Yeah, he didn't have a choice except to take Willy down, but those moves by Willy to get himself in that situation was something else, smooth as silk...Yzerman really robbed Montreal blind with that trade.

I thought this was an interesting video, considering what has happened the last two games.

Meet the Leafs fan who went viral screaming with joy over the Game 4 comeback
Who was on the other end of that phone? "It could have been Jesus Christ at that point, I don't know," Billy Kapogiannis says.
theathletic.com
Billy Kapogiannis kept screaming long after the television camera stopped recording. He found himself yelling as he left his seat inside Amalie Arena and realized he was still going even after crossing a street, walking outside in a warm, victorious evening in Tampa, Fla.
“I just couldn’t stop,” he said with a laugh. “I don’t know what the hell came out of me.”
His reaction made him famous to television viewers and social media users on Monday night, releasing a primal scream after watching Leafs forward Alex Kerfoot cap an unlikely comeback with an overtime goal to secure a 3-1 lead over the Lightning in their first-round playoff series. Kapogiannis was seen on the Sportsnet broadcast screaming into his phone, before abandoning the call to scream into space.
By Tuesday morning, raspy and happy, he had forgotten who was on the other end of that call.
“It could have been Jesus Christ at that point, I don’t know,” he said. “I just answered: ‘Hi, Jesus! It’s the Leafs!’”
Kapogiannis is a restaurant server and entrepreneur from Aurora, Ont., just north of Toronto, who flew to Florida on a whim. Sam Cortese, a friend and colleague, was standing next to him when the camera zoomed in after the win. Cortese was laughing as Kapogiannis screamed to the heavens.
“That’s the passion, that’s what being a Leaf fan is,” said Kapogiannis. “That’s what the world doesn’t understand: We’re not fans, we are Leaf fans, and there’s a difference.”
He cheers for teams in other sports, including the Dallas Cowboys.
“When it comes to the Leafs, I don’t know what happens to me,” he said. “I just go mental, if you want to know the truth.”
..................
Kapogiannis works at Avenue, an Italian restaurant in Kleinburg, a 45-minute drive north of Scotiabank Arena. Cortese is a chef. They are also partners in VTL Indoor Golf & Academy, an indoor golf facility in Vaughan. (It was a customer who offered them the tickets in Tampa.)
At 59, Kapogiannis is old enough to have been alive when the Leafs won their last Stanley Cup, but not to have any living memory. He has been a fan of the franchise for his whole life, with the playoff run of 1993 seared into his memory.

Dude it's Florida you can't expect them to see straight with everything they got running in their body right now
(I may or may not have lived in FL in the past)
I'd rather have crab juice
Incoming shutout
That's pretty awesome for us viewers, but you have to imagine the old boys club is not too happy with him.

I'd be shocked if the Leafs don't have a book on every goalie in the league and already knew this information.

It's funny you say that cause you literally lose more games with Matthew's in the lineup than marner. Marner has always been the engine and heart of this team.
1am. Kids are up in 6 hours for school, behind at work because Leafs playoffs, full day is bonkers tomorrow.
Yup, gonna watch the 3rd and OT again now.

He is definitely a player who I seems like a mouthy puke. I hope gets his one day. His antics standing chirping Schenn with Maroon and Jeannot behind him is a pathetic look. I know he's not the only one of all time to do it, but jeez. Him and Kuch bother me. I respect the others. I do respect Kuch in the O zone my lord he's a magician at finding seams.
TBS broadcast this time. I don’t want to spoil anything, but Matthews just scored 2 to make it 4-3.
it’s rather obvious from the way they‘re shooting in this series that the leafs have a book on Vasi.
Okay, I skipped some parts to get to the good parts, done watching, but at the end of the TBS broadcast they are rolling shots of the crowd reaction after OT... boy there is a lot of Leaf fans down there considering, there was a real good GLG chant going up there as the crowd filtered out.

Keefe already said that "they have this information" , so yes.
Kuch hates to get hit, you see the life drain out of him every time he gets pasted into the boards.
