GDT: Toronto Maple Leafs vs. Tampa Bay Lightning | Game #1 Tuesday @ 7:30pm | Legacy

[Jojalu]

Kampf penalty was a phantom and Schenn I still can't process waht that was

Schenn call was atrocious. That happens every 3 minutes

 

[definedMF]

Isn't the biggest concern here Samsonov, Matthews and Marner. Those fe, especially are tender have been dreadful.

You can be beat clean but these goals, especially goal 1 and 6 should not have counted.

 

[rocketman588]

tbf it looked to me he expected Cernak to lean into him as well and battle for the puck and instead Cernak went directly for it and ate it in the face.

Still was directly to the head and will be games, sucks for Bunting, but he needs to be more aware.

I mean he also raised his elbow so I don't know. Could have been a mistake but looked stupid

 

[CelticDruid]

I still can't get over Keefe's goaltender interference.

Wasn't even close.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

I don't get it. Why the HELL is biased as hell Wes McCauly reffing this series instead of someone else? Of ALL the refs available they have to give us THIS POS to ref these games?

The league is just rubbing the Leafs and our noses in it. No respect at all. We can be as cordial as possible, agree to do stupid crap like the Amazon series to grow the league’s brand, and the league will still go out of their way to f*** us.

Won’t change until the team inevitably starts losing money and the lost revenue starts hurting Gary’s precious American markets.

 

[TorMapleJays]

bunting likely suspended for the rest of the series.

At least Knies will get in

 

[Leafblooded]

might even get a lifetime ban, maybe he can drive a golf ball over 400 yards! and go win on the tour

Banned from earth forever. Executed. Shot out of a cannon into the ocean with no raft. First human put in orbit with no suit. Actually second since Kadri. What a joke.

MLSE doesn't care.

 

[saffronleaf]

the national talking about random shit what about the biggest strike in like ever. i guess CBC has to protect the government's narrative at all costs.

cbc being irrelevant what's new

 

[Contenderorpretender]

The ghosts of leafs disappointment must be hunting is cause the refs are making phantom calls

 

[hockeyes]

Tampa is a greasy team and knows how to play the refs. The Leafs are just the younger sibling too stupid to know how to hide their retaliation and get sent to their room to cry. Absolute morons top to bottom in this organization if this is the best strategy and mental composure they could put together.

 

[Menzinger]

Both penalties looked like the officials were looking for something. 50/50 on Kampf at best.

And again, right before the Kampf call there was a blatant interference from a Tampa guy. if they're going to make one soft call, they should at least make two

 

[horner]

We are losing this game hit to hurt Sergachev ever chance you get .
Get in Vasi grill every time we can .

 

[notbias]

Leafs have ZERO 5 on 5 goals and the coach hasn't done dick all to adjust while Tampa has 2 even strength goals

blame the refs all you want; leafs' evenstrength play has been garbage and all of it is on Keefe

Never the players

 

[Torontonian]

On to game 2, 7 PP and bad goaltending is as bad as your going get, gotta hope Hedman and Cernak miss some gamss

 

[klmdg]

bunting likely suspended for the rest of the series.

I would have gone with hopefully instead of likely

 

[Future]

Just another in a long line of conflicts of intrest playing out in real time. This league doesnt give a f*** about integrity. Pathetic bush league.

Very true. But I don't mind making money off of it - considering the result was written before the series began.

 

[frizzer1]

The caps dropped samsanov because he played poorly during the playoffs.
Regular season has been great.
He is not the reason they are losing but you have to be concerned.

 

[Statsman1]

What line? That view had no line.

Tragically, I cannot rewind my feed for a screenshot for you, but right at the beginning of the 2nd intermission, the HNIC crew showed a clear video of the puck going over the goal line as described.

 

[Budz]

Beat them up in the third. Bury the tape. Come out hard in game 2.

Knock out Wes McCaulley.

 

[CabanaBoy5]

This should be Buntings last game as a Leaf. Absolutely inexcusable clown show. Whe took us right out of the game. A 2 goal deficit was manageable with a strong third period

 

[The Management]

Well. There is almost nothing to like about this game:

1) Sluggish start, dig ourselves a big hole;

2) The call on Kampf, the non-call on Paul, which led to a penalty which killed our momentum just as we were narrowing the scoring gap;

3) Bunting taking a stupid, frustrating penalty;

4) Samsonov looking real shakey, poor rebound control, all over the net;

5) Brodie and Giordano both look rough;

6) No offense from Matthews or Marner;

7) Keefe making no adjustments after the first period.

O'Reilly looks good. Nylander had a nice goal. McCabe has looked good, playing physical. Good energy from the third line.

I can deal with most of the above, but what bothers me most is how the boys looked when the took to the ice in period one. It's the playoffs. Start on time and maybe the game doesn't spiral out of control.

 

[francis246]

Sportsbet will never call anything out.

As long as Ron Maclean is there they will never call out refs

 

[crump]

Weak calls on Schenn and Kampf, Bunting probably didn’t mean to hit his head but I kind of hope he gets suspended and Knies comes in. McCauley’s a douche. I’m yelling expletives at the TV, Leafs are playing like shit except on the PP, I shouldn’t be posting but I hate this shit. Where is Marner and Matthews?

 

[rocketman588]

I still can't get over Keefe's goaltender interference.

Desperation
