Tampa is a much better team than they showed in Game 1 and I fully expect them to come out hard tonight. That said, if the Leafs play like they did in Game 1, it won't matter. We'll take it easily. Just ease up a little with the penalties.

Go Leafs Go!

Yeah as good as our penalty kill was we were lucky there that Stamkos whiffed on that one timer when it was 3-0 because it could've been a different game. Still though I'm more confident now than I was before game 1 after that effort Toronto put forth.

I hate to say it but Tampa being the bigger team is going to come out absolutely smashing us in every way possible to send a message back to us.

We are probably going to lose and I wouldn't be surprised if we lose some key player to injury tonight. Because we always lose a key player either by suspension or through injury.

I hope I'm wrong

Many people have agreed with Coopers statements that the outcome of the game was more to do with his teams performance and less about what the Leafs did. I get that its Mess and he often downplays the positives of our team but he would be one. I'm not going back over every just because you want to be argumentative about something that many posters have stated over three different threads

The only thing I saw is that the Leafs played a fabulous, nearly perfect game.

I haven't anyone say they didn't play well.

I hope they give a repeat performance.

So Mess. and ?? I haven't seen what you are talking about. Certainly not "lots", or "many" people.

Sure, we should expect a better game out of Tampa, and they are going to come hard, but I haven't seen (may or lot's of) people talk that it wasn't our excellent play, that was the reason for our win.

This is a 54 win, 115 point team, lets have positive energy around this team. We still think we can't win when we have the best Leafs team in decades before us?

My dog is laying in bed with me ready to go to war, but i fear if he laid eggs the numbers will be too great, don't waste any prayers on Ukraine, i need your help the most tonight, goodnight and godspeed my fellow leaf friends, i hope i get to witness the glory of our leafs together tomorrow.

And if not, GIVE EM HELL FOR ME BOYS.

Make sure all y'all wearing same underwear and clothes from Monday.

I saved my outfit to the tee, in a box. I will be wearing same thing starting 7:30pm. Let's not mess with what worked. :naughty::laugh:

I don't believe in curses, luck, or any of that stuff. But I'm also not a dingus who wants to ruin things for others. You do you, my good man. And just for you, I'll play along.

Super-cheap knock-off Marner jersey, it is! Just like game 1.

No, and it's not in his game - he's Darcy Tucker-lite.

Believe this was his last "fight" in 2019 while in the A:



We just need him to be his pesty self and dig out the puck for Papi and Mitch.

Ya, Bunting isn't going to be fighting anyone unless he wants to get wrecked. He's best to piss people off and just wrestle in a scrum.
Let them chase after him and draw penalties. Then score and piss them off even more.

Don't shoot the messenger.

All I did was post an article from the Toronto papers that included TB coach direct quotes on what he said about his own team, and the Leafs.

If you agree with the premise of that last game and Coach Cooper's own comments yourself, then where is the problem?
