And now Good Serge!

 

[DistantThunderRep]

Close Miller.

 

[BowDownToVasilevskiy]

Good block by Sergachev

 

[DistantThunderRep]

Anyone notice that Points been kicked out of the dot more times than not lately.

 

[JDBolt]

I forgot Joffrey Baratheon plays in the NHL under the guise "William Nylander"..

 

[BowDownToVasilevskiy]

What a deflection by Erne. Love that guy

 

[Stormbreaker]

Can the stripes just drop the ****ing puck?

 

[DistantThunderRep]

I've never understood why refs pump fake before they drop the puck.

 

[DFC]

I think the Leafs were credited for more scoring chances, but it felt like we had the better of the play at ES. Good to see we showed up awake for this one.

Stamkos was probably our most dangerous player. And I laugh every single time Brayden Point scores, because he's gonna be a 40 + goal scorer and that is surreal.

 

[Fabiobest]

The gameplan is easy I think:
1) Stay out of the box for the stupid penalties
2) Put lot of pressure to Toronto defense/goalie.

Leafs board already has 27 pages. Time for our boys to settle their fans down a bit.

 

[BeingTheThunder]

The boys did show up for the first period in this one! Nice pace to the game, minus those last two minutes. Agree that Stammer has been our best player tonight but I have to say I am extremely impressed with Cernak. Dude is evolving into a beast.

 

[DistantThunderRep]

This is the first time this year that we interviewed the opposite team between the breaks. Leaf privilege indeed.

 

[TampaBayLightning]

Why are they interviewing a leaf in between periods? Seems odd to me.

I've never played hockey so I've always wondered about this. What is the ref saying to the players pre-drop? Why does it take them so long to drop the freaking puck? Drives me crazy every time.

That's just insane. I don't even want to know what all is happening over there right now

They interviewed Point, so I think it's fair game.

Well first - it's not only the guys on the dot that can false start, so some of it is making sure the wingers are in their spots. I think they vary it so players can't time when the puck is going to drop and get an unfair advantage. The pump fakes are stupid though.

I'm happy that we have a nice and small fanbase here rather than the size they got over there. You get to know the posters here much better.

 

[BeingTheThunder]

That used to be pretty standard. Your team's TV folks would interview players from the other team every game. I've always thought it unique interesting to hear from the opponents and don't know why that practice faded.

 

[Stormbreaker]

Out hitting them 13-4

 

[rangerrat]

MacD shifts 34 avg?? WTH??? Hmmmmm

 

[The Macho King]

Changed the scoring on Point's goal. I didn't think Palat touched it. Assists are now Hedman and Stamkos.

 

[Stormbreaker]

Killorn hitting the ice twice we have a hockey game everyone.

 

[Stormbreaker]

Good forecheck leads to another PP
