now we're cooking in tampa! Great game

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

holy shit, if that was on purpose

 

[Johnny HFBOARDS]

Lighting, Leaf!

 

[koyvoo]

I don't think it would translate in the playoffs to be honest. Tampa is hardly trying, and they've still been the better team tonight

I generally don’t buy that pro athletes don’t try their hardest.

Even if Tampa is so far out in front, the entire team knows that playing vs the leafs is one of the measuring sticks in the east. If there’s any game over the past few that they should be up for, it should be this one.

I think Tampa isn’t use to teams attacking them as much as they themselves attack. That’s something that may adjust itself over a 7 game series, but it just seems this isn’t an optimal matchup for Tampa.

What a pass by pajama boy

 

[JoVel]

Two fanned shots and two goals. Boo.

I wouldn't say Tampa is letting the Leafs win or anything, but you can't expect a team to put in 100% effort for 60 minutes in every game. especially a team like Tampa that has no real motivation to win other than pride. they've looked a bit sloppy and off all night

To be fair Marner was passed a rocket and an empty net to put it in too lol

 

[Del Preston]

Wagner

 

[sadpanda]

Looked away for a few mins in this tampa - leafs game. We got some goals I see

 

[Steeze]

Forget Gardiner, Nylander should be the one getting boos.

 

[ALEXIVICH CHULKATURI]

You know you have a good team on your hands when they give up their first goal 48 minutes into a game and you utter 'why the f*** did that just happen'...

 

[Bounces R Way]

And about 1 minute 37 seconds for Toronto to retake the lead.

On a scale of 1-

how comfortable are you with that lead?

 

[bukwas]

Some high end skill on display in Tampa tonight.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

it may as well be 5 on 0 with how ineffective the PK is

 

[Pongs21]

That Niku shift, damnn

 

[The Macho King]

Is this where I say that the Leafs are lucky to be in this one? Because Andersen has been pretty sick.

 

[T REX]

Andersen has been phenomenal

 

[Steeze]

Geez, Tampa has such a wealth of options.

 

[ref19]

Wild score. Ref waves it off and “the call on the ice stands” wow that was a clear goal.

5v5 it's been pretty close to even....Your PP has definitely tilted things though.

 

[c9777666]

Isn't this guy calling the NBCSN game the Caps radio broadcaster?

 

[Advanced stats]

Toronto - Tampa is one of the better games I've seen lately

 

[La Masse]

Not even close to as dominant as Vasi was last game

 

[JoVel]

This is where you assume that this is the way Toronto always plays and Andersen is the only player to be taken seriously. Doesn't hurt either if you say how easily we'd win them in the playoffs.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Leafs have been better at 5v5, but that Tampa PP is a nightmare
