GDT: Game 3 - Leafs vs Lightning

[Oliewud]

GREAT PERIOD PP TO START THE 2ND LETS GO LEAFS

 

[TheDoldrums]

Beautiful period! Step on their throats with a pick PP goal to open the 2nd

 

[93gilmour93]

Tampa losing its composure big time.

so is this the 'toughness' that we should be afraid of now that we don't have clifford and simmonds in the lineup?

 

[Budz]

That’s us!!!

 

[Morgs]

Mitch is the best player in the series so far. The gap between him and whoever #2 has been is massive. I've never seen him look THIS good

 

[Morlu]

Tampas been getting away with so much interference. I’m glad the refs aren’t calling cheesy penalties on us tonight (yet).

 

[HamiltonNHL]

Cernack gets the penalty for elbowing the ref in the face.

 

[SeaOfBlue]

Keefe took a bet on the refs and his guys not backing down without Simmonds/Clifford in the lineup.

So far it is paying off.

Also funny that the fans are booing some missed calls but it was actually Tampa who were committing them. That thing on Brodie was Foote holding Brodie and falling when Brodie tried to skate away. Also a bunch of high sticks they are trying to fake (not the Lyubushkin one, that was legit) to get the refs to call it their way. Refs have been great so far not falling for that crap and not letting cheap crap go.

 

[Nylanderthal]

Didn’t realize how dirty Killorn is until this series. WTF was that garbage

 

[Crazy Monkey]

They actually called a penalty for the third man in. Wow

 

[RomanianLeafs]

Shocking but the refs have been great so far...so far

 

[Maplebeasts]

Good first period. Our breakout leaves a lot to be desired with one less skilled D back there but we're playing some great hockey.

 

[Wendelstache]

couldn't ask for a better period in tampa, keep up the intensity and limit the mistakes boys.

finally some fair reffing.

 

[makbeer]

Tampa just trying to be bullies now they have given up on skating with us.

 

[tmlms13]

Is it a PP? Bonsie and Ralph said it's going to be 4 on 4

 

[Cor]

Other than a couple of minutes there we controlled that entire period. Great to see

 

[ruaware41]

gonna be honest that's a soft call to make.

I think if they can do this they win:
1) Don't lose faceoffs cleanly in the defensive zone.
2) Don't make bad turnovers in the neutral zone.

 

[GardinerTheForward]

Lets keep it going

 

[MarnerElite]

They need to stop this "let's just defend" shit. Leafs haven't done well when they just collapse back and watch other teams take shots(especially screened).

 

[leafsfan5]

Considering our top line got caved in this is great

Depth guys have done very well

 

[therealkoho]

Our powerplay needs to make them pay.

Be a great way to start the 2nd for sure

 

[Havoc]

boosh gotta be top 5 in conn smythe votes after that period

 

[Jmo89]

You can stick up for yourself without taking dumb penalties. Great period.
