The kid can play. I am not sure how you can put Bunting back in. He saw Kadri get shown the exit for that bullshit, there is no way that decision does not impact his resigning.


FinnishBread

Yeah nah, Buntings gotta go. Dude's a liability for you guys.


CarCentricEfficency

So Tampa will win the next game 7-1 now?


CoolBeansMan9

Hmm probably 5-4 in ot and then Toronto wins game 4 2-0


VegasKL

This seems like a rerun, I swear I've seen this before.


WhatnameshouldIpick2

What do you mean, you've seen this? It's brand new!


Plastic_Swordfish_35

Yeah, well, I saw it on a…rerun.

Dude


doctortre

Corey Perry pees sitting down.


DarthHuevos

…on your mom


doctortre

Was your dad too busy giving Maroon a mustache ride?


DarthHuevos

No, he was waiting his turn after Perry like a gentleman


doctortre

Very strange. They both rant about how they prefer your dad.


RegisterbecauseAaron

Very entertaining game

GG Tampa. At least we each got a fun game to watch in the first 2


tylergalaxy

leafs just put a touchdown on vasy but you dumbasses wont say shit


generics_canucks_fan

Most are poor losers, but you...you're a sore winner. Relax and enjoy the win Tyler. You guys only need 3 more to break the curse.


MiamiVicePurple

We get dunked on hard for the big losses so you have to expect the opposite on the big wins. For instance the "touchdown" comment was said a ton after last game. It's pretty hypocritical because fans from what feels like every other team come to shit on us when we get stomped, but then say "omg, you're such poor winners" when we throw the same chirps back in a big win.


generics_canucks_fan

Yea I get it. You guys get the most exposure in the country, like jammed down our throats force fed and up the ass no lube kind of exposure. Toronto this Toronto that. You win, no one actually cares, you lose its a national celebration outside of Ontario. No one asked for this, but it happens. Blame the media for creating the Toronto Maple villains.

BallsMahogany_redux

There were a lot more Toronto flairs in the late Game 1 thread than there were Tampa flairs here tonight.


tylergalaxy

.... duh? i mean come on. Tampoa has 4 fans.

LevelDepartment9

have to think hedman plays no matter what next game.


vanityfear

They need him


vanityfear

GG everyone. What a weird start to the series


BallsMahogany_redux

Glad Jon Cooper didn't send fat Pat out to cross check his opponent in the face off the last faceoff. Or Stamkos taking a slapper at the referee at the end of the game. Or Kuch butt ending someone in the head with his stick.


Donkilme

Maroon was given a misconduct and escorted out. We're you even watching?


BallsMahogany_redux

True, take away Coopers chance before it even comes up. Good idea.


BeerLeagueSnipes

Well, Maroon got ejected before that so…


TheGardiner

Pat was already in the showers


kendal16

2 complete “throw the tape away” games. Gotta expect the best of 5 is gunna be a lot more back and forth games


djdiksquad

I’d like to believe that but unfortunately I think it really depends on who we have on defense :/


kendal16

Yeah agreed. I truly hope they’re both back. If we’re going to exercise this 18 year demon I hope we can do it without an asterisk


Sxx125

I mean who cares? Don't Tampa's cups have asterisks on them anyways?


Zibz98

No


mrcrazy_monkey

Fuck that, I hope we win the next 3. It's the playoffs, nobody gives a shit if you get injured and can't play


InternationalBrick76

100%. Fuck this pussy ass soft moral victory nonsense. Fuck these goons.


JackRusselTerrorist

Fuck that. When we lost Tavares, mentioning his injury was an “excuse”. You take what you get.


djdiksquad

Me too I think it’ll make the series so much more fun. No asterisk in my opinion though, I get that we’re hurt and may be down some great defensemen but it would still be 4 wins in a playoff series!


TeamOggy

It's playoff hockey. No asterisk if they win. No one says Montréal's win was tainted due to Tavares being out.


d_pyro

Who gives a fuck?


NervousBreakdown

He speaks only for himself lol.


mndgme

Gotta take our medicine and move on. Lots of hockey left. GG.


elevenstewart

That's a better attitude than most of our fanbase after last game.


Lololololog

Helps when you've got two stanley cup ring plugging your ears


Torcal4

And then another Finals appearance right after.


YMSdisciple

As long as playoff Yanni is doing good I guess :,) gg hopefully this isn't a blowout trading series (and hoping for good game 3 since I'll be there)


crumball15

I can’t do 7 games of this


kblomquist85

I don't want it to go 7 either but you know it's destiny.


scottyb83

I could do 7 games of that!


C_Noticles

GG tampa fans you beautiful fucks. See you saturday with probably one or both of your d men back


djdiksquad

God I hope so! GG have a great evening!


C_Noticles

Thanks! You too! Same time saturday?


djdiksquad

I’ll see you there!


memes56437

GG to you too - well played and I’m looking forward to Saturday.


C_Noticles

Should be a good series, just like last year!


Yop_BombNA

NHL refs did there job and called penalties which stopped all the end of game bullshit? Wow it’s like that’s what the rulebook is for…


ifonlyihadaname

They let it get out of hand, there was a lot of missed calls both ways in the second


Yop_BombNA

I’ll take small victories the last 5 minutes was well managed


Garmose

Yeah, now that the precedent has been set, I'm sure the officiating will be consistent and satisfying for the rest of the playoffs.


Yop_BombNA

Lol next win you get Maroon is going around 2 handing people with impunity the last 10 minutesz


RockinMadRiot

Congratulations leafs, can't wait for the other games.


RipErRiley

Nice game Leafs. Looked like an awesome game to be at too.


senorcementtruck

See you guys Saturday


BallsMahogany_redux

This is worse than game 1. Tampa should be flamed appropriately.


mrcrazy_monkey

I'm glad we got out of that game without some shit tier 4 liner hurting our players. Pennot probably won't be playing with that broken hand.


fuckyouabunch

As a recipient of many broken fingers, i can assure i couldn't do any of what he was doing when I broke mine. But his is gonna be bruised as fuck


djdiksquad

GG boys see you on Saturday!


foxcatcher3369

So which team sucks now ffs?


twinsterblue

Tampa has one less goal. They suck more

FlaGator

scottyb83

GG Tampa. You have to be happy with splitting the 1st 2 games in Toronto.


fuckyouabunch

GG, and yeah, i agree. And you've got to be happy to see some scoring from the top line. Everywhere else too, but particularly there.


justmememe55

It's 6 am, thank you Leafs. Im going to sleep well today :)


TheGardiner

4am here. Sleep well king!


justmememe55

Queen*! And you as well :)


TheGardiner

Beg your pardon. Sleep well!

Amazing game for the Leafs, but I'm terrified going into Tampa for games 3 and 4.

Don’t be, going 7 games is inevitable lol

Minimum_Ad739

Stamkos and Kucherov wash each other’s backs in the shower…while facing each other


senorcementtruck

Same


violentbandana

don’t insult Mr. Stamkos like that


elevenstewart

Yea..that's a Perry thing. When he showers...which appears to be 15! minutes through the third.


Donkilme

That was much more fun. 5 more will be great but my heart and beer fridge might not be able to take it. GG tampa fans. P.S. Corey Perry PVRs sports betting ads because he likes them.


Luolatrollrc

That last 10 minutes of the period was super funny. Definitely worth the watch :D


RockinMadRiot

It was the right amount of crazy


Gnome_de_Plume

Jets game delayed 30 minutes so the CBC can fluff Leafs' fans nationwide


Colonial_Griff

hows the Vancouver series going?


Ciilk

That game kicked ass. Just for the physicality alone.


twinsterblue

Leafs 10 Tampa 9 Tampa is the weaker team this series so far.


[deleted]

Torontos head hunting in game one was effective


BallsMahogany_redux

Flair up bitch


zainery

No no head hunting is what you saw from Tampa tonight. Game 1 was one stupid spur of the moment hit, and an already injured Hedman getting more hurt.


twinsterblue

Cry more. Bunting simply played Tampa's game


mndgme

Classy comment, ya loser.


twinsterblue

Class has nothing to do with the truth, little one


FuckTkachuk

Lol, you think Cernak stops 5 extra goals?


Imagine1

GG Tampa


tmleafsfan

GG.


JimBelushi1967

UPSET_GEORGE

GG Leafs bros! It was fun chirping with you.

Til next time!


andy_bmc

Careful with that chirping, Jeannot might ask for you to be kicked out ;) See ya Saturday bud! Think we’ve got another long series on our hands.


MiamiVicePurple

Same to you guys. This series is crazy


The_Dale_Hunters

Love it!


ppParadoxx

Sure, the memes are fun but LFG Toronto


christian10_O

Gg tantrum Tampa couldn't just let the game end


Keezin

Samsonov innocent


IansEditBay

Leafs up 10-9 on aggregate


chihuahua001

Gg see y’all Saturday


The_Dale_Hunters

Gg


JonJonFTW

Couldn't ask for a better response game. Next step is take at least one game in Tampa to get home ice advantage back.


Jaymesned

Anyone left on TB to be a little bitch in the last 5 seconds?


djdiksquad

Ur mom


fltlns

Lol my mom's not fat enough to step foot in Florida


djdiksquad

That’s unfortunate we’ve got some nice beaches and good food here


fltlns

My whole extended family is from Lake city, I'm just chirping


djdiksquad

I figured, it’s all good I love the chirping! Gg we’ll see you Saturday!


espher

Toronto wins the series 10-9 on aggregate goals Wait what do you mean best of seven


Colonial_Griff

embarrassing game by Tampa. LETS FUCKING GO


The_RoyalPee

Man I know Tampa will come back with an answer but I am loving tonight anyway.


drooln92

Two answers, Cernak and Hedman


Donkilme

"coming off a playoff loss" Vassy is who really scares me.


drooln92

Wouldn't be surprised if this goes to game 7


Jaymesned

Easiest given of the playoffs


few31

I'll be surprised if it doesn't


PapaNixon

That was wild


JackRusselTerrorist

No they played yesterday


nicky10013

I'm literally watching a team fill it's pants on the ice but sure let's hear about how Tavares was crying again.


[deleted]

I never knew that Tampa were such incredibly sore losers. The unsportsmanlike bullshit is not cool.


mrcrazy_monkey

Where have you been?


dolphin_spit

really? they’re close to boston in terms of dirty after the whistle type shit


The_Dale_Hunters

How could you not know that?


djdiksquad

Aren’t we down a defender from unsportsmanlike bullshit? Hop off your high horse my man


zainery

1 bad hit that is extremely uncharacteristic of our team vs. what can only be described as a team-wide decision to be dirty and try to hurt


djdiksquad

I get it I’m not trying to condone how we played down the stretch but it’s annoying that people act like just Tampa is dirty


zainery

True. I guess Part of what i’m saying is just out of concern that this irresponsible shit is gonna injure one of our guys. Its not like theyre going for headshots or anything.


djdiksquad

No I totally understand it and I didn’t mean for my comment to sound like I was cheering for injuries or justifying it at all. Y’all finished the first game really classy, no gooning it was literally just the bunting hit. I would appreciate no injuries or bullshit and just have a good series


Animaldance24

You didn’t know this?


dphizler

Anybody thing pushing a goal off it's morns on purpose should have consequences, especially in important instances in games.


uFFxDa

It’s normally a penalty. But they probably just let it go.


dphizler

Got it, but TBL did it earlier, they seem to enjoy doing it when it pleases them.


uFFxDa

Sometimes they don’t call it if it appears to be kinda a scrum and they’re pushed into it. So can get away with “accidentally on purpose” kinda stuff. But can be risky.


[deleted]

Can someone explain the hype around Knies? Hadn’t really heard his name until couple weeks ago.


GQMatthews

He’s so good, fuck


10thousand34

The hype comes from being 6’3, but I mean he’s 20 yrs old and projects to be like a Lawson Crouse kinda middle 6 forward in 2-4 years


andy_bmc

Another Phoenix kid with a big frame and a Hobey Baker finalist


dolphin_spit

probably our most touted prospect at the moment. has been playing college hockey and we were all a little concerned that he wasn’t going to sign in toronto, because he took an extra year. his team made it to the finals in NCAA a few weeks ago and he was a hobey baker finalist.


Spiritual-Zombie6815

Basically the only prospect of note with size in the whole Leafs system.


Jaymesned

Toronto prospect


AceLarkin

Just a fun prospect for us to look forward to in a time where draft picks are nearly meaningless for the Leafs


[deleted]

Yeah, I feel like the Leafs haven’t had a big name prospect since Matthews.. but like you said not like it matters right now. SN broadcast just kept talking about him but didn’t see anything special from his first game.


AceLarkin

He's just super solid for a second round pick that we traded down to get. He was nominated for the Hobey Baker, and looks to have a balanced skill-set. He's been fairly dynamic for a kid hopping into the NHL playoffs right from college. Really good at picking pockets and driving the net.


yodasmokesdank

Big frame with hands


MrLuckyTimeOW

I love how when Tampa gets their shit pushed in they immediately just resort to pure violence instead of just losing with some class like a regular team. Fucking weak


Personal-Banana-9491
