Just saw it live.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

LOL Ullmark. Love that he went for it when they were up by 1. Usually they only try when up by multiple goals

Beautiful shot

 

[Dr C]

We may have to reevaluate our trade deadline priorities……

….. we need more offensive production from our goalies

 

[BallardEra]

Ullmark has one more goal than Drouin now:

ya but Ullmark has played more minutes

 

[leafsfan5]

Boston has had quite literally everything go for them this year

That luck will run out in round 2

 

[Bomber0104]

Yeah so that about wraps up the Vezina for Ullmark

Nice to own him, Sorokin, and Swayman this year in my big-money keeper league, let me tell ya

Last time I remember a GD like this was when Tampa had +103 and got bounced by Columbus. Boston might hit a GD of 120+ by the end of the season.

Nobody will ever beat that GD of +216 that the Habs got:

They're a great team, running laps around the league in the regular season

But the playoffs are different, and they are in the toughest division in hockey. Either of TB/TOR will be tough matchups for them

Isn't this the story that's constantly told of the Leafs?!

Why are you doomsaying what the Bergeron-led Bruins can or can not do in the playoffs?

As history has shown, they know how to handle both the regular season and the playoffs.

Turn that judgment a full 180 degrees back onto the Leafs, because that's been the exact problem why the Leafs haven't advanced past the first round since 2004.

Yes it is, but I'm also not picking the Leafs to win in round 1, I have TB in 7.

Vasi tonight has put on a clinic 43 saves on 43 shots...I hope we dont see this guy in round 1, and we get the Wish version lol

Scariest playoff player in the league, I hate that we have to face him again smh

This is my biggest worry about playing Tampa. On the flipside I've also seen Samsonov allowing back breaking goals in the playoffs.

Just gotta figure that for once it works out in the Leafs favour.

This is why I prefer them actually starting on the road. Think they'd have a bit less pressure especially if they lost the first game.

kinda hoping we get the version that lost to Buffalo not the one im watching tonight lol

Over the past years whenever there is this unstoppable team in the regular, they end up not winning the Cup. The Nucks in 2011, Caps and TB a few yrs ago.

I remember that 1995-96 Detroit team going 62-13-7 that season and losing to the Avs in the Conference Finals.

Tampa looked mid tonight. Vasi aint shutting us down like that. No chance in f***.

yup Detroit had the puck all night, just dominated.... Vasi was the X factor

idk, Price did it to us before and Vasi is a better goalie

We just need to get to Vasi early like we did last year. Don't give him time to get into a rhythm because when he does it's over. Florida learned that last year

I think the leafs broke you lol, you used to be so much more confident, I guess these playoff loses can break any ones spirit, I had tampa in 4 last year, this year im going leafs in 6! might even give the head a shave, and shave after every game, just to try to reverse the curse!

Also 124 point Detroit team in 2006 that lost to Edmonton in the 1st round.
Sometimes when everything goes right in the regular season, luck 180s at a horrible time.
