Knew we would get one just wasn't sure which of these we would get. Now we are going to be pumped to bring this back home. Game 5 should be great, looking forward to the buds playing in front of the home crowd again with this same effort defensively loved Woll tonight. We're on the board.
No no no no no no no no no no de de de de de de de de de de de de de oh my god
Leafs about to get embarrassed at home. Where is the champagne?! Go Cats! ๐
Shannon missed a key part in saying Nylander goal was puck luck going off the refs body into a wide open Nylander. Heโs too good of a player to not score 1on1.
So Alex Nylander will have to wait a couple of days more for his brother to join him in the Swedish national team for the world championships.
I love that jersey.
Leafs are done now.
I told everyone. I asked everyone to believe. Break the damn broom… THIS is the Leafs team you can believe in.

Boooooooo Come on Florida.
Who cares whether Florida wins by a sweep or not? Silly and useless mention Shannon
Brick Woll !
Thanks Shannon ๐ Woll will become a solid goaltender, Gudas chickencheck on Kampf AFTER the whistle should be looked on by the NHL!
A lot of brooms were hastily put back in closets tonight. ๐ฎ
This is the first time I have seen the leafs play a full game with their B game. All good teams need a B game if their A game is not working and it did not look bad at all. The question is – is it too late?
Well, let's not start sucking each other's sticks just yet.
Weโve seen this a million times. Rookie goalie has a good game and it happens to be a big game for the team so he comes out looking like a legend. Will likely not lead to anything
This Canadian Steve in Australia is very happy as well
First Playoff game by Panthers that they looked flat and didn't play with an edge but maybe expected with a 3-0 lead and winning 6 straight games.
Gudas tried to put Kampf through the boards after the whistle blew and we got the penalty after for the horrendous infraction of โholding the stickโ. Iโm not going to say Brodie wasnโt but that was a vicious hit after the play and it not going punished was infuriating. Plus Brodie was hit after the whistle earlier in the game as well.
I am a fan of TO when they don't score in the first. They always ALWAYS seem to take it easy when they go up by 2 or more in the first
I am so done with seeing players throw punches into pinned-down players' faces. It sends me into an absolute rage seeing that shit. Bennett needs to be kicked for multiple games.
As of yesterday I have one thought. BeLeaf!
โItโs 2 minutes, not 4, because, itโs Buntingโ
Tell us how you really feel about the call. ๐
Leafs did just enough but will need a lot more from the core to come all the way back
Leafs avoid the sweep and they looked good. Although speaking to a friend of mine, who is a life long Leafs fan, she said "Yeah but knowing them, they avoided elimination only to lose at home in front of the home crowd, just to really stick it in us fans. That is the plight of being a Leaf fan cos that would be the leafiest thing they could do."
Primary assist on that first goal should have gone to the ref…
The whistle goes around 0.5 seconds before Gudas hits. I'd like to see ANYONE stop after that.
Also, it's the Referee behind Gudas making that call. If the ref behind the net does his damn job and calls that penalty, there's more than enough reasoning to argue that Gudas should have, or ought to have known, that the play was being called dead. He doesn't have eyes on the back of his head.
BOB is the only cat who showed up, they had this series right here. Oh well just finish em off on Friday ๐
Leafs breathe just enough hope back into me to crush my soul in game 5
I watch these 2 teams play. Then I watch the Canes-Devils series. The defense in this series is horrible. I have never seen worse blue lines before. Maybe I am just biased due to being a Canes fan. But the blue line skill or lack there of is very noticeable.
So the NHL won't do anything about that dirty ass hit at the buzzer? Or the cheap shots right in front of the refs… I love hard nose hockey but the cheap crap isn't entertaining.
Toronto has now played for a full 60 minutes in 1 out of 10 playoff games. Can they do it again?
Myabe I'm crazy, but I just wasn't impressed by Toronto, Felt more to me the Cats just didn't want it. They were content just playing regular hockey and if they won cool, if not, maybe best Bobby wont get cold sitting with a sweep. I have a hard time believing Tkachuk wont have a killer game between now and 7
Leafs still were not hitting enough. If the big guys (Schenn and McCabe) started dropping bodies it would slow down Florida substantially and the games would go a lot easier.
Pls dont blow this florida
Never in a million years would i have thought bobrovskys contract gonna look decent
A close game and Toronto got some breaks. They aren't out the woods yet though by any stretch. I still haven't seen enough from Matthews (maybe he is injured?). If they can pull off a convincing win at home then we have a series.
I wasn't expecting a sweep in game 4, but I didn't expect Florida to come out as flat as they did. The puck was bouncing all over the place. No clean passes or shots or break outs. I credit the Leafs clogging up the ice. The Leafs were gifted a break on the first goal, but credit to them, they put it in the net. As far as I could see from my chair, the Panthers didn't look like themselves until the last 10 minutes of the game. I expect them to adjust for game 5 and I'm feeling they'll close out the series, barring a bounce of the puck not in their favor. My main complaint is, of course, why weren't the Leafs playing like this if not in game 1 then at least in game 2? Why wait until you're painted into a corner to make adjustments? It's why, after 50 years, I find myself rooting for the other teams.
So im a very new viewer and at first i thought your basic, white board videos would be boring and not very interesting but holy fuck was i ever wrong. Ive watched like 8 of your recent vids and im constantly waiting for new ones to pop up. Youre really indepth and unbiased. You have a fair, factual take on just about every topic you bring up. Take my sub and bell notifications ๐ป
I would like a special mention on situations where something unexpected happes, like in the first goal of toronto where the ref is the only reason why the puck came right in front of the goal in the first place. I dont watch the parts where thg reads from board that there was a shot on goal. I would like a minimum ammount of shots and rather tell the story in a way such as puck control and wich line is having good shifts, as a good shift is better than a shot fired.
