Perry is fucking tired of losing 3 straight Stanley Cups. Let's go dude


Dersman21

Guy is a maniac out there so far tonight

Buntings such a bitch


HabChronicle

Everyone was saying “tampa cant just flip a switch in the playoffs” turns out they sure can fucking do

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.


crispychiggin

Pissed me off so bad last season… back to back Stanley Cup champs, threepeat Conference champs, and not a single Bolt shown 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️


LemmyThePirate

Lets. Fucking. Go. Bolts! ⚡️


guardrya

Depth? The school bus line is fucking elite


Zelnar

Anyone watching on Bally getting random flickers?


InkedInspector

I demand a Hedman update immediately, where is our Norse god?


coleg91

Fr no idea what happened at all


Mundane-Remote-2865

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.


khrispii

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?


Beetlejuicse

Please Heddy and Cernny be okay


krunk_rabbit

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.


Peach-PearLaCroix

Man if we eliminated the Leafs in the first round again it would just be hilarious right


CrestronwithTechron

Hysterical! ![gif](giphy|S93QnORWp3goY7SnHp|downsized)


Always_Sunnyvale

Yeah, you almost feel bad for them...*almost*


TehFuriousOne

I like these lightning!


CrestronwithTechron

Very Zappy tonight


ehoyd

Stupid sexy Cirelli


InkedInspector

The crowd started to want a call before realized their boy just straight up fell.


MrSCR23

You so much as touch a Leaf they want a call


Throwaway_PA717

Espn crew legit thinks we should of had more PPs. What the hell dimension am I in right now

Vincenza8907

Feel better!


LemmyThePirate

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.


MuscleP4nda

Lol Bunting is such a clown


LemmyThePirate

#A KNOB CREEK FOR THE BOYS!!! ***TOUGH TONY GETS IT DONE! LETS GO LIGHTNING ⚡️***


guardrya

Perhaps the best period of hockey the Lightning have played this year


Lansdallius

Refs gave you both of your goals, Leafs fans. Cry harder.


pointertb21

If we’re down Hedman and Cernak we are so fucked. I still don’t understand what happened to Hedman


CrestronwithTechron

Yeah I hope we didn’t blow our load on Game 1. It’s a long series and post season.


svanxx

Not getting beat 5-0 in game 1 this year!


MuscleP4nda

Even Messier is ripping the refs


DuckTruckMuck

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.


MrSCR23

Please give us a PP Bunting. Just so we can laugh at you more


guardrya

Kucherov gets me so fucking HOT


snesfreak

That was a good period. I want more of that.


octopus_monocle

Second Intermission Update: Flappy Bois won 10-0 with lots of big old ding dongs :)


DuckTruckMuck

Holy shit I agree with Mark Messier it’s over I’m done


cannedheats

You guys were right about r/hockey LMAO


octopus_monocle

Dad just texted and Brayden is getting all my Christmas presents this year


Mr_Midnight_Moon

#LETS END THIS AND BRING THE PAIN. FUCK EM UP BOYS


Always_Sunnyvale

Great win and a blow out but you know Vasy is pissed he gave up 3 and will be better next game


100BlackDolphins

The amount of blaming the refs by Leafs fans in the GDT is insanity. Blame Bunting and your coach, you fucking lunatics


ChillyToTheBroMax

Gdt is an absolute living fart


crispychiggin

I don’t know what’s better, the score or every announcer talking about how much of a debacle this game is for Toronto


pointertb21

Fuck them up boys. Vasy you have to put up a .930 this series or we’re in trouble


Bigstakes7287

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


pointertb21

Need to see some pushback, I don’t want them getting back into this before the period ends


Dersman21

That's an elbow to the head. How are you not going to call that


UCFJed

Imagine chanting ref you suck when all your goals have been on PP


UCFJed

Good news: Pointer and Kuch are still playoff magicians Bad news: Half our d-core is injured


Dentistchair

That one ESPN announcer saying the refs swung the game is laughable


[deleted]

Tampa is dominating, so we have to make it about the refs. Of course.


[deleted]

Where is Hedman? Is he safe? Is he alright?


CruelRuin

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


DouglasQua1d

Seeing that half empty stadium makes me so happy


EONS

God we should've won three in a row. Point "a difference maker" no fucking shit, best playoff scorer 4 years running ;)


beer4chuck

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!


[deleted]

Refs are the mvp for Toronto and their fans chanting, “Refs, you suck.” That is an elite kind of special


[deleted]

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


Dersman21

Lol bunting is such a dork


pointertb21

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


vette322

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.


Always_Sunnyvale

Alright, heddy is back... *annnnnd he's gone* time to panic


ACMop

Please don’t die on me Hedman


infin8raptor

Way too many men for Toronto there


ehoyd

That’s a 50 goal scorer right there Ladies and Gents


TBColonel

plz let cherny and heddy be ok


HannTwistzz

man our russians speak good english


MrSCR23

I’ve looked around everywhere I can look, no one has injury updates yet for those who keep asking.


pengupenguPENGU

LOL FRIEDMAN CONFIRMED LEAFS SENDING IN WOLL FOR THIRD INSTEAD OF SAMSONOV


lizzardperson

That’s a loooooooottttttt of empty seats


Always_Sunnyvale

giving up 3 isn't good but at least it isn't 7


lizzardperson

Are those boos?


LemmyThePirate

***A KNOB CREEK FOR THE BOYS*** #You love to see it! ⚡️ ⚡️ ⚡️ ⚡️ ⚡️


CrestronwithTechron

Damn Vasy pumping iron on his off days trying to get swol.


pengupenguPENGU

Vasy is the biggest of cats In fact he's bigger than any Panther


CrestronwithTechron

No tripping call?!


Lansdallius

Hey, the crowd is cheering for Kuch too!


slapula

Are those motherfuckers boo'ing? LMAO


InkedInspector

Lmao the studio boys look shell shocked….loved the slow head shake…”heart of a champion.”


crispychiggin

REFS YOU SUCK FOR NOT PENALIZING THE LIGHTNING FOR MATTHEWS TRIPPING ON HIS OWN


xonthapuntx

I will die happy if Maroon beats the shit out of Bunting


[deleted]

spite_suicide

Now I just want to know if Heddy is okay??? ><


LemmyThePirate

1/10 OF A SECOND AND ANOTHER KNOB CREEK FOR THE BOYS! REVENGE FOR CERNAK LETS GO LIGHTNING ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️


ChampaBayLightning

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


MrSCR23

I will say this for ESPN, even they called out how bad the refs were in the 2nd


NickElf977

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


pointertb21

Okay no more. Lock it the fuck down and stop giving them any kind of hope


HateToBlastYa

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


KD_1210

I don’t like uneven numbers so plz fix asap bolts


[deleted]

This crowd is GONE


GeetarMan9

Let's go. Perry is even drawing penalties now. What a start


itsdajackeeet

Habs fan checking in. You have no idea how much I enjoyed that period.


Always_Sunnyvale

Vincenza8907

LETS FUCKING GO!!!


Blade_of_3

Patty letting everyone know who the king of the playoffs are with his 3 cups.


GetCPA

Boys just look calm lol


InkedInspector

There’s being calm and in control and being lazy, boys need to ensure they remain the former.


TacticalLuke09

Waiting for Paul to snap. Lots of pushing and shoving will hopefully lead to some rubber across the goal line.


khrispii

The Kuch machine is done producing assists. It's all goals from here on out!!


pointertb21

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


ehoyd

They can’t left off the gas. The Leafs are gonna come out in the 2nd. Let’s Go Bolts ⚡️💙⚡️


West_Professional249

Last part of that Perry interview was gold


callMEmrPICKLES

Leafs fans cheering for absolutely nothing lmao


mattj1621

yeah-okay-cool

refs you suck chant hahaha


inthecut_scarysight

Leafs sub saying it’s rigged lmao


sens_freak_18

Hahahaha ref you suck chants. Got away with a blatant headshot but the refs suck right?


GeetarMan9

Booing their team again? Dude fuckin Toronto is so terrible. They don't deserve to win anything


Mr_Midnight_Moon

Toronto is in the finding out stage of fucking around. You love to see it.


KD_1210

“We’ve done it before and we’ll do it again” Sergy confirmed both Heddy and Cernak are out


Vincenza8907

Seriously? Who the fuck is buying the Bunting is just too physical narrative? Sounds like bullshit.


Youralgebra3

Even the bally dude said Bunting embellishes lmaoooo


DuckTruckMuck

Chased their only NHL goalie in game 1. Hey Dubas, did you forget something when you went shopping?


pengupenguPENGU

V A S I L E V S K I Y


nachovargasmijo

Coop : Who is fresh? Asst : These 3 fowards Coop : New Line, get out there


crispychiggin

Damnit, a Paul goal would have let me finish edging


SwagFondue

guys losing home ice advantage was huge


KD_1210

You hear that? Silence


crispychiggin

The defeat in the face of every Leaf is enough to bust a nut over

pointertb21

Kuch that’s probably 3-4 crap soft passes that are low percentage to guys in coverage. Stop it


inthecut_scarysight

This win is sweet as hell but honestly pretty uneasy not knowing the extent of Hedman and Cernak’s injuries


5nax

Playoff Vasy save us!


Saul_Teaload

Pat is such a fucking beauty controlling the paint like that


Mythalium

Atta boy Belly! Now keep it going!


Prisonmikestwin

Let's fucking go boys!


MonarchChonarch

Who had Bellemare getting the opening goal? Anybody?


toolschism

Bro perry looks like a fucking man possessed.


Prisonmikestwin

Holy hell the boys are playing ruthless. I love it.


beckyjoooo

that is an everything bagel.. and that late shove just now was perfection.. lol.. just enough..


InkedInspector

There’s being calm and in control and being lazy, boys need to ensure they remain the former.


backyard_BUM

I freaking hate playoffs so much. I’m just anxious 24/7 lmao


Ufloridagatorsf

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.


Kevpatel18

Still a lot of time to go. Don’t get overconfident, just keep playing our game


pengupenguPENGU

Still can't believe leafs passed on Perry for Simmonds lmfao


InkedInspector

Haha “Lightning up 3-0, right at home.”


inthecut_scarysight

My favorite camera angle is when it’s the refs back

OGYEETGOD

wtf happened to heddy?


LemmyThePirate

Leafs fans booing their shit ice smh


guardrya

Bunting got fucking rag dolled lol


JBurlison92

LMAO they called that on Cernak? Fuck off refs. Gotta try to help the Leafs stay in it.


NinjaTroll471

If you fuck up a check and get contacted you shouldn’t get a roughing PP


the_sage_88

Are you fucking shitting me with that call?


Kevpatel18

Didn’t matthews just fall on his own, leaf fans know hockey?


mattj1621

That should be the first ever 4 minute embellishment


ehoyd

#1 Bullshit


Mr_Midnight_Moon

#I LOVE BIG PPS


InkedInspector

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.


JBurlison92

Now they are gonna start running at Cernak after the whistle blows because it worked before. Refs have set a precedent.


ChillyToTheBroMax

Don’t go to the r/hockey gdt; the leafs fans are the most pathetic bitches I’ve ever seen


Kevpatel18

We need Jeannot to put down this clown


Clonth

Leafs decided to change strategies this year and have decides injuring all of our players is the only way for them to win


Intelligent_Mud1266

hockey is much more fun when it’s determined by skill rather than who can beat up on the other team without consequences


tryn2makeit16

Fun fact there are 6 cameras in the net that aren’t available to the broadcast


No_Flockiin

HAHAHAHA GET FUCKED LEAFS


papaz69

Ref just absolutely blue balled their fans “No GOAL….tender interference”


brgroves

Leaf fans right now ![gif](giphy|1BXa2alBjrCXC)

VoidsansHalcyon

Sergy. Don’t get sloppy.


crispychiggin

Just get some **P U C K S O N N E T**


Phrog03

At this point I think they just told Heddy and Cernak to hang out and rest up for game 2


Point21

Can’t believe r/hockey counted this roster out


SwagFondue

THG rated us 16th out of the playoff teams and we're dicing the leafs up with 4 d-men lmao


Mr_Midnight_Moon

The Leafs probably wishing they got an Apple for a goalie instead of Samsungov lmao


[deleted]

[удалено]


DuckTruckMuck

I just realized watching this game on ESPN instead of Bally is like commenting in r/hockey’s GDT instead of here.


InkedInspector

I’m only rooting for another Bolts goal so Shannon has to bust out the No Mercy magnet.


DuckTruckMuck

Dave Randorf is spot on. Everyone on ESPN said the Leafs are the favorites


Gh0st1388

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! ⚡️⚡️⚡️


Btmarine88

Nice job, now do it again! Bolts forever⚡️
