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

[Sergei Shirokov]

Best period any team has ever played.

Agreed. They should consider handing out the cup tonight.

 

[hockeyisgud]

I mean I'm drinking but this is NOT day drinking wtf

 

[HockeyVirus]

Nah, I do it all the time.

It all makes sense now

 

[Channelcat]

Ron McLean is utterly unbearable

 

[BurnabyJoe7]

How soon until Kucherov throws a tantrum? I think we'll see it at the start of the third.

 

[Divine]

I want to see what the intelligent people think of why this isn't a late hit:

That's clean but don't touch Perry after he gives your goalie a late snow shower

 

[EmptyNetAssassin]

Leafs fault that Hedman is soft as baby shit? Playoffs and his widdle back hurts. Dudes like 6'7 suck it up

How many back to back cups do the leafs have in the last 50 years? 3 Stanley cup appearances in a row and two cups takes a toll on the body. Something the leafs would not know anything about in this century.

 

[Daximus]

You should have been here on Tuesday lmao

Like I said Tampa fans can gloat. They are already playing with house money taking game 1 in Toronto after missing 2 top 4 dmen. They'd love to be heading back to Tampa tied. Leafs fans always do this shit and then wonder why everyone on this board takes every opportunity they can get to throw it back in their faces.

 

[Strangle]

I want to see what the intelligent people think of why this isn't a late hit:

Dangerous and very dirty hit. The league should look at this.

Looks like Holl was very close to going head first into the boards on a dirty hit

 

[StorminSnvechnAho]

Sure, it is just the end of the first. Miracles on Manchester happen every once in a while. It doesn't have to be the Leafs either.

I'm not even picking but heart breaking playoff collapse is synonymous with "Maple Leafs" for a while now but yeah agreed, I tempered my own expansions given injures I'd be extremely surprised to make it past game 6 of round two.

 

[pcruz]

never one to really jump on reffing, but the leafs are getting hit with some pretty lame calls and some brutal non-calls, and that maroon hit on holl is a good example. holy.

Sorry.

You can't do that.
Just by stating that as a matter of fact makes you a teary-eyed Leaf fan and open to hostility

 

[Dirty Dan]

This series is over, the leafs are rolling now

 

[Leaf Fans]

Very possible but man it's a little early to be gloating. It's gonna come back ten fold if they fail.

Leafs win a period and some of you guys are about to pop open the champagne.

Others are vomiting Tuesdays champane back in the bottle. Most people unserstand that it is a series though.

 

[Just Rude]

Do you guys ever stop crying about the refs?

My god

Someone crying about people crying. On an internet message board.

Define irony.

 

[RMF5630]

The Leafs fans need to stop whining about the refs and the Lightning fans need to stop acting like their team isn’t going to stir the pot at the end of this game if it’s ending in a blowout. Call it like it is.

I would be disappointed in the 3rd if the Bolts are still down bad that they didn't go out and start sending a message for game 3. I would also expect Point, Stamkos and Kuech to start playing less minutes to not expose them to the Leaf thugs.

 

[Skolman]

That's clean but don't touch Perry after he gives your goalie a late snow shower

He literally punched him in the face...

 

[pcruz]

Dangerous and very dirty hit. The league should look at this.

Looks like Holl was very close to going head first into the boards on a dirty hit

Let me say this again, for the 3rd of 4th time today:

The league and the NHLDoPS doesn't give a f*** about player safety.

They care about image and liability.

 

[authentic]

Do you guys ever stop crying about the refs?

My god

Do you guys ever stop crying about people crying about the refs?

My god

 

[AvsFan29]

3 goal lead? This game is OVER!

 

[93gilmour93]

 

[Divine]

He literally punched him in the face...

A face wash, happens all the time

Punch in the face? Were his gloves off?

 

[Edgelord]

This series is over, the leafs are rolling now

why you do this??????.
Dude the game isn't even over,

 

[Strangle]

Like I said Tampa fans can gloat. They are already playing with house money taking game 1 in Toronto after missing 2 top 4 dmen. They'd love to be heading back to Tampa tied. Leafs fans always do this shit and then wonder why everyone on this board takes every opportunity they can get to throw it back in their faces.

“Always do this shit”?

I’m sorry bro, I’m going to cheer for my team. If that upsets you, you might need meditate on that for awhile

 

[stats1]

I bet Leaf’s get a penalty within the first 2 mins of the 2nd. You know the refs have to “manage” the game and not let the speed and skill of Toronto become an advantage wouldn’t want that

 

[PeE eL DuBoiS]

Dang you guys are making it hard not to pull for you lol. I hate Tampa. If I root for you and you guys win the series keep the our time is now threads under 30.

This Leafs team hasn't won anything. I stopped getting my hopes up about "our time" after losing to Montreal. Enjoy a win but it doesn't mean a damned thing until it actually happens and you can add 4 more. Then try doing it again against the next team before getting excited.
