  1. Tuzz not enough he had to get three!!! Happy Berthday!!! That was an amazing game!!! The Leafs are good eh?? Sammy smiles!!

  2. WintersbaneGDX

    Good night to every Avalanche fan who really thought MacKinnon was going to score there.

  3. Cheap-Employee-8484

    The Tyler Bertuzzi game. First Leaf to score a hatty on his birthday, his 100th career goal, the GWG and can’t forget his great kick save with no stick.

  4. TheLoomingMoon

    Yea Bert got 3. But his shot blocking was also fun to watch.

  5. brunoclement

    This is a great team! Fuck all the fire Keefe doomers we have had to listen to!

  6. Samurai1221

    Avs are nasty that’s a big boy win right there

  7. February is the new November. Great game and win. Playoff Bert has been engaged.

  8. eagleboy444

    What a fucking win.

    Was it pretty? Who gives a fuck? I don’t. Many of us don’t. It shouldn’t matter.

    That’s a grind it out win against a great team on the road. What a test. On a long winning streak, third game in four nights, a tough opponent. We come out on top!

    And someone tell Bert that people are supposed to give *him* gifts on his birthday. Man is so generous he gives us fans a hatty!!

  9. phishbowls

    Exciting AF game. Not their best period but they found a way to win in the third. Fucking right Bert!

  10. jokerjoust

    Why didn’t Tavares take a slap shot into the empty net?

  11. bluenorthww

    Wow never been so scared in my life at the end lmao

  12. JustVibingNGL420

    Tuzzi hatty is nice, but what a complete game imo from the leafs. The Avs are a top team and definitely had their moments of domination but the leafs were able to hang in and take advantage of the right opportunities

  13. hymensmasher99

    That was an awesome game. Felt like a cup final match 👀

  14. Zealousideal-Fan427

    GO LEAFS FUCKING GO BABY WOOOOOOOOOO

  15. brownmagician

    TYLER BERTUZZI IS SICK OF YOUR SHIT R/LEAFS WOOOOOOOK

  16. Tavares shittin brix on that last play hoping Colorado didn’t score

  17. StaticR0ute

    That empty net miss and McKinnon last second rush had me at 100% clench haha

  18. Due-Leopard-7043

    ![gif](giphy|hOXIg98eLoYSc|downsized)

    Bertuzzi being reborn

  19. I can’t believe we actually won. Most of the game felt like a very long PK. It was so stressful

  20. Bertuzzi I owe you an apology, I wasn’t familiar with your game

  21. thewolfshead

    So does Keefe get credit for out coaching Bednar? Forcing Rantanen into a penalty by his matchup line?

  22. tetrahydral87

    I’ve been critical of him at times, but Bert had an absolutely heroic night. Like, I don’t know how much you could possibly ask of a player. he had numerous extremely good defensive plays, shot blocks, good forecheck and he finally is putting the puck in the net. What a night for him. Happy birthday Bert.

  23. ESF-hockeeyyy

    Listening to the post-game Attitude Sports broadcast, Colorado broadcast being extremely complimentary of Toronto. The team is also being interviewed and said that the Leafs are just a team with great speed in the neutral zone and you pay for the mistakes. Comments on improving their penalty kill as well.

    Pretty interesting feedback from an opposing team’s broadcast and players.

  24. TheBombersFlow

    Rest of Canada: The media only talks about the Leafs.

    Me: waiting 45 minutes for the Ottawa and Vancouver games that I don’t care about end so I can hear Kevin Bieska say the Leafs played ok
