Recap of Maple Leafs vs Lightning Game Six

Welcome back, it finally happened, it finally happened and I'll be honest, I kind of expected it, okay, there's going to be some kind of challenge here. Will something happen to ruin this moment? and the answer was no. um I celebrated a little bit here because it's something that I've talked about for a long time and I wanted to see Toronto get rid of that reputation as a team that can't win a big

game

, a team that can't. win a

game

to clinch the series now the interesting thing is I think Tampa Bay outplayed them for much of this game so it's a samsonov versus vasilevsky 11 forward 70 for the Leafs so Sheldon Keith heard the Leafs fence .

Hall was either on the bench or not. on the bench I was watching, they didn't have him in the lineup, the bunt was back and Edge Adam Copeland was there, he said the Leafs would win so I think Adam Copeland deserves some credit for this anyway, he also said that Riley would have a big game and he did so with nervous energy at the beginning of this one. There's a near miss for Paul and the Tampa Bay Press, so it looked like the screws came out with an advantage, kutra and then like a quick opportunity. kicked to the side Shen had a shot through a screen that was held things pushed you into a Hold by samsonov Hegel then had a sustained touch opportunity Rush opportunity too, so both goalies didn't give up many rebounds early on , aware that you know how important this game is and Rush's chance to tap in was after a great save by Samsonov, so both goalkeepers outplayed each other again.

The shots are three each after four minutes. The fans call one, the ref doesn't and that was the case on both sides in this one, the refs just say let them play which in the internet age is clearly very controversial so Sam Sanov pushes the goal line stuff about Stamkos like Again, Sam Sanov, uh, he had some ghosts of his own from last season that he was trying to exercise and I think he did pretty well. Colton then denied on a two-on-one, there is an ozone penalty for Tampa sending less. to the power play Tampa wasn't happy with that call, they cycle Cole clears it, there was another clear that followed after that, then there was a colornrush shorthand that helps finish it Toronto makes a shot during that power play, the leaves they pressed with nine minutes left Brody was denied uh Stamkos had a wraparound chance that stayed around him, went behind the net and then came back out and tried to put it on the short side there, so I'll wrap it up.

I don't remember explaining it later. uh Hedman then fires one wide the Leafs return to the power play Marner to Tavares near Miss uh Killorn short handed Rush samsonov maintains that part plays didn't kill any shots so it didn't benefit the Leafs there and it felt like The momentum returned to Tampa Bay. Tavares then shot home with a buzzer-beater, so after the first there are no goals. The Sportsnet crew said the longer it goes without a goal, the more it favors Toronto, and I kept saying, "I don't know, this is a serious deciding game." until Toronto wins, something favors Toronto and I mean that in all seriousness because they were over 11 coming into this one so the early power play for the screws in the second period the circus had fires, a high content caloric had a shot that was saved by kutra. then as a net pass, this blocked and cleared a late Hegel rebound that was eliminated largely because Samsonov came into play.

Shen has a great opportunity outside the box. Vasilevsky stops it and then there was a crossbar to touch on a rebound. Cole then has a shot that deflects pressure off the pins at the four-minute mark. Colorn has a burst that he blocked, the Leafs failed to clear it, so there are plenty of chances here for Tampa, but again, Riley remains scoreless as a net pass intercepted Giordano. a shot this block things are pushed into a hole by vasilevsky kutra shoots one wide on a rebound fans call too many men on the ice the referee I don't think it's because they didn't play well there were too many that were on the ice, that's it The general rule is, you can have six guys on the ice, but as long as the guy coming out and the guy coming in doesn't touch him, they'll give you that six feet off the bench, so you'll notice the score. changes at this point score changes are frequent now because some write a lot anyway at least press eight minutes Lola grin has a shot that deflects wide nylanders denied in close Marner then has a shot that blocked the rays Rush uh kucharov has a net drive that he held Colton shoots an open knee Lander to Nice is eliminated Nice had a good game he doesn't look like a rookie uh lilgrin then he has a shot that stays with traffic on the net Matthew Matthews backhand one open easy for me let's say and the Leafs get some pressure and then you know on a botched punt the Leafs end up getting a goal, it was good pressure, they had them pinned down a little bit, it's wired up on Matthews Brody's top shelf with assistant 1347, so there's Austin Matthews. with a goal and a big play for Toronto absolutely necessary so Bolts push to respond, denied on a turnover opportunity, the Leafs failed to clear Bolts, they ran a power play so again we are conditioned to decide think well, this is where things fall apart and this is how and I was feeling this, so I know there have to be Leaf fans that were also filming this.

Colton shoots wide Matthews intercepted tonight Lola Green has a chance anyway I'm here again why am I up here? Don't go up there for Stamkos to have fun and kept the jumps clean in a head-to-head victory. The bolts were set. Cycle stamp. The coast hits the post. So there's a near miss for Colorn who was around puck, he doesn't end up getting a goal tonight uh Giordano clarifies that Power Place killed a shot that hit the net and the screws press after it ends, but after two periods the score is one nothing, the thing is that the shots favor Tampa and the Shot attempts favor Tampa, so they don't get the accuracy they would like and the Leafs are doing a good job of blocking and making sure they shoot from non-optimal places to achieve those shots, so let's go to the third period Surev has a shot on this block.

Cole had a chance to get kicked out, but Goshen has a shot that saved Edge early for the screws. In this one, they pressured him. A minute and a half the Leafs were running and finally the seal hurts. Radish and Cirelli score at four minutes and 11 seconds, bury that rebound from the slot and then Tampa Bay looks for the lead, they have the energy, the crowd supports it and it feels like we're going seven in Toronto. Aren't we Maroon? He has a shot that blocked the Leaf's punt. Matthews is rejected on a rebound from the slot.

Camp then has a chance to deflect Pervix with a shot through a screen that was stopped. Shots are 7-3 for Tampa at eight. minutes and a half, uh, period, then when a shot is blocked, Leaf punts, Matthews nearly misses, points denied on close, samsonov holds that a sloppy Toronto pass at this point in the game at the worst possible times, right, uh kerfoot has a shot that gets blocked and then there's a run by Tampa Paul had a shot that gets blocked it's clear uh the shots are 11-4 Tampa Bay with five minutes left and it looks like based on the shot clock there was nothing more than ended up hitting the net, so the bolts are doing a good job blocking the middle of the ice, they're not giving Toronto any good looks at the net seal.

The coastal blocks and Matthew's shot went off the inside of his ankle, which had to hurt the fans. he called one in the last minute the referee didn't do it, it was a high stick for Hegel he should have been called yes, probably um initially I thought well, it was in a follow-up and the answer is no and Hegel just the verbal reprimand that the officials gave him, so we go to overtime, no power play for the Tampa Bay Lightning, which could have been some early icing by the Toronto Maple Leafs and the overtime is noteworthy and the overtime because Tampa Bay was controlling the faceoff circle in this one for the most part, so the Leafs press in the next faceoff, they stay on the outside.

Pervix has a shot that is blocked as the bolts apply pressure. Lola smiles and then shoots high AC Mont has a shot that saved things from getting aggressive. on hold by samsonov uh Cole shoots wide in a head-to-head win Brody has a net feed that was blocked pins pressed three minutes in the Leafs still have turnover issues however there is a little pressure on Toronto and one goes in the radishes skate in front of the net it's a goal Tavares de Nyes and Riley at 4 35. so when I saw it in real time I thought oh I hope that didn't go in on a leaf skate, I hope that's not the case. a kick because, man, that would be a punch in the gut, but no, Tavares gets the game winner.

They win this two to one. This is the first round won by this generation of Toronto Maple Leafs. They win this series four games to two. Kyle dubis over Luna with the win and everything went well, everything they wanted to do came out, they won all three games in Tampa, which says a lot for Toronto's game on the road right now, and if they end up playing Boston, They'll need that again in the first game. and two would be in Boston, however, if Florida completes the comeback, Toronto has ICE at home against the Florida Panthers, so their three stars in this one are Anne Vasilevski's Tavares Samsonoff shots in that 10-7 Tampa Bay in the first 10 each in the second and 11. to 4 Tampa in the third both teams had a shot in overtime Toronto is the one that matters Final shots 32-22 for Tampa who played very well could not beat Samson in plays of power both teams more than two hits 42-41 for Toronto they stood firm physically samsonov saves 31 of 32 vasilevski saves 20 of 22 and if we look at this series, it begins with a 7-3 road victory for the Tampa Bay Lightning, followed by a 7-2 win for Toronto, that game was huge and then Toronto wins a couple on the road both in overtime 4-3 in game three five to four in game four and then Toronto loses at home to Tampa Bay 4- 2 in game five and tonight again in overtime they win 2 -1 so Toronto with the win, congratulations to the Toronto Maple Leafs Cal dubis Shelton Keaton of course Steve hang up this man he's been through a lot lately with the Toronto Maple Leafs, so I'm glad to see your team.
