GDT: Toronto Maple Leafs vs Montreal Canadiens on Sportsnet/CBC @ 7:00pm May 27th 2021

[crump]

I remember when Cujo was on the Blues during the 93 Norris division finals and he gave us a tight series, then we won on a laugher 6-0 to win the series.

That’s the feeling I want to relive tonight.

 

[JT AM da real deal]

There are 2 things I love to see in hockey
1 is a good Habs *ss kickin
2 is a Leaf Cup parade
We get 1 done tonite
and start toward 2

 

[Zybalto]

Our top line can play far better than it has, can Price play any better, if anything, he's due for a stinker as he usually has one against us every few games.

Marner/Matthews combo 5v5 so far this series:

CF%: 58.34
SF%: 67.05
SCF%: 55.00
HDCF%: 69.22
xGF%: 69.02
GF%: 100.00

Our top line has been carving through them with ease. Price has made some crazy stops on them though.

 

[Marshy]

Today will be a purgin' of Bergevin.......or a Purgevin' ....if u will!

 

[Advanced stats]

I think you'll find that this team has developed a killer instinct this season. Matthews just had that new level that he hasn't had in the past and the vets that were brought in should help in that regard.

 

[Neas Olc]

All of you who think it's already over seem to have forgotten the last 53 years of Leafs hockey.

 

[Curt]

I don't expect the North Round 2 timelines to change unless this goes 7 games

Not what Chris Johnston said

Yeah, I am hoping the Leafs are playing this elimination game as if they are the ones desperate to extend the series.

GEEZ, you are old like me if you saw a Leaf parade

 

[TMLeafer]

Please win!

 

[DutchHockeyGuy]

I've been very nervous all day. I usually watch the game in the morning avoiding spoilers. But I might cheat for once and look up the score to avoid the not rational feeling of impending doom that is lingering somewhere in the back of my head. Just finish the job boys!

 

[Clark4Ever]

All of you who think it's already over seem to have forgotten the last 53 years of Leafs hockey.

I think most fans understand that. Tonight will likely be the most difficult game of the series for us. Keefe was very grounded with his comments today and I'm sure the players understand the difficult road ahead if they want to prevail.

 

[Cpt Maple Leaf]

Maybe we should gift them tonight's game and beat them in front of their fans in game 6

 

[Carltons Cup]

Please win tonight....

I've been saving up for my "Dear Lurking Habs fans" PGT post....

 

[al secord]

Something tells me Campbell needs to stand on his head tonight. If the Habs have any pride, they're going to come out guns a' blazin'

Wendel Clark slapshot coming down the right wing that rocked him right in the head and tore his mask flying right off. It was all over from there (Edit-hah actually it was already 5-0). I was so pumped because that was the series where Potvin vs Joseph and each game would be like 1-0 after like a 59-60 shot count.

 

[egd27]

I'd so love one of those games where we bag one on the first shift and another under a minute later.

 

[CanadasTeam]

Anderson said it earlier this week once that puck drops. So... we wait.

 

[Macallan18]

Finish them.
Put a steak (honestly a toothpick would be enough) into their heart and proceed!

 

[al secord]

It feels like friday. 2 fingers of scotch, and that's it! Unless it's a close game.

 

[Stonehands 1]

Go Leafs Go!!!!, lets close it out tonight

Matter of time until they bust the flood gates open..the most impressive part of this all is that we have been missing our captain and elite center since an accident half way through the 1st period in Game 1 (which surely shook the boys up), missing our big top 6 addition Foligno for what is about to be the third game in a row, Marner has looked bad until game 4 and has 0 goals, our Rocket Richard winning star centerman only has 1 goal so far, and we handed the keys over to our now present and future starter who previously had no NHL playoff starts..and we are up 3-1. We really haven't had a lot go picture perfect and we are still finding a way to put the Habs away. No messing around, time to put that final nail in the coffin tonight

 

[Daisy Jane]

honestly, i feel if we score first it really will deflate them.
the 1st period has been relatively even all series. 2nd period has been all us, and third period, montreal has their last gasp.

finish it in the first. don't give them any life
