Auston Mathews led up a comeback effort with a pair of goals and Alexander Kerfoot scored the OT-winner as the Toronto Maple Leafs pushed Tampa Bay Lightning to brink of elimination rallying from three goals down to win 5-4.
I can't believe the Leafs finally had a memorable, fairytale playoff moment instead of being the team on the receiving end of the embarrassment. I'm seriously in awe. The ORIGINAL "blown 4-1 lead" team actually did that to someone else. Unbelievable.
It’s because didn’t quite and tell themselves it’s over mentality. It’s what great teams learn on the path to success m. I wouldn’t be surprised if O’Reilly had something to do with this.
@@nikshill8767 the bolts? Canadiens? Blue Jackets? its definitely a different team, Game 5 will be their chance to prove it. They will also come out of this series a better team so Boston better watch out
(Blues Fan)..... I'm so happy for O'Reilly to be on a team that's a real contender for the Cup. Good Luck the rest of the way, Leafs fans. Your fan base deserves a championship!
I remember the Flyers coming back against the Leafs in a playoff game in Toronto (I think it was '77) when they were down 5-2 with about five minutes left. Sent it to overtime and the Flyers won. (Yes, I'm a Flyers fan.)
@@greysonG10 Even if they lose the next game at 3 2 they still have the Psycl advantage, but anyhow i would be getting good work of Tampa for that early shower 🚿 😄
Sabres fan here, Congrats you crazy Leaf fans. I look forward to the next few years of a great rivalry renewed. Good Luck the rest of the way!! Leafs doing well is good for the NHL.
Sabres, Habs and Ottawa are all going to be tough teams to beat in the near future. It's going to be a tough division. Looking forward to it. Thanks for the support!
That Leafs 3rd goal scored by Matthews was a thing of beauty. Just watch the precise timing of Matthews skating and being in the right spot and the shooter timing his shot exactly when Matthews skates in front of the net. Amazing
I'm so happy right now as a Tampa Fan. When was the last time leaf fans and players were this hopeful? The Washington series? I'm so happy the leafs finally feel that spark, the excitement and life of hockey again so we can tear it away. .Bolts in 7
I dont see them taking him out, he strong in his skates and he’s a smart guy, saved a goal tonight with some good hands. He’s composed and confident, pretty amazing as a rookie, he’s got a bright future
So I'm in Hollywood Florida this weekend and watched the game at a place called Nicks Bar on the ocean boulevard. After the second period I started chatting with a cool nice dude from Philadelphia. As we are chatting the Leafs started their come back. This dude was so supportive and got right into it. He was almost as happy as l was of the outcome. What an experience. Way to go Leafs. Hopefully they get it over and done with on Wednesday. I'll be at the same bar in Florida watching it. Go Leafs Go!
10 minutes left, 4-1 game, and it's the leafs to get the comeback, I'm glad leafs nation finally get to be on the nice side of that comeback, it's just nice to have one! Let's try and finish up this series boys! GLG!
I went to bed when it was 4-1 and woke up seeing them win... I can't believe it, I'm in awe. 1 more game to put it away get it done Toronto! rooting for yous - Capitals fan.
Great comeback by the Leafs. Great seeing Matthews lead the way. Another clutch goal from Rielly to tie it up and Kerfoot the unlikely hero with the ot winner. Wow.
I am starting to believe I am dead. This is all the last dying gasps of my brain playing out past grievances in the playoffs. The Leafs win a game they didn't deserve and now this amazing comeback. If so, I hope it goes all the way!
Watching from Raleigh: what an exciting game and finish. Leafs demonstrating great resiliency. Sheldon showed some emotion. Best of luck in the next game at TO.
Yeah except for me I live in Ottawa and all the sens fans I know are cheering for Tampa lol really hope leafs finally get it done and win a series for the first time since I was 12 lol
@Scratchman yeah great to see the leafs with the huge comeback and same with the oilers comeback last night as well! Always liked Campbell and Hyman when they were leafs so was happy to see they stepped up last night!
What a comeback! Massive win for Toronto. Reilly , Matthews, Marner, Nylander....these are elite players and although my fellow Hab fans like to dis these guys, they are great players. We don’t have anyone close to them,....but maybe in a couple of years we will. Until then, this ( and some of Hab nation I hope) fan cant help cheering the Leafs. Forget that petty 1967 thing.... Toronto’s looking good. Not to jinx them, but I think they can take the Cup this year. Go Leafs !....and go Habs !
Appreciate it that and having a buddy that was playing for the Habs in 2021, I have a bit of a soft spot for them. Honestly, I'm cheering for any Canadian team that advances but Bettman still won't allow one of our team to win the cup as it's bad for business.
@@jeffreycairns767 I hate Bettman so much he is too stubborn wanting to keep Coyotes in Arizona while Houston is NHL ready since they got the Toyota Center.
Торонто!!!! Вытащить игру при счёте 4-1 !!!!Я в восторге!!!! Браво!!! Я вас люблю!!!! Это что-то за предельное вот это характер!!! Канада рулит!!! Это наверно самая лучшая игра что довелось мне видеть!!! Восторга нет предела!!!!
As a Habs fan I still vividly remember Kucherov's post game interview when they won the Cup vs MTL in the finals, and they way he dissed MTL and their fans in that interview. Totally uncalled for. Not to sound too bitter about it but I'm feeling pretty damn good about the Leafs breakin their hearts with these comeback wins! Especially IN Tampa! I'm a HUGE Jays fan so I think I can definitely cheer for the Buds in this one and further on! Go Leafs! Keep it up!!!
I would not normally say this but the Leafs, tons of talent up and down the line up that rivals any team in the nhl, have an excellent chance at Lord Stanley.
Hey man as a Bruins fan, this is great to see. The leaves have been thrashed so many times, it’s nice to see them getting the upper hand on a team like TB. Good luck in game 5 Toronto!
Since my Caps are out of the race this year I am rooting for the Canadian teams. All of them. Just to break the drought since 93. But I would say I am rooting for Toronto a little bit more.
TB is an awesome organization. Sooner or later, it's gotta end. BTW, I think you're the only Bolts fan that I've seen post a comment. Can't blame them honestly, they probably assumed it was in the bag. I'm a West Coast Canucks fan and I still can't believe it! Really hope they finish it on home ice to give the faithful something to experience. Because the reality is unfortunately, they'll then have to face the beast that are the Bruins next. And beating Boston, well, we all know how difficult that task would be. Best of luck TO!
These 2 wins reminded me of Gilmour's Leafs beating the Wings when they eventually went to the semis against the Kings (Yes, Gretzky highsticked Gilmour!)
That shot of the outside of Toronto's rink gave me chills. I don't care much for the Leafs, but I'm old enough to have seen what the fans have been through. It's nice that they finally an awesome moment to cherish. :)
The series is far from over, the proverbial hardest win to get the 4th yet to come. But in order to stand a chance against Boston in the next round the Leafs needed to have a 'team of destiny' moment. They did that.
Man to be honest , I've stopped watching the game when it was 4-1 but .. For the first time in a while this team have put a smile on my face. What a come back
@@ashleylaurin6531 yeah but it's not the same as a comeback in game 4 for a 3-1 lead in the series. Now I can believe that the leafs are gonna go to the second round.
I was totally happy with getting the split after game 3 particularly when we played so poorly for most of the game but tonight's comeback was very impressive. Not celebrating until we get the 4th W. Recent experience has taught me nothing to celebrate yet. But Go Leafs Go.
Hahah one of my best friends is a Bruins fan here in Toronto. Glad we can share something in common now. Not a game 7 but man you're right... what a great feeling.
I had to be up at 3:15 so after the 2nd period (1-4) I had to go to bed. What a great surprise it was just now to watch the highlights and see my Leafs take it to the Bolts and win for the second time in OT. Fncking Awesome!!!
My favourite game of these playoffs, I had just gotten out of a big exam when the score was 3-1. Getting back to my dorm and watching the comeback with my friends was something else.
What an awesome comeback. Let's not forget Knies was one of the saviors! If he didn't save that goal, the game wasn't going to be tied. Knies is an awesome player!
As some have already mentioned… it’s VERY weird as a leaf fan to be on the winning side of a come back like that. Sooooo many games have been lost. Soooo many play off series have been lost in this fashion. We have have seen the leafs lose 4 straight in a series to blow a 3 game lead. Always hopeful, thrilled that this happened but so reserved and hesitant to celebrate. Many decades of the same old thing. I hope they can close this at home in game 5. Crazy amount of pressure on them but that game 4 rattled a cage to say the least. This may not be the typical leaf team of prior years. We will see.
Это без спорно и абсолютно без апиляционно лучший хоккей в лучшей лиги мира. Сколько уже матчей сыграно в этом плей офф и везде интрига и во многих чудесное возрождение из пепла. Настоящее удовольствие для зрителей. Почему так у нас нельзя? Ответ на поверхности - отсутствие полноценного потолка по зарплатам, привет обеим армейским командам.
Im a canadiens fan but i love the leafs and i want canada to get a cup. Everyone was cheering for tampa at my school and i said leafs in 5. Lets go Leafs!
😁This game is similar to the Oilers-Kings game on Sunday night. Oilers were downed 3-0 in the first period, and then they came back and won in OT 5-4. The same scores as this game. Oilers and Kings tied 2-2 in their series. Toronto is leading 3-1 in this series.
Man I am happy! The Leafs complete the comeback! We were down but not out! THAT WAS AWESOME!!! Time to close out the series Thursday night! LET'S GO LEAFS!!!!
