Down 4-1 in the third to win it in overtime. What a wild game 4.

Hopefully they can exercise these first round demons now up 3-1 in the series.

You really had to jinx them like that? No lead is safe.

They just utterly crushed Tampa's spirit. Two games in a row where they choked at the end....

It would take some crazy Atlanta Falcons choke job for the Leafs to lose this series now

wtf they won....I turned it off at 1-4

I actually think they can make a deep playoff run as long as they get out of the 1st round, I said this last season after they lost in game 7.

I turned it off too. I'm even in southwest Florida and considered driving 3 hours to the game. Wow.

They're either winning it all or they're setting up for another historic collapse.

I was a Leaf fan before I realized this sport called basketball existed. Eventually Vince Carter, Mats Sundin and Carlos Delgado made me a huge Toronto sports fan.

I used to watch every Leafs game and every single Raptors games. Now with a family I have to choose which sport I'll follow the most and that's obviously the Raptors in winter and Jays during the summer, and this is the first season where I didn't watch a single full regular season game. I'm back into hockey for the playoffs. Glad to see them winning games, even though some of the old Leafs no show has popped up for half of the games. Hockey has the best first round in all north american sports IMO.

Damn, switched to Heats/Bucks after the 2nd period when it was 4-1. Didn't look back at the score. Then get a message from a buddy saying "what a comeback" I'm like "wait.. what?" check the score and see 5-4 OT. :o :o

Leafs truly are "Toronto's team". I used to think it was the Raps, but not the current iteration. They are a smelly dumpster fire full of poo and pee.

I know. I should have. Even Raps blowsout if I'm there I stay till the bitter end. Watching at home is different, I can turn channels haha. Plus it's the Buds we usually give up those kind of leads, not come back from them :(
Even up 3-1 in the series I don't feel safe. I will believe though :nod: :nod:

I mean...they DID blow a 3-1 series lead to a much worse team in Montreal a few years back. Tampa on the other hand are proven champions. We'll see i guess. On the other hand, they've been outplayed in 3 of the 4 games and yet hold a 3-1 lead. That kind of inexplicable madness might actually let them finally win a round.

Obviously not nearly as important of a win but this sort of, kind of, maybe, avenges the 4-1 blown lead vs Boston that one year. At least we can say we made a comeback for once. Need to close it out in 5 otherwise it'll get dicey.
