I hope the Leafs win, but don't think they will win 3 consecutive games in Tampa which means there will be a game 7. And you know, Leafs....Game 7's...not good.
But for one, if they do blow the series at least i don't have to watch and listen to those fucking morons at Maple Leafs Square "Leafs in 5" or "we are going all the way", its one thing to be confident and another to be an obnoxious idiot.

Interesting. My late Uncle used to say the same thing.
Just out of curiosity, who has the NHL designated as this years Stanely Cup winner?
He totally took himself out of the play at the blue line on that 1st goal and Tampa walked in from there.
I love Holl for his grit and heart. He would block shots with his head and get hammered to make a play; but my criticism on him is his inability to make the right play in tight situations. When there’s no one between you and the goal you don’t go for the hit and risk missing the guy as he did.
On the other goal his slow footedness allowed the Lightning player to walk around him and Samsonov allowed that shot from a terribly sharp angle to go through him. That’s the kind of softies he cannot allow for the Leafs to have a chance to win. When you see him flopping around in the early going, you know he’’s not going to have a good game.

Bunting is in tonight, looks like. Was intrigued at a story looking at how improbable it is for a team to fail to close out a series on 11 consecutive chances. It has happened to other teams but not to this degree. Turns out the chances of failing to close out a series on 11 different opportunities is about 1 in 10,000 . That is ludicrous. What if they lose tonight and Monday and then it goes to failing on 13 chances ? It is becoming absurd, almost tempting me to think there is something going on here that is 'fixed' .

It is strange that only one Canadian team has won the CUP since Bettman because Commissioner in 1993. I'm sure Bettman would love a NYC and L.A. finals.
Anyway, even if the Leafs lose to-night they still live to fight another day.
If they lose out and got eliminated in first round of playoff, it is time for Kyle Dubas and Sheldon Keefe be fired.
Sick of seeing them losing. Also time for Mathews to leave too.
CP
Shanahan might in jeopardy as well. I think we are now in year 8 of his 5 year plan.
Wow, we did. We are in Round 2 for the first time since 2004.
