Brodie with a careless play with his stick .  The Toronto  vets still make a plethora of mental mistakes.  Gio not noticing Stamkos behind him on TB?s goal is but one example.  Thank heavens Matthews and Marner are playing well.  We need them to combine for a goal in the OT.

Holl has been on the ice for 14 out of the 18 goals in the series.  He took a careless penalty last night.  (In fact the Leafs effectively killed that specific penalty which tempers Keefe?s fascination about using him every PK). He rarely hits nor effectively ties up opposing players in...

What does Keefe see in him especially after he has played so poorly this playoff.It seems that the coaches keep him because of his role killing penalties but they are not actually seeing his entire defensive weaknesses.  Put in Lilly?

Knies generates more chances than most of the leaf forwards.

Brodie is looking overwhelmed and has taken a stupid penalty.  And Reilly looks shaky defensively right now.  But even with Sammi letting in 2 weak goals we are still tied.  The Leafs have to play more in the offensive zone and exploit the Bolts mediocre defencemen to win.  (And the Leafs...

Totally agree.  Has he ever said something that was insightful or relevant to the actual game?

Woll  couldn?t really be faulted for that 3rd goal but it seems he could have covered the puck better.  And Reilly did yet another fly-by and wasn?t in front of the net to cover his man.  How many times can he continue doing this?  (This question is regrettably rhetorical).

What a moment with Borje at the start of the game.  Reportedly Borje was smiling for the first time in a while,  which is totally understandable.  What a terrific thing that he made it to Toronto this weekend. I hope that Darryl Sittler has someone with him tomorrow on the ice.  He was really...

Reilly was particularly struggling in the play leading up to the goal,  and. did a fly by on the forward who scored.  He is really strong yet refuses to get tough in front of the net .

Sandin on the blue line with a fake slap shot and then a quick pass to the side for a good scoring chance.  He seems to be the only Leaf defenceman who can make that play.  Why?

Terrific game by the Leafs.  Possibly their best overall team effort so far.  And it really helps when you have Samsonov playing as one of the best goalies in the NHL right now.

Why is Keefe sticking with Muzzin and Holl?  What game is he seeing that we as fans aren?t?  And what is the point keeping them together into this new season?  Geez?

Reilly a minus 3.

Malgin drew a penalty.  He has had a strong game.

The Leafs deserved to win.  Austin almost got that tip in goal from an excellent set up from Marner. But TB?s 5 on 3 power play may have been the deciding factor.  Why shouldn?t Foote be fined for embellishment?  It may help to underline how many times TB has been getting away with it during...

Totally agree.  Subtle plays like that can be the difference.  Austin has to play like he can and score a goal.

What an exceptional last 10 minutes for the Leafs!  This is now an exciting game.

We need the great AM to take over the tempo of the game. Whenever the Leafs spend an inordinate amount of time in their end bad things happen. And if Reilly was a young defenceman he would be benched for about 15 minutes?

The goaltending was admittedly really bad.  But so many goals  were as a result of the Leafs not effectively tiring up players in front of the net.  Reilly was particularly bad tonight although he has never done this effectively throughout his career Imho.    Marner and Bunting and Matthews were...

And Muzzin and Brodie have also not been stellar.  Campbell?s terrific play before last month covered up a lot of mistakes by the veteran defenceman.
