Look... I know we’re all nervous and “oh they’re gonna blow it of course they are!”. First of all, the leafs are known for blowing leads in games, not series, so I don’t understand this narrative. Secondly, the leafs are clearly the better team. They’ve shown it in every game, yes, every game. They were the better team in that game, especially in the third period. What cost them the game were 2 brutal turnovers from sandin and 1 from galchenyuk. Remember game 1? They were better, but they shot themselves in the foot with THREE puck over the glass penalties. THREE. That wasn’t gonna ever happen again. Just like in this game 5, those 3 unlucky and terrible turnovers are not happening again. Also, despite all that, they still managed to tie it up. They did not give up on the slightest, which is something past leafs teams might have done. They still brought it to ot after being down 3-0 in an elimination game. Do you know how hard that is to do against any opponent? That in itself is a great sign. This team is different, they’ve shown it all season. They have a new ability to close out games, and they have a great ability to win must win games. This was an anomaly. They will play even better overall tomorrow, and they will win game six in Montreal, and move on to face the Winnipeg Jets in the second round. Never have I been so confident with a leafs team in my life. So leafs nation, CHILL. IT’S GONNA BE OK.
