    What a great job that guys has, gets to pump every leafs every game when they enter. How do I get that job?

  2. pretzelzetzel

    Alexander Kerfoot | John Tavares | William Nylander

    WHY GOD WHY

  3. hhhhbkaew

    Guys don’t forget what the corgi predicted.

    Corgi said leafs in 7 against the lightning, we won in 6

    Corgi said leafs in 6 against the Panthers, we will when in 7

  4. Eh-Eh-Ronn

    I can’t help but feel that this is gonna be a bloodbath as soon as the puck drops. People gotta pay for their dirty hockey and I’m here for it

  5. I’d expect 4-5 pps for all four teams tonight. Apparently the league is watching both games even closer.

  6. useless-loser1821

    Lots of good vibes downtown. Hope lives on. Love to see it! Ive had my ritualistic pregame whiskey shot and beer. I’m ready!!!!! Let’s goooooo

  7. TheLoomingMoon

    I have the game 6 and game 4 feeling again. So gonna say it’s in the books.

  8. QueasyPreparation663

    I’d really like it if Bobrovsky struggled today.

  9. Today kicked my ass, can’t wait to just watch some hockey GLG!

  10. PhilMcCraken2001

    I enjoy watching the leaf’s with this warm weather, let’s keep this season going boys!

  11. siguel_manchez

    Beers cracked. Just settling down now while I wait on the ViaPlay coverage to start here in Ireland at midnight.

    Commmeeee oooonnnnn!!!!

  12. *Queue Dwayne Johnson’s voice*

    Finally, the Maple Leafs HAVE Come BACK to Toronto.

    People said, when florida got up 1-0!…2-0!.., 3-0!>…that the Leafs…That the Leafs are done. Leafs are finished. Leafs are toast. Well those people can take those comments and shove up their candy ass.

    You know, it makes me wonder, sam bennett… I wonder what Sam Bennett thinks of game 5?

    IT DOESNT MATTER WHAT SAM BENNETT THINKS OF GAME 5. because when the Florida panthers, enters toronto, the leafs are going to lay the smackdown all over jabroni lane, and lay the people’s elbow all over the monkey poo that is the Panthers.

    “Oohh, I am the underdog!!! Ohhh, I beat the bruins! Ooh, I punch people in the mouth” oh shut the hell up, you thong wearing jabroni.

    if you SMELLLLLLLL what the leafs are cooking.

  13. dudewhosbored

    God help us; my wife who has watched every game we have lost has decided that she wants to watch this one…. Gonna have to keep her away from the game.

  14. reivax314

    I didn’t drink last game, I guess I’ll need to stay dry for this one. Fuck

  15. lovesilver

    Florida came back from 3-1 to beat Boston….it’s our turn to do it to them. GLG!

  16. CdnRageBear

    I’m here to get the Leafs tattoo on my ass, 3 games away!

  17. Competitive_Ad2450

    Elliot just making up rumours….about ppl not being a fan of the hotel stay last night. Ugh

  18. RapsareChamps_Suckit

    All this overthinking and anxiety from you guys just for the Leafs to win 5-1 … see ya Sunday folks

  19. Big_Solution_1065

    Good luck tonight everyone it’s been real

  20. Big_Solution_1065

    Love this team and these fans no matter what happens

  21. TheGrimReaper-11

    The toronto maple syrup are going to **CHOKE** tonight **BIGTIME!!!**

  22. ajramone

    “You see what you folks don’t understand, what you don’t understand is you’ve never been in a position like this. You’ve never had that kind of thing. You’ve never had that kind of manhood to stand up and actually clash like two titans. You don’t know what it’s like to come from the guts and have to go out there and prove yourself. Not for money, not for gain. Just to prove a point.

    Just to prove that [Florida], that you are a piece of garbage.”

    RIP Roddy, looking down on us with bagpipes, and he’s all out of chewing gum. GLG!

  23. frmacleod

    I’m sitting in the waiting room waiting for the dentist to call me. But it still sounds less stressful than watching this game.

  24. TheGreatJatsby

    Let’s do this for u/PrimoThePro the man is our lucky charm tonight.

  25. NiteOwlI

    Every other series has had several 5 or 6 goal blowouts.. can my team get one of those?

    Tonight, I want to relax and make fun of Bennett with a smile on my face. Not make fun of Bennett with burning hatred in my eyes.

    As always – one game at a time.

  26. Kazhawrylak

    Why does Luke Schenn look like he just played a whole game? 🤣 Dude warms up harrrrd.

  27. TasaArvo

    I have been drinking Salt & Pepper vodka from KOTO Spirits for like 4 hours now, I’m wasted as fuckz

    I’ll take a shot everytime Marner turn the puck over in our zone and everytime Matthews hits the post/crossbar

    And for every goal we score tonight

    Probably also for every panther goal tonight (hope for 0)

  28. Kazhawrylak

    Indeed, guy in Maple Leafs Square, let’s do it for Borje. 🔥🔥🤘 GLG!!!

  29. biograf_

    Hoping for the best, but the smart money is on yet another choke.

  30. RapsareChamps_Suckit

    Daily Reminder: don’t stress … leafs win in 7 and get ready for Carolina

  31. Faceit_Solveit

    Dallas Stars fan again coming in peace and harmony. Last Leafs game I participated and y’all Won! Time to continue The greatest comeback in Canadian history! Marner confirmed for Lebowski like cool. Tkachuk confirmed for after-game wusshood.

  32. cantbanthepoolgator

    LET’S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

  33. KingRabbit_

    I’d like to see Keefe experiment a little bit and have Matthews on the same line as Marner.

    Maybe we can put Nylander with Tavares, too. Oh, oh! And keep Hall on the first D pairing.
