As a neutral hockey fan, game 7 would be awesome but I know that's not what you want to hear, some of you might die of a heart attack

A lot of people are suggesting that there would be more viewers for that game than any non leaf Stanley cup final game.

The back reading from yesterday's boards

Not sure you're allowed to have an opinion in here any more so guess I'll keep mine to myself.

How's the weather fellas? Or is that too opinionated?

Weather is fine down here. Don't tell me who said it but what was the opinion that was disallowed?

If there’s a game 7 I’ll be as far up the Amazon as far away from any internet signal as I can.

Hmmm, how do I dance this line....

A modzer, who shall remain nameless, was not "agreeing" with the opinion of another "fan" and thought he was "fake" and the ban hammer came a swinging.

Didn't seem quite fair IMHO.

We still ranting about how Dubas didn't trade for Fleury or no? Minnesota season on the line and they're starting Talbot. 🤣

If we ever win the cup…..
I die when the buzzer reaches 0 🤷

That actually worries me too. I would like to have at least a couple of weeks to brag incessantly.

Well spirits aren't beer. Neither is wine, cider, or big fat doobies.

Since I'm a teetotaller I'm just going to have a pizza party. I'm feeling a classic vibe - pepperoni, tomato, mushroom, green pepper and extra cheese. With some ice cream, and pop.

I was 22 then. I could take it.

Right now, old folks could make a killing auctioning off blood pressure meds to Leaf fans.

Do you remember that 6-0 shelling of St. Louis in game 7? Do you remember how wonderful it was to watch that game? Especially the way CuJo had played for the Blues all series? That's the type of playoff game I like.

Congrats to the Leafs on the comeback and decisive win.

A few thoughts from the enemy trenches :

1) In the days of Lightning old, I would have been satisfied that a 2-goal lead is a death sentence for the opposing team in 90% of games, playoffs or not. This year has been different because Vasi is not up to his usual dominant self. The pedestrian season stats and lack of Vezina nomination is proof that something wasn't right in Russian goalie land. Sure, he's been good, but not exceptional. And that has exposed some of the Lightning's ugly blemishes. The Lightning can score their way out of problems when Vasi is only allowing 2-ish goals per game. When Vasi gives up 4 or 5, those problems start outrunning your scoring talent. Vasi has yet to goalie the poop out of the Leafs and steal a game or two. Will he? He's running out of time and runway.

2) Leafs are no pushover. They are not soft. They have the talent to beat your defense and your goalie. If Tavares gets rolling finally, then it becomes a pick your poison matchup down the center with the top-2 lines, and then look the F out.

3) Leafs defense is solid now, no glaring weak spots. Holl gets hate, but this Leafs blueline (when healthy) is better than it's been in many years.

Tables were turned in the last game. Bolts choked and the Leafs actually showed some of that "killer instinct" they get beat up about in the media. Let's see if that killer instinct carries over into tonight's game, or if this goes back to Toronto for a dreaded Game 7. I'm cool with any result. It's been a great run for the Bolts, so if it ends during this series, I can live with that, IF the Leafs take advantage of that and go on a deep run after dispatching the Lightning. No beating the defending champs and then choking in the next round - finals or bust.

That's the difference in the team this year, Never had that depth before. Remember the days when 51 and 52 were always our achillies heel in the play-offs.

. The addition of Boosh and Gio are giving us a chance in this series.

I like Boosh, but I still don't like him on the top pair. He'd be more effective against a lower level of competition.

Gio has been everything we could have asked for and more. I wasn't even sure I wanted them to get him after watching us play Seattle twice - but he's been great and as often is, I was wrong.
