  1. 11-1 last 12 games
    1st time up 2-0 since 2002
    49 of last 50 Cup winners were 2-0 in a series at one point.
    10-0 when we win 1st 2 home games in a series and go up 2-0
    1st OT home win since 2017
    This team is different. MAXIMUM DOMI!

  2. I don’t see many sens fans complaining about the refs now… i bet they still think they were better 5 on 5 too lol

  3. Stolarz is certainly the best lead through 2 games, and not having an ace in net feels like the biggest deciding factor in most of the recent playoff series losses. The ONLY thing Stolarz really has as a weakness, is a lack of game volume and being untested night in and night out. He is a stud, but he usually doesn’t have to start more than 1-2 games between rests. With the leafs up 2-0, would it be prudent to let will start game 3 to give Stolarz a break and keep him fresh and sharp? Or do we let him earn his wings and see how he does playing starting goalie volume?

  4. Carlo needs to be better . Robertson needs to come out for kampf or pacioretty. You can’t have domi n Robertson on same line . They were on for a goal and Robertson took a penalty and they scored . That line won’t work against panthers or any other deep team. It may work a bit against Ottawa , but it won’t last . Other teams 3rd lines will hem that line in all the time .

    Marner Matthews’s knies
    Nylander Tavares mcmann
    Holmberg kampf domi
    Lorentz Laughton jarnkrook /pacioretty.

    Way better defensive lines and way more comfortable sending that 3rd line out rather then our current 3rd line .

    Go leafs go

  5. Maximus Dominus!

    and the Leafs as a whole; what a huge difference it makes when you have the snarl and can bite back.

  6. Dang it Steve. Thought you were supposed to grow a playoff beard not a play off face! Ez on the nachos bud we gonna need ya for a few more series. 😂

  7. I’m at sea on a cruise and with the time change it is ridiculous early? Late? But watching the LFR drop live is a bonus 😊 – Benoit thinking he’s Kuch is one of the best @steve line ever!!

  8. I'll take the win, but they're not going to get away with being outplayed for the entire series. Tkachuck must be nursing an injury. Remember how he played in the 4 Nations? He's nowhere near that level.

  9. Nick Robertson has become a liability with very limited upside. How do you get so many high sticking penalities when you are like 5 ft tall?

    Undersized, lousy shot, can't hit and poor defensively.

  10. Watched it just after 2am, couldn't sleep till I saw it, watching it again at 8am, why? Cause it's cheaper than a psychiatrist.

  11. Dude, We should thank the sens cuz if you think about it. If it wasn't for the sens, we wouldn't be able to go to the second round. Remember back in the 2000s.
    And the other time we went to the playoffs 8 times, we lost in the first round the sens weren't there. Now they are, and it looks like we are going to the second round. Sorry for the redundancy

  12. How can you not comment on the Double Minor on Marner that the refs just simply said "well, we're going to Ottawa next, don't want to die there" and simply waved it off? That was ridiculous.
