They're a very good team, TB just had Hedman leave the ice after awkwardly falling so they might be in some trouble

Fell down skating backwards. Looked like an ankle sprain maybe?

He smashed his stick on the bench in anger as he left.

Leaf players shouldn't be focused on who isn't playing for the opposition. The gameplan should be similar. You start to think you have it easier and you let your guard down and get crushed when the player who fills in goes 100% and beats you.
CBJ will have their best game tomorrow. They will go hard against the Leafs as they know it's the method everyone uses against this team which is viewed as soft and lacking bite. CBJ will want to atone for last nights late collapse and the penalty their captain took. Leafs have to go that much harder.
Leafs in kind will have to play in front of the opposition net as they did their 3rd period goals, win puck battles, draw penalties and not get lulled into mistakes. Take advantage of last change and make it count.
Elimination games are never easy and this Leaf team has shown themselves to not be up to the task for many years under such circumstances. I will reserve my excitement until they win such a game.

Thanks. Had the game on in the background but missed it.
Reminds me a bit of the Marner injury. Big loss if he's out.

I know this is going to sound weird, but before this series I was all business saying they need to win to take the next step etc.
But after last nights game, I just want them to win so we can enjoy the ride.
We shouldn’t even be here, not to say we haven’t been good this series, id say we’ve been better than Columbus but just looking at where we were with 5 mins left this is all bonus hockey.
It’s weird that I almost forgot that watching a game should be fun.

In my defense, I did tell you all my head is spinning
I know how you feel, I've been in a daze since last night. Only now starting to snap out of it. So nervous for tomorrows game already!
Yes. If there's one thing I know for sure it's that we haven't won anything yet.
No idea what will happen tomorrow night but I do know that if we win, we’re probably going to go on a really deep run.
Please, please, please win tomorrow!
Please, please, please win tomorrow!

Yeah it would be, but honestly I'm trying not to focus on that yet. Win tomorrow and then start looking ahead.
Columbus is only finished if the Leafs have more goals than them when the final horn goes off. Taking them for granted is absolutely stupid and will bite them in the ass. They HAVE to bring the effort they showed in the last 5 mins/OT to get through. This team needs to learn to play 100 percent all the time

I get why you might feel this way but let's be honest here, there's really no logical reason for this to be true.

Loading up that line will hurt the team's faceoff percentage dramatically. JT and AM are the best 2 (I think) . It will trickle down.
I'd only make the change if they're desperate

Injury looks serious. Not the place for jokes.

Since Toronto is the home team tomorrow, Keefe should at least start Matthews, Tavares, and Marner because Tortorella has to put in his starting lineup first. So maybe it will play some mind games with him.

I'm pretty confident for tomorrows game. I feel like after what happened last night, the boys are super hungry to finally prevail in the last game of a series

Nylander, who they moved to center is great on draws.
A little off this year right at 50%, but in 18/19 he was 55.2% (better than Matthews), and 51.4% in 17/18.

After this roller coaster ride I can't be too confident, just nervous and scared. It is mediocre CLB and not the powerhouse Bruins so that's good but it's not like we've had an easy time with these guys so ... we'll see.
