Looking at game 7, know that we can eliminate the Stanly Cup Champions, on home ice. It’s why Berube pushed them so hard during the last week of the schedule. Getting home ice and having the ability to have last change is crucial. Keefe never understood this and rested players, down the stretch. It’s why we ended up with a game 7 in Boston last season. If we prevail, it will be a major step forward. To play Carolina with Home Ice would be an opportunity to make it to the finals. I’ll go out on a limb here and say Dallas will defeat Winnipeg and if so, the Leafs have Home Ice for the rest of the playoffs. Doesn’t sound like a big deal, but the games will be closer and small variances like penalty killing and powerplays will become magnified. Just score one more goal than Florida, tomorrow night, and it’ll be go time!
We are half way to this pollyanna comment aging well. I posted this during the period of angry dooming after the Game Three Bed-Shitting incident.
It looks bad, but this series isn’t over yet. Leafs could still win this and I will root for them until the end, win or lose.
If they win the next two and pull this off, then we’ll look back on these doomer comments and laugh about it… – PDO

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.
Go leafs go.

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.fifty mission cap

Settle down fakesie. Not happy to just be in game 7 – WINNING game 7.Go Leafs go!
Im settled. Just saying.

No, 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”. Time for the leafs to be too good – FaksieI think Fifty meant that we’d all take a game 7 against Florida in this series. The current champs.

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.
