Tampa will be much better so Leafs need to match that.

Don't get too confident. Remember what happened after the Leafs won 6 - 2 against TB a month ago.

3rd string goalie, no Matthews

 

[CanadasTeam]

Yes sire!

 

[Stephen]

The next ten minutes of the series will be the next critical juncture. If there’s a push back it needs to be weathered, and the Leafs need to put forth their best once again. Build on that and have a lead going into the second. Rinse and repeat.

Al Secord. Hard as f***.

This is the energy I want, we killed it last night, the greatest leaf game I've ever seen in my lifetime, was absolutely dominant and complete on every level.

But Tampa will be coming HARD, I want us ready to weather that storm and stomp on their throats.

Show the league our true power.

 

[Space Coyote]

IF they can go up 2-0 heading to Florida these guys will believe they can take one of games 3 or 4 possibly come for game 5 to seal the series

How they play in Game 2 will be a true tell tale sign if they've learned anything from their past series failures.

 

[ACC1224]

Thanks @Coachcorner , true legend.

Absolutely imperative they start tomorrow on time.

 

[Brown Dog]

Of the many impressive elements in that win, to me the most impressive was how relentless they were on the puck. They gave TB no time and space and constantly created turnovers with their tenacity, speed, and physicality. It's not easy to maintain that, but they'll have to in order get another W in Game 2.

 

[Rob Brown]

We rumblin hard! Hit em with the twerk, sires.

 

[Pi]

3rd string goalie, no Matthews

4th string.

Campbell
Mrazek
Woll
Kallgren.

Tampa will be much better so Leafs need to match that.

Our defense was great
Soup was great.

Our offense was really good but that was not there best from start to finish.

TB looked slow.

 

[Jmo89]

Tampa will be much better so Leafs need to match that.

If they survive the first period even I think they'll win it.

 

[Atrusai]

Such a weird feeling to get excited when the Leafs are handed a 5 min penalty kill. My first thought was, "How many shorties can they get?"

 

[Gary Nylund]

Agree 100%. HUGE game!

Indeed, it won't be easy at all.

I'm assuming that other than Bunting playing if he can (and I'm assuming it will be in place of Clifford) we will play the same guys. It better be that way because if Holl is in for Liljegren, I'm going to lose my mind before the game even starts.

D pairings in practice today were the same as last night with Holl skating as an extra, so it seems as though it'll be the same tomorrow.

 

[TheDoldrums]

now we might be adding Bunting to the mix, they thought we were fast/energetic/feisty before...

 

[Phion Keneuf]

Let’s one up it. 6-0 Leafs win please

 

[CabanaBoy5]

Let’s one up it. 6-0 Leafs win please

It would have to be 7-0 since the Lily shot crossed the red line imo.
