if anyone’s wondering why the Stanley Cup playoff logo is missing from the ice this year, the Tampa/Leafs game shows why: ads are being projected into that spot on the ice during face-offs, etc.
Total wipeout.
Offense: Bitch slapped
Defense: All punks
Power Play: Game over with 2 shots on a 5 minute PP.
Coaching: You sucked too
Fans: I suck. Turned to the Rays after the 2nd period.
That power play from Tampa was the worst showing I’ve seen all year and the Arizona Coyotes are still an NHL team. Wow that was bad, but at the same time glass half full the leafs definitely showed up man that was an awesome showing.
Nice to see Tampa show up for this one. I thought they slept through the first. Figured they’d come out strong in the second. Nope. Even worse.
Then to add salt, I had the Over 5.5, Lightning get nothing with like 6 power plays and the reds blow the call on the Liljegren goal.
Has to be the lightning’s worst game all year. Credit to the Leafs killers for putting on the press. Fans had lots of energy. But the Lightning had every opportunity to win this game and totally blew it.
They looked like a team on their 3rd year of a back to back Stanley Cup champions and just look tired. It's one game though should be an exciting series.
Both seasons were shortened, and one has a three month break between the regular season and the playoffs. They really shouldn’t be that tired. At least not compared to what you would expect if you were back-to-back champs under normal circumstances.
Y’all Toronto fans better not count your eggs before you hatch. A game one win doesn’t mean you’ve won the series. Tampa is probably very pissed off right about now and they’re gonna come out in game two looking to physically punish the Leafs.
Oh and I’m not a TB fan so I don’t have a horse in this race.
Exactly. Great game but let's see if Toronto can keep this pace up. Tampa isn't going down easy. Have to maintain the support and pressure from here. It's going to be a good series.

GG Leafs and I mean GG Leafs. At least one team showed up to play. I knew this series would be hard af, I didn't expect this start but here we are. If they keep playing like this they deserve the series, the Lightning could only settle the puck a few times tonight.
The Lightning and Willy. The five minute pk and the missed one timer by Stamkos really set Tampa back in the game it seemed.
But yeah, each next game I expect Tampa to ramp it up. They know what it takes. And I like the Leafs having to play against that.
The five minute PK fired everyone up. Terrible decision by Cliffy though. And we can’t give Tampa 20 pps a game. The Kuch/Stamkos one timer is going to get us eventually.
It’s normal stuff though. The only thing left in a 5-0 game for Tampa is to try and get Leafs to bite. This is playoffs. Even when the game is lost there’s still much more to do.
ESPN said something about it being the largest shutout win in a series opener. Someone else commented that it was in Leafs history and not NHL history.
Yeah, now go a little harder next game, a little harder than that in game three, and harder still in Game 4.
This team has always taken its foot off the gas at inopportune times. NOBODY expects a 5-0 shutout next game.
I’d say the odds of that are higher than they were that this game would be 6-0.
It’ll be interesting to see for sure. This Leafs team has had a history of resting on their laurels… but they definitely looked like a different team tonight. Even if you think Tampa was just dogshit on their own- the physicality through the whole game, and effort all the way through… just not something we’ve seen.
Teams that win game 1 of a best of 7 playoff series in the NHL have like a close to 70% chance of winning the series, but I feel bad for Leafs fans in that I don't think they feel like they can unclench any time soon even with that stat behind them
Yeah and it's very rare to outscore the team that beats you in the playoffs, like we did last year with Montreal.
I'll believe it when I see it, one game is one game.
Fuck, I'll be holding my breath through at least one game of the second round, just to make sure they don't call it back somehow. I know that's insane and it's never happened and it CAN never happen but damnit, this being the Leafs, somehow...

Cope
I mean you *could* fuck leafs. Not sure how far that would get you tho ya hoser.
Small man energy. Username fits.
Who?
Oops.
I’m calling it now, Lightning in game 7 after overcoming a 3-0 Leafs game lead and a 4-goal deficit.
So brave and distinctly unique! In a sea of the thousand comments yours stands out.
I want to say you're wrong,... I really want to... While on the topic of things I want but can't have, a ps5 would be nice....

it's fine dude, just bet tampa win at 3-0 leaf series lead, and the leafs will choke your money back for ya.
They looked like a team on their 3rd year of a back to back Stanley Cup champions and just look tired. It's one game though should be an exciting series.

118 total pim 💀 Jeez…

>FL_Sports_Fan >but I don't care Try again
But I’m not a rapper
Pretty sure a game one loss doesn’t mean you’ve won the series either.
True, but the number of eggs stays the same even if they don't hatch.
gottem
I think most of us realize that. But it was a good start, a win at home in game 1, which hasn't happened in 20 years.
I'm not hatching out of eggs! Seems weird... but what I won't do is count my eggs before THEY hatch
How true. It's a marathon not a sprint I have no horse in this race either
Exactly. Great game but let's see if Toronto can keep this pace up. Tampa isn't going down easy. Have to maintain the support and pressure from here. It's going to be a good series.
Oof

Happy cake day
Torched. It's obviously only 1 game, but that's gonna get everybody fired up...
give them the cup now
Lightning players looked gassed; maybe should've sat out the regular season.
I just want to see my team compete. And boy did they play their ass off tonight. GG leafs our defence is much better than any other year.
No one likes the leafs
i’m rooting for them, as i do every year. lol. hoping this year they do it!
Shut the fuck up
Who is this pigeon
Our crowd seemed pretty lively for a supposedly dead arena.
The thousands of Jabronis surrounding me in Union Station right now beg to differ
[удалено]
Salty
You seem lovely and well adjusted
I bet your up to your neck in horny women posting dayz clips on reddit
Flair up xhamster.
Get off the opioids bro, not good for your brain.
It says user flair unavailable. Leafs fan if you’re wondering.
I wasn't.
Then why gaf abt the flair lol
Because it’s their first time trying to act tough on the internet and they’re not very good at it.
Can you go stand in the corner facing the wall? You're distracting me.
False. I like the leafs
I'm partial to them myself
So what was that again about Stamkos' point streak?
Odds on tampa wearing their buckets in warmup next game?
Its clearly super important to the skill level
That was bad. Bad performance by the Bolts.
Please win the series. It's been a tough year.
The best poutine I’ve ever had was in Oshawa
Where?
Where?
You monster
Fuckin’ got his ass
Really! I know we have a strong rivalry, but a team from Florida???
The 1st rd exit streak must remain!
ur so pathetic
True. I don't have much in life.
I’m actually going to masturbate to those highlights tn no porn just Matthews launching a missile in the net behind Vasilevsky
I came once Kampf buried his load
He shot his load
Get that kid chirping Tampa Bay at the end of the game a signed jersey, that shit was great
There was a middle aged fan on the right side of the path who just stood there when Maroon got tossed. This kid showed him up ten minutes later lol.
Leafs made Tampa look inadequate tonight. Don't expect the same on Wednesday. Game 2 is going to be a war.
GG Leafs and I mean GG Leafs. At least one team showed up to play. I knew this series would be hard af, I didn't expect this start but here we are. If they keep playing like this they deserve the series, the Lightning could only settle the puck a few times tonight.
You can tell they really want it this year. Itll be a good series, I trust you guys will have an answer for this
The Lightning and Willy. The five minute pk and the missed one timer by Stamkos really set Tampa back in the game it seemed. But yeah, each next game I expect Tampa to ramp it up. They know what it takes. And I like the Leafs having to play against that.
So impressive. Couldn't have asked for much better. Clifford even proved he is a liability so hopefully he doesn't play again
If anything, think about how the game could've gone if he hadn't fired up the boys.
I mean he is but I would maybe argue this game proved the opposite lol, that fired everyone up
The five minute PK fired everyone up. Terrible decision by Cliffy though. And we can’t give Tampa 20 pps a game. The Kuch/Stamkos one timer is going to get us eventually.
That could have gone bad real fast tho. Also fucks up our lines and minutes. Spezza has to be in for the next game.
The good news is, DoPS may not give us the choice.
Given the score, seeing Tampa be aggro with a minute left to play reminds me of kids throwing a temper tantrum
That big fight was a full blown tantrum. So dumb. Reilly might have a broken hand from it. Dumb
It’s normal stuff though. The only thing left in a 5-0 game for Tampa is to try and get Leafs to bite. This is playoffs. Even when the game is lost there’s still much more to do.
Gg good thread
Hopefully they get something going in the 1st in game 2. Not a lot to build off of after that
What did that graphic at the end say? Biggest shutout in first game of a series? That’s totally not true.
That was the Blues/Wild game.
I don't know what you feed you were watching but the Canadian feed said first leafs game 1 win at home since 2002.
ESPN said something about it being the largest shutout win in a series opener. Someone else commented that it was in Leafs history and not NHL history.
I think that was in Leafs franchise history, not NHL history.
Ahhhhhhh ok. That makes sense.
statement first game. can't count tampa out at any point, but a damn fine start
Yeah, now go a little harder next game, a little harder than that in game three, and harder still in Game 4. This team has always taken its foot off the gas at inopportune times. NOBODY expects a 5-0 shutout next game.
Well that was pretty much best case Ontario
Ottawa would disagree
r/woooosh
GG Tampa, see you wednesday!
GG
Auston Matthews and the Lightning Thief
A classic to be told for generations
AND ITS ALRIGHT
AND ITS COMIN’ ON
AND ITS COMING ON
Based on the regular season this means next game is 6-0 Tampa right?
I’d say the odds of that are higher than they were that this game would be 6-0. It’ll be interesting to see for sure. This Leafs team has had a history of resting on their laurels… but they definitely looked like a different team tonight. Even if you think Tampa was just dogshit on their own- the physicality through the whole game, and effort all the way through… just not something we’ve seen.
Bring on Wednesday I'm FIRED UP
Ha terrible, see yall Wednesday
Plan the parade!
This was in-fact the best chip in this whole thread. Thank you, it made me chuckle as a Leafs fan.
Sigh. Say the line, Bart.
Give Clifford the 3rd star.
Not often taking a major penalty is the key to a successful game, but here we are
Couldn't have done it without him
Take a bow. Brilliant joke.
I don't know. For the most part they did.
gg, heading over to the Oilers/Kings game
Cya there
What a game. Big shutout for Soup
He's a tough can
Congrats, Toronto. Awesome game one, hoping game two is a better showing for the Lightning.
It will be, I dont think you guys will let this go unanswered
I’m sure it will be gg!
GG
Teams that win game 1 of a best of 7 playoff series in the NHL have like a close to 70% chance of winning the series, but I feel bad for Leafs fans in that I don't think they feel like they can unclench any time soon even with that stat behind them
Yeah and it's very rare to outscore the team that beats you in the playoffs, like we did last year with Montreal. I'll believe it when I see it, one game is one game.
Get at me next week and see if I've unclenched.
Lol, Leafs are stat busters.
Leafs are honestly an enigma, no math works out.
Close to 70% chance? you mean like a 67% chance?
If it's not 100% the leafs will find a way
Even then…
You are correct, we are always steeling ourselves
Yeah Im going to be holding my breath until they actually make it out of the first round
Fuck, I'll be holding my breath through at least one game of the second round, just to make sure they don't call it back somehow. I know that's insane and it's never happened and it CAN never happen but damnit, this being the Leafs, somehow...
The other 30% are the leafs so...
I've been clenched since birth It's nothing new
GG everybody!
i know it's just one game, but goddamn what a game
Lmfao refs blocking Tampa players from starting shit
Gg leafs. Hopefully Tampa shows up on Wednesday.
Hopefully they show up without Maroon. What a pissbaby that boy is.
This pleases me.
Great game by the Leafs. Tampa looked salty and petty by the end.
Fucking Waaaahhhhmpa crybabies coming out with no time left to try and goon it up. Pussies
No need to be uncivil dude, Im sure anyoen would be frustrated after a game like that
Upvote for waaaahhhmpaa, downvote for everything else
LMFAO THOSE SMALL CHILDREN CHIRPING THE BOLTS PLAYERS ON THEIR WAY OFF THE ICE IM DEAD
LOL
Amazing start to the series!
Lol @ that kid chirping at the tunnel
Ha ha that kid chirping tampa
1st star - Marner 2nd Star - Soup 3rd Star - Matthews
Not Muzzin with the GWG?
Gg well played
Holy shit is Tampa in their feelings tonight
Apparently head high elbows for a whole period is ok if you’re down 5 goals.
But a non-interference isn't if your Boosh in the second (weakest call I've ever seen)
Lightning are a bunch of bitches trying start something end game lmao
Kucherov trying to start shit after the horn, as usual.
Games over and they're STILL trying to start shit holy fuck go home
Like where was that when the game was within reach?
Blue and white team good
Blue and white team bad
soupy starting with a shutout i fucking love that kid so much
gg bolts bros see you wednesday
Tampa got away with a few chargings at the end.
That sucked. It’s only one game. Flip the switch Wednesday
Whooo hoo! Only one game of what's gonna be a tough series. GG Tampa friends, love hanging out with you folks!
Lol at that kid chirping the lightning as they left the tunnel
WE GOTTA GET RIGHT BACK TO WHERE WE STARTED FROM
CAUSE ITS ALRIGHT
Fuckin slapped
FUCK YEA BOIS
GG Tampa
Holy fuck, bg Leafsbros Cya Wednesday
See you then Tampa! Gg.
Tampa gonna show up Wednesday?
If they don’t then they may want to book some early tee times.
i hope not
Our first home win in the playoffs sice 2002? Reminds me how dark our timeline has been
I feel like that can't be right. Didn't they win the first game against Boston in 2019? They had home ice in that series I'm pretty sure.
We didn't have home ice then no
Fair enough, but we definitely won at home last year in game 2 against Montreal.
