R1, G3: Lightning vs. Maple Leafs - Apr. 22nd, 7:00pm - CBC, Fan 590

Lucky break but also the right call under the circumstances.  What a stupid play from Brodie though

 

[Bender]

Finally a call on Tampa.

 

[L K]

Samsonov doesn't look good.  He keeps getting up slow after coming across the crease.  Can't say he isn't battling though

 

[4EVRLEAFAN]

I get that we could say the same thing about Tampa in their game 2 performance but I don't understand how this team goes from competent to completely incompetent in the playoffs like this. 

Where have you bean? LOL but yeah I like to say the only thing consistent about this team is their inconstancy. lol 

 

[Omallley]

Jeez, Sammy has to be still nursing that injury, eh?

 

[dekedastardly]

What have the Leafs got like 2 shots this period?

 

[Guilt Trip]

We still haven't had a full PP tho.

 

[ZBBM]

Samsonov doesn't look good.  He keeps getting up slow after coming across the crease

Yeah, I think he's got something going on.

 

[azzurri63]

My God.

 

[Bender]

Do they even want to win?

 

[azzurri63]

Do they even want to win?

Lucky they are only down 1. Horrible period. What were the shots after 1?

 

[Omallley]

Good rush by knies.

 

[L K]

Nice play by Knies there

 

[Omallley]

Lucky they are only down 1. Horrible period. What were the shots after 1?

8? 9? More this period than it looked.

 

[ZBBM]

I'll say this, Samsonov doesn't look great but his team is not giving him much of anything.  Lucky to get out of that crappy period down just one.

 

[L K]

Well that was honestly close to rivalling period one of game 1.  The Leafs are lucky to be down only one

 

[Arn]

Somehow managed to get out of that period only 1 behind.

But I still stick to my theory that whoever scored next after the end of the first wins, and that was Tampa. Ugh.

 

[dekedastardly]

Sammy was kind of dogshit, but the team isnt doing anything to help. A couple of good solo rushes by O'Reilly and Knies, and nothing else. All period long.

 

[ZBBM]

Like herman said, Samsonov never saw the go-ahead goal and he got lucky a couple of times but he also made 2 excellent stops early on or this one would be over already.

Leafs are playing not to lose ? as they usually do when the goalie looks less than solid.  When the guy is all over the place in net it really seems to undercut them.

 

[L K]

Sure hope Spezza is down in the dressing room putting on his equipment during the second intermission.

I dind't like the second goal from Samsonov at the end of the first but he kept them in this period despite not looking his best.  This is entirely on the skaters.
