Nylander apparently took the subway to the game today. What a beauty eh? That contract extension in Sweden is gonna hit so hard.

I swear when the Leafs are about to score a goal I get a weird sense so I pulled my phone out in time for the Tavares shift and I just felt it coming. Johnny wanted it bad. Shaky video, lots of jumping but this is one of the best days of my life. I love these boys so much💙🤍
Max Domi on OverDrive said his family always has this joke where they’re like “now we can stop pretending we’re fans of all these other teams. You’re finally home. “ 💙
One of the best days of my life. Met a couple of my favourite Leafs and I can’t even put into words how special this was to me. These two were so incredibly sweet. Gonna be lifetime Leafs💙

Jake McCabe when asked about if he���s frustrated with the lack of penalties:
“You guys are trying to get me to complain about officials. Not gonna do it, Mark. Just gonna continue to keep putting a smile on my face and competing”
He’s grown to be one of my absolute favourite
In all my years of watching the Leafs, this was by far the best game I’ve watched. So much heart tonight. Every single player in this lineup played incredible hockey tonight. William Nylander, John Tavares, Mitch Marner, Matthew Knies, Max Domi, Tyler Bertuzzi and the whole
If Matthews gets suspended, it isn’t because he’s a Leaf and the NHL DoPS hates the Leafs. It’s because he two handed cross checked a player in the head/neck area. You simply can’t do that. End of story.
Max Domi with 3 points, Tyler Bertuzzi with 3 points, Noah Gregor with a goal & Martin Jones with a 39 save shut out.
Good night, leafs nation.

Samsonov just told the reporter that he almost cried when the fans at Scotiabank arena chanted his name. All the credit in the world to Ilya for digging deep, blocking out the noise in this market and finding himself. He didn’t cry about it, he didn’t pout. Kept his head down and
Loved this from Gretzky on the Leafs Morning Take regarding Max Domi :
"One of the thing's that I'm really impressed with is that Max had 2 or 3 year offers to go to other cities, and he chose in his heart - I’m going to go there (Toronto) I’m going to take a little less money,
Sorry but these guys in suits at the games irritate the heck out of me. Like if that was me I’d be literally losing my mind. The photos of me would be embarrassing. Genuinely wish there were less of these guys in the arena.
Someone mentioned this to me and I totally missed this part in the Domi interview and I think it’s the first time I’ve ever heard someone say it out loud in Toronto.
“For me the most important part is winning. If it means taking less money or less term, it’s a no brainer”
Was watching the players post game this morning and this attitude right here from Max Domi is one of the reasons why Brad Treliving likes this him so much. He can score, he’s fast, he can make plays, he can be a pest, but his attitude and mindset is perfect for this team.
Luke Schenn leads all Leafs defensemen with a 63.57 xGF% through four playoff games. He leads the entire team with a 84.15 GF% and has only been on for one goal against at 5v5.
Not even mentioning his intangibles, leadership, or toughness, but he has been spectacular so far.
Luke Schenn on the Leafs:
“Well, I’m a big believer in — I think they’ve got a great culture there. And I think that the guys that they’re building around are only getting better, and those experiences only help. You look at Tampa when they won. They lost out in the playoffs a
