9/19/20 - 7:30PM EDT - Dallas vs Tampa Bay [SCF Game 1]

[A1LeafNation]

Man if I was the stars (and I am half cheering for TBL here)....

I'd run hard into Vasi and point directly at Maroon right after.

 

[Spotty 2 Hotty]

Maroon should be ejected for that bullshit at the end.

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

Dallas looks rested, Tampa looks gassed.

 

[TropicalFruitGirl2]

Heh...I will give Dallas their due.
Hell, I feel, outside their own fanbase, I believed in them more than anyone, when they faced the other teams to get where they are.

That said, some Stars fans with their "victory dances" already sound like a few Islander fans when NY dominated in their Game 3 win.

Settle down, people.
Just game 1, Lightning are still the Lightning, we will see what happens over the next twenty minutes and moving on to Game 2.

"Series may be over quickly"...... I think some Isles or Bruins fans snuck in here as posers...

 

[BlitzSnipe]

"weak goal"

Seriously?

More like weak defence.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

That’s a GL game misconducts by Maroon

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

this is going to be a real unpleasant series for Tampa, but I still like their chances

 

[BusQuets]

Heiskanen in the Conn Smythe noms?

If Dallas wins it's him unless Hudobin or Benn play insane series.

 

[Sol]

Good ol Canadian boy vs Greedy old Russian

Benn gets a pass always and Radulov takes one wrong look and he's selfish.

Radulov has been clutch and the best player. All you hear is about is Benn.

 

[robertocarlos]

Maroon just hit Kivi in the mouth with that shot. Stinger in the kisser.

That has to be a penalty.

 

[BMOK33]

Dallas looks rested, Tampa looks gassed.

I think the lesson the NHL can learn from the performance by Tampa in this game and the Isles in game 1 last series is don’t have one day between series ever

 

[flying squirrel]

Lightning was starting to show life, but gave up middle of ice way to easily, that late goal might of been the dagger for this game
Lightning will have to play one heck of a 3rd period

 

[The Gongshow]

Dallas looks rested, Tampa looks gassed.

Yeup. Dallas had 4 days I think. Good on them for taking advantage but its such bullshit this series is starting this early and that there's even a back-to-back

 

[Cmac66]

Seriously? You know how stupid that sounds? Come on.. Dallas were well rested. It shows

Not stupid it is facts seems like we are already getting our excuses in. If we come out playing like this next game are you going to say that Dallas were more rested then us. They are hanging Vasy out to dry.

 

[ryerockarola]

That has to be a penalty.

Hrudey is right for once. That has to be some type of penalty for shooting it into the bench on purpose

 

[Troy McClure]

That has to be a penalty.

Looks like he earned a 10 minute misconduct for being a dirty piece of shit.

 

[Coachcorner]

This game is already over. Dallas has much more movement and brain in this one. Only a game 1, but congratulations on it This was a good and goofy one. Kiviranta was one of the best players on the ice. He had a huge role also on that 1-0 goal. What a guy and a playoff knower. Wisdom sometimes comes not with age but with smart brain sire.

 

[Nikki Potnick]

Yeup. Dallas had 4 days I think. Good on them for taking advantage but its such bullshit this series is starting this early and that there's even a back-to-back

I agree, but very similar to the Tampa/NYI series. Probably why is was so lopsided in Game 1 for them.

 

[JoVel]

The latest was definitely a weak goal by Vasi but even 3-1 is looking way better for Tampa than their play would suggest.

 

[LMFAO]

Gotta love the new NHL, player will not drop the gloves to save their lifes but will shoot puck at the opposite bench

 

[BTO]

maroon only got 10. No PP for Dallas.

 

[dlawong]

Maroon just earned himself the new villain status aginst all Fin fans.

 

[Kaner9]

Dallas doin Dallas things yet again....

 

[Kcb12345]

10 minute misconduct for Maroon. Should be a minor too but oh well

Pretty clear attempt to injure

 

[The Gongshow]

I agree, but very similar to the Tampa/NYI series. Probably why is was so lopsided in Game 1 for them.

Agreed. I'm hoping Tampa can come back and make things difficult/close like the Islanders did, the managed to find there legs. Tampa has none right now
