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

[matsqq]

If you north americans wonder how Kiviranta got his name it was because he was a childhood friend of Rantanen and his mother once offered him a Kiwi.

 

[MrHeiskanen]

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

Dallas had no problem beating Colorado game 1 after only 1 day rest while Colorado had two days.

Tampa needs to play 12-6, roll 4 lines, and they won't be tired. Instead, they roll 11-7 and never play their 10th and 11th forwards. Doesn't work for the long grind of the playoffs.

 

[BusQuets]

Dallas looks rested, Tampa looks gassed.

This was expected after the Isles game but it's surprising how ready Dallas was in this. Tampa should have had the upper hand in the 1st.

Either way Tampa is gonna be much better in the next games for sure.

 

[mw2noobbuster]

Lol people still can't pronounce Pietrangelo.

 

[BB06]

That was a dick move by Maroon

 

[RageQuit77]

Kiviranta needs urgently improve his Playoffs G/60 to really live up the legend of him. Few more safety-goals would do good for that aim, and likely help in overcoming the Lightning.

Yeah, I honestly never understand playing Luke f***ing Schenn and not dressing a 12th forward. Maybe this changes with Stamkos coming back.

Lol people still can't pronounce Pietrangelo.

Ya know, I'm not even sure I can either, lol.

Puh-tran-juh-low ?

 

[U55]

It was off the post to tie it 2-2 and then the next play 3-1 series is over. Some people act like they've never seen hockey before.

 

[ItsFineImFine]

Pretty bad game so far tbh. What I feared....a tired Tampa team mixed with Dallas' awful style of stifling hockey where they love to sit back and counter.

 

[Kcb12345]

Just stupid and dangerous. Can't believe you only get a 10 minute misconduct for this. No one was even looking he's lucky it didn't hurt anyone

 

[Shocker]

Who the hell is Rupay Heinz, lmao.

 

[Hockeyholic]

This reminds me of 1997. One line dominant line against a team full of depth. When said dominant line gets shut down...look out.

 

[Dr Pepper]

****ing dumb play by Maroon, one of the officials was right there in the line of fire as well.

Shoulda been shown the gate, five and a game.

Well I’m sorry you’re not enjoying the game. I think it’s been fun.

Isn't it Pie-tran-gel-o?

what an idiot. Tampa getting rattled like this so early is probably a good sign for Dallas though

 

[BusQuets]

Kathryn Tappen with a nice looking chip swing.

Yep you got it. Not Petro-Angelo, not Peter-Angelo, PUH-TRAN-JUH-LOW.

 

[JoVel]

At least Maroon didn't go full Alfredsson.

Tampa has a very deep team. It just doesn't look like it as much since Stamkos is out and Point is hurt

 

[MrHeiskanen]

Maroon shoots it right where the linesman is as well, what a guy. Not sure why these plugs like Maroon, Reaves are still in the league.

 

[Sheppy]

Pillow Fists Maroon being a dork? Yeah. Par for the course, I guess.

Well I'm factoring in Point & Stamkos. Obviously if those two were healthy my statement wouldn't hold.

But they are both soft players anyways. I'm not sure Stamkos out there tonight changes this result. This is a punking.

 

[reino]

Two more points and Heiskanen has 4th highest point total for defenceman in NHL history and he isn't even playing 1PP. Absolutely insane run
