Just have the Leafs play their absolute best game of the season. Matthews go out there and continue being amazing. Marner pull off some crazy passing plays. Nylander be awesome.

Have a big bounce back game please.

Listen....I'm old....i was around to watch the last cup.....i remember Lanny scoring against the Isles....i remember Sittler's 10 point game....i remember Dougie scoring in double OT against Cujo....i remember Boroshevski ending the Wings in game 7.....i remember Niewendyk scoring 2 to end the Sens...

I haven't had this feeling in a long....long time.....so please; just win.

[Brown Dog]

When I start feeling nervous, I remember we have Auston Matthews. So glad he's on our side. Just get the feeling he lives for moments like this.

 

[Rogie]

Special teams looks like a wash!

Special team numbers:

Leafs home..........PP 20.8% .......PK 79.3% ....... Total 100.1
Bolts away ..........PP 21.0% .......PK 79.4% ....... Total 100.4

Leafs shorties for 6 ........ shorties against 6 ...... +0
Bolts shorties for 3 ........ shorties against 7 ...... -4

Shorties for = goals scored when team is Short handed
Shorties against = goals scored against a team on the PP

 

[Wafflewhipper]

Well, we have the highest tension level of the year officially. That said, i think this game will be a win for us. Just thinking that we have not officially clinched yet is kind of sickening to my stomach. That we weren't supposed to be here has no meaning any longer. We are supposed to be here and damn what alot of pressure for a young team.

This game is like a playoff game.
