ParticipantWill this version of the Toronto Maple Leafs be hero’s and come back in the series to win 2 straight and slay the game 7 dragon?
Or
Will they have teased their fanbase yet again, showing what they are capable of in 3 games in a playoff series only to lose another game 7?
This equation feels me asking if Charlie Brown finally kick that football or will that cruel bitch Lucy manage to pull it away again?
My heart says this is the year the Leafs figure it out and win a game 7. He head says it’s an insane expectation against the defending cup champs.
God I’d love to see the entire “core” have the games of their lives and destroy Florida but I’ll take a bottom 6 player or 2 stepping up and some offense from the back end again for a win.
Go Leafs Go.

Might be without Knies at 100%. Or at all.
That’s a problem.

ParticipantEarly market: cheapest pair of tickets for tomorrow night’s game is $638 per ticket.
For $3,313 each, you can sit on the glass next to the Leafs’ bench.

ParticipantI have a been a fan of this team since 1961. I have had the good fortune to see them win 4 Cups in the 60’s. Since then, with few exceptions, the team has been a shit show. Like Mike from Buffalo, whom I have followed for years, this club has to show me. I hate to say it, but I expect a loss in game7. In this case, In would love to be wrong. Let’s see what happens.

Hope for the best, expect the worst. Rather be surprised than disappointed.
This Panthers team is very strong and they shutout McDavid in Game 7 of the Final last year. They have been there before. And they have even more experience this time around. The Leafs have Game 7 demons.
It’ll take some kind of miracle for the Leafs to pull it off. And that’s why we watch.

Doubt it until I see it. They’ve given me no evidence to prove they’re up to the Game 7 task.
But more importantly, Florida has every advantage they need to win it and they’ve done it before. The Leafs aren’t bad this year. Florida is simply better in every way.
Panthers are basically undefeated if they end the 1st or 2nd period with a lead.
If the Leafs want any hope to win they must: Score first, control the play, draw penalties, score on the PP and then, the hardest part, hold a 3rd period Game 7 lead.
Marner has a GWG, Matthews has a GWG and Knies is playing injured but he’s already had his GWG. Who is going to step up and be the game winner tonight?
Nylander? Tavares? They had moments earlier in the series but haven’t done much since Game 4 and missed many golden chances. That has to change.
Rielly? OEL? Leafs usually win games when the D is capable of scoring. OEL should be on the PP1. Rielly is a pylon but he’s had some offensive fortune in the playoffs.
Will somebody from the bottom-six FINALLY be able to score a goal? Robertson, the only bottom-six guy who scored a goal is not in the line-up.
The Panthers 3rd line has been a powerhouse and their depth advantage is forcing the Leafs top line to produce all the offense. That usually doesn’t work out for the Leafs.
