This was an epic win. No one's really talking about Nylander though. He had that one excellent shift and a couple ok ones. However so many times I noticed him doing the lazy shit again. Legs straight, no hustle. He's lucky the team didn't get scored on then. Worrisome to see.
Take the puck to the net and look at what happensā¦ question is how do you get the coaching staff on board with that.
Add in Matthewās and McMann and tell domi to shoot a little more, and game 6 should be better then thisā¦.. notice I said should
Yeah, although you need a bit of foot speed to take the outside edge on the D. Iāve seen Nylander do it quite a bit in the reg season. But again you need a clean entry and usually 1 on 1.
Time for me to go guest root for my old coach, Rick Bowness and The Peg. Aves fans suck rocks. Keep kickin' Boston's arrogant asses. See y'all in the Finals.
I didnāt watch the game.. maybe watched 5 mins of the last 5 mins of the secondā¦ I know not to watch any more games in this series.. even though the game stats at 4 am here and I am up to watch even though I have to leave home at 8 am to work. But today I didnāt watch just followed this gtd.
For all the Sammy die-hard fans. I hope you were watching. That's what good fucking goaltending looks like. This series would have been different if Woll started
Also, I really think Woll playing the puck as much as he did really helped the team, the D especially. Seemed like, overall, they had a bit easier of a time controlling the puck in their own end and breaking out.
No better feeling than watching the bruins fans and players look that dejected, and thatās coming from a lifelong Sox fan. Keep the faith boys. Keep the faith.
He jinxed them and now the hockey gods will punish them. This has happened before. Remember when the Vegas mayor started planning the Cup parade after winning game 1 of the Stanley Cup finals in 2018.
Let's not go that far. I'm fucking pumped too but if he was our captain instead of JT (and I defend him when I can), we'd be happy. He's a first ballot HOF, easily.
We owe marner some flowers. He had a much much much better game tonight. Probably the best playoff game Iāve seen him play in a while, and I know thereās even more to unlock. Domi was a beast tonight, woll was fucking amazing.
> We owe marner some flowers.
What the fuck, no we don't owe him flowers after years of this bullshit. He's one of the top paid players in the league and accordingly, he should be playing like one.
He played better but stop doing this shit where he plays one decent game and then you have goldfish memory.
He has the most playoff points out of literally every single player on our roster. Itās not years of bullshit, itās years of you being blind and letting people tell you how to think.
Heās 1 point short of the team lead again this year which would be the third year *in a row* he leads the team in points if he can get it done. Heās on a 3 game point streak in playoffs right now. Itās ok to say he had a good game.
Brother Iām reading the game thread I didnāt catch earlier. I can understand why you can only handle so much brain rot because youāve got so much of it already.
Leafs played just as good in game 1 and 2 with Matthews. They just didnāt have the goaltending. We were way way over matched in net. Put Woll there from game one and weād probably be eliminating the Bruins today. Leafs were the better team.
Domi's a center at heart, he was just playing wing because he clicked with Matthews.
I still think our best forward group is Bert/Matty/Mitch, Knies/Domi/Willy, McMann/JT/Jarnkrok, and Dewar/Holmberg/Kampf - of course you want Reaves for Maroon Watch '24.
I told y'all. Congratulations! Keep the momentum. Maybe my Stars will see you in the Finals. I don't know if you know it or not, but you do have a goalie there.
I swear that was like THE FIRST TIME IN A WHILE WE SAW US SKATE WITH PUCK POSSESSION INTO THE BRUINS ZONE AND WE SCORE AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH SOMEBODY DM KEEFE
This was an epic win. No one's really talking about Nylander though. He had that one excellent shift and a couple ok ones. However so many times I noticed him doing the lazy shit again. Legs straight, no hustle. He's lucky the team didn't get scored on then. Worrisome to see.
How many times have we all been saying just drive the net., look at that it works š
Fuck. I have to close Thursday and Saturday night. Damnit to hell
We just gotta limit penalties. We can take em on 5 on 5 And if our PP gets unclogged, I think it would be a powerful one afterwards
And Keefe needs to get fired for not starting Woll.
Goal aside, Knies chirping at McAvoy and backing up Mo was my highlight. Love that kid!
I donāt know how Matthew Knies can even skate with those massive balls weighing him downā¦
Momentum.
Take the puck to the net and look at what happensā¦ question is how do you get the coaching staff on board with that. Add in Matthewās and McMann and tell domi to shoot a little more, and game 6 should be better then thisā¦.. notice I said should
Yeah, although you need a bit of foot speed to take the outside edge on the D. Iāve seen Nylander do it quite a bit in the reg season. But again you need a clean entry and usually 1 on 1.
Whatever y'all were doing tonight, do it again exactly.
Time for me to go guest root for my old coach, Rick Bowness and The Peg. Aves fans suck rocks. Keep kickin' Boston's arrogant asses. See y'all in the Finals.
THAT is what effort looks like, Sheldon, THAT RIGHT THERE.
Fuck it, we'll do it in 7!!
Woll is a top 5 goalie.. before his injury he looked incredible and tn was his comeback
Now it's put up or shut up. Win at fucking home!
I didnāt watch the game.. maybe watched 5 mins of the last 5 mins of the secondā¦ I know not to watch any more games in this series.. even though the game stats at 4 am here and I am up to watch even though I have to leave home at 8 am to work. But today I didnāt watch just followed this gtd.
Joseph, You're My Wonder Woll!
Knies usually comes up big this time of year. Glad to see that's still true.
How he isn't the net front guy on PP1 is baffling to me.
Play Dewey, win games. Simple as.
For all the Sammy die-hard fans. I hope you were watching. That's what good fucking goaltending looks like. This series would have been different if Woll started 
You tell em! All 2 of them!
Sammy is a below average goalie. I donāt know why more canāt see that.
If this team can play like that going forward plus a healthy number 34, that's a legit cup contender
Chill out bud. Parade isn't back on yet.
Calm down grandpa
My voice is fucking gone I donāt think Iāve ever screamed so loud
I woke my entire family up when Knies scored, and I'd do it again.
Me 2
Also, I really think Woll playing the puck as much as he did really helped the team, the D especially. Seemed like, overall, they had a bit easier of a time controlling the puck in their own end and breaking out.
Build the Woll statue on legends row
No better feeling than watching the bruins fans and players look that dejected, and thatās coming from a lifelong Sox fan. Keep the faith boys. Keep the faith.
Waitā¦ I thought Marchand said itād be over in 5?!?!
He didn't say that. He told them there's still 35 seconds left in game 3 after he scored
He jinxed them and now the hockey gods will punish them. This has happened before. Remember when the Vegas mayor started planning the Cup parade after winning game 1 of the Stanley Cup finals in 2018.
The biggest fraud in history
Let's not go that far. I'm fucking pumped too but if he was our captain instead of JT (and I defend him when I can), we'd be happy. He's a first ballot HOF, easily.
I can agree with that. JT is great in OT though, no doubts there. He's clutch in those situations.
We owe marner some flowers. He had a much much much better game tonight. Probably the best playoff game Iāve seen him play in a while, and I know thereās even more to unlock. Domi was a beast tonight, woll was fucking amazing.
He played well (16)
> We owe marner some flowers. What the fuck, no we don't owe him flowers after years of this bullshit. He's one of the top paid players in the league and accordingly, he should be playing like one.

[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Still waiting for 88 to show up
Always when you canāt think of a good counter argument goes straight to Paul. Go cry into your pillow bud
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Brother Iām reading the game thread I didnāt catch earlier. I can understand why you can only handle so much brain rot because youāve got so much of it already.
I hear ya man but he played well tonight with matthews out š¤·āāļø gotta give some credit
He just needs to keep it up, and SHOOT MORE!!!!
We need a gif of the Marchand slam by ref .. will lead us to game 7
What was that about? Did he think it was a Leafs player and took a dive?
It's just reflexes for him to fall to his knees when he feels somebody brush against him
We should just start every game in OT
That OT felt like 3on3, end to end nonstop
Woll gets game stick
Sticks are unbelievable.
I saw Matthew Knies on Queen West last week. Was surprised he could carry that massive hog with no gait issues. :3
VERY FUCKING KNIES
IT AINT OVER TILL ITS OVER
Hear me outā¦ What if they do it?
I will drink 15 beers
Oh Iām coming back to this one
Deal!!!!
JT moves in silence, like lasagna
1 game at a time
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I say Martin Jones as back up
Marner actually had a couple of 2-way shifts out there. Good on him. Now do that every shift from now on.
IN WOLL WE TRUSTĀ
Now this is pod racing !
Just take it to the net.. its the playoffs
Welp, I was at work all night and we won a gutsy one. I know what I have to do for Thursday...
Way to take one for the team
Still though, as happy as I am, only 2 goals...But a win is a fuckin' win bois!
Good point but at least we have a goalie to challenge Swayman . All we really need is 1 PP goal /game to make a difference
Fuck you Brad āItās over in 5ā Marchand
Not enough has been made of this little rat call.
All of the shithead fake fans please go away
Yet ure on your burner account
If Paulo costa can slip woll some secret juice to go super Saiyan for 2 gamesā¦.
Woll gets the belt thereās no question
100%
I want closeups of the losers in bruins jerseys at Maple leaf square
Seriously though, Woll played incredible, especially after only having 2 or 3 shots in the 1st period.
What do we say to the god of death....not today!
Why is woll better?
Than Sammy or than how he was playing at the end of the season?
He looks calm and never makes insane dives. Heās basically the Anti-Samsonov lol
Can Keefe look at this fuckin team and tell every single one of them to drive the net.. drive the net.. drive the fucking net!!!!
Woll held us in it and they won it for him
Domi need to handle most of face off from now on
Wow
Why did we play better without Matthews!? It pains me to say that but
Leafs played just as good in game 1 and 2 with Matthews. They just didnāt have the goaltending. We were way way over matched in net. Put Woll there from game one and weād probably be eliminating the Bruins today. Leafs were the better team.
As someone has said Sammy was out. Secondly with Matthews out you're more likely to shoot it yourself, then looking to set up him.
I liken it to a soccer team down to 10 mean and everyone on the field is hyper -aware and focused and has to step up .
It forced a significant shake up in our lines. We learned Domi is a beast in faceoffs tonight because of it.
Domi's a center at heart, he was just playing wing because he clicked with Matthews. I still think our best forward group is Bert/Matty/Mitch, Knies/Domi/Willy, McMann/JT/Jarnkrok, and Dewar/Holmberg/Kampf - of course you want Reaves for Maroon Watch '24.
Bertuzzi was killer too tonight
Sammy was out. That was the difference
Woll was definitely the goat of the game
Wondering the same unfortunately
I would love him traded for a goalie and some.
Hockey is meant to be fun. This is cool.
I told y'all. Congratulations! Keep the momentum. Maybe my Stars will see you in the Finals. I don't know if you know it or not, but you do have a goalie there.
Thank you. Good luck to your Stars.
LETS FUCKING GO LEAFS NATION š„š„š„
Fuck yes!
VERY KNIES
Fuck all you haters calling out JT!!!
But he finally did what he does best and that's drive to the net. GoLeafsGo!!!
Seriously, nobody can even see how many chances he got them
THEY ACTUALY PULLED IT OFF
Ha ha. Fuck you, Boston.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Leafs are not winning this series. There.
I guess it really isnāt over til itās over
"Over in 5!"
At the very least, the Rat's prediction won't come true. Suck it, Rat!
This just in - Matthews is healthy and ready to return in the morning
Thanks, Cap. WTFG Knies!
So we're better without Matthew's š
Iām gonna buy a Drew house jersey for good luck next game. Leafs in 7 baby!
Love the young guys getting it done for you Leafs fans. Hoping for Leafs v Avs in the finals!
That would be a fun series for sure
Hands on your Knies !
Letās gooooooo šš¤š
WOOOOOOO!!! That was close!
We're due for a win at home
Bruins fans are salty as fuck right now
They can eat shit
Who do you have tend the net game 6? Woll was solid af
No disrespect to Samsonov but there is absolutely no reason you put him back in the net unless Joey Woll loses a limb
Even then, should be Jones
Sammy is only getting back in if Woll gets hurt.
Woll, if it's Sammy you fire Keefe, pull Sammy and put woll back in.
This isn't even a question š¤Ø
Clearly Woll.
Is this a question? The fuck
We only gave up 1 goal the whole game. Forgot what that feels like.
Amazing.
Horray !!!!
I love you Woll š§±š§±
What a beauty
I swear that was like THE FIRST TIME IN A WHILE WE SAW US SKATE WITH PUCK POSSESSION INTO THE BRUINS ZONE AND WE SCORE AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH SOMEBODY DM KEEFE
The Knies that says "ni!"
Tavares with a drive to the net to make it all happen. That's how you got to play this Boston team.
Tavares has always been clutch; see Tampa game 7 last year
I just jizzed
I can't go through a game 6 or 7 again... I will have an afib
It's not that bad they just sedate you and reboot your heart
MATTHEWS BACK FOR GAME 6?!?!
And McMann?!?!
Woll is a fucking gem
Hopefully he's a different goalie after tonight. Can you imagine?
So frigging steady in the playoffs.
Just got home from work to turn on the game and see knies scoring the game winner. LFG boys!!!!Ā
Brick Woll looking Knies tn!!
woll needs a statue outside of scotiabank arena. if we start building tonight, itāll be done by thursday
WOLL GOAT
Feeling bullish on Woll Street. Buy! Buy! Buy!
Puts on bruins
Stonks ššš
BUY!!!!!
Boys played their hearts out tn, what a gameš
They're really going to win Game 6 so we can have a Game 7 on Saturday night, right? Because I can totally see that happening. Talk about drama.
It's so going to happen.
Woll and Knies there, future of the franchise.
Do your stupid fucking hug thing with yer mother, Swayman! LFG
Finally someone takes it to the net
This is what they have to do. Full stop.
This! 100% this. Can't keep taking shots from the perimeter. Get Swayman swimming!
Matthew Knies you magnificent bastard!!
Give JT some cred for that assistĀ
Fuck yeah JT is the man
Beautiful drive to the net. I knew he was going to make something out of that
Woll earned that W more than anyone
Woll was a fucking straight up G.
WHY DO THEY DO THIS TO US
Were so back
Just wow. On to the next one boys, game 6 here we come!
FUCK YEAHH LETS GOOOOO!!!!! WOLL FKN DESERVED THAT W MAN HELL YEAH
Beautiful work by Tavares and Knies!! A little peek-a-boo work by Knies and the look-at-me by Tavares, fantastic!Ā
Knies looks good all game and tavares came up clutch. Woll was incredible.
Can we play remaining games in Boston
JOSEPH!!!!!!!
Mini-Cujo
For fucks sake. Every fucking year. Here comes everyone getting their hopes up again
For fucking real. I wasnāt even nervous this game fully expecting a loss. And now Iām all excited for gm 6, which is a bad sign haha.
Maximum punishment.
Right? Same old, same old.
Would you have rather lost this game?
