You might say that it is not a big deal when a team wins a single playoff game. Maple Leafs fans know the truth — when your team hasn’t had a playoff berth in 9 years, a single playoff win means the world.
It was incredible to be downtown in the heart of the excitement when the Leafs dominated the Bruins in Game 2 of the 2013 playoffs. The crowd outside in Maples Leafs Square was ready for action and man did we get a show.
Kessel’s glorious breakaway goal
Like most teams in the NHL, The Leafs decide to vary their effort each game. During this particular game they were firing on all cylinders — giving it 110%. I’ve never seen anything like it. Every pass connected, every check was finished. Were it not for Rask’s excellent goaltending, the score may have been 8-2 instead of 4-2.
After watching the Jays get spanked earlier in the day, it was nice to see a Toronto team win a game, and they did so with spectacular fashion. The excitement for the final Toronto goal by van Riemsdyk set the square on fire with excitement I have never seen before. It was at that point we knew that the Leafs had won their first playoff game in 9 years.
Go Leafs Go!

Mabye Leafs can play the Sens next round if they go on!!!
Despite the huge win on Sat it looks like the Leafs might not be moving on. I’m still trying to beLeaf though.
It would be an interesting matchup if the Sens and Leafs play.
Your probably right, especially after last nights loss. Leafs and Sens would certainly be a fun series though.
