Any word on who’s in net? I read Campbell wasn’t on the ice yesterday? Hoping just a maintenance day!!

 

[All Mod Cons]

This is when we are going to find out what kind of team we really have…

If I had a nickel....

It was a maintenance day so the assumption is still Campbell playing.

 

[Third Degree Burns]

Just win baby!

 

[PromisedLand]

just watching tampa game; tampa score first goal directly as a result of "taking a hit to make a play"

It would be nice to see the percentage of teams who have been down 2-0 in a best of seven series come back to win the series.

 

[Victory Avenue]

Matthews better score tonight, we don't want him to turn into Choker McDavid.
GO LEAFS GO!

Not like this is a great revelation, but with JT's injury, this is now unquestionably Matthews' team to lead.

Hope he realizes that and is up for the challenge.

 

[CanadasTeam]

There are some people on the mainboard reluctant to acknowledge that besides the Chiarot body hit, there was also knee-on-knee contact:

You are right. It was all but set AM34 would be captain until that off season incident in Arizona. Now is his time to lead this team.

What's the record of NHL playoff teams down 0-2 in a series? Not good

"Historically, NHL teams down 0-2 in a series are 51-330 overall in those series."

 

[RealisticLeaf55]

Just win.

Yikes.

 

[BTP]

Just win.

 

[Rude Dog]

Leafs will rise to the challenge. Seen it all year Leafs are winning tonight.

 

[bpower]

Please win this game for JT! I'm hoping for a performance similar to the Islanders series without Sundin.

 

[leaffaninvancouver]

I hope Galchenyuk burns his old team tonight.

 

[Clark4Ever]

This is a defacto must win game for the morale of our team.

 

[AvroArrow]

There was but tbh it looked more like Tavares extending his leg out causing the knee on knee. I don't think it was a bad hit by Chiarot. Just an unfortunate outcome.

Who do I ask for permission to use this as my Playoff avatar?

Many thanks

 

[TiMo15]

I hope Galchenyuk burns his old team tonight.

Gally probably have been waiting for this opportunity for very long time.

The whole team must step up and win it for JT and themselves. PP is horrible, don't be fancy. Looked at Boston, they scored 3 PP to win in the regulation.

 

[Crosscrease14]

Don't care how.. just win.

Yeah nothing has really changed though. This has been matthews’ team since he pretty much got here especially the past couple of seasons. He is the leader and the others compliment him. Even when tavares was healthy

 

[Mopar]

Leafs beat the Islanders in 02 and the Sens in 04 without Sundin. Time for these guys to step up and do the same. It's not like we're underdogs.

To a degree. He's had JT as captain to share the load with for the past 3 seasons.

Now is his time to prove he is a leader in the mold of a Crosby or a Ryan O'Rielly.
