thebug Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 I am a Sabres fan through and through...no second teams except anyone playing the Flyers, Leafs or Bruins.. Having said that, I think the Leafs have a legitimate shot to win this series...and i would not have said that after they blew that lead last game of season, they look fantastic! If you are a Leaf fan, what do you think the atmosphere in the building will be if Leafs down 1-0 early 2nd? I say dead as a doornail. I don't think so. Fans know this team is capable of coming back in a game, especially if only down by one. Leafs fans can actually "bring it" when it comes to play-off atmosphere, they just haven't had many opportunities lately. I think the fans will surprise you.

I hope so...love the Candian team home games, makes for great TV. Let's hope corporate world went out at 5, got nice and liquored up, and is ready to sing that anthem and roll with some Go Leafs Go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plenzmd1 Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 (edited) These Leafs ...kill off a 2 minute 5-3, then immediately another kill, then they come back to get withing 1. They flat out better than the Sabres, but that coach has them believing as well. Good to be a Leafs fan about now Edited April 18, 2017 by plenzmd1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Wow, Caps looked cooked ,tired,slow, and stressed. they were very aggressive in the first period then got too fancy. 3 on 5 and you deke for 10 to 15 seconds. Pass the puck or take a freaking shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gomper Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Leafs are such a blast to watch. They literally have no idea they're supposed to feel pressure. A few of them were smiling and laughing on the bench late in the 3rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

row_33 Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Leafs are such a blast to watch. They literally have no idea they're supposed to feel pressure. A few of them were smiling and laughing on the bench late in the 3rd. Not a single ego-trip on the roster (unlike the Caps), this has been a fun and entertaining team. They just dipsy-doodle around and create scoring opps from any angle possible. Pests who forecheck and work a power play very well. Wish they'd lean more on just flicking the puck 4 feet off the ground at the net when there's traffic out front, so many goals are scored from this instead of slamming the puck with a 10% chance of hitting the net... but they are starting to appreciate this move. Fun ride so far, expecting it to fall apart next game, but who knows??? Zach Hyman wrecklessly dumping and chasing to set up the second goal was one of the best Leafs plays of the last 50 years.

row_33 Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Leafs are like Ron Artest, no clue they are in a pressure situation, leads to making crazy 3 pointers without a care in the world in the last minute of game 7s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teef Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Great pass, catch and finish. Karlsson is amazing... if the sens walk away winners from this series, i'm guessing they're going to be pretty gassed. what a great couple of games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
