GDT - Caps @ Leafs | Sun Apr 23 7:00PM EST CBC | We've got this

number17

Mod Squad
Didn't seem like Zeke nor Beleafer had much luck with the GDT the past couple games so I'll give it a shot if it's ok with everyone.

No question biggest game of the season, where the young Leafs face elimination for the first time this playoff, and this will be a GREAT learning lesson, facing adversity, the stress, the hard work, the triumph

I am confident the Leafs don't simply want to learn from this game, but will in fact win this. It is kinda crazy, that the 1st vs 8th team series has been a 1-goal game every single game, and there's nothing to pick between the 2 teams thus far in the first 5 games, which is why I think this series will go 7. That's how close we are to the President trophy winner Washington.

I think we played a great road game in Game 5, and other than a PP that has lost power I really got no problem with the game. They capitalized on their chance in OT and we couldn't, and that was the game. But if we play that game 5 say, 100 times, I think each team will win 50 times.

With the back against the wall (or the cliff, as Trotz has put it) we'll see what these young guys are made of. I am not concerned about the young guys, the only thing I really hope is Freddie plays as good a game as he played in Game 5 (or game 2). We can't afford a single soft goal.

It will be our best game ever. We've got this.



Go Leafs Go!!!!
 
flip a coin. it's been that tight, other than a stretch here or there where either team was noticeably dominant.

I'm worried more about our goaltending than anything else tbh. you simply don't know if it's going to be Frujo or Fredskala.

This just seems a little over-stated to me. Goalies haven't really been the shining light or a black hole this series.
 
Go 17 go!

Given how utterly even this series has been, I can't help but think the Leafs will extend this to seven.

Let's hope the Caps choke on closing out the Leafs. Get on top of them early and things should go well.
 
All Situations

Leafs w/Alzner in Caps Lineup: 45.9cf%, 45.6scf%, 55.4hdc%
Leafs w/oAlzner in the Lineup: 54.8cf%, 53.2scf%, 62.1hdc%
 
They won't roll over and die. They haven't all season I don't expect it tonight.

Going to be a tight one but 3-2 and Willy with the winner
 
Proud of this team. Whatever happens the rest of the playoffs, a lot to look forward to.
 
Seems like the Washington cockiness is getting worse with each passing game:

Mark Masters‏ @markhmasters
Ovi on facing Kadri line: "It’s nice. We like to play v those guys. Don’t know about them but we feel comfortable to go play all night long"

As much as I'm proud of this team and really happy with the season, I'm not ready for this to be over yet. Partly because I really want to get to watch these guys play in more games, and because over the course of this series I've developed a real desire for the obituary for another wasted Caps season to end with a first round exit.
 
I hope one day soon we'll be a 118 point dominant squad and know what it feels like to look down on a 95 point 2nd wildcard team.

yeah they're cocky but...you know what? we would be too if the standings were flipped.
