Holmberg is unreal. All of a sudden he has caught fire out of nowhere. I was just gonna ask "did any recent SC winner have a winger as bad as Holmberg in their top 6?" Then he scores the tying goal. Unreal.

It may be unrealistic, but he is paid to be. And, he is paid to be a guy, that when he is having an off night, to still be one of the better players on the ice.
No one was good in the first 30 minutes. Once the team actually got playing, he was good.
He looks so damn slow though, and is fumbling pucks all the time. That pass to him in OT should have been a shot on net at a minimum!

We just don’t wanna go in a shootout. Game was crazy. Marner with ridiculous skills. Robertson with a hell of a game. If he can play more like this he should be on the team in the playoffs.

That Homlberg, man, he is so hot right now.
Gord Miller said Stolarz stole the game tonight.
That's not true you can't steal a 5-4 win, you can't allow 4 goals and steal a win.
The reality is the boys won him a game tonight.
And that's OK because he's done A LOT more then his fair share all season.
They owe Stolarz about 15 more of these games.

He was good along with Robertson while the big boys sans Mo and Mitch weren't.
Mitch looks different, like he beleafs in himself again.

Top guys were gassed after an extended shift and needed to get off the ice. Holmberg has done well lately with goals in his last couple, so Berube rod the hot hand and it paid off.
Robertson too, who set up Holmberg to tie it.

Say what you want about Holmberg but he plays the game the right way and gets involved.
Goes to the dirty areas, willing to take a hit to make a play and plays with a nice amount of intensity.
He’s “on fire” by the standard of a player who rarely ever scores, but let’s not act like 2 empty net gifts from Nylander play into an “on fire” trend. Nice to see him get a couple of actual goals though.
We need the depth, whoever it is, to keep putting pucks in the net.

Was ready to flame the Leafs for not showing up, but glad I didn't just yet and they really came out to play in the 3rd. 
Didn't think they had it in them, but happy they proved me wrong. Stolarz had one or two unlucky ones get past him, but he still kept them in the game when called upon. Robertson came up big and now lets hope he can keep it going and really establish himself as deserving a regular spot in the lineup and shut all the people up who keep wanting to trade him.

The top line was gassed, they were out there for over 2 mins before Holmberg and Robertson came on
I disagree largely on intensity but I’ll give you the first two

What was up with Nylander, though? Looked like he was in a bit of discomfort on the bench and did not play in the OT at all.
He's played well since the break, as has NR. Which is cool since NR set up Holmes for the tying goal.
yea looked like he was favouring his hand and wrist, I am a little worried, plus Tanev

Most folks around here had a circle jerk when the McMann/Domi/Robertson had a few good games, too. Guys like this get hot for a bit then fall off. Same with every team.

Just want to mention that Morgan Rielly had a goal, four points, was +3 on the night, and logged 27:39 TOI (highest on either team).
