Game 2 - The Comeback Story - Leafs vs Lightning 7pm EST - SN, ESPN, CBC, TVAS, BSUN

[Mikeaveli]

I would be very surprised if Tampa wins with this defence

 

[RMF5630]

Tampa's defense will be fine, they have Bogosian.

A true leader

Raddysh stepped up. Let's see if he is for real.

 

[jcs0218]

I don't see any real chance of the Lightning winning this game, unless either Vasilevskiy totally steals the game or Samsonov totally blows the game. Maybe need a combination of those two things.

 

[BMOK33]

If you told me last summer the Bolts would ice Nicklaus Perbix, Darren Darrysh and Haydn Fleury in Game 2 of the playoffs, the first two words out of my mouth would've been "who" and "what?"

Didn't the Hawks consistently keep running no name forwards out there who would score game winning goals from 2012-16? Its basically the same thing but on the blueline

 

[DFC]

He is intimidated by Matthews

Chris Johnston reported at the pregame that Hedman didn't look close to 100%. I think rumors of groin or back are probably true. Easy to tweak without anybody seeing when it happened.

Raddysh stepped up. Let's see if he is for real.

It's like the 18th game of his career. If he's for real or not, I doubt it gets decided tonight.

 

[Outl4w]

Tike to get revenge for Cernak on the scoreboard and the body count. Jeannot is bringing the pain train to Toronto. I believe in the boys and Torontos ability to choke away an advantage.

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Must win for Toronto. If their stars come out flat again and lose to this depleted Tampa lineup then the series is effectively over. Vasi may need to keep the Bolts in this.

 

[Frenchy]

Play Ball !!

 

[Megustaelhockey]

Play Ball !!

Hey, it's Enrico Palazzo!

 

[BMOK33]

LOL I love Weekes and Buccigross but man they are not meant to be a play by play and color guy in game at all.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Probably the biggest game of the Leafs' cores lives. Don't see how they're all there next year if they lose this series. Do they show up and play like it or is this just another Thursday for MM and 34


They gonna find out tonight about Nick Perbix

 

[kwichang]

Yep, agree

 

[ShippinUpToBoston]

Weak call

 

[Frenchy]

early PP goal 1-0 !

 

[Panthaz89]

I'm surprised they were arguing with an open ice trip.

 

[Mez]

This series is like 80% special teams lol.

 

[HockeyVirus]

"Come Back story"

hahahahahahaha

Leafs are gonna lose 10-0

enjoy getting swept.

 

[bov]

Could see that coming a universe away.

 

[notsocommonsense]

Leafs get the start they badly needed

 

[BMOK33]

I feel as if Tampa just sometimes tries to lose playoff games intentionally, this may be one of those nights...its like he did not even make an attempt to stop that shot

 

[WarriorofTime]

That’s game.

 

[Spring in Fialta]

Perfect start for Toronto.

 

[Porkleaker]

Well, Leafs win. GG, have fun

 

[King Woodballs]

Lol no penalty for shooting half a hour after the whistle went. Cool

 

[Hynh]

Leafs better be careful scoring that early on a PP, Tampa might magically not commit any penalties for the rest of the game.
