I'm not sure if you're feigning ignorance to make a joke or if you've really never seen or heard of the legendary Paul Bearer.

So 1 goal, 3 assists, in 28 playoff games in Toronto.

He's really gone downhill for Toronto. That 1 goal in 28 playoff games is 0.035 goals per game. Previously he had 4 goals in 75 playoff games for a gpg of.... 0.053. Nevermind, my point isn't helping build him up at all.

I've had a long week. Somehow I didn't pay close enough attention to realize that Toronto is on the brink of elimination tonight. At this junction there is only one thing they can do.

Lay it on the line.

They better put it across the line if they wanna win . Otherwise theyll just be another Leaves team to lose yet again and its even more delicious because Marchand is a killer who's helped do it more than anyone.

That 3rd line is lethal.

I think Leaf players saw the NHL ad with that Triumph song and heard 'lay down on the line.'

That last game was the worst performance in a game 5, series 2 - 2 scenario that I have seen.

I would not bet on Leafs extending the series. I hope they prove me wrong as I really want them beat by the Jets in the final. The probability of that outcome is looking grim.

I kinda want Leafs win here to cause chaos and yet another gm 7 for the Leafs, in Toronto too. That presents two scenarios, Leafs gm 7 heartbreak OR Flames 22 pick. Either scenario is beneficial.

WTH Cats, wake the hell up.

Nope go Panthers. Every series must go the way which allows the teams remaining the best opportunity to beat the oilers. Carolina is resting, hopefully Florida and Dallas close out their series as well.

[Saqe]

The Panthers are lucky to get away from that period at 0-0. The PPs were so bad that they killed all the momentum they had in the beginning. Good thing is they get stronger as the game goes on.

Why is Matthews so mad? It’s a clear high stick

Probably because they missed a high stick on him earlier. It was super quick in a faceoff scrum, so hard to blame the officials, but it was really close to his eye.

It’s hilarious to go to the room for repairs on a missed high stick and immediately get called for high sticking upon return. I would have put my stick through the penalty box door.

Matthews. 1-0
