It's been such a fun ride, I just don't want it to end in the next 2-3 games.

 

[senor martinez]

Chandler Stephenson has lifted up by the caps. Somebody playing center might be going down.

We gon smack and twerk these fools down anyway! We bout that!!! We be bout that!! We be bout that!! Even without Polak we gon smack these fools down! We got that twerk and the speedier team.

 

[SprDaVE]

Hopefully we have a bit more of a complete game. We can't afford to play like we did last game.

Should be fun.

 

[hockeyes]

Hope they come out and crush them tonight.

“We earned our bounces, and they kinda got theirs.†- Braden Holtby, greatest playoff goalie of all time

They are already making excuses to deflect from their lack of mental toughness.

 

[Gary Nylund]

Strange thread title IMO. Never give up - why would anyone even think about giving up? It's a dead even series FFS.

 

[Damisoph]

The anxiety has begun. Go Leafs Go

 

[a a ron]

Get pucks to the net. Holtby was shaky last game.

Hope Marner and Matthews puts few on top corners and see what Hotlby thinks of those bounces

 

[taurine330]

Let's go boys! I'm ready for whatever you have to offer. Triple OT? Bring it!

The premise is basically to never give up even if your down a goal, to keeping battling for 60 minutes. I think that's pretty appropriate given how much we had to battle to get where we are today and how we got our wins. You may disagree if you want, but I like the title and am not changing it.

Oh OK, I get it now. After the last game that does seem appropriate - down by 3 ...

Thanks for the explanation.

The winner of this game wins the series.

holtby has been shaky all series. must be a huge confidence boost to the leafs knowing that they can put 4+ goals by him at any time

I'd say thats a pretty good prediction

Last year Holtby only let in 4 goals once.

Both goalies are letting in goals they generally stop the majority of the time. Its really weird as it seems all these shots that go in are tips/deflections and odd bounces.

Do you see what these guys are saying? Do you see what they are doing in the media?? They don't respect us... Wow I am pissed!

 

[The List Of Jericho]

Freddy needs his best game of the season here...

It's a front. They're shook that they're in a series with the weak #8 seeded Leafs and their over-inflated egos are taking over.

"We earned our bounces, they just kind of got theirs" Holtby

Looks like a quote the Leafs should hang in their dressing room tonight. I hope they can take to heart and "earn" their bounces.
