What a backhand pass from Kuch, incredible 😮

As a Vegas fan, even though we lost i enjoyed this game . It was plenty of actions, goals, fights...just real hockey baby!

[@hockey5525]

The Leafs are definitely not weaker, which they showed in the last season with Tampa, but they now have a weak goaltending line.

[@bodhithomas5684]

⁠@@hockey5525idk, how much of that was Tampa just being tired? I get the feeling that if the leafs don’t come back from another multi goal deficit against the lightning, their psychological advantage is gone. The leafs haven’t fixed any of their problems and despite this lightning team’s struggle on defense, they look way more energetic than last year.

[@user-gt2qb7iy1d]

Если Тампа так будет играть в атаке и дальше то и кубок может взять. Вася где-то выручит, чуть поровнее в защите и вполне третий зайдет
