Austin Matthews has scored for Toronto and looked like the Florida Panthers were going to get out of his own easily and a quick little turnover. Martner with a short little release and where’s that shot been? That’s the kind of goal that Austin Matthews scores in his sleep. gets it through the stick of Forsley, through the five hole of Babroski. And you want to talk about a look of relief right from the eyes of the puck going through the legs. Babroski can’t get down and the captain has given the Maple Leafs the lead here in the third. Rolled past Marian by the open corner. Denois working his way out. He’s got Tamaros. John got Tamaros and that’s blocked away by Babski. A rebound chance is blocked and Pati off the board.

The backhander up and under the arm of Veroski and into the back of the net. Kills some time as it comes around and there’s Matthews able to side step but unable to clear for Haggy. Loose puck in front and it’s set fly to the open shot but maybe no bigger save than for Joseph Wall. Little outlet pass by Matthews. Turned over, but look at his positioning out tall at the top of his crease. Able to find that one and then slide back down. Get in the dying seconds rolling it away. How does game seven Sunday night in Toronto sound? The Leafs have won it here at game six.
