The Battle of Ontario wrapped up with a tight finish in Ottawa, as the Maple Leafs battled their way to a 4-2 win. Toronto left it all on the ice—sacrificing their bodies with 16 blocked shots, including a clutch block from Scott Laughton late in the game. Auston Matthews opened the scoring, William Nylander found the back of the net twice (including an empty-netter), and Max Pacioretty buried the game-winner. Anthony Stolarz stood tall with 21 saves to help the Leafs close out the series in six games. Next up: the Florida Panthers.

This team is too elite to fail! The lineup has the most elite 2way players in the NHL, and Florida Panthers will decide & define if the SC belongs to you?
You know what to do:
stick blades on the ice, forecheck, pokecheck, control the faceoff & the neutral zone; and most important play the BOARDGAME N&S!
Never play straight down the ice: that results in turnovers.
To win it's all about "the grind game" til the 3rd period within the last minute of every game.
The only weakness is your goaltending so you need to allow your goaltender sightlines to track the puck.
This is the result of the "comeback": after the Sheldon Keefe setback.
I swear the NHL has gotten so youth hockey like in recent years. Why do hockey players act like kids nowadays? Grow up alredy. Enough of these corny speeches.
Couldn't be more proud of you guys!! Let's F-ing GO!!!
This is cute. I already feel bad for this fanbase in round 2.
You guys beat a playoff inexperienced, young Ottawa team as the team with the longest playoff streak in the league. Congratulations! You won the easiest series to win! (Bruins fan from toronto btw, so im pissed at how 'surprised' leafs fans are.
The fact that the TML official YouTube channel uses Joe Bowens voice should make all other commentators jealous!!!! He needs to be back on actually TV
PLAYOFF LAUGHTON HAS ARRIVED
amazing to hear papi talk like that. i am loving it. GO LEAFS!! so happy for u guys! keep up the good fight boys! the sacrifice you guys make on the ice… us fans notice and APPRECIATE it. thank you for giving the leafs fans your hearts. you guys have come such a long way from previous seasons. dont forget that.
I wish they just kept doing the belts and not the puck collecting thing.The message at the top is nice though
terrible language that proceeds from their mouth
holy fuck matthews back is shredded
Much love Laughton! You are a beauty!
Good luck leafs – let see how you will do with Panthers 🐆.
Both Matthew and Scott were emotional in this video. The team played well as a collective. I'm proud. I hope they are proud of themselves as well. They have a Goliath, the Panthers, to slay, but I believe where there is a will there is a way.
Leafs suck
WE WANT FLORIDA
Scott Laughton looks like Bill Paxton a bit. Go Leafs Go!
Love the buds but vs fla its curtains
Nice to see Nicky Bobby in dressing room after the game with the boys.
Go Leafs Go ! ❤
Why do you use Joe Bowen's calls when you don't even give him a fucking BUS PASS to go to Ottawa to cover your away games?
We all called them out after that abysmal Game 4 performance, and they showed up in Game 5. All of them. I knew someone was gonna have to take one for the team. You can argue that Laughton's block is on par with Patch's game-winning goal. Massive, massive, team play there. On to the next one!
That block was HUGE. Bigger than any HUGE Donald Trump can imagine! 😂😂😂
I understand why, but I really wish they didn't have to cut out the F-bombs 🤣
Scotty Laughty! 😍👏👏👏
Toss up between Patches and Laugts for the belt, I game/series winning goal by Patches is belt worthy, but so is putting your body on the line to block a shot to prevent a goal maybe.
