Man, this is so much better than the dark years. There's a lot of pressure riding on this game, but I'm just having a coffee and enjoying that this team is really freaking good. Remember when Peter Holland was our #1C for a few games? We've come so far in the rebuild and while it hasn't been the parade we promised ourselves, I'm sure as hell happy that we're here. This team has not been fun to follow in May's and Junes of late, but I sure as hell like watching them play hockey.

Hope our boys thrash them tonight. I tell ya, I'm bored of the 1st round jokes, god I'm so bored of them.

PLEASE DON'T START THE GAME IN A HORRIBLE WAY!!!!!
CHECK! CHECK! CHECK!

 

[TheDoldrums]

On the Tampa board there are some posts about how they'll still be happy and content with a loss because of how awesome the last two years were.

Please God or whatever higher power is out there, please understand that we will NOT be okay with a loss. We will all be devastated. We are a desert and they are a rainforest, please give us some water for a change.

 

[DarkKnight]

Matthews twice in the first 30 seconds today said this game was a great “opportunity”. I love that mindset!

 

[Leaf Fans]

You can predictably guess that the bar would immediately move from "lol they can't win a round" back to "lol 1967". Including fanbases like the Canucks, who have never won a cup.

Yeah, that and "wow one round in 17 years."

 

[GrizzLeaf]

f*** this. I'm smoking a (legal in Canada) fattie. For some reason this team has me believing again.... and terrified, at the same time

 

[LeafGrief]

I'll tell you what's different about this year. This is the year that my friends and family who are Habs fans have started telling me that they're pulling for the Leafs to win the series.

 

[AvroArrow]

Off work due to close contact (I tested negative twice) so do I order pizza or do I cook some bomb ass chicken alfredo before the game starts?

The same thing you ate for game 5, don't change a damn thing. I'll be in the same seat grilling lamb chops for good luck tonight.

yeah a lot of them really don't like tampa, never thought I'd see the day

hopefully there's no game 7 but if there is, I'll be stuck in Montreal that weekend...

I have an entire bag waiting on this game ha

 

[Blanka]

Smoke these choads.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Leafs will win 4-2

Goals by Kerfoot, Marner, JT, and Blackwell

 

[Stonehands 1]

Am nervous as hell, Go Leafs Go!!!!

 

[lovemyleafs]

Leafs win 5-3. (iA)

Matthews 2 goals.
Mikheyev 1 goal.
Tavares 1 goal.
Marner (EN)

 

[Leafsfan74]

Just go out and play the game the way they know is required to win. This isn't akin to asking the 1984 Leafs to beat the 1984 Oilers, this is a team the Leafs can and SHOULD beat.

Do so tonight and enjoy the days off.

 

[CourtneyDagger50]

Hi friends! I was around a bit last year through the playoffs. I have videos for this series again,

I am stupidly nervous for tonight.

 

[therealkoho]

FWIW there's large sharp(pro bettor) support for Tampa Bay tonight.

They're right far more often than not.

I wonder how many of those folks took the 80-1 Kentucky Derby winner

 

[Lemontree]

Let’s go boys, finish it tonight! Matthews nets 2 including the series clincher.

 

[Bluelines]

The wounded Leaf fan in me says .. guaranteed loss ...
The optimistic Leaf fan in me says ...
The pessimistic Leaf fan in me says the refs will decide the outcome...

Is a Leaf fan allowed to feel good about a game 6 before puck drop?

This does not feel like a win tonight.

 

[Willchel Marlynder]

Please win 7-2 scoring 4 in the first 3 minutes. I really don't think I can survive a close game.

 

[Bluelines]

you should feel good . The leaf's are in the driver's seat an have the bolts number plus the bolts seem to lack desire or motivation to win in large part due to the leaf's crushing their spirit

I sure hope you are right.

 

[93gilmour93]

Here we are again. The team this year feels different, looks different and after Game 5 that has to get their adrenaline going coming into game 6. Tonight is the night everyone now LFG!!!

 

[Bluelines]

Please win 7-2 scoring 4 in the first 3 minutes. I really don't think I can survive a close game

I've been a mess in the 2 close games but please dont have a 4-1 lead going into the 3rd ...

 

[therealkoho]

I have the Leafs in 6

It's going to be the Leafs in 6

Unless Vasilevskiy shuts the Leafs out I mean he gets lots of shutouts, so he has a real good chance of putting up the 0.
