Thanks bt. The first two were as I expected really tough games to win, but the third was a breeze. If they come out in the fourth game like that I don't see us losing.

I hope they come back with a strong game.

Awesome! I think the leafs fans are the greatest because they stick to their team, and they hope for the best, unlike bandwagon canuck fans..

Game four in Toronto

Pre game interview with coach Gilmour:

This one I think is more about controlling our own emotions than anything else, we got to make sure we don’t take dumb penalties away from the play and we don't get drawn into extra penalties in scrums.

We got them down 3-0 and we’ve been in this position before already, everyone knows what they have to do and who we have to eliminate now it's time to execute.

Phil Kessel goes coast to coast and snaps a low wrister beating Ward

Post game interview with Sergei Bobrovsky:

This game was all on me, I lost my net a lot and had trouble tracking the pucks, let a lot of rebounds out that I normally don't.

The guys played well enough in front of me and they gave me goals to work with but I just couldn’t hold the line for them this time, so were heading back to Carolina for the next game and we need to focus on that now and prepare for a tough game.


Bergeron rips a slapper past Ward, netting his first of the playoffs


Paajarvi uses a screen and snaps one past Ward


Nash finds his favourite spot in the slot and rips one past Ward

Ugh, bound to take one. No time to panic, go back on the road and take care of business.

Hey guys, sadly this is my update. My computer is having some issues I have to repair so I was unable to do the tables etc.

I played game 5 last night and it ended exactly the same as game four did in a 5-4 OT thriller. It's nice to see Carolina play hard, the past two games have been tight.

So with the series at 3-2 were heading back to Toronto, hopefully I will have the CPU repaired soon so I can continue with my usual updates.

Well I dunno about that man, there are A LOT of bandwagon Leaf fans, so many in fact you can hear the collective snap of knee joints clear across the province when they all decide to jump off.

But I do think us die hard fans are some of the best, most loyal around the NHL.

Nah no panic here, I am glad they are fighting back to be honest. Fought all year to be here, I want it to be a challenge.

Honestly right now the problem is my defense and goaltending, loosing Peckham has hurt more then I would like to admit.


Thanks for following and commenting guys, I appreciate it.

Take care of it in game 6! Don't want to go back to a hostile Carolina crowd for game 7. Hopefully you can put together a plan of attack that is defense first to help out on the backend, then generate offense from there.
