The Maple Leafs went into game 6 with that momentum, giving them the edge in their massive 2-1 win of Thursday night.
Even if Toronto played another game since Knies' overtime goal, it didn't stop Ryan Reaves from playfully teasing Knies about his goal last night. In their post-game comments, Reaves and Knies gave reporters a fun moment to talk about. Reaves teased Knies in one of the funniest moments with the press we've seen in a long time from Toronto players.
"Ryan Reaves (teasing): "How many times you watch the video?... Triple-digies for sure."
Matthew Knies (smiling): "No, no, no. I'd say three, four times."
Reaves (laughing): "Don't lie.""
Even if this was a turning point in the series, and now the Leafs forced a seventh game against the Bruins, in Boston, it didn't stop Reaves from teasing the rookie. This is great for team morale and the players confidence going into game 7.
