The Colorado Avalanche didn’t quit when things looked bleak. Bednar made the right call to pull Kuemper early. He knew this was the only way to give the team a puncher’s chance to win. Francouz came up huge tonight. He delivered when the team needed him. After the disastrous second half of the first period, the Avs fought back. From the second period to overtime, the team regrouped and played two-way hockey. They outshot the Leafs 51 to 27. The Avs refused to take their foot off the pedal as they showed urgency. They were well aware that the franchise home winning streak record was on the line (11 straight home wins). The team remained disciplined by taking only 2 penalties. This was the hardest fought win by the Avs this season. They showed a lot of grit, determination and spirit. The first line came through again. Avs fans can only hope that this production will be the new norm.
It was a very hard fought win by my second favourite team in the NHL. I was hoping both teams would had played two-way hockey with similar discipline, energy and dogged determination for a full 60 minutes. What the Leafs gave in the first period was not sustained and waned off well into the late stages of the second period where the Avs. surged and found new life, which they have a propensity and proclivity for mustering. That being said, I hate to keep flogging a dead horse but for the Leafs this has been a consistent pattern in their play for the past decade at least. Being up on an opposing team by 3 goals in three games this season is the inevitable case in point people are beckoned towards. Alas, ever since I endowed my ultimate fandom to the Leafs as my primary Hockey club back in 2016 I began to realize with my own eyes that this franchise is cursed mentally. Climaxing in a painfully obvious way whenever they reach the playoffs. I can only dream, hope and pray that they will bury their demons once and for all and hoist Lord Stanley's cup to bring glory back to this franchise for which it so longingly and desperately needs. When they do, and I know they will. The Avs. will then have my full support and approval to win it again themselves.
Kudos to Colorado they never gave up. Leafs still need to learn how to close out games convincingly. Really frustrating and worried when it comes to playoffs time.
They stated playing Colorado’s style of game, Compared how they were playing in the first period with their strong passing.. Exchanging breakouts down the ice with the highest scoring team in the league is a bad idea haha..
It's definitely a change for the Avs. The last few years, they really haven't been good at comeback games or overtime. Bednar has a really bad OT & shootout record.
The first period the Leafs were absolutely awesome. Losing after having a three goal lead ....not so awesome. Still defensive issues here. And an absolutely dumb penalty by Richie could have cost them that point. Send him down

Yes it was. The Avs won because they were better conditioned. The Leafs stopped skating with them after the middle of the 2nd period. Great conditioning.
5:07 Checkout Kadri's reaction to Campbell's awesome diving save. This game was so much fun to watch [unless youre a Leafs fan, in which case youre sweating].
Whoever did is an idiot. Even at 3-0 still had a bad feeling to the point where I’m just happy the leafs got out with a point. Colorado is just that good and the type of team to comeback.
Tough game to lose being up 4-1 for the third time this season again. Some of it had to do with Covid protocols and irregular inconsistent game scheduling, but they still had no excuse to lose this game. Silver lining for them is that they got the point in large part due to Campbell standing on his head for the whole game with an undoubtedly high ranking save of the year candidate dubbed unofficially as the Souperman. Also a big Congratulations to the Avs. on their franchise setting record of 11 straight home wins.
COVID destroyed the Avs when they played Nashville before the break. We were minus 5 key players and the goalie. Tonight, I think the Leafs were just w/o Marner.
Would have been nice to be the team that prevents them from setting that record, but they are a great team afterall and especially tough to beat in their home rink. Congrats to the Avs. No shame in getting the regulation loss though. Time to start another winning streak the next game!
well I think leafs should really solve their problems with physical play otherwise it will be another short play off. that team is super talented and technical, but once they get push around they don't really have an answer. This is what I am happy to see from my avs this season.
The Leafs were all smiles and so happy when they had that 4-1 lead...Then the AVS turned it up a notch and put Toronto in their place and DISMISSED the Leafs in overtime... The looks on the Maple Leafs players faces as they left the ice at the end of the game was PRICELESS...😂😂😂
I was honestly surprised the Avs came back. I have a lot of faith in this current Avalanche team yet it was looking hopeless after 4 goals. Fun stat- Matthews has scored 22% of his goals against the Avs this year, in two games.
Hate when my 2 fave teams play each other. You can imagine the joy and pain I experience each time any team scores. It happened 9 times today lol. What an emotional rollercoaster of confusion. I don't know what happened to me tonight. I'm so confused.

Colorados MO for the rest of the season moving forward needs to be team defense, High IQ hockey and getting good goaltending, and to keep humming along on offense. The dump in forcheck needs to continue improving to extend and get easy forward possessions when certain teams play trap against their speed and skating through the neutral zone, give them credit tonight though it was all work to get this one done. Franky great stuff to come in cold tonight and give them the chance they needed and for the team to dig in in front of him for the most part. There's apart of me that knows darcy still isn't there yet and if we can get it out of him it can take colorado to another level. I wonder about Parkila coaching the goaltenders and think it's weird that after varly has been gone why they kept him, as it was varlys guy, but then look how much better varly got in the island after a slow down to his career with colorado, and a resurgence with Berry Trotz's goalie guy. Investing in a truly proven goaltender coach to help out Kemps and franky continued ascension could be crucial for this team. I just have not seen darcy continue to get significantly better and round into game breaker Keumper, and part of that is a goaltender coach who can't help them reach their full potential in Parkila. Think about it, what do we actually know about Parkila besides that when varly was struggling in colorado he wanted to go back to someone that helped mentor him when he was younger. but besides that he was never considered for any team as a goaltending coach ever, and correct me if I'm wrong but he was not even doing goaltending coaching when varly had the team contact him. Would be smart to invest in your goaltenders with a proven track record guy of the likes of mitch corn, Ian Clark, or jason Muzzatti. Look at how good a guy like freddy has been this season while working with Jason Muzzatti in carolina.
Matthews screaming towards Makar after his second goal is absolutely hilarious. The leafs are always celebrating so hard after a goal, but can't play a 60 minute game. Avs dominated every aspect (expect goaltending). Without Campbell, This is easssily a 7-4 game
@@angiz1 lol ya really 😂 like I get he got caught on the line change but dude literally just stands there as toews skates past. Yet some people say matthews is an unreal 200’ player haha
@@Mattoilers97 I'd enjoy a Stanley Cup Final between the two teams. I'm just hoping my Avs can get out of the second round this year. (it would be good for the sanity of the Leafs fans, if they could make it out of the 1st round).
Av’s are my number one team (born and raised in Colorado) and I was so hype to see them win tonight! But leafs aren’t my number two team and I’m the same breath I was kinda pissed they lost while being up 4-1. Love and hate when these two team play,
I've saw a ton of Avs/Leafs fans on Twitter tonight. I'm an Avs fan through & through but I'd like to see the Leafs win a playoff round. It's been 18 years since they've advanced to the 2nd Round.
When you are playing with different players on the first and second lines and your team is way ahead, you don't notice but when it comes to defending a game when it's on the line, your positioning and aware ness of your line mates are not familiar and you make mistakes. I still think that the Leafs can't play under pressure defensively especially when they were way ahead. Reminded me of the playoffs playing Boston with Reimer in goal
50-29 Shots On Goal and we almost lost this game. We have GOT to get better goaltending. The stacked talent means nothing if our goaltender is giving up these beach balls on goal. Go Av’s.
Idk, defense was atrocious in the first period. Let Toronto skate around the net with the puck all period. Left him out to dry on the kerfoot goal. That's on the guys in front of Kuemper. Plus Matthews is a sniper, can't give him clean looks in front like that. Defensive zone and transition play need to be a lot better, at least consistently for 3 periods instead of just 1 or 2. Lots of bad/dumb penalties being taken lately in these games too. Avs need to clean up that crap. Then we'll see if the goaltending holds up but as of now, not about to blame the goaltending
Good game, spectacular first 40 minutes was always going to be tough closing out the Avalanche as they invoked the nuclear option and pushed their top players to their absolute limits. Would have been nice to have the shutdown line of Engvall-Kampf-Kase healthy to settle things down in the third. Anyways can't win em all and I'll gladly take the point.
That all too familiar 3 goal lead. As a leafs fan, you never feel safe :/ Looked like a hard fought game regardless but it always stings when they do that.
Every team blows leads, but when the other teams do it it doesn’t get talked about as much. I guess that stigma will only go away when the Leafs win the cup, which is not fair to the current players who didn’t play in that Boston series. As a Leaf fan I’d much rather have the 4-1 lead than to trail 4-1. Huge point gained tonight.
It's amazing. You look at the leafs and the way that they play and you go "Damn they look good." But then you snap out of it and remember it's the leafs.
the av's are an interesting puzzle to solve at home, i bet for the win not the loss; tho - at this time if you're to bet against the av's at home the pay-out's huge but very-unlikely.. lol live odds swing still had the av's as the favorite going into the 2nd and 3rd periods respectfully the maple leafs past(s) giving up 2, or 3 goal leads has even hit vegas live odds makers heads - that's a tough pill..
Actually, you are correct on both counts, Avs shouldn't get behind 4 -1 and need 5 goals to win, Leafs shouldn't blow a 4-1 lead. Everyone chirping the Leafs here, Avs could have easily lost getting in a 1st period hole like that, fun game to watch tho
It's funny that so many people keep saying "it was 4-1." Yes it was but people are making it sound like it was 4-1 with 5 minutes left in the 3rd against a really bad team. Colorado is 1 of the best teams in the league, they scored no more then 2 in any 1 period and they never stopped coming at them. It also helps having fans in the crowd cheering them on. Toronto scored 3 in the first including 2 goals 40 seconds apart. I now see what they're doing and it's not the players fault. Once they get a big enough lead, they're being told to forget about offense and work together on defense to keep the other team at bay. The problem is, Toronto is an offensive team, not a defense only team. Instead of trying to protect the lead they have they have to continue getting goals. I don't know if this is Dubas or who's telling them to do what they're doing but it doesn't work, clearly. It's not that they choked but rather are told to do this but again, it doesn't work and it hasn't for years. Campbell is amazing but with to many so called defensive players in front of him, it's blocking his view to much and therefore he can't see the play. Both teams played well in this game. Atleast it was alot closer then 8-3.
Absolute playmaking clinic by Rantanen in this game. Solely responsible for goals 3 and 4 and got an assist on two others for 4 total.
The tying goal pass is so forward thinking and slick. Bounce a rolling puck of the boards and immediately direct it backhand through your legs. It’s like he planned it years ahead.
On the Avs 3rd goal he takes 3 leafs with him then centers it to Landy.
I mean... Mikko is prolly one of the most skilled players in the league. Those passes were another level
For reals. That pass was so damn fast even on slomo

You can’t give the Avs 50 shots and expect to win

It was 3-0
It was 4-1
It was just another Maple Leaf choke.
Pro sports "WORST" franchise ever. 1967
@@Jenjoshstars2012 Yet , this game is the proof that we don't even have to wait for the playoffs to see such magic :D
Matthews screaming towards Makar after his second goal is absolutely hilarious. The leafs are always celebrating so hard after a goal, but can't play a 60 minute game. Avs dominated every aspect (expect goaltending). Without Campbell, This is easssily a 7-4 game
Maybe he should have saved his breath. Just look at that effort on the OT goal 😂
@@angiz1 lol ya really 😂 like I get he got caught on the line change but dude literally just stands there as toews skates past. Yet some people say matthews is an unreal 200’ player haha
Austin Mathews needs to get a lot better defensively if the Leafs want to go anywhere in the playoffs.
Idk what game you watched but he was a one man wrecking crew tonight. He was bad on that last goal since he was exhausted.
He should have gotten off the ice in OT..that goal was a result. That said, guy has 5 goals again this team in two games so he can do what he wants
With all his goals assists, he's only plus 4. May end the season as a negative player.
IT WAS 4-1 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The 5-1 lead against us was worse
@@dnl4ever666 5-0 against the Blues too.
Classic Leafs, choking is their game!
What? Leafs blow a 4-1 lead? What a rare event....
Pro sports "WORST" franchise ever. 1967
@@dnl4ever666 Worse, 5-0 against the Blues.
Love watching the leafs choke.....it's the best
Ahhhh this reminded me of a typical leafs playoff game....so satisfying to watch... lol GO AVS!
Gretzky-like assist by Rantanen on the tying goal
"This is a team that's not used to playing from behind."
The Avs: "Should that be a problem?"
When the Soup is a 10/10 but there’s a fly in it
nice choke
Mathew's controller disconnected in OT.
Little playoff preview
@@Mattoilers97 I'd enjoy a Stanley Cup Final between the two teams. I'm just hoping my Avs can get out of the second round this year. (it would be good for the sanity of the Leafs fans, if they could make it out of the 1st round).
A good look at Toronto, this year's playoffs....!!! Get used to it Leaves 🍃 Fans
Вот это заруба!
Only feel bad for Campbell. Good thing Frankie got the W.
Leafs decided 2 periods of work was enough and took the rest of the night off. Same ol story.
Av’s are my number one team (born and raised in Colorado) and I was so hype to see them win tonight!
But leafs aren’t my number two team and I’m the same breath I was kinda pissed they lost while being up 4-1.
Love and hate when these two team play,
I've saw a ton of Avs/Leafs fans on Twitter tonight. I'm an Avs fan through & through but I'd like to see the Leafs win a playoff round. It's been 18 years since they've advanced to the 2nd Round.
???
There are so many Leafs/Avs fans.
It’s probably mostly leaf fans cheering for a team that can win in the postseason
Why is nobody talking about this play at 6:13?
Wait what. It went to OT. I thought Toronto had a decent lead on the AVS
When you are playing with different players on the first and second lines and your team is way ahead, you don't notice but when it comes to defending a game when it's on the line, your positioning and aware ness of your line mates are not familiar and you make mistakes. I still think that the Leafs can't play under pressure defensively especially when they were way ahead. Reminded me of the playoffs playing Boston with Reimer in goal
50-29 Shots On Goal and we almost lost this game. We have GOT to get better goaltending.
The stacked talent means nothing if our goaltender is giving up these beach balls on goal. Go Av’s.
Idk, defense was atrocious in the first period. Let Toronto skate around the net with the puck all period. Left him out to dry on the kerfoot goal. That's on the guys in front of Kuemper. Plus Matthews is a sniper, can't give him clean looks in front like that. Defensive zone and transition play need to be a lot better, at least consistently for 3 periods instead of just 1 or 2. Lots of bad/dumb penalties being taken lately in these games too. Avs need to clean up that crap. Then we'll see if the goaltending holds up but as of now, not about to blame the goaltending
Gotta love it avalanche no quit and no question we are better than any maple leaf need some solid goaltending and we will be playing for the cup!!!
Again the leafs managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.!
Nice.
Leafs, gonna Leaf. They def have a kink for choking
😂🤣😂
Good game, spectacular first 40 minutes was always going to be tough closing out the Avalanche as they invoked the nuclear option and pushed their top players to their absolute limits. Would have been nice to have the shutdown line of Engvall-Kampf-Kase healthy to settle things down in the third. Anyways can't win em all and I'll gladly take the point.
Maple Laughs still found a way to lose after 3-0 lead. Doh!
Leafs: “PLAYOFF MODE ACTIVATE”.
That all too familiar 3 goal lead. As a leafs fan, you never feel safe :/ Looked like a hard fought game regardless but it always stings when they do that.
Every team blows leads, but when the other teams do it it doesn’t get talked about as much. I guess that stigma will only go away when the Leafs win the cup, which is not fair to the current players who didn’t play in that Boston series. As a Leaf fan I’d much rather have the 4-1 lead than to trail 4-1. Huge point gained tonight.
@@PP-rr1gz it’s mostly that Boston series that sealed the tradition of the blown 3 goal lead I think
leaf fan here. the avs are awesome. but both team better play better defense come playoff time. avs need better goaltending too.
MLSE don't deserve the loyalty of the fans. This constantly take the fans for granted.
4-1 lead blown. @SteveDangle that's a dang it.
Comeback City baby! Go Avs!
What an amazing win for the Avs. Also the leafs should maybe stop getting 4-1 leads they aren’t very good with holding them 😭
i dont think we should be getting any 3 goals lead whether it is in a game or a playoffs series
Avs didn't do much here honestly, was more of the leafs falling asleep at the wheel
@@paulthompson8793 outshoots opponents 50-27 "doesn't do much."
@@paulthompson8793 that’s called choking dumbass haha
@@thegamersparadise Well you didn’t do that this time :)
Рантанен конечно ТОП! Что ни пас, то конфетка! 👍
The Maple Loafs must have thought they were playing the Bruins.
I know Dangle doesnt wanna seem like a homer so i'll just say it...THAT Campbell save IS a HatPick
Has anyone noticed the leafs only beat bad teams
Matthews had absolutely no hustle in that OT, would have been cool to see the hat trick
That's a dangit
Jack Campbell may have gotten the first save on Devon Toews, definitely didn't get the last save though.
This game really proves that rantanen has eyes in the back of his head
Nice
Jack Campbell let it in 5 goals and still had a .900 sv%. Maple Leaf defense mailed it in
It's amazing. You look at the leafs and the way that they play and you go "Damn they look good." But then you snap out of it and remember it's the leafs.
the av's are an interesting puzzle to solve at home, i bet for the win not the loss; tho - at this time if you're to bet against the av's at home the pay-out's huge but very-unlikely.. lol live odds swing still had the av's as the favorite going into the 2nd and 3rd periods respectfully the maple leafs past(s) giving up 2, or 3 goal leads has even hit vegas live odds makers heads - that's a tough pill..
After the first I was like “well the avs aren’t ready for playoff hockey” and then I was like “well leafs aren’t ready for playoff hockey”
Actually, you are correct on both counts, Avs shouldn't get behind 4 -1 and need 5 goals to win, Leafs shouldn't blow a 4-1 lead. Everyone chirping the Leafs here, Avs could have easily lost getting in a 1st period hole like that, fun game to watch tho
Dangle , Rudo From DNVR says hi
Rip Steve
remember when the leafs played defence all of november then just...stopped?
Defence let the goalie down
Wouldn’t be surprised if Campbell had a few shots after the game
4-1. Name me a more popular lead the Leafs blow.
November 28, 2000. Leafs blew a 5-0 comeback against St. Louis with 15:10 left in regulation.
Leafs must have thought it was a playoff game. Matthews really slacked off on the last play
It's funny that so many people keep saying "it was 4-1." Yes it was but people are making it sound like it was 4-1 with 5 minutes left in the 3rd against a really bad team. Colorado is 1 of the best teams in the league, they scored no more then 2 in any 1 period and they never stopped coming at them. It also helps having fans in the crowd cheering them on. Toronto scored 3 in the first including 2 goals 40 seconds apart. I now see what they're doing and it's not the players fault. Once they get a big enough lead, they're being told to forget about offense and work together on defense to keep the other team at bay. The problem is, Toronto is an offensive team, not a defense only team. Instead of trying to protect the lead they have they have to continue getting goals. I don't know if this is Dubas or who's telling them to do what they're doing but it doesn't work, clearly. It's not that they choked but rather are told to do this but again, it doesn't work and it hasn't for years. Campbell is amazing but with to many so called defensive players in front of him, it's blocking his view to much and therefore he can't see the play. Both teams played well in this game. Atleast it was alot closer then 8-3.
IT WAS 4-1!!
IT WAS 4- 1 DANG IT !
