Back to back nights now in this series the team up 3-0 has blown the lead to be forced into overtime.

And for a second straight night but in even more dramatic fashion the Toronto Maple Leafs not only found a way to rally but avoided elimination and have fought to live another day for a winner take all game 5 Sunday.

It all started with William Nylander getting in position in front of the net and pushing home a rebound to get the Maple Leafs on the board:

Then John Tavares rips a shot into the top shelf from the slot to bring the Maple Leafs within one late in the 3rd period:

Zach Hyman scored with 22.2 seconds left in the 3rd period to force overtime and keep the Maple Leafs alive:

Auston Matthews scores a power-play goal against the Columbus Blue Jackets to complete the comeback victory 4-3 and force a game 5:

And just like that after two incredible games full of unbelievable endings we will have to wait till Sunday to see who ultimately takes the series…..

I grew up playing Ball and Roller Hockey day and night somewhat religiously throughout elementary and middle school. The two don't compare though when I lace up the skates and hit the ice. I live and breathe hockey beyond the perspective of "it's just a game" and I will gladly talk hockey for hours with anyone. Hockey is more than just a lifestyle, it's a culture of passionate people who make memories every time the puck is dropped. Hockey has not only helped me get through some of the hardest times in life but has created some of the best memories to date. Want to talk hockey with me? Shoot me an email: iburdetskiy@hookedonhockey.com and let's talk some hockey!
