[@Firearcher4]

Tavares takes a lot of guff but he has scored some clutch plays in the playoffs. HE made that play. Knies was smart and executed. Joseph Woll is the superstar of the game. Leafs deserved to win this. they were the better team. Either team could have won. Boston came close. Woll held the fort.

[@justinberber9848]

Tavares is slow and overpaid BUT, he's a gamer. He competes hard and shows up no matter what.

[@kylehubick6589]

I was so happy to see the captain make a hard pushed play. Exactly what this team needs right now

[@johnnyspineto79]

To be honest, never thought the Leafs would perform the way they did. Their execution was great, and the control of the game, was just something i did not think they had in them. Heh, I'm rooting for them this year, even though I am a Habs fan. Want the cup to come back to Canada. Would love to see a showdown between the Leafs and the Oilers. I don't think Betman will be too happy, but then who cares, we want the cup here in Canada.

[@CB0915]

The puck luckily bounced off 2 skates and accidentally landed on Knies tape lol

[@Firearcher4]

@@CB0915 Yep. This series has pretty much been a series of lucky bounces. The teams are equal. I give the edge to Boston in goal. FYI I am a Leafs fan. Game 7 starts in an hour and whoever wins it will probably score off some fluke bounce. I figure it will be low scoring and close; only a 1-2 goal variance. A game hard on the nerves. If Toronto happens to win I will not chirp the Bruins. Boston is a great team, win or lose. The Leafs have proved they too have heart. Unfortunately they cannot both win but the fan base of the loser is likely to lose their marbles. I hope they don't.

[@8JFJK8]
