1st star is no question Campbell. If he was good we would have lost, if he was very good we'd be getting ready for OT, but he was freaking stellar

 

[PromisedLand]

Hey Campbell I knew we would need you today. That is why I ordered Red Lobster last night in your honor buddy

If it wasnt for Holl this game would have been a lot more easier on all of us.

Holl's boneheaded pinch and penalty lets to fist tampa goal and momentum swing
Holl's boneheaded play led to a solid Kucherov chance, offensive zone faceoff and 2nd goal for tampa

Open your eyes Keefe

gets better with age

 

[Azazel]

My apple watch says I died 4 times in the third period.

Glad you got better

Mitch Marner has been electric.

He’s not only been the best player of this series but maybe even the best player in the playoffs.

Hands down.

 

[stickty111]

Huge win. This was more like a playoff kind of game. Campbell was amazing and came up with some huge saves.

We won despite Holl best effort trying to give TB the game.

Should've been coincidental minors man, give it a rest we won the frigging game and that, as someone else said is all that matters

[Gary Nylund]

Great game! That's 3 good games we've played now against a very strong team, we fully deserve to be leading the series 2-1. Well done boys, BOOYAH!!

Can't wait for game 4. GLG!!!!!!!

 

[CelticDruid]

Great win and a good learning experience for the boys

 

[pcruz]

Just put Willy with Matty and Marner

f*** that.

I'm not rewarding Nylander for hit apathetic games.

Those 2 need a dirty grinder (Hyman - Bunting), not more skill with a sine-wave level of effort.

 

[Confucius]

Great win I was so close to betting a hundred against us @ +360 at the end of the 1st. I figured it was worth a hundred to get a win and if we lost I'd make 360. Deci8ded not to and we won anyway, that's a win win. Thanks team great game.

 

[NoName]

They had me real worried the last 7 or so minutes of the third; they really bunkered down there, but in the end they got the win on the road, so can’t be anything but happy!

 

[SprDaVE]

I don't know why people are complaining about Holl. He was fine.

I don't know why people aren't frustrated with Boosch. He needs to sit for Liljegren more than anything. He couldn't do anything defensively.

Things the Leafs need to clean up:

1) They need to dial it back a bit on the PK when it comes to looking for offensive chances. Their game is to be aggressive but the Kerfoot play on the PK where he just stopped in the middle of the ice waiting for teammmates to catch up and hope for an odd man rush is too stupid. You can't do that vs Tampa and there's no shame in dumping the puck in on a PK.

2) Leafs need to stop galaxy braining themselves when they get the puck in the defensive zone. They love making cute short passes in high danger areas when they don't need to. It's going to burn them one of these days. Again, you cannot be making those types of plays vs a team like Tampa. You can't be doing that against any team - remember Dermott from last year.

Matthews, Marner had a really weak game tonight. They need to find a way to overcome the Cirelli line.

Tavares doesn't have it, I'd be content if he just played his matchup to an even 0 at this point. I dunno if he's playing injured or if he's doesn't match up well vs Tampa.

Engvall, Kampf, Mikeyhev is an amazing third line to have.

Big difference between this series and the Montreal series is that while the big guns have been shut down, the depth has picked up. Last year Kerfoot, Spezza and Nylander did almost all the scoring. Not good enough. This year we've gotten goals from Kampf, Engvall, Bunting, Mikeyhev, Kerfoot AS well as Marner, Matthews. Nylander has played really well but it's not going in for him. Tavares I'm worried about but if the team can prop him up, I'm fine.

 

[IPS]

And there were so called "stats" people here who wanted to trade Muzzin while thinking Holl is A star d-man

LOL

P.S. Screw you Holl for giving Tampa momentum. They had nothing gong before his boneheaded play

I loved hearing how amazing he was until our D looked the best it did all season when he got removed from it.

 

[Burnie97]

Already 5 pages lol... awesome.

Maybe 6 by the time I type this.

Mik scoring 2 lol

Really though so happy they held them off and made it easier at the end. Such a big W. I've been suckered in many times but they do really play like a team. They got a real shot here.

 

[Azazel]

I have to give props when they are due, Officiating gets my highest mark of the series, with a D+ (Would have been B but that weak ass hooking call)

 

[DarenX]

Big win, let's see what they do on mothers day.

Jack is back baby. He did his job beautifully.

 

[crump]

They weren’t together the entire game, but what a coming of age and defining game for Kampf, Engvall and Mikheyev. They were fighting through tight checking all night and sealed the win.

 

[authentic]

Please just win these next two and don't let the series drag out.
