Lucky it may be, but I'll take lucky.  Lucky lucky.

Looks like the new plan today is cycle for the high slot bomb as the Lightning are doing a good job taking away home plate for the most part. Leaning to the right side as our RWs are better.

Polak scores???  1-0 Leafs.

Boyle calling for the puck as Vasilevsky went to play it would've been hilarious if it worked.

I'm a bit behind but Millen just said that Babcock is really good at shifting his players around when he feels they need it. I've been laughing for the past 2 minutes.

POS dropping a POS on Hyman, even harder than I normally do.

Hyman with a very nice play behind the net to get a clean pass out to Matthews, who missed as he was covered on the shot.

Nylander makes a great defensive read to scoop up a freed puck at the blueline and tries to restart the cycle but Hunwick hesitates on the leading pass and it's lost.

[herman]

Polak with the amazing ability to miss 3 open players, each about 3-5 ft from Polak and each other, with a breakout pass.

He may have been aiming for the TBL net from his red line.

Uh, I don't need to relive the freaking collapse against BOS during the inty.

[Downtown Connor Brown]

Rielly with the second lowest ice time amongst the D in the first, Gardiner leading with over 8 minutes.

Pretty good first period, hopefully we can get a few more in the second.

Yeah, that was a classic content-free comment from Greg.

Auston Matthews did about five things on that shift that won't show up in any statistics but display the depth of his game.

What a tool. Those are exactly the types of things that corsi show that other stats don't. Matthews wins a puck battle, creates a shot attempt for the team, recovers the puck, another shot attempt. Rinse and repeat.

Zach Hyman is an accomplished children's author.

This O'Sullivan fellow apparently is a deft tweeter.

Rielly squeaks one through. Nice!
