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

[McDrai]

It’s called the Canadian tax. Be prepared to pay the price come playoff time when facing an American team

 

[Menzinger]

That Knies penalty would have been a light call for a regular season game

 

[Svencouver]

Interesting that Buccigross is calling the Canadian games. He's arguably the worst ESPN play by play guy. With Weekes too who isn't very good either

i miss emerick and hughson so much you have no f***ing idea

 

[Matt24]

Barely contact on the gloves, but keeping your stick parallel so long makes you look guilty.

Maybe ref shouldn’t be making calls on assumptions.

 

[MoreMogilny]

Bad call, official bought the reaction by the Bolts players.

Yup. Tampa player throws his arms up and that was enough

 

[JadedLeaf]

Great save by Sammy

 

[Puckstop40]

The way Kucherov is able to sell that shot/pass is insane. Great save by Samsonov.

 

[Mike C]

As always, the question isn't can the leafs beat the lightning. It's can they beat the lightning AND the refs?

Yep. We know they're good at beating themselves!

 

[Edgelord]

good kill

Get real. Maybe Canadian teams need to attract better free agents.

 

[TMLeafer]

A phantom hook to go along with the phanton slash and crosscheck last game

 

[snowkiddin]

Samsonov inspires absolutely no confidence

Nah this is just what typically happens when facing the Lightning when they are losing PP after PP until they even the score.

They've been calling that all year. Maybe not consistently, but that's NHL reffing.

 

[Just Rude]

Well maybe the Lightening can equalize the rosters tonight….

Oooooooo. A tough guy.

 

[Matt24]

The call would be fine if that was the standard the whole game but it won’t be.

 

[Edgelord]

my prediction is every series will be 1-1 after tonight except Canes-Isles

 

[RMF5630]

A phantom hook to go along with the phanton slash and crosscheck last game

Yeah, poor Toronto everyone is against them. It is a huge conspiracy. Your tin foil hat is too tight.

 

[Here I Pageau Again]

Just start the list now for post game in case Leafs don't win

 

[Skolman]

They've been calling that all year. Maybe not consistently, but that's NHL reffing.

No no, the refs have an agenda against the Leafs! Where have you been?

 

[Morlu]

Samsonov inspires absolutely no confidence

He looks a lot better tonight. He was flipping everywhere early last game.

 

[Metroid]

What happened to to playoffs hockey and let them play? Lol

 

[Auston Marlander]

Bogosian with a dominant fight win there.

For sure, his face definitely hurt Gios hand. That's a win in my book!

 

[authentic]

Cheap call for playoffs tbh

That's a standard penalty for Leafs against Tampa. If we score a powerplay goal they are guaranteed to get a powerplay within a minute. Happened after both our PP goals last game.

 

[Edgelord]

The lightening cry more then any team in the NHL.

yup, its like its their special power
