  1. AceBombkick

    The immediate Dubas/Spezza reaction shot was fucking gold

  2. GiveMeAdviceClowns

    Dubas and Spezza were quietly celebrating

  3. Did not have McCabe on my OT winner bingo card lol

  4. ComputerSaysnooooo

    Anyone else say “go home” when they showed Dubas and spezz at the end

  5. IlikeTurtles1308

    I wanna personally thank the cameraman for the Spezza and Dubus shot at the end 💀

  6. Sorry Dubas and Spezza!!

    Pens playing for their lives and the Leafs playing for 70. Officiating was absolutely terrible tonight though.

    I’ll take this win every day. Matty had the whole arena fooled for the winner!

  7. I_Am_Vladimir_Putin

    That one point might very well be the season killer for them

  8. Dangerous_Cream5837

    We are so much better than that team. They got bailed out by criminally bad officiating and we still win.

  9. TheCarrier89

    All Dubas and spezza know is pain in scotiabank arena lmao.

  10. StaticR0ute

    Marner with assist at the end when he wasn’t even on the ice! lol

  11. Significant_News_638

    Really bold strategy for Pittsburgh to not get Crosby on the ice at all in OT

  12. ESF-hockeeyyy

    Matthews had an absolutely tremendous game. Holy shit.

  13. Distraught and inconsolable Matthews only scored once

  14. Morganvegas

    Dubas had his coat on before the goal went in 🤣🤣😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

  15. XviiChong

    The look on Dubas and Spezza’s face after the OT Winner 🤣🤣🤣

  16. sportsywebe

    Boys just keep rolling and have home ice in sight…

  17. senile-animal

    That was one of the worst officiated games I’ve seen in a while, like both ways.

    But Matty with 65

    Caber with the OT winner

    And who doesn’t love another goal for Knies??

    Sammy was no slouch either out there

    Overall whatever, good game I suppose

  18. First McCabe overtime goal since Bryan McCabe did it on the Leafs vs Buffalo

  19. nthensome

    I’m glad the Leafs won but I’m also happy the Pens got a point out of it.

    I would like to see them make the playoffs.

    Syd deserves it

  20. ElephantShell34

    Pretty impressive showing honestly, considering how much more this game meant to the Penguins than the Leafs. Would have been easy to not really look ready for it but that wasn’t the case.  

    Part of what Keefe was saying about maintaining good habits in these last few games. 

  21. alldawgsgoat2heaven

    Can somebody clip the one handed cross ice sauce by 34?

  22. AgentAdja

    Was waiting all day for the Dubas L face and they delivered.

  23. StaticR0ute

    The Sportsnet panel just said “the refs let them play tonight” after they questioned that double minor high stick. LOL, what??

  24. MrBalanced

    Okay, so great OT win, amazing Caber goal, and all that. 

    Man, though… Pittsburgh’s defensive play that OT was pure trash. Just letting Willy walk in completely unopposed, terrible stickwork when blocking lanes. If I were Sid I’d be pissed!

  25. ThymeIsTight

    Matty scores – check.

    Leafs win – check.

    Dubas disappointed – check and *Soo* satisfying.

  26. TheCarrier89

    Pens are cooked, a shadow of what they used to be. Dubas has a lot of work and tough decisions ahead of him.

  27. rnarcopolo

    Leafs win, Matthews scores, Dubas cries – Treliving hat trick.

  28. SadimHusum

    can’t be too mad at Dubas when ultimately he left to take a promotion.

    All of Spezza’s loyalty to Toronto shit rings a little hollow when he left to be Kyle’s purse dog though

  29. StaticR0ute

    Now that we know it’s not a high stick if the puck is in the face at the same time, I want to see someone michigan the puck onto their stick right into Marchand’s schnozz haha.

  30. theguyishere16

    3 points back of Florida, game in hand, and play Florida 2nd last game of the season. Home ice is still possible for Round 1.

  31. SyphiliticPlatypus

    Great 40 after a poor first 20, with team surviving yet another game of shitty calls.

    Matty gets 65.

    Sammy smiles.

    Knies continues to look strong.

    McCabe with the winner.

    2 points and even sloughing the Pens a point to keep them alive because fuck the Caps and Torts and the Wings.

    That idjit Simpson actually calling out Crosby whining and the refs babying him.

    No injuries.

    A little Domi/Bunts jawing.

    Not sure I could ask for anything more, really.

    Not sure I could ask for any

  32. buktee123

    Matthews will get at least some Hart love. It will piss off other fanbases and I will love it

  33. silverwordss

    sammy postgames are fun, gives everybody lots of compliments, everybody is good player, really good player
