R1, G6: Leafs @ Lighting - May 12th, 7:30pm - CBC, Fan 590

[Derk]

I have a new most hated team (for today at least), so sick of hearing about Tampa Bay, they need to be ousted. That result absolutely sucks. Leafs played a great game, I don't have too many complaints about that. I honestly thought they were going to win tonight. Ugh. Hopefully on Saturday.

 

[ZBBM]

I really do think if they can win on Saturday it will supercharge them.  The sky would be the limit.

If Jack plays well I think they'll do it.

 

[Bender]

Call the two calls on Toronto and then let Tampa commit murder all OT

Exactly what I thought

Leafs played a damn good OT. Just didn?t close it but they all played their guts out. Even Kerfoot after that dummy move. Leafs had some real good chances but 88 is great.

I hope you're right. I absolutely believe that they can beat Tampa. The wild card is the officiating, as we saw tonight.

Felt we were going to win tonight.  TBay is lucky with the reffing for them and against the Leafs.

 

[ZBBM]

I was nervous-excited all the 3rd and OT but I can accept anything except for a blowout loss on Saturday.  The series has been back and forth just like you'd expect for 2 good teams.

I hope the media don't frame it as "tough playoff hockey". Granted, I have been pretty good at ignoring the media between games after the Tampa love fest between games 1 and 2.

It would be hard to take a first-round loss but the core has been good, now that Tavares has gotten himself going a bit.

To me, Giordano seemed like too much of a liability to keep putting out there, too many giveaways and footspeed is definitely a problem for him.  Another deadline deal miss.

Leafs 3, Refs 2, Tampa 1. What a series.

 

[BrownRolo]

The Leafs played well but they are cursed.

Honestly, I don't see any whipping boys this series.

Leafs played well

 

[Joe S.]

I?m not even angry. Toronto was the better team. Tampa was lucky to win.

Too harsh. He?s been fine. Great option for PP2 as well

Deadline miss? Don't think so.

I think that sums it up. I agree that they were lucky to win.

Says plenty without saying anything.

I think all four lines have gotten going. Scoring threats were everywhere tonight, really. That is a good sign. Hopefully they blow the doors off the Lightning in Game 7. We will see.
