I feel Leafs lose 1st game cause nerves but the vets put everyone in place and we go 4-1 next 5 games
Congrats for providing great content over 100 episodes! I’m Keith Gard from Brisbane, Australia and I say Leafs in 5 games over Tampa… Go Leafs Go!!!👍💙
Here is my entry for the Leafs mystery box: I predict Tampa Bay will win this series in 7 games. I think the Leafs will win the first game by a big score, they'll look dominant, Matthews will get a hat-trick and Samsonov will play great in net, but then Tampa will win the next three games, all close games (perhaps marred by controversy and questionable officiating), and Tampa will go up 3-1. The Leafs will make a valiant effort to comeback and tie the series forcing a game 7 in Toronto, which will go into double-overtime and the series winning goal will be scored off a Justin Holl give-away, Alex Killorn will be the hero for Tampa and yet another season will end in heartbreak for Toronto. Kyle Dubas and Brendan Shanahan will both be fired, as will Keefe, but don't worry, a new management team will make some shrewd transactions, the Leafs will acquire a big stalwart shutdown defenceman and next season Toronto will make a deep run into the playoffs, where they'll eventually be eliminated in the conference finals by Carolina. Thanks for reading my awful prediction, I hope I'm wrong and the Leafs win the Cup. I am a victim of emotional abuse inflicted on me for many years by this franchise, but whatever, go Leafs go.
Leafs will win in game six, the defeated lightning won't want to give up
If the series goes the distance I don't like our chances. They must come out relentless against Vasy, score lot's to avoid the enviable reffing mistakes. The Av's model from last season was reasonably stress free which sounds good to me. Leafs in 5 at home.
Leafs in 6
Well done with the century mark episode! I say Tampa in 7, but I hope it's Leafs in 4.
Leafs in 5 ….O.T win in game 5 .
I’ve been a diehard leafs fan since the mid 80’s and I want to believe but unfortunately they find a way to lose in the worst ways.
Orders box* – it's all Justin Holl memorabilia 🙃
easy. the core hasnt got the guts to fight for it. see AM standing there smiling when being pushed around.
tampa in 6. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
My heart says leafs in 6, my money says Tampa in 7
Leafs in 5! They will win the first 2 at home, drop game 3, and win games 4&5.
Congrats on 100 episodes guys, you are my favourite source of leafs/NHL content. I am from the GTA. With that being said I think leafs in 6. Additions at the deadline will compliment our top end talent.
Toronto will win in 6. I've never think I would say that one day but the Bolts look too weak this year. I think there will be a lot of blowouts from the Leafs bc Vasi doesn't look solid right now.
I'm from Montreal by the way!
Way to go guys. Congrats on 100 episodes. I think it's the Leafs in six with the difference makers being everything that the Leafs have done to improve themselves this year. They include playing better defence as a collective group, the Leafs having a better overall defence, including depth on defence, better toughness, leadership, and depth up front, and I think Samsonov is a better goalie than Campbell is. I pick the Leafs in 6 even though it would be nice to see them win in 5. Kevin Marlow from Scarborough. Thanks again to the both of you for taking the time to do these videos.
Leafs in six
Leafs will play defensively sound and will get solid goaltending and it will be too much for the Lightning to overcome. Expect a big series from Matthews and Marner.
