I'm still pinching myself . Can't believe they tied the series. 1 more win. Let's go boys.. LET'S GO BLUE LET'S GO WHITE LET'S GO LEAFS FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT
They decided to play playoff hockey on home ice and it paid off. These guys can beat anyone if they play like this for 60 mins every game. They still need to fire whoever is drawing up their zone entries and powerplay strategies but the whole team came up big in this one. Willy coming up big ...and getting involved physically...Tavares doing a bit of everything well, McCabe Benoit and the whole D corp were hard on the body and on the puck all night, Woll looked steady and dialed in, the effort and compete level of Domi and Bertuzzi just looked infectious. Impressed with the shutdown abilities of Kampf and Dewar, Gregor and holmberg were good too...all around terrific. They needed to do the opposite of game 4 and they did.

Way to go ! 🎉
Marner will come through in game seven getting a goal and two assists, along with another solid defensive game again, playing a tight box and keeping everything to the outside and letting Woll see the puck. If he sees it, he'll stop it, Woll's a rockstar back there. Solid effort from the forwards who continuing to come back down low to help out their d and break up the cycle, and not cheating for offense. Nice to see this full team effort a couple games in a row now. Make it three and you'll win the series. End it in game 7 by finally going 2 for 3 on the PP to put you over the top winning 4-2. You've got this boys. Go Leafs Go
Top 3 best games I've seen live! The energy in the building was electric & my fav was the SWYMAN chants non stop😂

Travares may not be a fast duel to his age but he is still such a great competitor. What he lacks in quickness he makes up in body positioning and smarts.

I wasn't, dude's the only one who's been consistently good every playoff season. That's the problem. JT was good last year, but other than that the other two haven't performed up to par. It's Matty, and especially Marner that need to step up their play. Marner has Kane level talent. He just needs Kane level drive now.

That’s what home ice should be, I know ticket prices are high and people want to be entertained but if fans are loud and cheer for their team the players feel it. It’s important to support your team in your own building gives the players a little bit extra o work with
I’ve said it before and I will say it again. Joseph Woll is special. He will go down as one of the best goalies the Leafs ever produced. His fundamentals, poise, confidence and fearless demeanour is a revelation. He will take us to the promise land with Nylander and hopefully Matthews returning healthy and well. Knies, you’re a true leader and competitor, a warrior. I love you boys. Woll, you are the saviour. The best of you is yet to come and it’s exciting. Tomorrow, is your true coming out party and will win us a crucial game. The boys will come ready and will dominate tomorrow. The wheel has finally turned for the Leafs. This team will do something special and unexpected.
Knies is the real deal. Kids an absolute unit.
They did rally back they showed a lot of heart this is a different group , a lot character in that room , going to be sad when they are broken up , a lot of raw emotions , friendships brotherhood moments for sure , young team moving towards the next step of their careers , kinda of sad knowing that some of these players and teammates will not be together next season
I TOLD YOU. THEY AIN'T DEAD YET. We get hung up on how good Matthews, Marner, and Samsnov are. That people forget how good Nylander, Tavares, McMahon and Woll are. When the Leafs work together as a team, they accomplish greatness! Somewhere #93 is smiling out there.
Great game! Leaf nation understood Joe Bowen’s assignment ~ they were loud and proud all night! The energy was nothing short of FANTASTIC! Good job Leafs! We believe and knew you were more than capable to turn the tide!
I see a lot of people saying it was a boring game but if you love defense (as I do) that was amazing to watch. The crowd was unreal and I wish they were like that every game. Boston shouldnt of let Willy wake up, I said it after the first goal. Knies is a beast and he just keeps getting better....in Woll we trust
