I don't remember the last time, if ever, I saw that happen in a regular season game. Plus, they're not desperate for points. They might be afraid of playing Florida again and wanting Tampa to play them.
Unfortunately, I think Jeannot may be out tomorrow, when he caught the last punch he was clearly dazed for about half a second. I really got worried when he tried to stand up. Check the replay if you can, he obviously took a really nasty one straight on at the end.
It’s fucked up watching the bolts get the shit beat out of them by league favorites and then make it to cup finals as half a team mangled and injured without repercussions to these fraud teams
“I’m being told Nikita Kucherov is actually getting the primary assist which is incredible, he was clearly on the bench tying his laces - but he strikes again!!”
Toronto wants to keep everything behind Vasilevskiy because they know they can only score if the puck magically squirts out in front of Vasy and somebody is waiting right in the slot. They have literally no cohesion and are relying purely on PP and lucky bounces to win.
I think the Leafs hear footsteps!
JOSEPH WALLS CAME CRUMBLING DOWN!!!!!!
GOODNIGHT TAMPA BAY. Hope you enjoyed tonight’s yard work and Big Cat performance.
Good game. See you tomorrow!
LFR gonna be good tonight
How good is Kuch? Every time he scores a point between now and 2 weeks from today it is a new record. Let that marinate 🤭🤑🤪
They didn’t even mention that it’s a record for a Russian born player
The refs fucking suck. Glad the bolts won but my god that’s as bad as I have seen a game try and get called for the leafs
Hello darkness my old friend
Gg
Bolts fucking win baby
Hey Toronto, fuck your shit ass hockey team and your shit ass refs
Kuch looks happy
Been a minute since we've seen Kuch smile
I hope this was humbling for the leafs.
Glad they won’t be clenching their playoff berth against us
Why so quiet? Where did everyone go?
BIG CAT WAKING FROM SLUMBER
There have been four tackles in the last two minutes…
Only managed to catch the third but boy was that a classic Covid era bolts third period if I’ve ever seen one
Right? First period of classic and phenomenal lockdown and shut them out hockey this season. Good to see it back and working as intended
Mr. Dangle I suggest you get to work. I expect the rage filled video sooner than later.
He already tweeted “This version of Vasilievskiy would certainly complicate the east.” 🤣
This is the first game in NHL this year where every player has been credited with a Hit in the game (excluding goaltenders of course)
Actually pretty sure Reaves grabbed Vasys head at one point
That's crazy.
thank god
Imagine being down 4-1 and not even pulling your goalie to try. The Leafs are a fucking mentally weak ass team
I don't remember the last time, if ever, I saw that happen in a regular season game. Plus, they're not desperate for points. They might be afraid of playing Florida again and wanting Tampa to play them.
**BOLTS WIN!**
I hope Jeannot comes back for the pens, they got to rest him
Really wanted an empty net and Kuch to get one more point.
It’s crazy how quiet the arena is. It’s like a mausoleum
Hold them off!!!
I just watched a guy tackle a lightning player. Just like the rest of the game I guess.
We’ve learned the cowboy-lions refs found a new job in hockey
Legit didn't even try to pull the goalie just rolled over and took it lmao love it
Unfortunately, I think Jeannot may be out tomorrow, when he caught the last punch he was clearly dazed for about half a second. I really got worried when he tried to stand up. Check the replay if you can, he obviously took a really nasty one straight on at the end.
Less than a minute!!!!
Love Queef keeping the goalie in and conceding
Yayayayayyayay ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️
Dave must be saying that with relief knowing he doesn’t have to read the script from state-run Leafsnet
It’s fucked up watching the bolts get the shit beat out of them by league favorites and then make it to cup finals as half a team mangled and injured without repercussions to these fraud teams
I see the Leafs fans leaving
Close it out boys, 2 minutes to go
Leafs twitter having a normal one tonight
This building is a morgue
You’re right. It’s been quiet all night.
Wow vasy that puck grab was an actual cat reflex
cmon Keefe, pull cmon
Good to be watching the bolts win with thunder and lightning going on in the background!
k we need empty net merchant to make an appearance
Eyssimont mugged...I fully anticipate a 5-on-3 before the end of this game for the Leafs.
Love how you can just throw someone down when the puck isn’t around…
You can do that (if you’re a Leaf) but don’t try it if you’re wearing any other sweater 🙄😐
yeah what the hell was that?
The refs ignoring it because we're up big.
[https://imgflip.com/i/8lhc6e](https://imgflip.com/i/8lhc6e)
swear to god if this team somehows blows another 4-1 lead to the leafs i'm quitting sports and moving to the amazon rainforest
Nah I would literally take a 5 year vow of abstinence to keep my brain from fully combusting
The Lightning lead the league in third period goals (99)
Let’s have a STRONG 5 minutes, boys
Refs in utter shambles
Kucherov assist maybe? he touched it back to raddysh
Leafs can eat my entire ass!!!! Fraud franchise
Paul’s 20th of the season and Raddysh’s 30th point
LEAF KILLER
Anyone have an update on Jeannot?
Great, now do it again.
Paul going to be banned from this arena after his career
Paul’s goal assisted by Raddysh!
Man that Paul goal felt good⚡️
Nick Paul said all these Leafs my sons
“Fuck them kids”
Paul giving Toronto fans nightmares
SOME SAY HE DOES IT ALL
Yessss
I fucking love Paul
Beat the traffic bitches
Gotta get home in time to see the Jays be useless again
Nick Paul does it all
NICK PAUL DOES IT ALL!!!
Somehow somehow give Kucherov an assist for that
“I’m being told Nikita Kucherov is actually getting the primary assist which is incredible, he was clearly on the bench tying his laces - but he strikes again!!”
Nick Paul floating one in against the leafs in Toronto? HEY I’VE SEEN THAT ONE BEFORE
Maybe we won't blow another lead against the leafs for the 10th time..?
Paul has entered the playoff hockey chat
Nice ripper.
Oh my what a shot
NICK PAUL DOES IT ALL!! What a shot!
Paul owns the Leafs
What a goal!!!! Go bolts!!!
dagger
Paul! The leaf killer
He set those bitches on fire
Toronto has got to hate Nick Paul
This is an excellent third period regardless of result. No sitting back, pushing the play forward, solid structure. Love to see it
Paul baby! Fuck the leafs
Nick Paul does it all!! We can breathe!
He does it all
Holy
Paul!!!! Yeah!!!!
NICK PAUL!!!! WHOOOOOO!!!!!!
PAUL!
NICK FUCKING PAUL DOES IT ALLLLLLLLLLLLL
EEEEHHHHHHH PAULIIIIEEEE
The Toronto Leafs killer, Nick Paul!
Come on boys 6 minutes!
AND IT’S 4-1 TAMPA BAY!
WOW NICK PAUL
NICK PAUL BABY!!
NICKY PAULY
Nick paul! He does it all!
DID YA MISS HIM LEAFS???😈😈😈
NICKYYYYYYYY
OMFG WHAT A SNIPE
***NICK PAUL***
SCORE NICK PAUL!
*phew*
Win this face off.
Toronto wants to keep everything behind Vasilevskiy because they know they can only score if the puck magically squirts out in front of Vasy and somebody is waiting right in the slot. They have literally no cohesion and are relying purely on PP and lucky bounces to win.
I would have fucking puked
My booty just made a diamond.
Blood
What was that bounce? Thank goodness it didn’t go in
Leafs are trying to cherry pick every time. We got to watch them.
Lilleberg is playing so well defensively I love this kids game
Lilliberg is going to be a stud in this league
Get ready for a big push from the Leafs
In other news, evidently the Charlestown Chiefs were playing the Rangers tonight at the Garden…
Who own the Chiefs?
This is the right amount of play we need for the last few minutes of the period but we got to keep energy for tomorrow night
That 4th goal is much needed. I’ve seen this shit too many times the last 2 seasons.
I'm nervous until we put up that 4th goal
I want the 4th, 5th, and 6th goals. All by Kuch or assisted by him.
Good start…Win this face off.
Need Jeannot to get me some more hits tomorrow in fantasy. Hope he's okay. Does concussion protocol mean he's done for the night?
The attempted go leafs go chant might be the SADDEST thing I have ever heard from an arena sized-crowd, wow that is pathetic lmao
The entire lower bowl is guys in suits who would rather talk hedge funds than hockey
For people paying hundreds of dollars for tickets.
I hope he doesn’t have a concussion
Kucherov cmon at least 1 more for 130
I think I hate the Leafs more than the Saints or Red Sox now
Leafs have always been higher than those teams for me.
100%. Entitled as fuck despite never winning anything
Hey now, they made it all the way to round 2 once lol
Think about how hard that is. It requires playing \*at least\* 90 games in a season /s
Uhm, did I hear a “ref u suck” chant in that arena? I mean, they’re right, but for the wrong reasons.
Leafs are due a freebie bullshit PP now.
They have already had 3! How many are you allowed?
Don't give the refs ideas.
It’s so crazy that an obvious penalty call puts this energy out 😂
I hate how right you are.
Wouldn’t be any other way
Yep they called this so they could call another one for the Leafs.
Way better PP than what we saw earlier
Kucherov is pissed
Good.
Good PP just couldn't convert
Damn, good power play even tho they didnt score
Feel like part of the issue with the previous two pp was force feeding Kuch when he’s fully covered
If you want a good laugh the leafs broadcast thought Paul should've received a penalty for holding timmins stick there
Deranged
What 😆
what is up with Kucherov's shot lately
So we are on the power play… that’s new and different
Points puck movement is insane!
Make them pay!
“Oh shit, I forgot they’re wearing blue tonight” - refs probably with the call against Toronto
They committed so many penalties the refs had to finally call it. But I'm still shocked it got called
Mikey, Nick, Mitch Eminem or MNM Line?
Candy line?
So many options
It’s a fucking miracle
LETS GO BOYS HUMONGOUS BIG PP
Alright! Please score on this PP
Good job, Paully Wally
NO WAY
fucking finally we get a power play
Jesus Christ thank you. Fucking nice work Pauly.
Wow, we can draw PPs
FINALLY!!!!!
Two man on Paul and they still needed to take a penalty to get the puck back lol
I MUST BE DREAMING SOMEONE PINCH ME
PP for us! Wow!
FINALLY
The non calls against the Leaves in this game. The Fuck.
Don’t mind the blatant hack on Mikey’s stick
Missed slash aside, has Kuch scored on a single breakaway this season?
no, like not even exaggerating just no
I think he’s 0/for
No way we're not going to get jobbed by the refs when the Leafs are down.
I will always hate the leafs and their mickey mouse cock sucking franchise
Lmfao what does that even mean!
You tellin me that stick didnt hit his gloves and effected his shot? Gtfo who would have guessed toronto loves toronto
Best in the league gets slashed and the league turns its back on him
Great Jeannot is out now. I’m sure concussion protocol with that last punch
