After his game 4 and 1st period performance of game 5.....he really really needed to step up

Alright Thursday night. Time to break this stupid streak about Tampa not losing back to back games.

Tampa reminds me of my old cat Chomsky. He was a great cat. We had to put him to sleep.

I was mad, annoyed, fed up and about to turn the game off, was waiting for the 3-1 back breaker. we took off all our leafs gear after the first

i guess it worked, not wearing it next game

I ate like 7 pieces of fried chicken and the game turned around. Going to be a tough superstition to carry on for 13 more wins, but I embrace pain as my beloved master.

Let's praise Campbell for not giving up the back breaker. Bolts had plenty of chances to ice it, and Jack held them in. If the tables were turned, everyone would be talking about Vasi the God! Soup was incredible!

Hoping against all of the ghosts of Leafs teams past, that this gets finished game 6.

Very true. Huge bounce back for him as well. That breakaway save on Paul in particular comes to mind

He was the reason they were down in the first
And why does every one go back to game 4? It was 5 nothing, so lets race to the boards and get crushed and maybe injured. that would have changed zero narrative.

What a game, and what a play by Marner for the game winner.

Hopefully this was the comeback the leafs needed to have the confidence to win this series.

Well I have the Leafs in 6 in my hockey pool so that's probably not going to happen.

What a play by Vas, kicking right on to Mathews stick.

Auston Matthews in Game 5:

•Game-winning goal
•13 shot attempts
•7 hits
•61% faceoffs
•TOI: 23:42


Just what the leafs needed from Matthews. More ice time.

A) it was still early in the game
B) its the playoffs, any play can change the game.
C) my gawd that looked horrible...but he wasnt great throughout the whole game.
D) if you are not going to chase the puck down, go for a line change at least.

Yup, marner came to play, he had some gaffs but overall pretty darn good.
The play off vasi was brilliant.

Ya he kept them in for sure, made some top level saves.
We need another game like that from him.
Still worries me that we havent seen Vasi's best, hopefully we dont.

Before this series started I would have thought a game full of special teams would have favoured the Leafs and a series of 'no calls' would have favoured TB.

Leafs dominated 5v5. First period was all PK and PP ...no chance to get set. Next two periods the Steak took control.

Looks like McD and Draisatl tried to do what 34-16 did ....but didn't get 'er done.

Early? He wasn't on the ice for the 2 goals in the first.
That play didn't change a thing, Tampa didn't score afterward.
Yes it was ugly, seen lots uglier in games 2 and 4. So lets only hang Nylander and Holl.
He did chase the puck down afterwards and nearly stole it from the Tampa defender.
