Pre-Game Talk: Leafs vs Jackets Game 5 | August 9th 8pm RSN | SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY! WINNER TAKE ALL!

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Ok ok ok time to get back at it and focus up. An improbable game 4 comeback has the Leafs a game away from a series win and moving on to the round of 16. Will they do it? God I hope so.

Don't know if my heart can take another OT. Excited for the game nonetheless!

 

[PuckMagi]

game plan should be to try to go down 3-0 in the first period to give us more time to catch up.

 

[lottster14]

After last nights character building win, the leafs should know they need to be solid for 60 minutes tomorrow. We have learned more (and hopefully grown more) than CBJ this series IMO

Dont know what to Expect, please pull this off guys, you can do it!!

This team is the blue balls buds. They love to tease and fail to put out. Learn to half expect it and you will be ok for another 53 years if necessary.

Try to avoid OT. Try to avoid having a 3-0 lead. I'll take any form of Leaf win and like it just the same.

I hope the Leafs stick with Tavares-Matthews-Marner

 

[Goose]

I actually really like this Columbus team, it’s refreshing not playing the Bruins, who I absolutely loathe.

I want Toronto to win, and I think they will pull this out, but if CBJ moves on this won’t leave the bitter taste in my mouth that losing to Boston does.

Also, after yesterday’s comeback win, I have a lot more confidence in this group as a core over the next couple of years.

 

[Mr Papagoergyo]

They have some mojo now, hope that helps for game 5.

 

[Havoc]

I hope the Leafs stick with Tavares-Matthews-Marner

Same.

I also like how it allows Nylander to do his thing and drive his own plays on the second line with Hyman ensuring he has the space he needs. Might see a dip in his point production but the puck should be on our sticks a lot.

 

[Macallan18]

I’m starting to wonder if this is all real or are we being manipulated? Up three goals, lose. Next night, down three goals, win. More like the script of a wrestling saga than hockey, just missing Sweet Daddy Siki and The Sheik.
Will have to prepare some serious alcohol to survive this one.
Go leafs go!

They're as dirty as the Bruins; but, less physically intimidating. It's a good test for the real thing, that will not tire out the team.

Our friend TWS was over in the CBJ board trying to suck up to them and said Rielly dove. They told him Rielly didn’t dive and it was a legit call

I knew I liked CBJ fans

If we pull it off does anyone know who we play in the first round?

It's Boston isn't it

no its only philly or tampa. Whoever loses that game today is who we will play.

F**k Jim Hughson

Yea saw that too....

Nope, if we pull it off, we'll be seeded 7th since the Habs will be 8th (Islanders and Canes had a higher points percentage when the season came to an end so they'll be 5th and 6th). So as the 7th seed, we'll play seed #2 which will be either the Bolts or the Flyers, they play each other tonight so the loser of that game is who we (or the Jackets) play in the first best-of-seven round.

Yeah there’s no way that was a dive. Maybe staying down and appearing for a second or two like he was legit hurt was a bit of tiny embellishment, but the way he put his stick into the skate blade as they were stopping, there’s nobody in the league who stays on their feet in that situation.

 

[Vaive50]

Does anybody have a clue of Muzzins condition, I can't find any updates of his condition, the only info available is that he came back into the bubble on Wednesday. If his condition is good enough to play, today is day 4 of quarantine so with regards to that, he should be playing tomorrow.

Being TWS just seems like it would be a lot of work

He's like your one friend who got dumped 3 years ago but still posts lyrics from Jude Law and a Semester Abroad on Facebook every time he gets blitzed off that second Angry Orchard

 

[GBLeaf]

Win please.

Thanks man!

I think I'd rather have Tampa tbh, Flyers scare me this year
