GDT: Stanley Cup Playoffs - Round 1: Leafs Vs Bolts; May 2nd. 7:30 p.m. EST

[Griffin76]

I wouldn't mess with this.

I'd actually be scared if I was the guy who pissed Engvall off. The quiet guys are nasty when they snap.

 

[ACC1224]

No point for Mitch on the kampf goal???

Should be. I heard one announced

 

[MarMarSab3]

Man Brodie muzzin have looked goooood

Our weakest pairing tonight is the Reilly Boosh pairing, yet they haven't been bad either

 

[PromisedLand]

Just don't engage in any extracurricular BS from tampa. We got 4 goal lead lets keep the confidence of our boys especially our goalie high.

Protect Campbell at all cost though. Keep em out of the crease. Just 20 more mins; play well and 1 out of 16 is out of the way.

 

[57 Years No Cup]

Love that anger from Engvall

Yes.

 

[fahad203]

impressed with blackwell. it's clifford who needs to sit. what's the point of him anyway, to bully tampa's 4th line?

That hit got to everyone's feet. Sure he went overboard but the intent was right
You play him again. If we win, you make not changes

 

[Carltons Cup]

If Engvall swings his neck around, its lights out for Hagel

 

[alliuk12]

Up 3-0, the most dangerous lead in hockey and I wasn't even that worried.

Atta boy Marner!!!!

Try 4 to nothing dose it make a difference

 

[Seras]

close game, could go either way

 

[Mess]

Leafs making the Cup champs Lightning look like a non playoff team tonight.

Great to have both Matthews and Marner get on the goal scoresheet early in game #1 and lets hope that momentum continues.

 

[TMLAM34]

Leafs can’t take their foot off the gas pedal. Tampa will come out hard in the third, they got too much pride not to.

 

[GrizzLeaf]

Best 2 periods of hockey this group has ever played.

Now just get through the third free of injury and suspensions.

I say you do it. Why not. Set the tone, we are not going to take bs
Engvall would have wrecked him

 

[Rocky Flintstone]

Unreal penalty killing

 

[bax]

Keep your foot on the gas boys. Bury these f***ers!!

 

[Guy Boucher]

By my count, they've hit or crosschecked Brodie behind the play at least 5 times so far.

They know Brodie is our best defender and are trying to wear him down by hitting him every shift with the refs not looking.

Exactly. If you're going to engage, let it be somebody like Simmonds, who knocks a couple teeth out of Hagel's head and makes taking the penalty, worth it.

 

[OVO16]

I feel bad for Simmonds and Blackwell. Hasn't been on the ice at all to make any physical statements cuz of all the special teams lmao

 

[The Masters]

Leafs look like a totally improved team. They saved their best for the playoffs.

Keefe took Nick Nurse's advice.

Really impressed. If they play like this they look unstoppable

 

[crump]

One shift, one period one game at a time. Keep up the pressure. Great game so far. Love the crowd tonight.

 

[The Management]

Probably the best game Marner has ever played. He has contributed at both ends of the ice.

 

[Doublerum1975]

Should be. I heard one announced

Nothing on tsn or sportsnet app

 

[Stolie the Goalie]

TWS is lurking on the mains. He's only interested in the Boston v Canes series tonight.

 

[Havoc]

That hit got to everyone's feet. Sure he went overboard but the intent was right

Yeah it's funny how we can't remove that hit from the game without risking changing this massive lead. That means he shouldn't be punished. Very unorthodox way to get your team in domination mode but it worked. If he's not suspended, fire him up game 2. Couple big clean hits might set the tone again.

 

[TMLAM34]

Agreed. Sure he went a little overboard but his physicality puts Tampa players on notice whenever he’s out on the ice. I’d ice Clifford - Blackwell - Simmonds again as our fourth line next game.
