Pre-Game Talk: Leafs vs Lightning. Game 5

[Buds17]

The win in Game 1 was important in starting off the series on the right foot. The Game 3 win was important in being able to win a game away from home. I'd very much like to see the team come through with its biggest win yet in this one.

To anyone going to the game tonight.

Please be loud! Please be positive! Please keep up the energy! You guys can help the cause.

 

[PromisedLand]

Can Matthews and Marner beat him?

If they stop with the "cute" BS with the puck, play hard, skate, play body and not hail mary a pass they should be able to especially now since cirelli seems to be injured

if they are looking for "regular season" competition in playoffs, this being the 6th time in post season for both of them. Then I don't even know where to begin.....

ODog was bang on today.

what was he saying

I'll do my best. Really need the Leafs to start strong as it gets everyone going.

 

[PromisedLand]

They said on TSN 1050 that 80% of Game 5 home teams that win, go on to win the series.

No excuses, just get it done.

what is the % of teams winning the series up 3-1 for series lead. How often do they close the series?

When it comes to Leafs the "odds" should be taken with a grain of salt. Gotta see it to believe it.

 

[TMLeafer]

Leafs are toast if they lose 2 of the next 3

I have a good feeling for today. I believe!

 

[Legion34]

Game 5 -7 are championship time. Vasi gets a shutout tonight. Leafs have no chance.

Shutout.

Haha I don't think that's how it works but I hope I'm wrong

 

[PromisedLand]

I called in sick at work. I just cannot work today. I would have snapped at some jackass at work today guaranteed if they pissed me off; probability was very high of that happening LOL

This f***ing team I tell ya.....

You got the #passion.... sheesh.

 

[Marshy]

I am at work today but not sure I would call what I'm doing "work".... just passing time until 7:30. Really curious to see lineup changes for tonight.

I don't know if I'm more useless the day of or after. I'm usually hungover but honestly think I still do more work then compared to game day.

Kase Spezza Holl out
Clifford Simmonds Liljegren back in

My guess

Legit what's been the case for me every playoff game day this year

 

[Marshy]

Kase Spezza Holl out
Clifford Simmonds Liljegren back in

My guess

Ya with last change this is probably smart. Game 6 I don't think they want Lily and the bash bros getting a bad matchup out there.

 

[tom leafers]

no GDT yet?

 

[Rob Brown]

Who is on GDT duty?!

 

[Willchel Marlynder]

Looks like whoever takes the most penalties loses. Get Matthews out their on the PK if we start getting undisciplined.

 

[SprDaVE]

no GDT yet?

Who is on GDT duty?!

Sometimes someone has a neat GDT ready to go, it's still early. I'll make one up if it doesn't happen in a bit.

Keefe is an idiot

 

[mapleleafs34]

Trust the process guys.

I remember before Game 3 everyone was up in arms with the lineup decisions and we ended up winning the game.

 

[Burnie97]

I don't hate the lines but Clifford or Simmer could of had another look. Leafs are getting called no matter what anyway.

Holl being in over Lilly is bullshit.

Otherwise that 2nd line mainly Tavares needs to elevate his game as many have said.
