Leafs best players being their best players ...

[Zanzibar Buck-Buck McFate]

Not really any clear choices so I'll go with ROR winning lots of faceoffs down the stretch.

ROR
Rielly got them on the board first

[Guilt Trip]

McCabe
Rielly

[Significantly Insignificant]

Rielly
Knies

[louisstamos]

Not a lot of players were bad, but no one really stood out.  I'll go Rielly, HM: Matthews.  At least they scored.

Sammy
HM Matthews

Hurts to not give the OT/series winner a vote but Matthews was dominant

[Guilt Trip]

Matthews
Brodie

This...there are many choices. Sammy was amazing but Matthews was a beast all night in all zones. Brodie was incredible tonight.
