Leafs really needed that one. Can't let those slip away.

Great game last night. Reminded me of the oilers and sharks game the night before. Youth came out rocking and flying and pulled ahead. Experience weathered the storm, hung around, chipped away and grinded out the win sticking to their system.

Wooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[The Black Panther]

Put Kapanen with some skilled linemates and look out.
Still won't win series (keep telling yourself that BP)
MAN THIS TEAM HAS YOUNG SKILLED DEPTH

[lucafen4]

They don't look severely overmatched. That's the surprising part. Wsh does carry the play a bit more, but no where near what people expected pre-series.

[MZac]

Youth is a scary thing to be up against in the 1st round of the playoffs.

[The Black Panther]

Hypothetically. Leafs win both in T.O. & go up 3-1.
Can they hold onto a 2 goal... errrr.... game lead?

[blayze]

What a freaking game! These Leafs are plays above and beyond anyone's expectations.

Kapanen... what a stud! Thank you Pens

Kapanen... what a stud! Thank you Pens

Yea the knock.on him was that he was supposedly a perimeter player- i drafted him as a pen and i remember hearing that too- but he was everywhere out there today. Kk gets the hero cookie...

[The Black Panther]

Anyone whose seen the Marlins play this year is not really surprised by KKs play. Abeit injury Huge step in development this season.

Wonder if there's a temptation to throw him with Matthews & Nylander for a FEW SHIFTS. I mean he's not afraid to get dirty.

I'm sure the Pens are quite happy with the return they got for him and the results of the trade. They would make that trade 100 times out of 100.

[Mr. Guru]

Yeah seriously.

Kessel was the unofficial conn Smythe last year and they got him at a reduced salary lol

He's not as good as Hyman at winning board battles or retrieving loose pucks. Digging in the corners, etc.

Hyman is very underrated.
