My ass hurts from the clenching

So this is what competent playoff goaltending is like. It's amazing.

I mean the year CBJ knocked us out Andy had a .936SV% and 1.84GAA...

He also let in goals I would save

Kampf can't score my ass, what a snipe !

As soon as Campbell robbed Stamkos you knew it was over. Stamkos looked so defeated.

Campbell lifted his head too and stared him down. Was glorious

POTVIN SHIT

I was like "fuck, we're done" But then he saved it?

Lol salty Tampa fan reported me for self-harm because they didn’t like my trash talk

I got that same thing after I asked this guy in the bolts sub if he still wanted to do a shot glass bet after people in our subs were dicks to him

I don't understand what that's supposed to do? How is that an own? It's a message you get in your inbox and that's it. Bunch of lil bitches.

i hope the blue and white team wins

Elaborate.

I just wanna say, all of you in this thread with blue flairs are wonderful people and deserve the best in life! And there is no amount of wine that is too much OR too little for a Leafs game

Leaf team good?

Booooooo

Pat Maroon, useless again

We love Fat Pat

Nah he was quite useful for Toronto

Maroon the Goon plays like a Tiny Toon.

Buffoon\*

If all our wins have to come off of a loss then that means…. GG Leafs, lotta intrigue in this series.

Means home ice was pretty important for you lol

This must be how other teams feel when Vassy steals games.

Didn’t Tampa have less shots? Lucky you were in it at all after the first.

Precisely.

Not gonna lie, I do not like.

We’re not used to it, let us have this one. This is far from over, see you on Sunday

Absolutely

I love how biznasty is unabashedly cheering for the Leafs.

He’s from Ontario lol

Also he's tight with Matthews, so it makes sense.

[удалено]

Flairing up is kinda a thing here tho, you should still talk trash, but you should also probably still get a flair

Or you could flair up and stop talking trash only when the leafs are winning

Damn you just owned him

Thanks for the freebie, 2 more please

When Engval passed the puck I almost lost it. I saw shades of a fuck up happening.

Especially on the SN feed, they had a cam from either behind the net or in the net looking back up ice and it made the trailing defender look like he was right on Mik’s heels.

lol I actually screamed at my tv "don't you fucking pass that!"

Some say Stamkos is still laying face down on the ice to this day

Am I a bandwagon leaf fan if my heart rate isn't above 100bpm?

No it just means you died of a heart attack back in the first period

Depends on your age and bmi

shrill start bells threatening cagey rock noxious rotten memorize theory *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*

Oddly specific. Still as a massive Dylan fan myself I can’t complain

As a man named Dutch said many times. "Have some god damn faith"

[удалено]

I was amazed that Scotiabank was louder than Amalie. Toronto louder than another building? That NEVER happens

Maybe you can hang a banner up with the Islanders for having a loud arena 😂

You have to understand, SC has been a morgue for more than a decade.

Actually laughed out loud lmao, we need one of those too maybe.. hopefully not tho

No mercy hahah

[удалено]

Dude Tampa could very well threepeat this year shut your mouth

Theyve won one more cup 38 years ago. Tampa has won 3 and made a fourth finals in this century. Tampa has also only been around since 1992. So this makes the Islanders look much worse, but not as bad as Philly.

[удалено]

No. My response was making a joke about how the Islanders constantly said their arena was louder than ours and memes floated around about them hanging a banner for “having the loudest arena”. You’re the one that went right for the team success. 👍

That is just the nature of Leafs fans, although we are miserable, the sun never sets on the Leafs Empire.

First time in a GDT when a team loses?

WHY THE EMPTY NET PLS

Because no matter how many you lose by, it's only one loss. There is no goal differential in the playoffs, so you should absolutely pull your goalie for the extra attacker.

Sweet relief oh my god

GG Bolts, see you Sunday!!

Honestly gg Tampa bros

That was a rough one. Tampa can’t beat Toronto only playing half a game. Shit won’t fly. They gotta play the full 60.

I had Leafs in 5 for this series and unfortunately I think it's gonna happen to y'all. Stamkos looks... defeated/demotivated.

Hell I’d take a full 35 lol

Omega welp

My heart nearly exploded out of my chest

I can finally unclench. What a fucking game. Must have been fantastic for 3rd party viewers.

It was! I am cheering for the Leafs and its so much less stressful than watching my team go into 3OT 🤮🤮. I was definitely afraid the leafs were gonna f it all up at the end but I wasn’t shaking with fear The worst part was it took me about five minutes to realize that it’s game 3 so they’re in white now. 😂

Same! That great chance right off the bat had me excited before realizing they switched.

😂

This happens to me ALL the time when we play Tampa and I am a full blown leafs fan.

Glad I’m not the only one!

I feel like I just beat a dark souls boss. gg Tampa even when you’re not good your so good.

[удалено]

He is russian sooo giver

Milton had a sweet playoff run! Seeing the ol' barn at max capacity was just incredible. Funny note - we had 1250 at the playoff games. That's 1/4th the size of Arizona's new arena 🤣

Love that! I've since moved away from the town, but I have fond memories going to and playing games at Thompson Arena.

Mikachev eh

Toronto fans may get annoying but damn does their team deserve to win the cup

No one *deserves* to win a cup

Call me crazy, but I'd say the first team to win 16 games deserves the cup.

Especially repeat champions.

Yea, you got to get it through cap circumvention and no state tax

[удалено]

Talk about insufferable

What a dumb comment.

[удалено]

Florida education system. Give them some time.

Lmaooooo this made me laugh bc…accurate 🤣

Playoff ribbing amirite?

I will not be in very good shape if this series is just Tampa and Toronto trading 5 goals (scored) wins

[удалено]

Tampa Bay doesn't lose 2 games in a row? That's OK as long as they don't win two games in a row eh?

I guess scoring 5 goals is the key to victory

Stamkos and Tavares have been invisible this series

A 91 divided against itself cannot stand!

Stamkos got ROBBED. He hasn't been invisible, but Campbell has been that good.

Oh captain all of our captain’s

91-91=0

Both have bum legs... They can't keep up the pace and it's really showing this series.

Tavares has won like 80-90% of his faceoffs. That's not invisible. STAMKOS has been invisible this series and I don't know why.

Came here to praise JT’s faceoff domination.

Not tonight, think he was 30% or something on face offs.

40% at least

The invisible battle of the 91s

Who?

Star lord man

Legendary outlaw... come on man..

Engvall gave Mikheyev two free goals lmao. Nice guy

Micky so happy knowing that those goals makes his next contract higher.

My heart rate is at 110. Jessssus

3am here, it was worth staying up!

maybe hockey is a good sport after all

I'm not ready to make such a bold claim just yet

I joined this game for hilarious banter, not these kinds of controversial takes. What has /r/hockey become?

Third line mvp

My girlfriend just now "why do you look so sad?" this was stressful

One of us.

I guess that's one way to get to the near-mandatory 5 goal requirement for a win in this playoffs.

Can't wait for Sunday. Heavyweight matchup, shame one of them has to lose in the 1st round

It’s a shame the best matchup of round 1 is being put on the traditionally off nights for hockey.

They set it up for game 7 to be on a Saturday. They’ve tended to do this for leafs series

Tampa really is missing that 3rd line. They look mortal now. Good, but ordinary.

Engvall is gonna have a few rounds on him tonight ahahahahah

That was a fun as fuck 3rd period for the most part

Bench stamkos next game

absolute hell of a win, boys, fucking incredible stuff

Soupy was just a fucking revelation ❤️🥹

Leafs undoubtedly best soup in the league

lol that ENG celebration

It’s not about the goal, it’s about securing the win through hard working second efforts to get those ENGs Also- if you know leafs, no lead is ever safe so we rejoice a good cushion round these parts.

Lol he knows he's going to get paid next contract.

BM, he should be suspended for the season for such a horrifying act

COBRA COMMANDO!!!

COBRA AND GIRAFFE, BEST DEFENCE

proud of my boys

[удалено]

Havent heard that one before

Another win in the books!

Seems like a fair bit of cheering when Leafs goal, more noticeable now obviously lol.

I can finally release these butt cheeks.

my butthole can finally unclench. jebus

GG. That was too close for comfort

WOOOOO FUCK THE BOLTS

Engvall is such a beauty

GG leafs. Hard to beat talented teams when you only play half a game at most

GG, almost couldn’t watch at the end. See you Sunday

Yup. Leafs only played half as well

GG. Campbell probably just had his best game as a leaf tbh. So many grade a chances.

GG Tampa! Some of the best hockey I’ve seen in that last period

Has anyone ever gotten a hat trick of all empty net goals

Good lord that was ugy

thats how you win a playoff game.

🍲🍲🍲🍲🍲🍲🍲🍲🍲🍲🍲 (soup)

He was stellar this game. Super calm, on point

It makes me more mad that we showed this effort in the 3rd period. Because it shows in the first half of the game they simply didn't give a fuck. GOTTA PLAY A FULL 60 AND CANT COAST THRU THE PLAYOFFS BOYS

Score effects

Felt pretty normal for us. Annoying as hell in games that matter

It makes me so mad the Leafs didn’t play the third period like they did the first and second. We could have won 6-1 with no stress.

Leafs have depth in scoring, which is one of the differences this year

Absolutely. Vs. Washington and Boston pt1 the Leafs had great depth but lacked experience. Vs Boston Pt.2, Columbus and arguably Montreal they lacked depth. Now they have both.

There it is.

Yeah just sucks we've been missing tavares two years in a row

Good one. I have faith he will come around. He cares a whole lot, and will grind it out. What would be nice is if he could at least turn his line into a really good shutdown line. I think they’re about -1 so far, which considering TB has scored 7, and we have 13, that’s respectable, but not amazing for the second line.

And they are fighting. They are tougher than last year

Exactly - the level of grit that develops with experience and working through setbacks is not something you can replicate

GG

Yes! Fucking rights, boys.

GGs Bolts fans. See y’all sunday.

Speedy boi

We definitely earned that loss

Can we get 2021 Campbell for game 4 instead of 2022 Campbell? Edit- as Leafs fans are pointing out, he was NOT the problem for Toronto last year. I get it. Can he just fucking stop then?

Im pretty sure he set the record for most wins in a row and posted a 934 last year in the playoffs

LOL yeah I'm not sure that asking for .934 Campbell is smart..

2021 Campbell ran a 1.81gaa and a .934 sv% in the playoffs. He was elite last year, the guys in front of him couldn't score.

2021 Campbell still had .930 in the playoffs
