Pre-Game Talk: Game 6 - Leafs @ Tampa

[123offtheglass]

Other playoff games I could happily wait for puckdrop; these series clinching games I can’t.

I want to see killers tonight.

GLG!

Two things I am hoping for: 1) A lot of 5 on 5 hockey so 2) We can get into a rhythm and play balls-to-the-wall hockey. Just take it to them. Even if we don't win game 6 (which,of course,I'm hoping we do) we'll wear them down in case there is a game 7. No free passes tonight.

Do our guys want it enough, to close it out in Game 6?

 

[therealkoho]

Outskate them + outwork them = we got this.

+ outscore them

 

[Le Magnifique]

Matthews and marner are invisible. Tavares is the worst contract. Nylander just coasts. Rielly, Muzzin, Brodie are lame. Holl sucks ass. Campbell cannot stop a beach ball. Mikheyev and Engvall are useless and kerfoot was the worst trade in leafs history. Kampf is just LOL. Giordano what a freakin waste of 2nd round picks

Leafs gonna get caved in.

Well done.
Game 7 here we come

 

[Clark4Ever]

I have knots in my stomach already.

 

[Suntouchable13]

Not too phased by any of this. I have seen a championship run in Toronto already. Now game 6 of the NBA finals in 2019, that's when my stomach was in knots. This is nothing compared to that.

 

[Le Magnifique]

First goal will be critical as always. Please for the love of god start on time..... none of this down 2, 5 mins. into first.

 

[therealkoho]

If Tampa Bay prevails as expected, at least we have game 7 on home ice, which is what this team fought very hard for all season.

I agree with this, what a treat it would be for the home fans, to drag in the carcass of the Lightning and finish them off in front of the........no wait, to hell with that idea. Come out of the gate on fire, lean on them early and hard, knock them onto their collective asses and don't let them up. Everybody gets involved, and stays involved until the final horn.

 

[TheTotalPackage]

I think they end this tonight.

 

[Trapper]

We don’t always have to do things the hard way so let’s just win tonight.
If we play like we did 2nd and 3rd period of Game 5, there isn’t an NHL team that we couldn’t/shouldn’t beat.

 

[lovemyleafs]

3 years ago today, Kawhi hit the greatest shot in franchise history to help his team advance to the next round. The Raps went on to win a title...



Can the Leafs create their own moment tonight???

Jack needs to show up tonight he can't be letting in 2 goals on 4 shots or 3 goals on 6 shots early he can't be putting the team in a hole not tonight.

 

[CapspaceKiller]

The leafs have been clearly the better team in the series through 5 games. They deserve to finish this one off and dispel the demons of playoffs past.

 

[therealkoho]

My birthday is Saturday. Please lord don't put me through the stress of becoming old and dealing with a game 7 again. For the love of god close it out tomorrow.

Happy upcoming birthday bro, no worries though, the Leafs finish them off tonight decisively.

This might be the year since I haven't really watched many Leafs games or followed closely in the last 3years or so lol. I don't mind Florida in the 2nd round and after that we shall meet the Avs in the finals.

Well, we know Nick Paul is going to cough up some goodies and we should be ready to pounce. Make him wish they never traded him out of Ottawa.

Why don't you mind Florida?

Do the hardest work in the beginning of the game and try to land the TKO early and give yourself all the margin. Let the speed grind them down and take away their resolve to defend their title. They have two cups. Maybe they get the doubt and want to regroup over the summer. Don’t respect them. We don’t want this series to go back to Toronto. We don’t want home ice. Finish it off tonight.

Doesn't that drive you nuts? Show up at the start of the game boys... please. Don't take your foot off the gas.

 

[Stephen]

Took 9 long years to get from the 2004 second round exit to get back to the playoffs in 2013. And another 9 years to get to this point. Finish the job and go for that cup.

Play the best game of the series tonight. Full 60 minutes.

It would be great if they could come out and be the aggressor for a change instead of starting on their heels.

starting the game with our top line with top pairing would be a good start
