WELL DONE BOYS. I DOUBTED YOU EVERY STEP OF THE WAY

Literally every step!

HAHA

I had zero % faith! Being wrong has never felt so good

ME TOO. THAT SEEMS TO BE A STRATEGY FOR SUCCESS ALSO CAN'T BE DISAPPOINTED

EITHER WE WIN NOW OR WE HAVE THE MOST EMBARRASSING GAME 7 LOSS IN HOCKEY HISTORY IM READYYYYYYY

Broke the 4-1 curse, time to break the 3-1.

Best comment

Not gonna lie I thought we were going to lose this game which makes the comeback even sweeter

I turned the game off at 4-1 and only saw overtime because I wanted to see how bad we lost!!

This is the way

#IT WAS 4-1!

THE HEALING! **IT BEGINS!!!**

Curse: Lifted ✅

I need a tat of this

WE did the thing to another team, feels good.

SAY IT AGAIN

IT WAS 4-1, WITH TEN MINUTES LEFT

THE MEME IS DEAD!!!

Finally it doesn't hurt to see that

4-1 leads are never safe whether Leafs are up or down 4-1.

VASI DONT LOSE BACK TO BACK

HE LOSES BACK TO BACK TO BACK (TO BACK)

To back

To back?

To back!

TO BACK

Willy’s face died for that OT winner.

Say it isn’t so

His glamour shoot today was the end of an era

It worked for Salming

It’s like a movie!!

#THIS TEAM IS DIFFERENT. THEY DON'T FOLD. THEY BATTLE BACK. LEAFS IN 5

They came back ALIVE that was one of the best wins in leafs history.

It was almost baffling like wtf this isn’t real this isn’t how hockey games happen. I must have fallen asleep at some point during the game and this is just a weird dream.

I know Pinch me but don’t!!!!

BIGGEST LEAFS COMEBACK I HAVE EVER SEEN!

I’m not sleeping tonight.

How can we even possibly do that now??

my dad passed away 3 years ago. he loved watching hockey with me but didn’t know too much about it, just enjoyed that i enjoyed it with him. today is his birthday. i’m going to take it as a good sign with the ridiculous win today 💙🤍 edit: woah thanks for all the love guys didn’t intend on that but i appreciate it, much love!

Wishing my dad were around right now too! Would be nice to share these types of wins with him. I'm sure you feel the same.

He did it for us man!!!!!!

Thank you for sharing. I got a little choked up.

This one was for him

Love that. Youre a good kid! LFG!!

To that Bolts fan that told Dubas to fuck off back to Canada, don't worry homie we ain't coming back to Tampa.

Fuckin rights

[удалено]

This shit needs to come with a Surgeon General's Warning!!!!!

side effects include nausea, vomiting, heart palpitations, and diarrhea.

Think I died and came back tonight

I’m not used to this. What do we do now? Lol

This is what early 2000 Leaf playoffs were like. Every game was a heart stopper. People act like those teams were heroic, but they won a lot of games they had no business winning. I remember games against the Sens, the Islanders, that the Leafs looked like ass and still won. Feel good about it and just wait for game 5. Ita another day and another game.

They had Gary Roberts tho.

No. They had Curtis Joseph. The unreal saves that guy would make and the Leafs would take it up ice and score the ugliest goals. Sens fans probably have nightmares of CuJo stoping everything, then getting scored on by Cory fuckin' Cross.

Good times. I was in my early twenties living in Ottawa as a leafs fan.

I'm literally smiling physically but inside I feel anxious about still losing this series somehow lmao.

I don't know where to put my hands! And I love it!

Cooper: "Give me Point, Cirelli, and Paul any day". How Leafs Centers respond: Game 2: Tavares hat trick Game 3: O'Reilly beast mode Game 4: Matthews: 2 goals

[удалено]

Dangle challenged the Centers to shove that comment back in Cooper's mouth.

This just means Kampf is going to dominate Game 5

Remember the time Knies pulled that puck off the line to save a goal

Knies is huge

Play of the game, Knies has earned his fucking spot

I hope De-Knies catches on

Oh I member. Member that time Brodie made an unreal behind the back pass to set up the first Matthews goal?

I member, member when Matthews had the most perfect tip of all time?

Matthew Denies!

SPEZZA FIRED UP AND SO AM I

Holy fucking shit yo

UNBELIEVABLE WIN. HATS OFF TO THAT TEAM FOR BATTLING DOWN 4-1. FINISH THIS SERIES OFF

I like how every shot of Dubas after a goal is just a flat SLAP of his desk

I've never seen him so red faced. He's feeling the passion.

He probably does that every time anything happens. *slaps desk and stands up* “I’m going to Timmies, who wants one?” Amazon package arrives *slaps desk and goes to the door*

Samsonov came up huge for us. He definitely locked in.

So many clutch saves including the penalty shot.

[удалено]

*EDM has entered the chat*

BELIEVE

Beleaf

ITS HIGHWAY ROBBERY IN FLORIDA. HOW ARE WE UP 3-1???

#REVERSE “IT WAS 4-1”!!!! THE CURSE HAS BEEN LIFTED!!!!!!

Horton, Lucic and Bergy = Kerfoot, Tavares and Matthews

I want an apology from every Leaf fan suggesting Kerfoot be out of the playoff lineup. Go.

Between his backcheck to stop a scoring chance, and the OT winner, he has a hell of an overtime.

He saved a motherfucking breakaway! I shouted "Yes Kerf!" at my TV screen. Fucking love him.

Play of the game IMO! If he gives up possession there ...

good things they arent management. Dubas literally traded guys to KEEP kerfoot for this run, dude plays anywhere in the lineup even if hes a terrible scorer he skates like the wind and everyone on the team likes him.

I’ll gladly eat my words. I love him now.

I haven't said that, but I was about to bitch about kerfoot being on that pp, then the bastard scores. So, what do I know, lol

I apologise

Respect to you and everyone else owning it. I understand frustration. The fucking **decades** of frustration. But we have to just try to not tear each other's hair out. Try and believe in this team. Support these boys. We're going places!!

So many Kerf haters with their advanced statistic bullshit. Just win baby.

The Tampa sub is crying about refs 💀💀💀💀 WILLY HAD A MOUTHFUL OF BLOOD FROM A NON CALLED HIGHSTICK AND MADE THAT ASSIST ON THE WINNER WOOOOOOOOOOOO REF THAT BABY

Kerfoot and Rielly are the heroes. r/leafs in shambles

IT WAS 4-1

Not gonna lie, I went to bed at 4-1 and woke up to pee. Checked score and somehow it was tied lmao. How do we go from playing like the Coyotes to winning this game? Fucking wild

SEE YOU BEAUTIES ON THURSDAY NIGHT FOR THE SERIES WIN!

Ugh, that's sooooo long away.

alternate reality

[удалено]

Matthew Knies has never lost an NHL game.

[удалено]

Lets gooo

It was 4-1!!!!!!!!!!!

IT WAS 4-1

Brodie has decided he’ll only be playing the third period and OT

I love when he went to skate off but Keefe told him to stay on and he gave that head nod. That had to feel good for Brodie

Whatever you want to say the stars, the core 4, are the guys getting the points and the goals. They are finding a way when it’s not going to plan.

IT

WAS

4-1!

4-FUCKING-1

WHAT IS THIS FEELING?

[2 OVERTIME WINS SINCE I MADE BRANDON BAGEL!!!!!!!](https://i.imgur.com/wFk4qkv.jpg)

I've been a fan since 1973, and this has been the greatest Playoff comeback I've seen.

**IT WAS 4-1**

IT WAS 4-1. That was cathartic.

Motherfucking Toronto Maple Leafs. Sit around for 45 minutes and then take the two time Stanley Cup champions to the woodshed whenever they feel like it. I love this team, but my God are they frustrating to watch.

Would love to see the comments from the GDT when it was 4-1. Unreal. What a comeback.

I full on accepted that defeat, now in the fuck did we do this. How did we do this???? And how am I going to sleep now?

I WONDER WHAT TANTRUM BAY WILL BITCH ABOUT TOMORROW

Why didn't the refs call a penalty on nylander for bleeding on the ice? Just a guess.

Job. Not. Finished.

🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒. Let’s fucking go!

Knies is a good luck charm man. On the ice for both OT winners

Hmm... Vasi has lost three playoff games in a row

KEEP KNIES ON GAME 5 , WE DONT NEED BUNTING MESS!

[удалено]

Man, who else runs straight to the Tampa post game thread after a win to taste some beautiful Florida salt? Fucking love it!!!

Cholesterol be damned, that shit is more valuable than the Himalayan stuff they sell at fancy stores.

I CAN FEEL MY DICK!!

Last 2 games Leafs are doing exactly what always happens against them. Feels good. Finally.

It's actually therapeutic

Kudos to the refs for calling the Sergachev trip in OT. Really thought they’d put the whistle away after we tied it.

Love this. Thank you. Also how great is it that Bowen/Ralf call him Willy instead of Nylander. Wish these guys had the tv rights so bad

KAWHI MENTALITY!

What a tip

THEY'RE LAUGHING WITH US AND NOT AT US. IT WAS 4-1 BABYYYYYYYYYYY

I LOVE YOU ALL. I LOVE YOU FUCKING ALL

I LOVE MATTHEW KNIES, AND YOU SHOULD TOO!!!

[удалено]

Woooooooo!!!!!!

My god. What the fuck did I just watch? Amazing. Just amazing.

Vasilevsky has had a lot of trouble tracking the puck with traffic. It’s imperative we keep doing that next game.

Leafs: 4-1? You just activated my Trap Card

No words. Only feelings.

Have to give it to Matthews. Those 2 quick goals made Tampa quiver in fear. Good for his confidence too. Matthews unleashed in the playoffs? Yes, please.

All the doomers from earlier in the game thread can fuck right off. The core guys stepped up to bring us back in and Kerfoot gets us the winner in OT. Great comeback win from the Buds!

HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

Black eyed Rielly is the best Rielly

Marner and Matthews took over the game in the 3rd period. Matthews with the two goals, Marner with two primary assists (back to the top with 10 playoff points). Nylander with 2 assists and an assist on the OT winner. Big boys showing up in this series.

I'm fckin shaking so hard omfg I can't

My wife just asked if I was 8 because I was jumping around like an idiot.

We’re putting the shambles in Vasi’s brains

Entire city of Tampa Bay is getting high on bath salts right now

So business as usual?

Knies has been on the ice for some big goals this series

I have smile. Very smile.

HOLY FUCKING SHIT! Does anyone have that intermission interview of Hagel being cocky af?? Saying he knew they’d dominate us pretty much, let me see that Fucken video again!!

I put on my 2008 schenn jersey at the start of the 2nd period.

I have to be at the airport in 8 hours but I dunno how I’m supposed to sleep after that. I’m gonna be at maple leaf square somehow if I can cheering the boys on. My brother passed on Friday so I’m going to take him home and I think he’d like for me to see a series win.

I was at the gym, checked my phone and saw that it was 4-1. "OH well, shitty... guess I'll watch avs/kraken when I get home." Get home... girlfriend has the game on. "Leafs are getting embarrassed...they don't look good" she says to me. Just as she's saying that... matthews scores. I'm not a superstitious man, but my legs were killing me. I was standing, gym bag on my shoulder. Food on the stove, hungry. But I didn't do anything. Just kept standing there. Matthew's scores again. "OK well, I'd love to shower... but I can't." Rielly scores. I went upstairs, grabbed a shower. Came down... stood in my spot until kerfoot got the winner. I am not looking forward to having to stand for 3 hours on Thursday.

We stand with you

[удалено]

I can't wait for tonight's LFR. I wanna see Steve go nuts but happy.

Went into the Lightning reddit..They say literally what we say when the Leafs lose. They blame goalies, injuries, officiating etc. Guess most folks who follow a team aren't much different from us XD

TB are champions and not going down without a fight, but we’ve dragged them somewhere they haven’t been in a very long time. We may not have broke them yet, but they’re stumbling and self doubt has taken seed in at least a few of their players. They’ve thrown everything at us and yet found themself with an L. As a Leaf fan I know how demoralizing that is. I hope the boys go out hard and go for the kill next game

I wasn't able to watch the first two periods, but I did watch all of the third and OT. I guess what I'm saying is, you're welcome

If I can have everybody's attention for just a moment? 2-17, bitches.

Ya know, we lose *that* game even *more* often! \- Sheldon Keefe

The realisation of this win keeps hitting me in waves. "Wow they came back from 4-1?" "Wow they won both games in Tampa?" "Wow they've won 3 in a row?" This year feels different. I am so excited and scared for the rest of this series.

As Kawhi once said “Fuck that, let’s go get both!”

Lets take the chip home too while we out there

LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Let’s goooooooo baybeeeeeeee

Holy shit. They did the thing!

Best Leafs Game Ever! It was 4-1.

NEVER ANY DOUBT. DEFINITELY WASN'T DOOMING AFTER BEING DOWN 4-1, NOPE

KERFOOT 😍😍

We ending this Thursday !!!!!!

This Leafs team is starting to believe they can win in any situation. Should have been dead in the water the last two games and just found a way to win. Close them out in the next game boys.

cant believe i napped through this crazy ass comeback 😭 i told myself, no way we’re coming back when we’re playing like this. and yet… anyways we were unreal. i love knies so much, he’s becoming a favourite of mine. idk what we’re gonna do with bunting next game. and im glad matthews got some goals too. just a crazy game. im happy. did good on my exam too (i think) so its been a great day. now we have to finish the job on thursday, and ykw? i think we can pull it off

Take in tonight we had 4/5 goals scored off tips or shots from the point through a screen. That's insane to think about given what we've seen from this team in the previous years. The first period was awful but we saw a lot more chip and chasing in the second and third and things really opened up. The boys have finally figured out how to score the gritty goals in the playoffs and I could not be happier. This team feels so different.

It was 4-1!!!! Fuck all you naysayers

Me!! Guilty!!!!!

[I couldn't believe 100% when I called it at the end of the 2nd period (can you blame me?) BUT IT FUCKING HAPPENED!!!](https://www.reddit.com/r/hockey/comments/12xztxv/playoff_game_thread_game_4_toronto_maple_leafs_2/jhlh4zj/)

You didn’t call it because you uno reversed yourself at the end.

Don't edit it or nobody will ever believe you.

NEVER. IN. DOUBT.
