A win's a win, baby! GLG!!!

Hopefully Stolarz is alright. 

Leafs needed to win Game 1. At least worst case they head down to Sunrise tied 1-1.

Bennett needs to meet a Reaves elbow or fist. Sick of him "accidentally" hurting players and the league does nothing about it.

Literally puking from a head injury is some scary s***. 

In the end they got it done, don't get complacent and let's not have a repeat of that third period.

We need an Amber alert for Auston Matthews.

His goal scoring rate falls off in the playoffs. He's almost invisible in many games.

Leafs have no chance to win a cup with Matthews producing like this. Dude just has to produce more.

It's especially sad when you see other premier players step up in the postseason.

Go Cats!

[G-Snarls]

Oilers suddenly find the goal prevention and are up 3-1 in the series

Nice

He’s just a choker as simple as that. Doesn’t have that killer instinct that the other superstars have. If this was the only time it’s happened it would be one thing but he’s been invisible in big games year after year. For a guy who’s a top 5 player in talent to have 3 goals in his last 21 playoff games is insane.

Stuart Skinner redemption series 

2 consecutive shutouts to defeat the Golden Knights 

[jaysblue]

This core of Matthews/Marner/Nylander has been together for how long? And they haven't even sniffed an Eastern Conference Finals? 

This group is never winning the Stanley Cup.

The Oilers have figured out how to beat teams on the road, which is scary. I thought they were done when they lost their opening 2 games at home against the Kings, they're now 8-1 since.

As for the Leafs, that s*** last night was embarrassing, In game 3 they had 2 goal leads twice and blew it to take a stranglehold on the series, backs against the wall now, they have to win one in their barn.

[Masterbather]

It's getting dark, too dark to see.

Feels like I'm knockin' on heaven's door.

[Masterbather]

Signs of life for Auston Matthews.

Do we dare expect that this will open the floodgates? 

Yeah I don't think so either but at least there's a sliver of hope.

[Spanky99]

Well, Leafs took one in their Barn, lets get it boys tomorrow night. GLG!

[Jonn]

When push comes to shove Florida is just a much better hockey team. Kinda shocked the Panthers let this get to a Game 7. But just another thorough beatdown in every aspect of the game.

[Spanky99]

Embarrassing effort... I caught maybe 10 minutes of good hockey. Disgraceful.

[Masterbather]

There's just no going forward with this group. I don't know exactly where it goes, but this is not a one or two player thing.

Need a lot more offense from the back end, that's part of the problem, a big part actually, and need some more guys in the top six that are heavier on the puck.

They deserve to be the butt end of every joke coming their way.

Skinner 2025 playoffs 

Gives up 5-6 goals 

Or a shutout 

[jaysblue]

Panthers are just too good!

[G-Snarls]

And the re match that hardly anyone probably wanted us happening 

LOL

[G-Snarls]

I'd love to get to a game but the prices are gonna be stupid 

Probably cheaper to fly to Florida and go to a game there

You nuts, once the Panthers eliminated the Leafs, I've been praying for this final.

Can't emphasize enough how big it was to win the first game at home 

HUGE win

McJesus is a boss, those saucer passes were sublime, great game.

[G-Snarls]

Holy s*** these games have been nuts. And mostly great (other than game 3 which was just embarassing)

Series tied. And home ice advantage for Edmonton. Wow.

Aside from game 3, this series is going down as one of the greatest already, sublime watch.

F*cking Leafs could've had the Panthers down 3-0, f*cked that game up bigtime. Also, Leafs gave the Panthers the toughest fight, but they choked it all away. Sad really.
