The Toronto Maple Leafs pulled off a major surprise by snagging their second consecutive 2-1 win without their star player, Auston Matthews, forcing a decisive Game 7 at TD Garden.

William Nylander stole the show, and it was a moment for the history books. After missing the first three games of the series, he came back with a vengeance, netting both goals in the Leafs' 2-1 victory.

In those final minutes of the third period, Nylander blasted down the ice on a breakaway and buried the puck past Bruins goalie Jeremy Swayman. It was pure magic, and the crowd went wild.

What really added to the excitement is Joe Bowen's legendary call. That man knows how to pump up a crowd! If you haven't heard it yet, do yourself a favor and check out the video. His enthusiasm is infectious!

As fans have said, It's criminal that Joe Bowen can't call a TV game. You can't replicate that passion with neutral broadcasters. There is nothing better than a Joe Bowen call of a big Leafs playoff goal.



If the Leafs keep up this momentum, we could be in for another unforgettable call on Bowen's part as they look to slay their demons. So mark your calendars and tune in on Saturday night – it's bound to be a game you won't want to miss!
