[lovemyleafs]

When Matthews get hots, he gets RED HOT.
6 points in the last 3 games.
Columbus is in for a treat.
Hit em with the 4 Auston.

Wait is no Werenski confirmed??

No but he's going for an Mri today so i doubt it.

 

[saffronleaf]

Would love to see a repeat of Game 2.

Playin/off OT is so stressful when your team is involved

This series was as even as it only can be. Tomorrow our game is last at 8pm. All world of hokey will watch. There is no bigger stage. Hokey universe gravitates to its centre . Go and fight for what you think is yours.

I just found this picture my fiancee took from a better time....it's a sign! Let's go boys!

I'd really like to see some secondary scoring from the Leafs. From the 3rd/4th lines, an unexpected Dman, I don't care, just something.

Are you forgetting game 3 where Kerfoot and Kapy each had 2 assists, one to Ceci and the other to Robertson

 

[Jmo89]

Part of me is hoping the comeback flipped the script for alot of these guys and changes their approach to these types of games. However I worry thats just me being a Leafs fan and perpetually falling victim to their bs.

Whatever though, its a game, so I'm going to enjoy the ride. I'll try not to grumble so much this game.

Cool! Betting hard on Leafs in regulation. My heart couldn’t handle another overtime

Reminds me of the speech in Troy.

"Troy is mother to us all, Fight for her"!!!

We got 2 teams with a gut full of fear
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls...
Dying time’s here.

Guys I'm awake too early I'm excited fired up and ready to go let's win this series tonight

How about another non call in Game 3 late in the 2nd period when Marner got tripped right in front of the ref when Toronto was already on the power play. That cost them a 5v3.

It's called Score effects - refs making judgements with the game in mind. Happens all the time - the larger the goal differential the more powerful the effect.

And its probably better for the game TBH.

Face Tampa in round 1 and a chance at lord Stanley
Vs
A 1 in 8 chance at Lafreniere

Gimme option 1

Who knows, it probably has a lot to do with the cameras as its televised nationally

Ha? But he is a coach it's absolutely OK to wear working clothes and as a coach that's his working clothes. If 2 doctors are in front of you and one wears a suit and one wears his doctor's coat you say the one with the suit is more professional
Sry for OT ^^

Back to topic: let's hope our 30+ mil line plays as good as we know the can. If so I think we go through

Habs fan here wishing you guys best of luck. Rooting for all Canadian teams, and have nothing against your players or fans.

Columbus is finished. I’ve seen this many times before in many sports. Somehow, someway Toronto figured out what the f*** was going on in the last few minutes of that game and Columbus had absolutely no answers. The way more skilled team is now going to play with a level of grit. You could see it last night. Columbus as the game went on got less and less quality opportunities. Toronto skating circles around them and getting good looks.

I was thinking something similar.

It seemed like the jackets defense has suffocated us the entire series. They are like a blanket, giving us absolutely no space. I remember seeing AM primed for a slap shot, but he hardly gets the pass, or when he gets it he has a blue jacket right on him. Rarely did we fire bombs at their goalies. They smothered us even in power plays .

But last game, in the come back it was different. Tavares had space to shoot. Hyman had space to shoot. Matthews had space to shoot. All on a man advantage EN or PP.


I'm not sure if we figured out something, or if it was Werenski, or CLB panicking.

Whatever it is, I hope we can use it to win again today.

The best part about TWS is that he's not allowed to post in the Leafs forum.

The second best part is that he reads every single thing that is posted in our forum and it hurts him so badly.

Not allowed to post under that name.

Its always a coin toss for Toronto in the Parity NHL.

I like the sentiment but we had an empty net too. Extra player on the ice....chances of that working again if we get down again are minuscule. It's still going to be tight and suffocating unless we can score a few early goals. Either way it's going to be a nail biter until the final horn.

Not much of a gambler but i bet 150 on the leafs winning the series. Only returns an extra 90 if they win. Planned the funeral and almost buried it alive late into the 3rd on Friday Please help it find its way home. Go leafs Go.

Cody “Blu Jacket Killer” Ceci scored all of his goals in the regular season and in this series against the Jackets. He’s got you fam.
