I think the important parts the leafs should take away from last night were that they were able to play a close checking game, shut down Florida PP and all their offense.We can shit on the leafs all we want but they have done a good job of shutting down their top guys for the most part this series.
Agreed. But they have to do again. Leafs have been great in one offs, need consistency over more than one game.

I think Fifty meant that we’d all take a game 7 against Florida in this series. The current champs. I don’t think he meant it was good enough or that if they lose he’s okay with it or that fans should be okay with it. Just that if at the start of the series someone guaranteed a game 7 and you never saw the other games, he’d take it which is a pretty good opportunity for the leafs to move forward.Again, I think he wasn’t giving a participation ribbon for anything just talking about this series only.
That wasnt directed at fifty, just a vent in general.
Leafs played well last night, Woll was great from what I saw.
But they need to do it again…..and probably again a few more times (other series obviously).As I’ve said before Marner and Matthews have a chance to change their narrative Sunday and beyond (if they make it).
Almost every year, some team beats the former champs…leafs need to be the team this year.May 17, 2025 at 9:38 am #5408Fakepartofme

ParticipantNo, game 7 isnt good enough with this team.
Its deep in round 3 or 4 or its just anorher wasted year.
Im tired of the excuses and fans being happy with this team simply showing up for certain games. Its been 9 years, time to win several rounds. Enough with the 1st/2nd round participation ribbons. Beat a good team, every year its “tampas too good, bostons too good, Florida is too good”.

If you asked before the series would you take a game 7, most of us would have said yes. What an opportunity this isNo, game 7 isnt good enough with this team.

ParticipantDid I actually read that JT needed to do more when it comes to GWG ms – after being the guy who prior to this year was the only one to get this team to the 2nd round?
And then the fans were terrible in game 5? The fans who paid 400 bucks minimum per seat to watch the Leafs absolute not show up at all?
And then Marner doesn’t get enough love and because he got an assist on a pedestrian pass where Matthews buried the game winner after 9 years of choking in late series games Marner should get paid basically whatever he wants?
All from the same person?
JFC those are some super hot takes there…..???? -Cush29
Does Tavares have a GWG this series? Any points in the elimination games? You want to bitch about Marner in elimination games (1 GWG in the series and primary assist on GWG in an elimination game) while Tavares is doing less offensively and is a liability defensively (11 EVGA in 12GP, worst among all Leafs forwards)? Will the NHL award the Leafs the series victory vs. Florida because Tavares scored against Tampa Bay 2 years ago?
Fans were absolutely horrible in Game 5 from the start. They spent a lot of money to be there? Great. Now they have 400 more reasons to be louder and stop pretending they’re watching an opera. Give your team an advantage. Watch a Jets or Oilers game for a lesson if you need one.
Marner made a fantastic play to get Matthews the puck and played great defense. You’re just too much of a hater to realize it. Matthews had ZERO goals beyond the 1st round until tonight. He’s getting 13+ AAV. But that’s perfectly fine? Wonder how he scores his one goal with nobody to steal the puck and pass it to him anymore? Wonder how he holds the lead without Marner’s PK / defensive abilities?
Reality hurts you. It hurts your arguments even more.
