R1, G1: Lightning @ Maple Leafs - Apr. 18th, 7:30pm - SN, TSN 1050

[azzurri63]

2-0. Sammy giving up all kinds of rebounds

Wasn't sold on him during the regular season and didn't know how he'd handle the pressure. Not liking what I'm seeing.

 

[rjd]

I think that the rumours of Tampa Bay's decline were greatly exaggerated.

 

[Guilt Trip]

Leafs look nervous.
I think Schenn got a penalty there.

 

[Omallley]

Yikes.

Jinx?

 

[dekedastardly]

Reilly and Holl are garbage

 

[ZBBM]

I think that the rumours of Tampa Bay's decline were greatly exaggerated.

Well, any team would look good against a D that looks deer-in-the-headlights scared and a goalie giving up juicy rebounds like party favors.  What an awful start.

 

[Omallley]

So, the obvious solution is to run Woll for the rest of the series. Good.

 

[azzurri63]

I think that the rumours of Tampa Bay's decline were greatly exaggerated.

They aren't as good as previous years. Still a great team and no-one expected this series to be easy. Leafs are a more complete team than lasts but said it to my buddies goaltending may be the difference and although we seem to play well against Vasi I'd take him in a heartbeat  in our crease over Samsonov.

 

[herman]

Willy and co setting an improved tone

 

[Bender]

That's fucking horseshit

 

[ZBBM]

McCabe having a tough first playoff game.

 

[azzurri63]

C'mon McCabe if you're going to high stick the asshol* at least knock a few teeth out out. 

 

[azzurri63]

That's friging horseshit

Visions of the bogus call last year on Hedman.

 

[L K]

Everything is slow.  Taking way too long to make passes and they are getting intercepted and deflected because of it

 

[rjd]

C'mon McCabe if you're going to high stick the asshol* at least knock a few teeth out out. 

Well, at least they can get it out of their system in game one.

 

[azzurri63]

Bunting standing in front of the net off to the side. Why not try and screen?

 

[Bill_Berg]

Knies in next game?

 

[ZBBM]

They've found their legs but conceding a 2-0 lead is just about the kiss of death.

 

[herman]

Lots of time left, but we have to start causing chaos in the slot

 

[Bender]

Another chintzy af call. This is crazy.
