back to the Island - elimination games etc. Wish I wasn't so jaded.

Must Win !!!
Understatement of the year.
Leafs tie up the series today and they're back in the drivers seat as we head into a best of 5 as the heavy favourites.

Depth is a luxury if it's properly used. Nash is not good. He hasn't been good and on top of that he's coming from a knee injury and hasn't played few months when other players are in already in form and shape
We have Gally and Engvall. Both who can skate and shoot and has decent size. Both you know what they bring. One of them was just picking up his game with 4 goals in 6 games
Instead you go with a guy who team hasn't played with, hasn't played in 2 months and has a knee injury and pretty much on his way out of NHL
Habs are a good skating team and you need skaters. We are already slow with Joe, Spezza and Simmonds
