Damn, i was so pissed when Caps dropped Samsonov, last year! I said: How tf you let go a promising keeper who has much potential?! Of course he was making some mistakes during the season, but they were mostly cause shitty defense! But now I'm happy for Sam, he deserves to be a nr 1 keeper in a NHL team.

Here's a difference from the past. They didn't get out hit, they didn't get pushed around. That matters in the playoffs.
Keep it up.
GO LEAFS GO

Why did Tampa WIN 2 Cups and go to the finals? They watched, learned what they needed and built a TEAM to win. Leafs are different this year, hitting, grinding, skill, goaltending. Still they need to improve and are better team than what we saw. Can they win the CUP? 100%!! Now there are 8

WAY TO GO TORONTO SO HAPPY FOR YOU. KEEP GOING YOUR DOING GREAT.

Marner and Mathiews were beasts against TB. Im glad to see it, im glad they create fear with the skill. Mathiews throwing hits was awsome. Marner having the puck felt safe. O Reilly, what a beast. JT, Thanks.

wow Tavares not one mention of knies regarding the winning goal. he fed u a beauty of a pass on top of accepting and maintaining possession while being covered and in a very tight spot and he slipped it to you beautifullyto your tape assisting on a great goal. knies needs more respectwhen talking about "the goal.
