GDT: 4/18/23 - 7:30PM EDT - #3 Tampa Bay @ #2 Toronto [ECQF GAME 1]

[DFC]

They didn't acquire enough players obviously



I doubt we see any of Hedman, Cernak and Eyssimont back tonight. Would bet on both Hedman and Cernak coming back unless Cernak is concussed. Eyssimont likely is.

I think Cernak will be okay, but they'll sit him as long as they can. Didn't like how wobbly Eyssimont looked. That one might be a concussion.

Murray...?

Matt Murray. He's in the Press Box tonight coaching them up.

 

[RDTBay4]

Bunting better get a suspension for that. Probably knocked Cernak out for at least a game.

 

[Major4Boarding]

Anyone know what the NHL record would be for the single most front office and coaching staff departures from an organization in an offseason?

 

[Hoek]

Leafs pushed back hard, scored twice.... And the Bolts STILL extended their lead lmao

 

[AlwaysSunnyInTampa]

Don't worry guys, Samsonov is better than Murray

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

We're definitely facing Woll next game. No way back for Samsonov from this.

Canadian sports writers and tv personalities probably already calling for Samsonov's head

 

[Felonious Python]

We're going to get game managed so hard in Game 2...

 

[FinnLightning26]

I think we actually need two hands to count the number of buzzer beaters we've had in the playoffs since 2015. I can think of at least four immediately (TyJo vs. MTL, Coleman vs. MTL, the two tonight), and if you consider Kucherov against the Islanders in 2021 to be one as well...goodness.

That Johnson goal against Montreal is still one of my favourite goals in Lightning history. I remember going absolutely crazy.

 

[Wester]

Okay sportsnet showed an angle it was across the line

This. I was thinking the exact same thing.

 

[StaySalty]

What can we say?
Perfect answer after the 2 TOR goals. It's huge not to allow them to be in the game.
Let's play good also in the third

This was huge. I felt a massive momentum swing every one and their mother seen it. That is typically the type of thing that causes the script to flip and to blow the game. They clamped down. Big statement

 

[EmptyNetAssassin]

Time to put the emergency goalie in and save the back ups confidence for game 2. Bunting is a POS the nhl better do the right thing and suspend him for a few games.

Don't forget the crème de la crème

 

[Stormbreaker]

How about our 2 rookie d-men holding it down.

Yes that was a big statement for our guys.
Because after their 2nd goal...an eventual 3rd one would have been lethal for us.
So, they did the perfect thing!

 

[Five Alarm Fire]

Any updates on Hedman or Cernak?

 

[Wester]

Lalonde saying if needed Maroon will be the one to go play D

 

[The don godfather]

I agree that was dirty and I'm a bruins fan.

 

[FinnLightning26]

Lalonde saying if needed Maroon will be the one to go play D

I don't know what to think about that. I hope it doesn't come to that lol.

 

[EmptyNetAssassin]

Clearly a goal and Leafs fans saying it didn't cross the line. Bunting is a POS.

 

[Wester]

I don't know what to think about that. I hope it doesn't come to that lol.

He said we already did it in the past lol
