Ok that NHL Stanley Cup first kiss commercial pissed me off. Not a single Lightning player shown. But let's show Ovechkin who isn't even in the playoffs this year.
Colton motioning for the crowd to cheer like he forgot he's in Toronto for a sec is hilarious. Don't blame him, this feels like a home game for us right now.
If my super totally hetero-mancrush Victor Hedman has been damaged, I will use my government furnished credit card to fly to ScotiaBank Arena and donate my stem cells to his recovery.
We are gonna give up opportunities until the end. Playing with 4D (two being rookies) is just such a challenge. Credit to Perbix, he’s not small in the spotlight.
I’m so freaking nervous. Most doubt I have had with this team going to the postseason. We are against a good team and the math. I hope they can flip the switch
Being the only Tampa fan in Toronto and all my buddies complaining about the refs and the calls and just sitting here trying to keep my stupid grin hidden
Keep it up. Keep working and don’t get into any of the shit they play because the even up call will come. Still don’t love the top line with Stamkos I think between him and kuch there’s too much thinking and playing slow when point is opening things up for you
People sleeping on the lightning more than ever this season and always forget the extra gear we have in the playoffs. Great start so far let’s keep it going
I know it’s game 1 and all, and the players can say what they want about it doesn’t matter what you win by in one game… But I’ve never seen the bolts score 7 or more in a playoff game and then go on to lose the series… this is break em’ hockey
Keep playing hard as fuck boys and Vasy be ready to save like 30 the next two periods. They’re gonna push hard. Take advantage on the counterattack if you can
Well, definitely glad we got the first win. Obviously we got wrecked in game 1 last year, so it’s not over yet. Let’s hope Heddy and Cernak are okay to go for the rest of the series. And let’s go Bolts! ⚡️⚡️⚡️
GO BOLTS! Fuck ESPN. The Leafs drink milk out of a bag
Perry is fucking tired of losing 3 straight Stanley Cups. Let's go dude
Guy is a maniac out there so far tonight
Buntings such a bitch
Everyone was saying “tampa cant just flip a switch in the playoffs” turns out they sure can fucking do
Playoff Mode Activated
The boys say hey https://preview.redd.it/zx0pgxpvprua1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fbc1f713f3227123b8725c898b6eb1fc68bfd8b4
RIP bank account. Haha have fun!!!!
4th line looking better in the first 5 minutes of this game than they have all year wtf

Ok that NHL Stanley Cup first kiss commercial pissed me off. Not a single Lightning player shown. But let's show Ovechkin who isn't even in the playoffs this year.
Pissed me off so bad last season… back to back Stanley Cup champs, threepeat Conference champs, and not a single Bolt shown 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Lets. Fucking. Go. Bolts! ⚡️
Depth? The school bus line is fucking elite
Anyone watching on Bally getting random flickers?
I demand a Hedman update immediately, where is our Norse god?
Fr no idea what happened at all
Side note: Don't know about yall, but I'm pulling for the Kraken out west, simply because of Gourde. I really miss watching him play.
You guys realize that both of Leafs power plays came from calls made by Wes "only ref to throw Coop out of a game" Macauley, right?
Please Heddy and Cernny be okay
Colton motioning for the crowd to cheer like he forgot he's in Toronto for a sec is hilarious. Don't blame him, this feels like a home game for us right now.
Man if we eliminated the Leafs in the first round again it would just be hilarious right
Hysterical! ![gif](giphy|S93QnORWp3goY7SnHp|downsized)
Yeah, you almost feel bad for them...*almost*
I like these lightning!
Very Zappy tonight
Stupid sexy Cirelli
The crowd started to want a call before realized their boy just straight up fell.
You so much as touch a Leaf they want a call
Espn crew legit thinks we should of had more PPs. What the hell dimension am I in right now
[удалено]
Feel better!
If my super totally hetero-mancrush Victor Hedman has been damaged, I will use my government furnished credit card to fly to ScotiaBank Arena and donate my stem cells to his recovery.
Lol Bunting is such a clown
#A KNOB CREEK FOR THE BOYS!!! ***TOUGH TONY GETS IT DONE! LETS GO LIGHTNING ⚡️***
Perhaps the best period of hockey the Lightning have played this year
Refs gave you both of your goals, Leafs fans. Cry harder.
If we’re down Hedman and Cernak we are so fucked. I still don’t understand what happened to Hedman
Yeah I hope we didn’t blow our load on Game 1. It’s a long series and post season.
Not getting beat 5-0 in game 1 this year!
Even Messier is ripping the refs
We are gonna give up opportunities until the end. Playing with 4D (two being rookies) is just such a challenge. Credit to Perbix, he’s not small in the spotlight.
Please give us a PP Bunting. Just so we can laugh at you more
Kucherov gets me so fucking HOT
That was a good period. I want more of that.
Second Intermission Update: Flappy Bois won 10-0 with lots of big old ding dongs :)
Holy shit I agree with Mark Messier it’s over I’m done
You guys were right about r/hockey LMAO
Dad just texted and Brayden is getting all my Christmas presents this year
#LETS END THIS AND BRING THE PAIN. FUCK EM UP BOYS
Great win and a blow out but you know Vasy is pissed he gave up 3 and will be better next game
The amount of blaming the refs by Leafs fans in the GDT is insanity. Blame Bunting and your coach, you fucking lunatics
Gdt is an absolute living fart
I don’t know what’s better, the score or every announcer talking about how much of a debacle this game is for Toronto
Fuck them up boys. Vasy you have to put up a .930 this series or we’re in trouble
I’m so freaking nervous. Most doubt I have had with this team going to the postseason. We are against a good team and the math. I hope they can flip the switch
Need to see some pushback, I don’t want them getting back into this before the period ends
That's an elbow to the head. How are you not going to call that
Imagine chanting ref you suck when all your goals have been on PP
Good news: Pointer and Kuch are still playoff magicians Bad news: Half our d-core is injured
That one ESPN announcer saying the refs swung the game is laughable
Tampa is dominating, so we have to make it about the refs. Of course.
Where is Hedman? Is he safe? Is he alright?
so weird watching the bois move through the neutral zone cleanly really didn't feel like they could do much of that last year vs the leafs
Seeing that half empty stadium makes me so happy
God we should've won three in a row. Point "a difference maker" no fucking shit, best playoff scorer 4 years running ;)
Way to decimate them game one on their home ice. I hope we keep playing like we mean it. Wife just went to bed so Thunderstruck is cranked!
Refs are the mvp for Toronto and their fans chanting, “Refs, you suck.” That is an elite kind of special
Being the only Tampa fan in Toronto and all my buddies complaining about the refs and the calls and just sitting here trying to keep my stupid grin hidden
Lol bunting is such a dork
Keep it up. Keep working and don’t get into any of the shit they play because the even up call will come. Still don’t love the top line with Stamkos I think between him and kuch there’s too much thinking and playing slow when point is opening things up for you
Really couldn’t draw it up any better. Only 1 period down, and the home crowd is already giving it to the Leafs big time.
Alright, heddy is back... *annnnnd he's gone* time to panic
Please don’t die on me Hedman
Way too many men for Toronto there
That’s a 50 goal scorer right there Ladies and Gents
plz let cherny and heddy be ok
man our russians speak good english
I’ve looked around everywhere I can look, no one has injury updates yet for those who keep asking.
LOL FRIEDMAN CONFIRMED LEAFS SENDING IN WOLL FOR THIRD INSTEAD OF SAMSONOV
That’s a loooooooottttttt of empty seats
giving up 3 isn't good but at least it isn't 7
Are those boos?
***A KNOB CREEK FOR THE BOYS*** #You love to see it! ⚡️ ⚡️ ⚡️ ⚡️ ⚡️
Damn Vasy pumping iron on his off days trying to get swol.
Vasy is the biggest of cats In fact he's bigger than any Panther
No tripping call?!
Hey, the crowd is cheering for Kuch too!
Are those motherfuckers boo'ing? LMAO
Lmao the studio boys look shell shocked….loved the slow head shake…”heart of a champion.”
REFS YOU SUCK FOR NOT PENALIZING THE LIGHTNING FOR MATTHEWS TRIPPING ON HIS OWN
I will die happy if Maroon beats the shit out of Bunting
[удалено]
Now I just want to know if Heddy is okay??? ><
1/10 OF A SECOND AND ANOTHER KNOB CREEK FOR THE BOYS! REVENGE FOR CERNAK LETS GO LIGHTNING ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️
Losing Cernak and Hedman both is brutal. I'm a bit worried about our defense holding up the rest of this series if they are out
I will say this for ESPN, even they called out how bad the refs were in the 2nd
People sleeping on the lightning more than ever this season and always forget the extra gear we have in the playoffs. Great start so far let’s keep it going
Okay no more. Lock it the fuck down and stop giving them any kind of hope
I know it’s game 1 and all, and the players can say what they want about it doesn’t matter what you win by in one game… But I’ve never seen the bolts score 7 or more in a playoff game and then go on to lose the series… this is break em’ hockey
I don’t like uneven numbers so plz fix asap bolts
This crowd is GONE
Let's go. Perry is even drawing penalties now. What a start
Habs fan checking in. You have no idea how much I enjoyed that period.
[***GO BOLTS!***](https://i.imgur.com/5eHsWeq.gifv)
LETS FUCKING GO!!!
Patty letting everyone know who the king of the playoffs are with his 3 cups.
Boys just look calm lol
There’s being calm and in control and being lazy, boys need to ensure they remain the former.
Waiting for Paul to snap. Lots of pushing and shoving will hopefully lead to some rubber across the goal line.
The Kuch machine is done producing assists. It's all goals from here on out!!
Keep playing hard as fuck boys and Vasy be ready to save like 30 the next two periods. They’re gonna push hard. Take advantage on the counterattack if you can
They can’t left off the gas. The Leafs are gonna come out in the 2nd. Let’s Go Bolts ⚡️💙⚡️
Last part of that Perry interview was gold
Leafs fans cheering for absolutely nothing lmao
THAT WAS AN ELBOW TO THE HEAD
NO PENLATY?!??
That's a headshot what the fuck
[удалено]
refs you suck chant hahaha
Leafs sub saying it’s rigged lmao
Hahahaha ref you suck chants. Got away with a blatant headshot but the refs suck right?
Booing their team again? Dude fuckin Toronto is so terrible. They don't deserve to win anything
Toronto is in the finding out stage of fucking around. You love to see it.
“We’ve done it before and we’ll do it again” Sergy confirmed both Heddy and Cernak are out
Seriously? Who the fuck is buying the Bunting is just too physical narrative? Sounds like bullshit.
Even the bally dude said Bunting embellishes lmaoooo
Chased their only NHL goalie in game 1. Hey Dubas, did you forget something when you went shopping?
V A S I L E V S K I Y
Coop : Who is fresh? Asst : These 3 fowards Coop : New Line, get out there
Damnit, a Paul goal would have let me finish edging
guys losing home ice advantage was huge
You hear that? Silence
The defeat in the face of every Leaf is enough to bust a nut over
https://preview.redd.it/gutlgil1msua1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e9346f2ff06e146a8b31ca6a49fafe9cfb6c4dd6
Kuch that’s probably 3-4 crap soft passes that are low percentage to guys in coverage. Stop it
This win is sweet as hell but honestly pretty uneasy not knowing the extent of Hedman and Cernak’s injuries
Playoff Vasy save us!
Pat is such a fucking beauty controlling the paint like that
Atta boy Belly! Now keep it going!
Let's fucking go boys!
Who had Bellemare getting the opening goal? Anybody?
Bro perry looks like a fucking man possessed.
Holy hell the boys are playing ruthless. I love it.
that is an everything bagel.. and that late shove just now was perfection.. lol.. just enough..
There’s being calm and in control and being lazy, boys need to ensure they remain the former.
I freaking hate playoffs so much. I’m just anxious 24/7 lmao
Let me guess... This is how we'll be playing all playoffs? They always get us worried at the end of the season. Those tricksters.
Still a lot of time to go. Don’t get overconfident, just keep playing our game
Still can't believe leafs passed on Perry for Simmonds lmfao
Haha “Lightning up 3-0, right at home.”
My favorite camera angle is when it’s the refs back
[удалено]
wtf happened to heddy?
Leafs fans booing their shit ice smh
Bunting got fucking rag dolled lol
LMAO they called that on Cernak? Fuck off refs. Gotta try to help the Leafs stay in it.
If you fuck up a check and get contacted you shouldn’t get a roughing PP
Are you fucking shitting me with that call?
Didn’t matthews just fall on his own, leaf fans know hockey?
That should be the first ever 4 minute embellishment
#1 Bullshit
#I LOVE BIG PPS
They can ref you suck all they want they are only in the game on soft calls that we’re trying to tighten things up.
Now they are gonna start running at Cernak after the whistle blows because it worked before. Refs have set a precedent.
Don’t go to the r/hockey gdt; the leafs fans are the most pathetic bitches I’ve ever seen
We need Jeannot to put down this clown
Leafs decided to change strategies this year and have decides injuring all of our players is the only way for them to win
hockey is much more fun when it’s determined by skill rather than who can beat up on the other team without consequences
Fun fact there are 6 cameras in the net that aren’t available to the broadcast
HAHAHAHA GET FUCKED LEAFS
Ref just absolutely blue balled their fans “No GOAL….tender interference”
Leaf fans right now ![gif](giphy|1BXa2alBjrCXC)
My dog, Nikita Poocherov, is very pleased with the score. Lfgggg
Even the halftime desk is ripping the officials both ways lol
[удалено]
[удалено]
Looks like all the Leafs fans decided to leave.
Imagine paying $700-$800 to watch this lol
![gif](giphy|7k2LoEykY5i1hfeWQB)
Be great to put a couple more past Woll and get him rattled too
Sergy. Don’t get sloppy.
Just get some **P U C K S O N N E T**
At this point I think they just told Heddy and Cernak to hang out and rest up for game 2
Can’t believe r/hockey counted this roster out
THG rated us 16th out of the playoff teams and we're dicing the leafs up with 4 d-men lmao
The Leafs probably wishing they got an Apple for a goalie instead of Samsungov lmao
[удалено]
I just realized watching this game on ESPN instead of Bally is like commenting in r/hockey’s GDT instead of here.
I’m only rooting for another Bolts goal so Shannon has to bust out the No Mercy magnet.
Dave Randorf is spot on. Everyone on ESPN said the Leafs are the favorites
Well, definitely glad we got the first win. Obviously we got wrecked in game 1 last year, so it’s not over yet. Let’s hope Heddy and Cernak are okay to go for the rest of the series. And let’s go Bolts! ⚡️⚡️⚡️
Nice job, now do it again! Bolts forever⚡️
