listen you guys. it is not HOW we win the series its that we WIN the series.
we have to have a lot of faith and hope that the leafs have the depth, experience and the goaltending to make a series out of it.

this means if we're down 3-0 tonight, we're down 3-0, but we have the faith that we can win four straight games.

we have the faith whoever we face (Montreal or Tampa Bay) despite playing two consecutive game seven series we have the foritude to carry on.

we have the faith that when we get to the finals that we can have to guts to grind it out and finally bring it home.

DO NOT GIVE UP ON THIS TEAM
we' have to work with what we face, no matter how "old" or how "deficent" we are.

one day at a time, and always hope

go leafs go!

well, i was just listening to the fan590, and they said Nieuwendyk was on skates, skating around after practice as well. This might be so good news!

But Belak will make his debut tonight:(

Ratkiler4

Guys, we need some tough people out there...Belak isnt a bad idea to put in, he would get the big guys out of the way for belfour...I think belak should play in this series, they can always take him out the next series for someone better.

I haven't given up on the Leafs.

They are going to eliminate the Flyers, and they will win the cup this year.

GO LEAFS GO

I dont see it in the stars that the leafs will lose tonight. I just cant process it in my mind. I'm so sure that the leafs will win tonight. Dont ask for a resason, because I dont have one, I just know that the leafs will win tonight.

I'd like to see Stajan in.. he's one of those guys that when he has the puck and is skating with it, I have confidence and I dont worry. I actually see him as a go to guy. I feel the same way when Sundin has it. But when Aki Berg or Robert Reichel has that thing, i fear for the worst. Hopefully that hamstring will keep Renberg out.

What's wrong with that? People are saying that Philly is a big team, wait until the Pony-Belak-Antropov get on the ice.

The Leafs have played better at home all playoffs. The fans really pump and they always come out flying.

I'm with John on this one, I have no doubt in my mind that they will win this game.

It was pretty funny on the FAN 590 today how they pretended to have Pat Marsden call Robert Esche and wake him up during the night.

The fans need to get into Esche's head tonight.
