Are we gonna talk about how many bad calls the refs made for both sides this game was not fair at all.
Oh Canada 🇨🇦
Hard to win a cup when the salary cap matters eh?
Now…can the Leafs close it out?! Props to all the heart shown here!! 🤘 🏒
The Leafs now have a 3-1 lead
Where have I seen this before?
Well, Tampa! Like I said in the last game you might as well dust off your golf clubs because Thursday night will be your last playing night of the NHL season and Playoffs. Any Team that leads the other team by 3 goals and lets them catch up deserves to lose. Your Losers Tampa it is time to get rid of the old guys and bring on some faster, quicker shooters than you guys. I think Tampa had more wide shots than they had on the opponent's net. Leafs finally you are going to the second round, it gets at lot tougher now and I suppose Dubas gets to keep his job for now, unless you let Tampa do the unthinkable and win in Toronto Thursday night!
Those were TBS announcers.
Lighting fans punching air tonight
I'm disappointed in the way the leafs played the first 2 periods, there's no sugar coating it. If they want to win the prize they can't keep letting that happen. Now I will say this I'm quite proud of these guys for capitalizing on a TB team that stop trying to win. Good on the coach for recognition of who wasn't going well and mixing up the lines. Samsonov out of position on that 4th goal just sayin. Your better than those first 2 periods your a great hockey club now play better play a 60 minute game in game 5 and be done with the series.. when I complain it's not because of how bad of a team you are it's because I know how good you can be and it urks me when your not playing like you can. Do better be better. That was a hellova comeback boys. Good on you that's what champions do they never give up. I will doubt you fellas no more. Peace ✌️
Leafs actually look like a playoff hockey team suddenly 😱 fun series
Go Leafs Go!
Tampa…that was fkn pathetic. As I said before, the right pieces were not added this year. They had an amazing run.
I am so happy for the Leafs with an improbable comeback to win another OT. We must remember the series isn't over yet. Same situation with Montreal. Please for the love of God get it done in Toronto!
WHAT A INSANE GAME! WOW! WOW! WOW!
Enjoy it Leaf’s fans cause Tampa may play soft D, but you won’t be getting those easy tip ins against Boston who will tie up sticks.
That move by knies to prevent that goal tho. Fuckin sick. That kid needs to stay in the lineup
Leafs pulling Boston 2013 from 4-1..
No F'n way Toronto blows this series with the way they're playing. No F'n way!
Toronto must be going crazy with excitement ! Leafs are proving to everyone dont ever underestimate this team ! Wow, Leafs are looking so good !
The only way to exorcise all the Leaf demons was to :
1) Beat Tampa both games at their home
2) Have Rielly be a part of both
3) Have Matthews be a part of both
4) Have the Bolts blow the 4-1 lead in the 3rd
5) Make sure Perry was on the team that Tavares got the hat trick against
6) Somehow involve a guy with a yellow shirt to foreshadow that Boston is next.
😂 I’m just laughing at all the bettors….
I hope so badly the Leafs knock off the bruins and send those scummy Boston fans home whining for the summer 🤞🏻🤞🏻😊
I am so happy that the Leafs came back from a 4-1 deficit and beat the Bolts in OT. What a game! Now, it's time to close it out on Thursday night!
Awesome! Just awesome! What a comeback! Seeing TB lose is almost as sweet as seeing my team win.
Max Kellerman said no one in the U.S. care about hockey, yet again Max proves what an idiot he truly is. I am guessing if the players were black Max would watch because he sure pretends to be black. ESPN radio in the morning won't say a word about these games. Good job ESPN execs in hiring Max Kellerman who doesn't promote the games you televise. Hockey has the wrong color athletes and wrong color fans for ESPN
Hey ESPN maybe instead of investing energy taking potshots at the Leafs you could fix your crappy audio? Audio has gone out 4 times in the Jets game
Funny I turned off the game after two periods.
Is this not eerily similar to the goal scored by Carl Gunnerson in the 2019 playoffs when the Blues won it 👀👀
very special time, very special team…GLG
Hate Tampa. Go leafs
Mind blown! 🤯
I pray this is our year!
Go Leafs!!!!🏒🙏
Penalty shots are rare. Nice to see one
Tampa should have swept the leafs 😂 I can guarantee you this is the year for the leafs Tampa ain’t beating Toronto this year there’s NO way they’ll choke a 3-1 lead this year
Letsss gooo baby!!
Go Leafs!!
Toronto Maple Leafs vs Tampa Bay Lightning
Yay fuck Tampa gay!
Beautiful OT redirect by 🍁 ALWAYS more delicious to win on the road 😈
The Leafs could exorcise their demons if they win the series.
I'll start believing the Leafs if they get past the first round💀🤣
Call me when they make it past the first round. Then I’ll roll out my Wendell Clark jersey and wear it proudly.
If the mapleleafs win the cup this year,
It will remind me of the year the capitals did it,
The capitals were known to choke in the playoffs, and they never got out of the second round,
In 2018 they had a great regular season, and had home ice in the first round against the bluejackets,
The capitals lost game 1 and game 2 at home, and Everyone was saying what chokes they are,
The capitals went on the road in game 3 and in overtime got a goal, to win game 3, same thing on game 4, they got back to Washington and destroyed Columbus in games 5 and 6,
They then Went on to beat the penguins lightning and golden knights to win the cup
This year everyone thought, here we go again with Toronto after game 1, but Toronto is believing it now
Samsonov needs to stay in his net..
And the lease need to play hockey in the first and second period.. but what a comeback go leafs go
Its always great night when lightning loose cooper should have put panger in goal when he offered.
I hate the s***ty maple leafs….bitter & desperate so much that they have to make injuries to TB Bolts in order to gain some wins?! How pathetic? Good luck with trying to win anything after this bc I'm sure the next team will not let you go to next round…ugh🤢🤮
Omggg
Unbelievable 😢
Damn, looks like the Leafs will make it out of the first round. I want their first round struggles to keep on happening.
Fuck both teams but I can't help but laugh at Tampa. The world has seen enough of them.
When you skate slow in 3rd that's what happens . Lightning you guys are old it's over!! 3 straight yeah sure.
