William Nylander before puck drop, said "We've got nothing to lose. We're just fu****g playing and hopefully pull out a win". The Bruins were 0-5 in series clinching games. The Leafs were 0-6 at home in the Playoffs. So with Auston Matthews out again, their back was against the wall in a must win game 6. It was now or never. Nylander, who hadn't scored in 13 games absolutely NEEDED to show up and he did. Him and Woll just pulled the Maple Leafs into a game 7 against the Boston Bruins for the 4th consecutive time. This is a first in NHL history. It was a game where both Woll and Swayman made some great saves. We also had plenty of physicality as expected and incredibly, the Leafs held the Bruins to just 1 shot in the entire opening period. While Woll all but secured a shut out, Geekie scored with literally .1 seconds of time remaining and of course Nylander had the only 2 goals of the game for the Leafs. It was a fun one and I cover it all in todays NHL hockey video!

Who you got in game 7?!
I’m not a fan of either, but the one who loses will achieve meme immortality
No matter who wins, there's absolutely NO way the Leafs can re-insert Matthews into this lineup...
📢🎶 Ta ta ta duh duh duh GO LEAFS GO! 🎶📢 The Leafs will be finishing the story the best there is the best there was the best they ever will be!

Boston
Montgomery and Keefe are both coaching for their jobs here. Loser is 1000% getting axed.
You are 1000% correct about that. I can also guerente a second round exit would have both coaches axed too. Its semi finals at bear minimum or bust.
What’s funny is I think both are great coaches and will be hired very quickly if they are let go
Keefe isn’t fired anymore. I think he did enough especially without Matthew’s
Take em both. You have my blessing.
@@troyknights3342nope, he'll be coaching the Penguins next year.
That last 0.1 sec goal pissed me off lmao Woll deserved the shutout FUCK!!!
I felt your pain here. My wife was like why are you mad, they won? Thank God for the second goal or many of us might not have woke up happy today!
Was 0.02 after review, holy shit
Gotta play the full 60. hahahah xD
And imagine if Will hadn’t scored that breakaway goal. Bruins would have tied it and forced OT
That's the good thing about hockey.... No one "deserves" anything. You let up for even 0.1 seconds you get what you work for.
Willys’ goal was just a shot at the net. The Leafs need more of this, instead of skating around looking for the perfect shot. Shoot the puck and let it bounce in off someone, if need be. We want the win in Game 7!
True. Half of Mattews goals are just a shot at the net but he cant do it when its a accually needed. Never. Mattews is over paid
Leafs played with that dog in them. The way they should always play. I was even thinking "Hell, if they lose this game they went out fighting".
They really redeemed themselves, no matter what happens tomorrow.
The pk was unreal
Gen Z goofy ahh "dog" and "dawg" wors lol.
2013 and 2018 were the exact same series. Boston up 3-1, loses 2 and Leafs force 7, then Leafs choke in game 7.
@@milanek1527 gen z is also the only generation to say goofy ahhh.
Wild how the Leafs just magically figured out how to be a defensive juggernaut in the middle of a playoff series after never playing that way before.
Really is crazy. This was a gritty shut-down Leafs team I've probably never seen before and it's very encouraging
Nice see Leafs playing like Keefe has been coaching them to. He's a great coach. Kudos to Keefe.
@@andrewphilips2457😂😂😂😂 Sure he is 😂😂😂😂
@@jeffreycairns767 Well, to be fair.. In games 5 & 6 Keefe FINALLY outcoached someone!
Wish you showed a bit more of the second Nylander goal, the chip at the Leafs blue line by Nylander that Knies recovers, and then an absolute beauty of a pass back to Nylander was a great sequence. Knies has been good the whole series, but last night, he had a great showing.
He's brought a toughness to the team
Knies, Bertuzzi, Domi and Dewar are four huge assets when they play this style of hockey. Get the puck low, cycle and create opportunities, but they still need Marner, Nylander and Matthews for reliable goal scorers, I think.
Knies is a future superstar
Should have shown more of his first goal of the game too. He was circling around, back and forth, controlling the puck for a long time before he scored the first goal.
@staffan144 He got lucky. Had the Boston player not skated by at that exact moment, Swayman had him beat. I'm glad the Leafs won but that first goal was just pure luck
Nylander always showing up when it matters
Lol we'll see in game 7
Never, ever got why leafs fans were so on his ass esp last year when he was the hardest working core four member
@riff5fki he's been my favorite leaf since he was drafted I kept telling people watch out in a few years and nobody believed me lol leafs fans included
Hadn't scored a goal in 13 games, gets 2 at the moment of near death, great stuff by Nylander.
@riff5fki He doesn't play any style of defense 99.9% of the time, he drifted off alot after signing his new ridiculous deal, and like Matthews, only cares about himself. Everybody talks about how great he, apparently, is in the playoffs but this was his best year to date, and again, it was a contract year. He, also, sat out last contract as money was more important then the team. This team would never make the playoffs without Matthews and, especially, Marner but they definitely would without Nylander. He's been useless for awhile now but 1 decent game and he's a hero? Really? His value will never be higher then it was before his new contract, that's when they should have traded him. Now they're stuck
even if we lose tomorrow, im just glad i got to see my team play the way i wanted them to. i know they are good enough to win games, they just have to figure out their chemistry. Domi belongs on the Leafs .. kid is amazing

Bills fans having eternal PTSD
And the Champion of Choke is... (to be continued)
Knies was a beast last night, carried the game with smart, hard two way hockey. Goal 1 he’s mixing it up in front. Goal 2 he hustled to set up 88. Keep it up man
The beauty of the leafs finally playing playoffs hockey.
Except for the PP 😅
The team plays a lot harder when they're not always looking to get Auston the puck in the zone...I think you have to sit him again
Maybe not sit him - like if he’s healthy enough to play, you have to put him in - but I definitely change the approach. Bertuzzi-Domi-Marner Knies-Tavares-Nylander Those two lines have been stellar. IMO, you break them up, you make the team worse. So, that means Matthews essentially takes over as the 3rd line center… with maybe Holmberg and Robertson on his wings? Or McMann if he’s healthy? It’s not perfect but the third line has definitely been the weak link of the four this series and uh I think a 69 goal scorer as your 3C isn’t a bad thing 🤣
???? Leafs are out in game 5 if sammy starts. There's no game 6 or 7 without Woll. Imagine blaming the best player on our team as the problem instead of giving credit to Woll for playing lights out letting in 1 goal in game 5 and almost 0 goals in game 6. If we have Matthew we still win these 2 games and maybe even score more goals. Give woll the credit he deserves instead of crapping on your best players because leaf fans always run out their good players out of town and than those players win a cup somewhere else.
@@aksis2133 I mean, if it works why not... But Matty might be a bit angry after a move like that.
This 1000%. Playing Auston on the 3rd line does 2 things. It lets the boys ahead of him in the lineup know they are driving the bus and it takes pressure off Auston. Best to ease him back in. Besides their game I agree seems a bit too predictable at times. Domi and Marner are always looking for Auston off the rush and that rush game has been shut down with ease by Boston. I’d deploy him in a different role on the 3rd line but still give him all the power play time.
@@4.0.7.7 Sounds legit
You made the comment " the nastiness we expect from these two teams " , I would argue that this is the first Leaf team in years that has had more than just one or two players willing to play nasty and it has trickled down to others .
I don't have a dog in the race being a die hard Avs fan but I was very much looking forward to watching this game last night and boy was I not disappointed. What a show! My only disappointment was that darn 3rd period goal with 0.1 seconds left that denied Woll a well deserved shutout.
That's OK, hopefully it made him even more hungry to get his first playoff shutout. Game 7 would be a good time to get that shutout, wouldn't you say? 😂
The leafs are playing as brothers right when they needed too
They have no choice now that they all can’t lean completely on Matthews
As a Bruins fan, it seems to me that Matthews is a cancer to that team. Sure he may be the best talent, but he seems to have a serious attitude problem. The leafs have seemed more like a team since he has not been in the lineup
@michaelbourque5978 Exactly. He's a typical American. Only cares about himself, not the team overall
@@jeffreycairns767 Not sure I would attribute that to American, more spoiled brat.
@@michaelbourque5978leafs don't win game 2 without his goal and 2 assists. He has carried the team through wins in the regular season, if healthy, should be able to damage in post season. Maybe him being out and the team on ropes turned things around but they still have not been able to get more than 2 goals or get a working PP. I don't think there is enough out there to say it's on Matthews personality.
historically speaking, Nylander had been one of the best leafs in playoffs. He finally woke up this series.
Awesome game, I think both teams played well. I hope game 7 is just as good! May the best team win!
Boston is dearly missing the leadership and face off dominance of Bergeron. Leafs just banded together with grit and determination to make it happen. Will Matthews "crack the lineup" of this winning roster? LOL
Game 7 in Boston? Leafs have a terrible track record .. not liking their odds but would be nice to see them advance. We need Canadian teams going deeper in the play offs.
If the refs won't call Lohrei for holding the stick, Holmberg will penalize him himself.
As a Bruins fan I’m so tired of game 7’s
As a Leafs fan. I hear you!!. Good luck man.
Is it decided in advance by the nhl that this series has to go in 7 games????
Man… between Edmonton and Toronto, I’m Tim Horton’s jelly donuts about the fan base’s hype for the Respective teams. (Can’t wait for both teams to visit Utah next season!)
As a Boston fan, I am currently swimming in rat piss. It's Deja Vu all over again.
We are so back baby
Neither of these teams look like they can make a deep run against the rest of the remaining teams.
It was epic, had it on in the hotel lobby as usual, and the guests were going omg because the crowd was wild the whole end of the game, and the roaring of the crowd, the nonstop shutdown by the Leafs and the energy that the sport brings. Coolest hotel this side of the mississipi, MY HOTEL
OMG STEVEN SEAGAL
I love how the refs aren’t dealing with Marchands BS this series. Dude is scared of any physical play and will put players in danger just so he can avoid a hit. This wasn’t as bad as his “Submarine” hits in the past… but still dude hasn’t learned how to properly take a check without creating a dangerous situation.
As a bruins fan this team has little talent and overachieved a lot so I wasn't expecting anything but really blowing a 3-1 series lead again?? C'mon man I want the front office gone win or lose
Fr someone needs to go
Wont happen because they take zero accountability and will just keep getting rid of coaches just like Cassidy who went on to win a cup. Its ultimately up to the players here and the coaches in the NHL these days are the scapegoat. They look like a completely different team from games 1 thru 3. Its insane. They need to get it together for Swayman who has been standing on his balls all series !
Yeah, the Bruins have little talent and definitely over achieved this year. Much of it is the goalie
Holy F*ck! Was that the Leafs?
Nylander had been injured in the playoff. This was only his 2nd or 3rd game in the playoff this year, after the multi game injury.
Shots on goal was an amazing stat!
Hoping Leafs takes game 7.. Hate Bruins
I hate the Leafs
@@user-sk4xs3vi9pand I hate you
Neither team will get anywhere.
No reason to hate any team
It's gonna be overtime most likely and a wild finish.
The no call on Lohrei is crazy when Bert flopped like a fish
I agree. Lohrei should’ve got 2:00 in the box for holding opponent’s stick
@@mst3k54You’re a 🤡. He got blatantly cross checked from behind. Boarding. Should’ve been a penalty on the leafs.
They didn't call it because they didn't call his blatant stick hold. Then when Holmberg pushed him away to get him off his stick Lohrei just ragdolled himself into the boards. Refs should have called penalties on both
he really could have gotten hurt. Maybe he should have let go of the stick and protected his face.
helluva fucking series so far, for all teams
I’m no Leafs fan but I want to see them win. Go Leafs!
back against the woll
That was an epic match!
I hope this stretch highlights for everyone how poor Keefes bench management is. He rides his top line like a u13 team unnecessarily. He tires our players earlier than the oppositions stars but also the other lines bring their own dynamic, which provides different looks. The other teams D always settles into patterns with our stars and why they are always useless in playoffs. Adding variability creates mistakes and less pattern recognition. It's been criminal to be playing domi 13-15mins a game most of the season. Keefe should be fired for that alone. Keefes' perspective of the game sucks. Anyone could ride stars all season
Keefe is a great coach. Finally team gels to his philosophy and setup. Amazing game for all.
😂😂😂 Stop making me laugh. Keefe has never been a good coach and probably never will be
@@jeffreycairns767 He's been an elite coach at every level. Took Glen Sather 7 years with Oilers to win championship. He sucks? Scottie Bowman lost with best team in league 5-6 times. He sucks too? Grow some hockey sense buddy.
@@andrewphilips2457 Keefe is clueless. He throws players out and hopes for the best. He holds no player accountable for their actions, especially the core 4,he's been easily out coached every year despite having what should be a top contending team, he is absolutely clueless year after year. He's played guys like Holl game after game, even though he was terrible, left Sammy in far too long, had Knies on the bottom 6 this year, and I could go on. He's just got lucky that he's found the right combo of players at the right time. That's not a good coach, that's just luck, considering he had all year with this same group of main forwards. Reaves does more to help this team, even from the locker room
@@jeffreycairns767 ok buddy. The more you talk the more you show your absolute ignorance of the game from a inside perspective. True couch potato coach indeed. 🤣
@@jeffreycairns767 Keefe has a .696 career coaching win %. Yeah, he really doesn't know how to coach. 🤣 Matthew's is a crappy goal scorer too I guess.🤣
It was an AMAZING game!
If the Leafs lose this will be the biggest roller coaster series emotionally in a while
Metthews : Don't play Leafs : Start winning
Love that I found this channel
Nylander is the leader of this team
😂😂😂😂
He's one of them yes. He's been their most consistent guy when it matters most, and he's honest and straightforward when speaking and in his actions. I loved him calling out Mitch, lit a fire under his ass haha
What's sad is toronto will play lazy and shit in game 7 because they always do in every game 7 it's facts
feel bad for bostons coach if they lose. didnt they set a nhl record last year only to get knocked out of the first round by a much worse team?
If Leafs win this round they re going to cup finals. Honestly its mostly Swayman who kept bruins alive this whole round.
The swayman part is facts. The leafs going to the cup finals of they win tomorrow not so much lol
I love these videos! ❤️
Neelander finally earned his money,,,,,
you forgot the epic hit from the ref to marchand
Another game 7 heartbreak for the Leafs on the horizon..
Exactly
Nylander and Nies along with some solid goal play has been it for the Leafs.
LETS GO LEAFS 🎉
Exciting stuff
Nylander is clutch but Woll made the difference in this series
Boston wins: sleep Toronto wins: real shit
Damn that hit from behind was wild
So glad this went the full 7 games. Now whoever loses will get their hearts properly broken, as should be the way in the playoffs.
A lot of folks trash Nylander, but he is the real deal. Always liked his style of play especially vs. Marner. Mitch is a great regular season player but has not been great in the playoffs - when intensity ratchets up.
Or , ...imagine the Leafs losing yet another series...AGAIN!
Game 7 gonna be the most epic choke off ever. Both teams fighting their demons on Saturday night!! 🍿
Every game in the series has been close and competitive, game 7 will likely be the same. The Leaf powerplay has sucked and Boston's hasn't. Penalties (or lack thereof) could be the difference.
And we here rooting for Boston are now saying, "Here we go again..."
I don't watch a lot of leafs games, but I'm starting to wonder if Nylander and Marner are the true heart of the forward group and Matthews/Tavares are closer to a hockey equivalent of the 'Diva WR'.
Nylander is their best weapon this time of year, and John is trying to play the Yzerman role, D first, offence second but he's not nearly as good at it. Auston and Mitch are the divas tho I think Auston might be getting tired of it. Mitch has all the talent in the world, it's just sad it takes him getting called out and the team about to be eliminated before he puts in the effort needed.
@@krob5375 i didn't realize marner had that sort of attitude. I've seen highlights of him making defensive and offensive plays, so i ASSumed he was a good all around player all the time. Thanks for the info.
I am watching this series as a hockey fan, with absolutely zero rooting interest. I fully admit that I would have bet the farm that the Leafs were done after going down 3-1. But to me, the most interesting part is that the only thing that has changed is that the Leafs are allowing fewer goals and fewer shots. They still aren't scoring and their PP is still in the toilet. In a strange way, it's almost as though the Leafs are tougher to play against without Matthews because they have to play more defensively! It's been a fun series to watch and game 7 is almost guaranteed to be a classic.
Gotta keep playing like their lives depend on it. The team in this game 6 is the type of team that can win a cup if they keep playing like that
Can win a cup? 😂😂😂 Florida much better than Boston or Toronto. Doesn't matter who win this series Florida will eat them.
lol not really, Toronto has a hard time scoring in the playoffs, sure they can win games, but theyre usually low scoring games.
@@danielzychniewicz2633 They are indeed low scoring but Florida has much better defense. In Sports anything can happen for sure but as much as i try i dont see Toronto beating Florida. Cheers!
"omfg I just shutout the bru..." Wolls final thoughts of the game
Would like to hear what someone familiar with the system would say.. they say that timecode buddy system is 5 microseconds of accuracy, but with the frame drift or interference etc, it is realistic to argue that is could not even of been a goal. This exacerbated because as I understand, the Hero GoPro they use in the goal is not a slow motion camera and they just slow the frame rate down using software. If Vislink is like any of the wireless companies I have dealt with, they probably overestimate their latency to begin with, point is- there is always that smidge of a chance.
❤prayed with all my hearts for leafs do the same for next game.
My Home Town 🍁
The first penalty against Boston was Marchand touching the leafs players helmet and then the leafs legs for some reason collapse from under himself. Every game in this serious has had almost everything called on Boston while looking the other way for Toronto.
Moral of the story: both of these teams are ass and regardless who advances, they are getting torn apart by Florida
Go Leafs Go!!!!!
I don't think I've ever seen a guy lose a shutout with 0.1 seconds left.
I know they won and everything but still poor woll losing the shutout with .1 seconds left
Weird how this is the same guy who called this team a “Dumpster Fire” just 4 days ago…
His little ear rings give him the power to score
Game 7 about to be the most stoppable force vs the most movable object
As a bruins fan, I've had 0 faith after we lost game 5 I knew it was gonna be the same as last year
Me too
It’s kinda criminal how you didn’t include the knies pass in the nylander clip
Thanks!
Leafs power play just means its less likely for Boston to score for a couple minutes, not more likely for Leafs to score. Our power play is that bad.
But according to you, they were a complete dumpster fire just 4 days ago, right?
Yes, they were. Would you disagree?
Even if they don’t win atleast now they know how to play rough and bring that dog out to get the win 💯 💙
That hit from behind while holding a stick with dirty, that should definitely be a suspension.
looked that way at first but it's clearly a hold - a hold of the stick where he didn't let go the first attempt to shake him off - keep holding and a 2nd shake off is coming. holding and cross checking could have been called. suspension? lol. not a chance
Fckn funny that the leafs are better without matthews😂
Bruins are probably good for game 7, if they remember to play a lot less stiff and hit these bums
"Lohrei, holding Holmberg's stick, gets crosschecked hard in to the boards. No call" I feel like this statement removes any curiosity as to the lack of call. You'd think the cross check and holding cancel each other out, right?
call both (cross check, hold) if anything
If bruins lose game 7. Losing 2 series in back to back seasons after being up 3-1 will forever be known as the bruins choke.
How do you not show that pass from Knies on that 2-0 goal?????? Bad judgement on one of the plays of the game. I guess 5:22 is the maximum video length allowed?
Leafs at least switched up and made adjustments. Bruins haven’t made any. They making the same mistake as last year….
GoLeafsGo!
Bruins literally doing same exact thing as last yr. Makes me sick. Since game 7 cup loss in 2019 the Bruins have SUCKED
It's either Leafs losing another first round and the Sore 4 is over, or Bruins choking hard back-to-back years, and then the "We want Florida" Leafs getting swept in the 2nd by the Panthers. TLDR: Pure Bliss
As a leafs fan, I think I can confidently talk for all leafs fans out there - we are more nervous going into game 7, especially against the bruins than at any other point in leafs season. We would've been happier if the leafs lost 4-1 in the series, but nooooo, they have to take it to game 7 and clog the hospitals with heart attack patients.
Taking the first 3 games off was definitely the right call. Mathews (who probably caught the virus from Willy) will benefit from the rest.
Its so much fun watching both these teams lose.
not much to do this time of year as a habs fan eh
@@TheManInTheRing HAHAHA well played
Leafs are dominating 5 on 5. They need to stay out of the penalty box. If the Leafs PP was going the series would be over.
