I hope JVR is on the ice for the game winner...against.

P.K. speaking his mind, borderline unfiltered? No way! lol

One team is going home after tonight, after playing a really good hockey game. I hope the Bruins are that team. Go Leafs!

If Nylander doesn't try to pull that puck to his forehand and shoots on his backhand, it's 1-0 Leafs.

First team to two, wins.

BS slash call on Lybushkin. Let em play.

Toronto has to win a lot of the wall battles, for the puck. They did a good job of that in the first period. They competed well. Keep it going, Leafs.

They had no choice. Wuu got a pre game boo boo.

Edmondson just CRUSHED Pastrnak in Toronto's D zone.

Samsonov gained a little weight, since being on the bench. No sleepies, Ilya.

They just need to get 6 past Swayman/Ullmark. Then, there's no need to worry...I think.

Woll is apparently out with an injury, according to Elliotte Friedman (on X aka Twitter). Samsonov gets the start.

Even ol' Terry would have had a hard time taking his dad Tie Domi's, head off. It was made of iron.

That's just it. They don't NEED a big game from Auston Matthews, to win this series, unlike past seasons. They have better depth, and though they're defense isn't overly physical, it's improved and they block their fair share of shots. That's an area that has allowed them back in this series. I think Domi steps up tonight, and has a big game..as does Knies, again.

Don't worry. The Flyers will trade for Marner.

I had Dallas in 6, in this series. It worries me a bit, that Dallas only had 22 shots in Game 6. They played a little too cautiously, IMHO. Johnston and someone else, has to step up in Game 7, or they're going to lose. I think Benn and Pavelski, step up and show veteran leadership in Game 7, and play well. I think Vegas is keying on Robertson, and he's going to have a hard time in Game 7, getting open ice and chances. Harley has to become more active in the offensive zone, also. He certainly has the tools to do so. They've got to get more chances in the offensive zone, and wear down Vegas top 4 defensemen, and make them chase Dallas around. Easier said than done, but I think the Stars will pull it out. I expect a hard fought, tight checking 3-2 Game 7.

If the Canucks play the way they did through this series, the Oilers will beat them in 4 or 5. Vancouver had better kick into a higher gear..FAST.

No sleepies!

The Bruins are only 14-10 all-time in Game Sevens. I honestly really like the Leaves chances. They've really galvanized as a team without Matthews. Now, the question is..do you let Matthews play, if he's not fully ready? That was sarcasm. Of course, he should play if he's at all capable. I like their chances a lot regardless, with the Brick Woll in goal. This is the best team the Leafs have had in a while. They've really showed a lot of character, in this series.

All in all..it's looking like another win for The Woll. As I type this, ol' Willie Nylander scores. Looks like a Game 7. Good for Toronto.

The zebras are doing their best to make sure Vegas ties it.

It's Dougie Downer, not Debbie. I'm not saying Michkov won't great, if he gets here. I'm quite confident he will be. I just really worry about the political situation over there, and him not getting here. The earlier he gets here, obviously the better for the Flyers.

Stars win tonight, 4-3. Finally, a home team will win a game, in this series. Pavelski with the Game 5 game-winner.

It really is amazing that a front office with virtually no NHL experience, is an upgrade over what was here previously, but it is.

If they don't get Michkov here this summer, I fear that he'll never get here.
