I thought we were less dominant than we were at home, yet we win the game. One thing that concerned me all game long was a lot of our players looked much slower tonight. Sergachev played like someone removed his brain. Hedman played a decent game but he was moving at half speed all night - he did not look well. The whole top line was slow. And that's after two full days off.
Thank all that is good in the universe that Vasy resembled his normal playoff self tonight. How did everyone feel after that decisive blocker save on superboy Marner? The rest of the team also really limited the quality chances which was no small factor in why we won tonight.
You've got to love how Samsonov's unorthodox flopping while stoppable pucks sail past are making Leaf fans feel tonight. John Cooper - how the hell do you take Eyssimont out for Jeannot now? I don't care if he doesn't score again - cause Jeannot won't either - Eyssimont brings speed, forechecking, puck pressure. Jeannot's lucky if he ever gets to the play before it moves on down the ice and leaves him behind.
It's a small thing but if the Leafs lose this series, all the fans have to look at is how their two players defended Killorn on his empty net goal. I don't care that the game is already over, that was heartless.
