Man that play was something to behold. Soon as he absorbed that hit, he knew where he was going to shoot that puck. Hell of a play start to finish. He's having a really good game

He's giving me we should keep him around vibes.


But other than that f- that game. I was there, so you all can blame me as bad luck. I usually am when I attend Amalie playoff games.

So is @Sklikly whenever he watches haha. Man that game stings. Out played them the entire game. Played really well in all 3 zones. Credit to Toronto for hanging around and getting it done. Let's get it back even Monday boys

@Rangsey I was waiting to say debatable, but my god that shot was a laser. How he was able to thread that needle and find the top corner was nasty. Definitely his best game after that.

He's been everywhere. Him, Cirelli and Hagel have been the best line on the ice all night.

100%. So glad Coop decided to put Hags with them and make it the shut down line. It's worked really well so far

They've scored more goals than any other line 5 on 5 😋

Haven't seen the Bolts sit back that much in a third period in awhile.

It ought to be 2-2. The way they defended in the third last night you can't say the Bolts deserved to win that game.

They had game 3 sewn up but the leafs just dug deeper and found a way. Realistically that's a game you should have. Last night, you are absolutely correct, horrendous 3rd period. But again, that's a game we "should" have had. I mean being up 4-1 into the 3rd and completely dominating for 40 minutes? It's inexcusable they let that game slip away. But we don't live in a world of what ifs

It would be 3-1 if they played the right way. We're the better team, but youth, inexperience, coaching, or whatever it may be (combo of it all) has led to us blowing two games.

Just to cheer you guys up, leafs blew a 3-1 series lead 2 years ago. So it’s possible the bolts can still win. But very unlikely. Go leafs go!

Give that Montreal team credit, they had heart. They'd probably beat us right now.
