It's okay, we've all been hurt so many times by this team, I think we all default to assuming the worst when things aren't going the Leafs' way. It felt pretty bleak when TB was up 16 shots to 4 to be honest.
Yup we need to play with the same urgency that Tampa is going to come out with in game 6. We need to try to bury the series on their ice. When the Leafs play with passion they're a formidable team.
This is what's different about this team. That comeback win simply does not happen in previous years. It's been happening all season and it happens against the back to back champs! Let's fuckin do this yeaaaa!!!!!
I’m not gonna pretend I wasn’t having doubts after the first half of the game, but you know who didn’t? Jack fucking Campbell. He is a damned playoff goalie and shows up when you need him. The team rallied off his energy and here you go.
Right? I'm 43. I remember watching 40 years ago. Fuck you, let me have my doubts. When you've gone 40 years seeing your team implode in the playoffs THEN you can tell me to keep my doomsaying to myself.
I was nastily swearing at him after his low-IQ turnback in our zone on the half wall (instead of trying to clear it)... leading directly to their 3-3 tying goal. he has generally been much smarter this year. a couple mins later he makes that high-IQ pad-rebound pass for Matthews. I’m glad he didn’t crumble after that huge error & redeemed himself. gutsy comeback win.
I won't deny being a doubter for a while but this is the first time I've seen the Leafs come back in a game this crucial since the Pat Quinn era. I may be wrong about that but right now I'm too F'ing excited to care! This team proved me wrong tonight and I could not be more excited to say "I was wrong, this team has big heart! Let's F'ing go Leafs!"
Welp, this is the GDT I guess. Not sure what happened.
I think the Leafs have turned a corner. Terrible reffing no longer crushes them. It just makes them mad now.
Leafs gotta keep that momentum going for game 6.
This was a great game, let’s finish it in 6
I still cannot believe Marner shot that puck, dude has been pass first since the day he met Auston and its cost us in the past.
He wasn't shooting to put it in the net, it was basically a rebound pass. Marner deserves all the credit for that goal, anyone could have put it in.
Marner hit 30 this year because he finally learned that sometimes you just gotta shoot.
It was a pass essentially.
this thread was a cesspool of negativity all game and I contributed my own negative comment. . . showing very little faith.
Don’t feel bad. I got pissed off and walked out on the game three times tonight. Every time I did they scored though.
It's okay, we've all been hurt so many times by this team, I think we all default to assuming the worst when things aren't going the Leafs' way. It felt pretty bleak when TB was up 16 shots to 4 to be honest.

When this team wants to play they are probably unbeatable. But when they don't, man do they stink. Great 2nd and 3rd.
Unreal third. Tampa straight fell apart
Congratulations to
Going to be completely honest - I was super negative after the first period, but the buds shut me up and I’m very ok with that. Let’s gooooo!!
I switched jerseys between the 1st and 2nd. It seems to have paid off. I'll take full credit for tonight's win
Yeah I was preparing for some hate-watching after the first
I literally won an auction for a graded mathhews rookie patch card just as he scored. Man what a game.
I'm so happy you guys
you're amazing too
Love you buds, love you budettes, and everything in between and beyond, let's go!!
You too buddy
This is what's different about this team. That comeback win simply does not happen in previous years. It's been happening all season and it happens against the back to back champs! Let's fuckin do this yeaaaa!!!!!
All GDT have to be in this format now!!!
Noobie here. What's a GDT?
I’ve shit on Marner for past performance. Rightfully so I may add. But God damn he’s a beaut. Playing with some piss this year.
God I love and hate this team so much lol
I bet there's some juicy stuff at the other end of this thread. :)
All within the span of a period and a half.
I dont think ive ever seen a player get as excited as mikheyev when somebody scores. He looks like a toddler with the biggest smile. Gotta love it
Fuck Boston !!!
NEVER DOUBTED FOR A SECOND
I’m not gonna pretend I wasn’t having doubts after the first half of the game, but you know who didn’t? Jack fucking Campbell. He is a damned playoff goalie and shows up when you need him. The team rallied off his energy and here you go.
Fuck it ginger ales for the boys tonight on me!
Comeback is super fun, but let's start earlier next game eh
Hard to get going when the entire first is played by special teams one way or the other.
LETS FUCKIN GOOOOO
We start on time next game and it’s an easy series win! GO LEAFS GO
Just when I think these guys can’t get any worse, they go and COMPLETELY REDEEM THEMSELVES
Still wanna go to aspen?!
All you nay sayers that were out in force after the 1st, STFU next game, ok, or at least try to find a way to be constructive, please.
We’ve been conditioned over decades of this.
Guess I'm an asshole because I won't feel joy unless we see a decisive game 6 win. I've been around too long, young bloods.
Been down this road many times recently but something feels different this time. Just an inkling that we may be for real this year
Right? I'm 43. I remember watching 40 years ago. Fuck you, let me have my doubts. When you've gone 40 years seeing your team implode in the playoffs THEN you can tell me to keep my doomsaying to myself.
The Leafs haven't made it past the first round since my early 20s. I turn 40 this December. I'm right there with you, my friend.
We’ve all been around too bud, just gotta beleaf
That was bananas
FUCK YEAH BOYS WE DUG IN AND FUCKING DID IT IM PROUD OF YOU ALL
I really wish the nhl66 feed would stop cutting out before the 3 stars. 💔
anyone know the stars? even SN cut out...
1st star of the game…destiny.
This year is fucking different. Check out the crowd noise in the Arena. The fans energized the shit out of the team when the guys were dead.
Lol buncha guys lost their shirts/jerseys in Maple Leafs garden.
Icing on the cake...Canes beat Boston 5-1!
Subscribe
For fucks sake everyone have some soup right now
Holy fuck. Heart rate peaked at 114 there in the 3rd lol
Dangles I think 140 on the stream
Where are all the doomers from the first period?
It's okay to be down on the team when they had 5 shots. They played incredible afterwards
Lmfao where’s that guy who said Campbell is like Raycroft loooooooool
Holy fuck so many haters going back into their basement lmao
Where’s the guy that swore the leafs would lose, “usual suspects” IIRC.
Ngl I was a downer after the first
Same tbh
Holl was solid!!
I’m ready for this.
Holl was awesome when needed
I’m so happy
Now they NEED TO LAY THE HAMMER, killer instinct must be found!!!!! Next game
The core got it done 🥲🥹
I AM SO HAPPY
its time to fucking believe. WE’RE FINALLY PLAYING HOCKEY. EVERYONE SHOWING UP. NO MORE ROLLING OVER. ONE MORE FUCKING GAME AND TAMPA IS HISTORY
Mitch Marner is an absolute stud.
I was nastily swearing at him after his low-IQ turnback in our zone on the half wall (instead of trying to clear it)... leading directly to their 3-3 tying goal. he has generally been much smarter this year. a couple mins later he makes that high-IQ pad-rebound pass for Matthews. I’m glad he didn’t crumble after that huge error & redeemed himself. gutsy comeback win.
This right here. He was by far the best player out there tonight.
i fucking love the leafs lmao what a game boys. 1 more and we elongate the stanley cup champion. lets go. focus up. what a win!!!!
Stretch those fuckers out!!
Honestly that was bigger than another 5-0 answer game
They showed resilience where they easily could have wilted.
I won't deny being a doubter for a while but this is the first time I've seen the Leafs come back in a game this crucial since the Pat Quinn era. I may be wrong about that but right now I'm too F'ing excited to care! This team proved me wrong tonight and I could not be more excited to say "I was wrong, this team has big heart! Let's F'ing go Leafs!"
you’re correct! SN commentators said the last time the Leafs came back to win from a multi-goal deficit in the playoffs was early-2000s against OTT.
Yeahhhh boyzzz. Stamkos penalty was the turning point
MVP MVP MVP
I AM ROCK HARD PEOPLE
LEEEETTTTSSS FUUUUUCKKKKIIINNGGGG GOOOOOO
That was ELECTRIC for the 2nd & 3rd.
6 times this year they came back from 0-2 to win it.... now 7
Soup upside down all game!!!!! Dude won us that game
LETS FUCKING GO BABY COME BACK !!!!!!!!!!!!!
I may not hate hockey.
LETS FUCKING GO
Playoffs hockey ❤️
Devils fan rooting for you guys - I get the doom and gloom after the first two Tampa goals given game 4, but man some of you guys are pussies.
Easy for you to say. Your team has 3 Cups in my lifetime
Lol
Everyone remember everything you did today, and do it all again on Thursday.
3 hours of sleep, here we gooooo
Except for the postings in the first half of the game. We could stop doing that.
Best game we have played in last 18 years?
most gutsy.
Game 1 was.
Best 30 min?
Carry that momentum because that was one hell of a fucking effort to get this game back!!
That warm fuzzy feeling in your face when your nervous evaporate and your heart rate goes down. Fuck yes!
I take it all back. Let this be when we change the fucking narrative
See you in Tampa Cooperrrrrrrrrrrrr LOLL
Wow. My heart is not calming down.
I’m shaking, my wife likes me more than her favourite toy right now
I’m too old for this shit! Lol
LETS GO BOOYYYYYSSS!!!!!! WHAT A WIN!!!!! JUST 1 MORE!!
You see that? someone was holding up 2 fingers to 91 Blue like "hey man, u had 2 points tonight, take that in"
That's a playoff win right there, hard fought comeback from being behind early and Jack stood on his head when we they needed it.
Campbell really kept them alive there after the first 2 goals made some big saves love to see it
Spezza said the magic words, put him into Playoff mode.
YEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Bravo Leafers!!
That took some time off my life
LETS FUCKING GO! FULL 60 MINUTE EFFORT ON THURSDAY! THIS SERIES IS OURS!
Play the whole game like the last 30 minutes tonight and there is no way they’re losing.
Now everyone talking shit in the 1st about no heart and how bad Campbell is....you are the one with no heart!
GROUP HUG IN THE SHOWER
Reminds me of this:
Gotta do more than a hug in the shower. They're celebrating.
Avs fan here in peace. That was fun AF hockey, lads. Good luck next game! Beat them in 6.
Amazing how entertaining that was when they stopped the parade to the penalty box.....
OP is our new GDT guy! Make it happen!!
Thirded
Seconded! OP is a godamned Rabbit’s foot
Fuuuuuuck the doom-and-gloom-era!!! Go Leafs! Goooooooo!!!
Just when I think the leafs couldn’t get ANY worse, they go and do something like this….and TOTALLY REDEEM THEMSELVES.
I just have to say every one of you who whined like little bitches when wasn't even close to over need to fuck right off.
Are you new? We were up 3-1 last year we have every right
Fighting outta a hole shows a bit of character
Matthews Clap
I LOVE THIS TEAM AND EVERYONE IN HERE
I'm crying and I have no idea what's happening with my emotions
Decades of Leafs abuse hurt us
Campbell shut the door at the end of that game
Campbell shut that damn door alright yea baby!!!
We know this is going 7.
Fuck offf
nah im done doubting this team they do it in 6
Campbell better be first star
We’re a dangerous team when we show up.
I'm going to Game 6. I bought my ticket after the Game 4 blowout. I'm loyal. Please God. Let me witness. I'll cry.
PLEASE GOD LET HIM WITNESS
I don't think I can take another game 7 in the 1st round. So I hope you get the game of your life.
🤞🙏
PLEASE GOD LET CASUALCHAOS12 WITNESS
PLEASE GOD LET HIM WITNESS
One MORE Game!!!
Lol Carlton hits the ice and Marner rushes over
Where all those fucking fake fans now? You don’t deserve this win
true, it is crazy how many people on here will praise the leafs when they actively shat on them like half an hour ago
Next GDT also has to be called "GDT???"
It is written
Seriously !
😂👏
Fuck the doubters. That’s how it’s done. One more, friends. Let’s make it next game.
Leafs in 6, what a game, what a performance form the leafs
LETS FUCKIN GO WHOOOOOOOO
Jack Campbell is a Toronto Maple Leaf
I take back everything bad I said about this team after the first period
I eat shit on my previous words in the 1st. I didn't think they had it in em. Wow. Well done boys. Well done.
No way they're beating us back to back. Go Leafs Go!!
Holy snappin' arseholes!!!
BRYAN CALLED IT BIG NIGHT FOR PAPI!
Everyone who “gave up” or “wanted out” can GAGF.
DOOMERS WHERE YOU NOW HUH
Crack a beer
Remember when we thought we were going to lose this game? BECAUSE I DON’T!!!!!
WOOOOO
Commentators - the team to score first has won every game this series

BUDS
BIGGEST WIN OF THE SHANAHAN ERA. NOW FINISH THE JOB.
I hereby retract all statements made in this GDT
I mean, if Vasilevsky is going to let in at least 3 goals every game we play him we'll take that every time. ( ͡ ͡° ͜つ ͡͡° )
