    Both of those tripping calls at the end of the 3rd were questionable, and Jarnkrok definitely beat out that icing at the end.

    #FUCK THOSE REFS

  2. _BELEAF_

    For all the shit Kerfoot gets in this sub, I expect all of you to pay your overdues…

  3. NiteOwlI

    For a team that chose to approach the deadline by prioritizing defence.. tonight was pretty messy. However, boys were tired, and Ottawa legitimately dove all game. Murray was great.

    I cannot wait to re-add ROR to this.

  4. ProfessorBeast55

    ‪Allowing 50+ shots against your goalie who’s trying to find his mojo back is NOT ideal. Great bounce back game from Murdawg

  5. ProfessorBeast55

    Your shootout hero is: ALEXANDER KERFOOT???!!!

  6. eagleboy444

    In your face, Kerf haters.

    So glad we got Murray that W!!! His performance made getting him the win even sweeter than it being against his former team.

  7. I hate the shootout and also **checks notes **… James Reimer?

  8. lianalili

    that was a very silly and entertaining game. Win is a win! Can’t complain

  9. Laidlaw_Hall_of_Fame

    put kerfoot in first at every shootout from now on

  10. The Sens are paying for 25% of Matt Murray making 47 saves against them.

  11. JonJonFTW

    Wasn’t pretty but a win’s a win. Thank you Kerf and Murray.

  12. Fuuutuuuree

    Sens lose their season saving Stanley Cup game against an exhausted team despite out chancing the opponent by a zillion. Leafs just far more composed, never panicked. Both teams really showed their colours despite the score

  13. Otherwise_Volume2690

    52 shots against Murray tonight and gets the W. He proved he can win big games for us if necessary!

  14. asheeponreddit

    Never in doubt.

    Gotta say, I love the emotion Mitchy shows. His celly after his goal and his absolute joy when Kerfoot won it are just so infectious and really have to boost the rest of the team. Jarnkrok finding his stride at the perfect time, too.

  15. nthensome

    9 round shoot out.

    My fucking heart barely made it through 3

  16. Imagine diving that much in a game and still losing, sens are pathetic. God that win was satisfying

  17. 2dudesinapod

    You know a couple of those calls were dives when the area didn’t show the replay a few times lmaooo

  18. makeitsnow

    No one is gonna give Bunting his due in the shootout (understandable given how awesome Murray and Kerfoot were) but I thought the shootout was done until he performed some magic tonight!

  19. CMDRShepardN7

    A little excerpt from the senaturds thread:

    *Leafs and their fans should be embarrassed. Chabot in the shootout is shameful for DJ. Thanks for the point. Thanks for the $500/ticket Leaf fans, enjoy your drive back to your trailer in Oshawa. Your dad still doesn’t love you. Go Sens Go.*

    Now let’s all toast with a glass of their tears.

  20. nthensome

    That 15 foot loop-in-the-air goal against Murray is not something I think I’ve ever seen before

  21. ProgramFrequent6947

    My husband doesn’t watch hockey AT ALL but he sat through the whole 3rd period, OT, and the shootout lol what a wild ride

  22. backstreets_93

    Anyone who blames Murray tonight is either blind or stupid.

    Dude made a statement when the team left him out to dry.

  23. That was ugly. But we took care of business. Need to take advantage of the games we had in hand over Tampa

  24. Usual-Tax-534

    Marner with the frosted flakes
    Lesssgo

  25. TheCarrier89

    Sportsnet app is absolute trash. Shit crashed on me in the middle of the shoot out and I couldn’t get it back in time to see the end. They wonder why people illegally stream sports.

  26. StaticR0ute

    Too bad the stupid Habs could beat Tampa. I thought they might see a blue and white team, think it was the Leafs and play like it was for the Stanley Cup, but not so much.

  27. NeeeeeeeekoooooooSam

    I knew Ottawa wasn’t going away even we were up 4-2 but what a response by the boys after playing a great game last night and having to travel to Ottawa today and Gio, Acciari, and Gust weren’t even playing!!!! huge win!

  28. Cartz1337

    Too bad it ended when it did, I was looking forward to seeing Samsonov’s moves.

  29. rjones416

    gave up 52 shots with murray in net and still won? i’ll take it.

  30. ArthasCousland

    So Holl is sitting out next game again, right? There’s absolutely no reason to keep Gio out and Gus was actually pretty good last game. Keefe really needs to stop shuffling the lines around at this point and let people build chemistry.

  31. Fucking ref. I am all for not putting the whistle away in the third, but those two tripping calls were as weak as a Morgan Rielly slap shot. And both times it was called by the trailing ref. Keefe seriously needs to call these blind fucks out.

    But for all the shit on the ref, the Leafs did this to themselves. Murray bailed them out with this 61 shot against performance. Good game. Still a freaking heart attack game and I am glad we beat the sens again. And Fuck that goal horn!

  32. EddyMcDee

    How many career games will Brady Tkachuk play before he gets one sniff of the playoffs? Maybe if he’s lucky this year he can go chug beers and watch his brother again.

  33. JRocleafs

    That was the best goalie performance of the year!! … also I hope the shoot out goal gets Kerfoot cookin

  34. usernicktaken

    I fucking love putting a damper on the Sens playoffs, Murray played great, 3 of the sens goals were bad bounces, he won the game for us.

  35. TheOnlyRealSlim

    Fuck the refs, fuck the sens. Character win for the blue and white.

  36. Bonedog123

    Was at the game. The noise from Leafs fans was insane.
    Not including the goal horn, we were equal to them.
    Was an amazing game to be at. Drunk asshole in front of me would not stop chanting “MUUUUUURRRRAY” all night.
