Saturday FTB: We still have no words
Is this what it feels like to be fans of the teams that always come back against the Leafs?
The Leafs are stupid and awful and I hate them but they’re also glorious and amazing and fun sometimes.
That’s all the words I can spare on them until my brain comes out of its emotional roller coaster-induced coma.
WHAT TO WATCH
Vegas Golden Knights vs Colorado Avalanche: 3:00 pm ET on Sportsnet, TVAS and NBC
Philadelphia Flyers vs Tampa Bay Lightning: 8:00 pm ET on Sportsnet One, TVAS and NBC
If the Leafs win on Sunday, they will play the loser of the Flyers-Lightning game.

Because of course...
The last time the Leafs came back from down three goals to win a playoff game in overtime was 1993, and the winner was scored by Mike Foligno. Tonight it happened with his son in the penalty box.

The @MapleLeafs are the first team in NHL history to overcome a deficit of 3+ goals to win a game after surrendering a lead of 3+ goals to lose their previous contest (regular season or postseason). #NHLStats #StanleyCup pic.twitter.com/dsT1JzKu85

No update on Werenski per Torts. He lasted about a minute by my stopwatch. #CBJ
