Great job CtB!

This is it, do or die.

Go Leafs Go!

Go Leafs go.

I'd have subbed Simmonds for ZAR or Lafferty. Somebody needs to tune Perry up. Put him to a stretcher.

I'd have taken Holl out. When I watch the replay on the first goal against Hill could have completely flattened Perry but instead does...Whatever the hell he did, and lets Perry go to the front of the net.

Just win, losers

[Arn]

Well, it can't be worse than game 1

[RedLeaf]

Hopefully the nervousness has subsided and they can get back to structured hockey tonight.

I'm a little worried Marner is playing with a minor injury. He hasn't been the same since around game 77-78. We need him dancing out there.

Go Leafs Go!

Justin Holl better watch who he touches on scoring plays

Edit:
More importantly and of actual value: maybe the Leafs should start the game with a bit of extra vim and vigor to you know, win the puck races and establish their game.

Yeah Marner hasn't seemed himself.  Concerning if he's hurt

[Frank E]

I've got to figure out how I'm going to hold my breath for 60 minutes tonight.

Never see it although I'd love to. Changes to the blue line needed to be made but Keefe loves his favourites. Although we gave up 4 goals on the power play and our PK specialist Holl was on the ice for all of them plus 2 others we throw him back in. The goal by Perry coming out from behind the net and Holl letting him waltz around was unbelievable to watch. Lilly will be lucky to see the ice with this coaching staff. Hopefully a better start and the refs let them play. We drop this one going to be tough to come back.

Big fluff ball. Toughest hockey was right before the trade deadline he was hitting people playing hard and using his size. That ended quickly.

[Zanzibar Buck-Buck McFate]

Well, Boston got tuned last night so I guess there's that.

Think Florida was the better team in game 1 as well.
