Cronic Migraines truly are Hell. I deal with them. On daily meditation for them. The fact of how much ppl joke about them or call it BS is truly Irritating

[@user-oi3jz6fv8p]

No one truly knows another person's pain. Anyone who minimizes another person's pain is not worth wasting a nanosecond on.

[@woody3590]

GO AWAY YOUR GIVING ME A MIGRAIN

[@newtron1]

PP has been brutal. Just imagine if they scored at a 25% rate.

[@jlaw888]

They’re saving it for game 7 😭😭

[@plushie946]

They're getting the calls too. The calls definitely favoured them in this game at least, earlier in the series it was a bit more iffy but every game they're getting something

[@chuckweber542]

Props to the leafs for battling and getting back in the series.

[@jesseburke3990]

Domi was good on faceoffs won his first 10 lol

[@Y_bel]

Tonight’s hero and best player was Joseph Woll = “The Great Woll of Spadina”

[@woody3590]

THE GREAT SIEVE OF SPADINA

[@Mike-vx3ld3il7w]

The ref clotheslining Marchand was great

[@Stilloffside]

Re: Matthews. An insider told me that it’s a bad stomach bug that led to vertigo potentially due to dehydration.

[@scottjakob2394]

I had similar and was down for almost a month. That was 10 years ago and I remember wanting to die.

[@davemakarchuk5127]

Over my 56 years I've had my fair share of ankle and knee sprains, deep bruising, pulled muscles and other stuff from playing sports. Also had bouts of the flu with typical symptoms, sometimes doozies. Dealt with sciatica...that was a bad one...and years of lower back pain, ranging from minor nuisance pain to not being able to straighten up for a couple days. Worst pain I ever had, by far, was from a f'n stomach bug. The pain hit in waves. At its worst, it put me in a fetal position for about a minute or two at a time. Lasted for about three days. No vertigo though.

[@Gotcha74]

It's called covid

[@otokodate83]

Boys this was the game in Rocky 4 where the russian looks at his trainer and says, "Hes not a man...hes a piece of iron." This was the comeback boys LEAFS IN SEVEN

[@pjmmaloney4458]

88 is going to bust loose for Toronto. May spell major trouble for Boston.

[@carolynmaxwell-hc4co]

My big fear, is they win the series against Boston....and next year we are right back to the same team with no big changes.

[@eatingsnowman]

Domi thriving any chance he gets to be "that guy" and step up for the team

[@Adamyyz939]

“A spare in bowling” - best analogy ever

[@mikeburgoyne9133]

Nice game. Especially the first period. We still have hope.

[@clancymcnamara4773]

you boyz are killing it

[@marlinadioguardi3202]

Sammy you are 100% right on that there is nothing like an overtime goal in ALL OF SPORTS. Nothing like hockey. Go Leafs Go

[@domithor]

Great show tonight. Good job

[@THIS---GUY]

Boston played awfully and still took it to OT. Gotta absolutely bury them when they give a freebie like that. A lot of the same priblems are glaring. Nice to see PP adjust and use a 1-3-1 and Domi faceoff ace performance but hard to really get excited because the gap in consistency is so large

[@davidm469]

Nah it's the leafs PP that's costing them the series

[@nicholasvonbloedau4037]

At 12:14, JD Bunkis says: "No Maple Leaf in the series has more than 1 goal, which I think is kind of indicative of how they've done in the series, so far..." This is false- their rookie, Matthew Knies, is now leading the team (in that department) with 2 goals; as, you may recall, he scored the first goal of Game 3 and, of course, the final/Game-Winning goal of Game 5!

[@ahmedgardezi6979]

Character win! There wasn't much available both ways but timely saves, and a big time play by JT! The great Woll!

[@jakedunn5827]

I hope Matthew’s play next game. The team will always be better with him. They just had a fire under their ass tonight to win. Would’ve had the same fire with I’m there.

[@thebige4939]

Mitch Marner? What are you smoking? Guy had a wide open chance to shoot in the slot and passed it off. Woll all the way

[@Blake-jz5bh]

Domi had a breakaway didn't shoot wasn't just mitch but yeah mitch should've shot that

[@thomascampbell4557]

Now that was a much better effort

[@joevulakovich9878]

See you guys Saturday after the win 😊

[@adamstavert2322]

Awesome show guys !

[@derekjohnsimpson1365]

Great pod boys!

[@autumnroy]

The Marchand talk starting at 35:35 is so funny

[@DrSnowBrainHealth]

Leafs played their best game of this playoffs!

[@brendanroe8604]

Knies has been our most consistent player over 5 games for me, he deserved to bang that one in forsure

[@paulamcguinness554]

Game of all games!°° 🎉😂❤

[@GB-ob5zx]

27:21 smart move to have a good handling goalie. Good rebuttal JD

[@SJSsesco]

A win without Papi💪🙏

[@gerriewretham-roos]

Seriously, go back and watch what you all were saying between the last game and this one. Are you not embarrassed to show your faces today? You’re all so freaking obsessed that you can’t see straight!! Hockey is a sport, watching sport is entertainment and that game was so freaking entertaining, everyone wins! It doesn’t really matter if we lose and lose, that’s sport, the best team usually wins and that’s okay! You all giving The coach of the Leafs so much heat from everyone, watch and learn, with his job on the line, he could have thrown everyone under the bus, but he stays calm, professional and stays focused. You media people are a disgrace, you got no scruple’s and you panicked and shot your lot, or am I wrong? The players now know that no matter what they do, he stands by them, even with his nuts on the chopper that’s how you keep the room. Respect to this quite spoken, respectful man, respect! And getting rid of Marner, the guys gold! Such a hero off the ice all he does for sick kids and stuff. Imagine if he doesn’t really care about winning the cup, but just likes playing hockey for his home town and providing for his family, is that so bad? We get one life who are any of you’s to say you got to bleed for the cup, it’s a sport and it’s life. Get back to earth, get some perspective in this crazy world!

[@Tommyjet18]

How many mins did Domi play?

[@nitsujecirp6354]

Sorry I’m late…I stopped by the Bruins post game show to see them imploding…what did I miss

[@plushie946]

If Woll has a good mental game, tightens up a few things and practices his stick handling, I genuinely think he could be a safe bet starter for next season regardless of what happens with the rest of the team. He's like 90% of the way there, which is better than Sammy who had a few months of being 99% of the way there, only to regress down to like, 25% at times. The Leafs almost ruined Woll's development when he was in limbo as their secondary but not getting enough starts, so I'm happy to see he's making the most of his increased ice time. The only real hiccup was coming back from injury, which if he continues to play this good I think we can firmly file away in the "it's extremely hard to come back from a leg injury as an NHL goaltender" catagory.

[@roccomaciocia8211]

Reilly just does not fire enough..omg...had like a handful of lookers from the blue line to get it on net...passes it away smfh...we see time again the pucks that get to the net produce GOALS!!!...ffs...i could have easily been 4or 5-1 for buds...btw the team played great tonite...#88 ,#91,#16...and Reilly could have dug in deeper..

[@englishwiththecoopers2368]

Good show.

[@scribbler60]

Well, it's not every day one sees a linesman take down Brad Marchand.

[@Chriscam2you]

Joseph Woll was the X factor, had he played in a couple of the first four games this would be a different series completely. Burt and Domi are caring the offence, Marner had a good game too, the defence is holding its own pretty well I would say.

[@dagger4442]

Nah Woll did his job but leafs d were the real story...Bruins had hardly any shots for first half of game. Leafs d kept them to the outside. Bruins 1st goal was a stinker...Woll was slow and did not move but given he had hardly any shots in 1st its very diificult on any goalie to stay warmed up. I hated the goal though but leafs stayed with it and did not fall apart from it. Woll made 2 good saves but really he was not tested much in game. Did his job though. I would like to see the leafs shoot low for a rebound more man. A team struggling to score goals like they are should know that . Any coach would be saying that so I'm curious about that. Crashing the net like Tavares did is they way they have to play to beat the bruins. I would like to see Matthews do that..I think he would be tough to knock off the puck.....just like Mario!!!

[@cc-ij7cr]

Marner shows up in a game with the least amount of pressure

[@steverobinson8771]

Colorado v Florida final .... bring it on 😎😎😎

[@paulvautour7812]

When the goalie makes a big save ,the team responds and goes to the other end ,and scores..... problem with the Leafs, many times, the goalie makes a big save, can't get the puck out, and eventually scores anyways. Nice to see it go the other way

[@gregthomson7889]

I think Mathews got hurt on the no call behind the net.

[@johnshields6852]

Everytime a goalie handles the puck it's, oh oh.

[@tonybozzelli287]

Leafs shoot the puck right at Swaymans crest ... far too much. Making life easy for him.

[@szahmad2416]

No, Bourne, those "not pretty" goals were EXACTLY the goals that the Leafs should have been aiming for against a goalie like Sweyman. You'll never get this guy out of position on a clean look in open ice. Mad scrambles, deflections, rebounds...DRIVING THE NET - THAT'S how you'll get any goals against him. You need to get him down making a save before elevating it over him. That means changing the goal scorers from Nylander, Matthews and Marner to Domi, Bertuzzi, Tavares, Knies and Reeves, while letting your "top" scorers control traffic from the point. THAT'S how the powerplay should have been run...and by extension, their entire offense. Leafs are still making stupid mistakes...and above all, NOT FORECHECKING. They're still trying to make those stupid stretch passes which Sweyman is in perfect position to stop, even when Boston occasionally loses track defensively.

[@landon4351]

Lubushkin made the ot pass

[@lafawnduhhhh]

Commenting because JD asked me to

[@OTnuthail-wo4ot]

The change the Leafs need is the coach! Not the players

[@cortlandlaidlaw3888]

These guys

[@markhewgill6481]

The parade is back on.

[@jesseburke3990]

Lol if they go on next round and don't score more then 2 a game meens woll is doing it

[@jckeddy]

PP is prime opportunity to go pp or get a beer.

[@jackkolo7454]

youre missing putting nylander with matthews. nylander is the waterbug.

[@jackkolo7454]

maybe the worst leafs podcast ever. you don't know any of the players

[@RoyEGomez]

Referees were a little sporadic tonight made some bad calls on both sides

[@chrisg1556]

Not done yet. With goaltending like that, you always gotta chance to win.

[@rodneybosak5127]

The problem with the Leafs powerplay: 1) JT losing the puck when it's on his stick too many times. 2) Always trying to set-up Matthews to snipe goals, too predictable. 3) Not looking for the bank pass or slap pass from the side / back door.

[@wbj2000]

Playoff hockey and regular season hockey are very different animals in how its played. Soft floater type players don't do well in the playoffs. The Leafs are FAR better without Matthews in physically tight games we see in the playoffs. The Leafs had compete with Domi centering the first line.

[@joestrunk9663]

no it wasn't mitch Woll Max JT bert d-men

[@SillySongs4Everyone2001]

Leafs rule the world

[@OTnuthail-wo4ot]

At lets stop playing Nylander with Tavares

[@skyblue2636]

Oilers are the best team to watch, and it's not even close

[@samuelmee1386]

i get migraines . parts of my body go numb, all i see is curving light; my head hurts and my words get mixed up to the point that i sound like Sammy. lol. but ya friggin migraines. i hate them.

[@user-cw4ph5se6p]

it is how to play against Marchand put a glove in the face i l like it very much

[@user-rx7dj7fm3l]

Usually I agree with most of your points of view JD but you were COMPLETELY WRONG when you thought Matthews should play the last game of the season to go for 70. It's extremely likely, the effort put forth accumulated to contribute to his current injury. In fact, if reports are true that he has concussion-like symptoms. It likely started when he fell & hit his head into the boards against Detroit when he almost got his 70th. After that fall, doctors should have shut him down for at least a week! I know, I had to quit professional sports at the age of 29 bec of this!

[@Michael-tn9wp]

Bunkis is bipolar when it comes to the Leafs - if they win, he's overjoyed, if they lose, he thinks it's time to blow it up - you're in the media, be objective.

[@jlaw888]

Shows he’s more of a fan like us. I sometimes like that emotion compared to a robot

[@purpleicecube]

What makes JD so enjoyable to listen to is that he’s basically just a fan with a platform. That’s why Sam’s starting to blow up too. For the objective takes, that’s what the insiders and experts are for. Leafs Talk is awesome for fans who wanna feel like they’re talking to their friend about the game.

[@morris1345]

I almost closed KZbin when Sammy said "I would rather hear Matthews is out Thursday than have to speculate on his injury for the next 2 days." Be creative, expand beyond the standard talking points, and find another topic topic to zoom in on and discuss. That is everything that is wrong with having a time slot to fill and a lack of preparation. You've had the same discussion 15 different times with no additional information added and its starting to feel like Groundhog Day. Unless you have new info to provide the fanbase, there is no value added in repeating yourselves over and over again. And shoutout to JB for his "I've been saying the Bruins are a fraud, they're not very good." It is those genuinely braindead and tone-deaf takes that humiliate us Leafs fans and give teams and fanbases bulletin board material and ammo.

[@oldman8952]

"Came out with jump right away." Marner led team vs Matthews lead team. The TO media has been claiming for years that Matthews is the team leader, well now we know what they look like in the playoffs when Marner has that role. Bad luck was the only reason they didn't win 1-0 in regulation. The Boston crowd seemed to be not as loud. You mean when the Bruins were giving up twelve shots and only getting 2. Yea, when your team has a reputation for choking that will happen. Marner needs to play with players who can create space for him, as the space disappears Marner's impact gets smaller. Matthews can't or won't create space. Domi and Bertuzzi can and did. Utah? You clearly don't understand what a no movement clause is. If Marner leaves, he will be picking his team, it will be a contender and they will have a deal in place for him to sign the second the trade is made. Nylander played Pastrnak head to head for a lot of the night and Pastrnak was a non factor. He had the right to expect his teammates to win it for him, he did his part.

[@stevelouis4664]

Wheres the invisible man front page for Willie? He has 0 points in 2 games. Apparently its warrented around here. Bullies

[@Michael-pg7rv]

Marchand diving when they ref grabbed him is so embarrassing for the NHL and the sport of hockey.

[@HandShakeLineRespect]

JD needs to put his Dubas glasses back on. Marner was better, but he was not the “story” of tonight. Woll was clearly the factor in tonight’s win. He went toe to toe wth Swayman and made huge saves to get us the win.

[@koshka02]

lol why is JD being destroyed in the chat

[@user-pn1hh5et9k]

team is better without Matthews

[@sherwood5030left6]

Panthers will defeat Bruins in 5 and Leafs in 4.Bruins will win game six by 3 goals.

[@toosickk2808]

Bunkis is trying to act like Matthews doesn’t want to play or something??? That doctor/ matthews comment was absolutely brainless. Obviously the kid has something serious going on or he would be playing dude. Get a grip

[@stevelouis4664]

Sammy said he wasnt a leaf fan anymore last game lmfao. Funny how 1 day changes everything.

[@Gotcha74]

Marner sucked tonight wtf are you guys talking about

[@dsm1984]

Boston is not really very good.

[@nightviolet]

don't be sycophants. this team is bad. i want better for toronto. we should be angry that 3rd and 4th liners are playing great hockey while the GOLDEN 4 are calling it in. i'm annoyed you guys are now back onside. we need a clean slate and you guys are just feeding back into the same old same old.

[@rob9124]

Thank God for Justin Bourne….Marner the best player tonight??? Horrible take by the boys

[@rob9124]

Domi was the obvious catalyst on that line. And Woll made 4-5 huge saves. Marner was no better than a 3rd liner..but at least he looked slightly better than game 4

[@adamsharp-1]

Boston played like absolute arse.

[@OTnuthail-wo4ot]

If you are going to put Nylander on the 3rd line at least have the intelligence to play him at center

[@RoyEGomez]

The Leafs looked great the Bruins look like s***

[@RoyEGomez]

Both goalies were outstanding

[@Bink1221]

Dear Sportsnet. Jeff Marek and his show suck! Stop taking away Kyper and Bournes hours.

[@dantebrionesclarke3874]

Jd bunkis has terrible takes tbh

[@pjmmaloney4458]

I think he’s a great broadcaster, takes and all
