Doug Gilmour, a hockey legend of yesteryear, just went ahead and shook up the fans of the Leafs right before Game 4 pure chaos. The ex-captain of Maple Leafs fired a tweet saying, ‘Time to close out this series #BringThePassion Leafs Nation! Who you got tonight?’ along with a very gripping game promo imagery. And let’s just say… people have THOUGHTS.

The replies came in like a breakaway goal: bold sweeps, astonishing conspiracy theory. Dave R.B. keeps it cold and hard. Oof. That’s some brutal honesty right there. Meanwhile, it simply read ‘LEAFS WITH THE SWEEP!’ that Kevin P. Krestinski chose for some seemingly dead subtlety, with broom emoji attached.
But wait; it only gets better. ‘Sens could win. Typical. Extend the series. Good for business. All about the money’, entered Gregg Symonds with the bombshell of the century. Okay conspiracy theory guy, we see you. Meanwhile, James Blackley brought all the wholesome energy by attributing his niece as the team’s good luck charm and posted ‘Leafs. I’m with my good luck charm; she’s 3-0 when we watch the leafs a.k.a. my niece!’ Proof via photo because you can’t make this stuff out.
The score predictions flashed by faster than pucks at morning skate. Everything from Just ‘3-1 Leafs!’ (shoutout to LARRY CROSS) to ‘5-1 Leafs win. Marner with 3 points’ showered us from Dave Starkey. But the true MVP of the bash was Adam Styles, who predicted, ‘4-3 with Willy Styles getting the GWG for the broom broom broom broom’. That’s four broom emojis for those keeping count at home. The commitment to the bit is admirable.
Alex comes up with serious insight concerning Buds! ‘Just feel like Marner’s gonna have a big night,’ which left no words, just coup d’état heart and leaf emojis because why not? And let’s not forget the icon that is MBrenner with ‘Get your broom ready Killer! Leafs 4-2’. Apparently, the broom motif is very strong with this fanbase.
What draws in most minds is how many people made particular calls for specific players to wake up. Kraulenth was going berserk on ‘Gonna be a willy Nylander night, baby!!’, while Eric F talked out the hits of #22, #29 and #88 like he was reading the lineup sheet for memory. Real truth, Brother.

In the end, sweep or blown, it doesn’t matter-one thing resounds this loud-Leafs Nation rides that emotional rollercoaster hard, whether you are part of team sweep or team ‘they’ll find a way to blow it’. The passion in these replies could power ACC for a week. Gilmour knew exactly what he was doing throwing this question out there, and these responses are proof that hockey twitter remains undefeated in chaotic energy. Now we just wait to see whose prediction comes true when the puck drops, no pressure or anything.
