Incredible move by Stamkos. 2-1.

Stamkos: "C'mon!!!"

Could this be on future Playoff documentaries?

I'm the oldest almost 31 year old in the world.

I'm falling apart.

Man wtf is going on in Columbus right now?

This isn't even hockey anymore

TB wasn’t ready, they took a fantastic team way too lightly.

Sucks for them. The regular season isn’t the best all end all for teams.

I would bet they are a lot less motivated in the regular season. Will probably fall 10-20 points but should be ready next time. They are a good team.

If the Leafs get by the Bruins, Columbus is another very physical team only less greasy than the Beanheads. Blue Jackets added skill at the deadline and Bob a better goalie than Rask. Tough out.

It would be a fun series, I would give the Leafs a slight edge but I would think it’s close to a coin flip.

3-1 Columbus

TB has lost all their confidence. They look like an average team right now.

There is no secret anymore, the Leafs or Bruins (the Leafs) will be ready.

I agree that it was most likely offside but that was waaaaay too quick. They want Tampa to win this game.

Yup they thought they had a bye week.

Just look how quickly Boston and Toronto adjusted to each other. Toronto's rush has been squashed and Boston's cycle has been stopped. They'd adjust to Columbus too. No clue why Tampa hasn't.

Tampa got the momentum they needed now

awful pass by Atkinson

Yep, playoffs are all about adjustments.

I truly believe the players just weren’t ready and didn’t prepare like they would.

The Leafs want this one bad, they don’t want to lose to Boston again. They were ready game 1.

TB thought they had it won.

Hedman apparently is the straw to stir the drink. Who knew?

1-0 Pittsburgh early!

40 seconds after the offside the goal goes in. I still stand by 2 changes.

1. Use the blue line as a plane like the NFL does so we no longer have the "did he lift a skate?"

2. 20 seconds after the offside if theres no goal then it can no longer be challenged.

Seth Jones and Zach Werenski tough to deal with 30 mins a night. What a great top pairing d.

Make a (frank)ing save, Murray.

That should obviously hurt them a lot but a 4 game sweep? They were ahead of the next best team by 21 points haha
