Some of you need to cheer the hell up. This is LITERALLY the reward for all the work put in for the season.

Who gives a shit it's 9am? Crack a beer and enjoy yourself.

everyone can stop pretending the Bolts lost depth.

I think we’re not as good defensively, forwards-wise. But yeah, the progress of Colton and the addition of perry has helped us still be able to score goals.

Torontos forward depth is a major problem for our team, it really will be a great series against a likewise deep panthers team if the leafs advance tonight.

I think I needed that...tbh

 

[Just Rude]

This will be the fifth straight year the Leafs first round series goes the distance. We know how the first four have gone.

But this is what you play for. No excuses.
Game 7 on home ice.

My heart tells me the Leafs have to win one of these sudden death games. My head tells me it’s still the Leafs and we are used to just going numb.

 

[TheGroceryStick]

Hoping Toronto loses here because of the fan base. Also hope Tampa loses because i don´t like them and if they wake up, there is a danger of a three-peat.

So it´s basically a win-win.

Looks like lose lose buds

 

[theimmortal1]

Are Leaf fans still exposing themselves as hockey newbies who do not understand:

1. The rules
2. How late games late in a series are called

What a world where a sun belt teams fans are more educated than Toronto fans

 

[OldCraig71]

Leaf fans, are you feeling rested? Are your bodies ready for this one?

The beer? As long as you're enjoying yourself. Today's a day for celebrating

I have work bro, but regardless of the outcome I'll be getting drunk tonight. Either happy drinking, or drinking my sorrow away Jim Lahey style.

Anyways regardless of what happens today, we are all fans and none of us control the outcome on the ice, just hoping my boys can pull it off. Tampa fans you guys are some of the coolest people on this board, all the shit talking and bickering has been a lot of fun. I would say wish you all the best, but i'd be lying.

Yeah me too. Won't see a minute of the game probably. But I will say this: it's not edgy to drink like Lahey unless it's a kiddie pool of Boo Berry Vodka

 

[zeke]

You have it backwards kiddo.

It's you guys that have been using the "bolts lost depth!" excuse from before the series even started.

 

[Nineteen67]

The Leafs’ goalies tend to give up a softie in games 7. Campbell will lose a lot money when he lets one slip by to give TB a 3-1 lead.

 

[JoVel]

The big question will be answered tonight.

That being, which Leaf player will be scapegoated and have death threats sent to him if they lose?

I am only one person. I understand the rules and how games late in a series are called.
A world in an alternative universe.

I think they officially appointed Holl for this year joining Kadri, Andersen, Gardiner and Marner.

You are the liquor bud.

 

[Madap]

This one goes out to leafs nation and anyone rooting for the leafs tonight.

Just want to get this off my chest before the game.

Ditto, pal! May the best team win.

 

[Mr Bill Waters]

Everyone check your watches: THE TIME IS NOW! We can and we will. GLG!

 

[PhysicalGraffiti]

No one pays any types of taxes in Florida, so it’s far easier to bribe refs. Net bribe = gross bribe.

It's true. No sales tax, property tax, income tax, nothing. The entire state ignores the IRS. It's beautiful.

 

[Ronnie Residue]

Just gotta hope the refs stop blatantly favouring the leafs in this game.

Should be fun either way.

 

[PromisedLand]

I had absolutely zero issues till Game 5 of the series with either the bolts or bolts fans (had some issues with "smug" leafs fans who vomit BS posts all the time). Team that showed up won the games and reffing for the most part did not decide outcome of the game.

Game 6 on the other hand pissed the F outta me. Now I have issues with bots, bolts fans,, the refs and continue to dislike some smug BS posts by some Leafs fans. f***ing learn to be humble. Haven't gotten out of 1st round and now the only team beside the newbies Seattle who hasn't make the 2nd round in the cap era now.

I sincerely hope hockey gods ignore these smug and arrogand leafs fans and focus more on other leafs fans who are not trying piss off the hockey gods.


Signed,
A disgruntled and pissed off Leafs fan

Win or lose I think the boards crash tonight.

Win or lose I think the boards crash tonight.

I think they may crash when the first penalty gets called.
