WOW !!! Three games 3 OTs two terrific set plays and the Leafs lead 2-1. They seem to be playing better as the series drags on.

It was a total team effort from rookies to veterans, even my favourite whipping boy Jake played great. Kadri's threw some huge hits and turned the momentum around.

It's only 3 games but the confidence of this young Leaf team is growing by leaps and bounds.

They truly believe in themselves and have placed a huge seed of doubt in the Capitals minds.

Love this commercial by Samsung. The Leafs are trying to do the impossible. Even if they are not successful this year, they have succeeded in giving their fans hope for many years to come.

Zaitsev certainly screwed up on the first goal by missing his assignment, then instead of blocking the point shot, screened Andersen. Hopefully he's better on Wednesday. Great win though!

Don Cherry should shuddup, shuttin up. And go get a prostate exam - from Shaq.

Anyone who didn't think the Caps would take advantage of Zaitsev, as he got the cobwebs out, knows as much about hockey as kyleb899 does. Cherry's long tirade against him was kicking someone when he's down, Lou should take this bully to the woodshed over this. Great win and perfect gameplan, take the older Caps to OT and wear them down.

Hang on folks, things are going to get interesting.

If the Leafs keep on playing the way they played last night, I would keep my fingers still crossed. The Leafs need extremely focus on the puck... There is only one puck or on ball in NBA.

Go Leafs Go!

I am happy to eat my own words of "Caps in 5".

The young Leafs are an exciting team to watch and I agree with Kathleen, they are a hard working bunch.

Kadri is turning into the player I always thought he could be. After a strong showing in the regular season, to a solid showing thus far in the playoffs. It just goes to show what a great coach can do.

Once again Ovie has got to be the worst captain in all of hockey. His post game interview shows it all, from his mannerism, his speech and his facial expression, he looks and sounds like a beaten man. Does he know nothing of how to do an interview and use your best upbeat attitude and poker face, even when the chips are down?

Here's what the sports reporter in the Washington Times wrote after the game:

"This gang of infants is testing them to their limit, and the Capitals are starting to run out of time."

LOL.

I guess you don't like when you're crushed underneath the bandwagons wheels?

This isn't just a Toronto phenomenon, it happens all over the world and has done so for decades and I'm sure has happened since Roman times, when the city went nuts over the Gladiator final showdowns. In case you missed it, successful teams bring out more fans and while the casual fan can take or leave it during the regular season. The playoffs arouse more interest and it's not called the second season for no reason.

Toronto is only seem to be the only city in North America to have Sports fans to get crazy over one playoff win. I know that Toronto had been waiting since 1993 for a Championship sport team.
Enjoy this short Playoff run Leafs fans LOL
