Aww. I was hoping the Leafs would allow multiple goals before getting their first shot.

Good new for the water conservationists at least. They'll only have to scrape one half of the ice tonight.

Well, there goes the dream of allowing more goals than your team has shots tonight.

As well, there goes all the glib pregame blather about being super-motivated to not lay an egg two nights in a row before the dads.
 
Carlyle. Genius. Toaster Oven. Never again...

Stamkos on the board. We'll see youuu... in Sep-tem-berrrr...

Several leaf dads are totally disowning their sons after these eggs...
 
I don't see Stamkos not testing the free agent waters on July 1st, his no-trade allows that. He'll make more, he can still choose Tampa. And if someone makes him an offer he can't refuse: max dollars/happy with coach/chance to win... Maclean said it, July 1st he has all the leverage. On the CBA/Lightning for allowing a superstar to reach un-restricted free agency at 26.

That implies that Tampa has the option to not allow him to reach free agency.

They could have before this year. Or 2 years ago, long-term, max dollars. They obviously chose not to lack him up. You're right, if a player is looking forward to 26 no matter what, they can't stop it. The CBA allows free-agency earlier now.

2 mins for interference? He's pretty lucky. I'd say that's definitely reviewable by dops.

I wasn't really sure why they even called interference.

Looks shoulder-to-shoulder to me.

Yup. Nothing wrong with the hit other than Palat not having played the puck yet.

And really, it looked like the puck just barely missed Palat's stick or it skipped over. Really can't blame Corrado at all there, he had to play that like Palat was going to get the puck.
 
First I couldn't believe that Tampa only had a 1 goal lead, now I can't believe that Toronto hasn't been able to tie it up. Weird game.
