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

[Maelmoor]

Cole missed practice too, but should be okay for today

Leafs 7
Tamper Bay 3

There's no way the Lightning can win without Cernak, Hedman & Jeannot.

Yeah, the Leafs stars have a golden opportunity to just score at will, even if Hedman draws in (he would be pretty banged up). Simply put, if the Leafs lay an egg, then they should just blow up the core and trade everyone.

 

[The Grim Reaper]

Bunting suspended for the rest of the series, that's rough.

Going to be a tough one on D but at least they have a couple of vets to step in.
Sergachev better have a good supply of oxygen at the bench. He’s going to have to play huge minutes again!

They won on Tuesday without Hedman and Cernak.

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

 

[All Mod Cons]

Win or lose for the Leafs, at least the refs are a sensible choice.

 

[WetcoastOrca]

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

Plus the bad bounces and Bettman and the cap cheating and the low Canadian dollar and high Canadian taxes and the blatant copying of the Leafs colours by Tampa to confuse Leaf players into turning the puck over plus the CN Tower crew using Tampa’s colours for lighting.
Not to mention that the Leafs have lost Bunting while Tampa has a full lineup except for a couple of depth D.
A classic David vs Goliath fight.

 

[JoVel]

McCauley is a tough loss but Tampa is just gonna have to push through it.

 

[Johnny HFBOARDS]

Time to get down with sum serious Tranta hockeys

Get the shots in now folks because the GDT will be pretty empty later today. Leafs are going to look like the team from the past 82 games and not whatever last game was tonight.

Leafs about to string together some wins. Thinking at least 3 in a row, don't think anyone beats Tampa 4 in a row. Think the series is wrapped up in Tampa game 6

You better not disappear after another leafs loss.

 

[De Montreal]

Last Marner game in Toronto?

 

[HockeyVirus]

We'll see where you are when they win.

But I mean, I disappear because the mains are celebrating like the Leafs were swept after 10 minutes of game 1 nevermind just game 1 itself. You want to have a conversation or debate I am here for it, not going to waste my time getting 20 laughing face reactions to my post saying the series is far from over.

 

[LTIR Trickery]

Ooooh lots of victims in here today

 

[Johnny HFBOARDS]

Leafs fans watch Elon Musk’s SpaceX Starship rocket launch.

I would say injuring Tampa's top 2 dmen kind of levels it out no? If neither come back, that is an asterisk first round series win right there.

Yeah if we cant beat them without their top 2 defenders we deserve to lose

You mean like how Montreal beating the Leafs without Tavares is an asterisk first round series win too?

 

[PuckG]

Starting with “The Comeback Story” feels like bad juju.

 

[LawManN]

I hope... no, I PRAY that there is an iffy call against the Leafs, and it leads to a Tampa game winning goal.
My god... the Toronto fan reactions are more entertaining than the playoff hockey itself!
And I am not even kidding on that last part....

 

[McJC]

Pretty much a must win for the Leafs. If they lose tonight, I don't see them winning 4 of 5. I think they pull it out

 

[I Hate Philadelphia]

Reports coming out that Furlatt's neighbor's step grandson once beat Sheldon Keefe's son in a game of Call of Duty and sent him a mean Xbox message after.

It is incredible that the league continues to allow these massive conflicts of interests in games solely because they want to screw over the Leafs.

You think the Leafs “injured” Hedman? What a genius.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

if the Leafs can't beat a team without Cernak and Hedman in the line-up then they should just move the franchise
