00:57grabbed along the board by o'brien
01:01beautiful read in the defensive end by magids
01:05st petersburg's got the puck taken by tucker
01:18wall's been consistent over the course of his career
01:21mainly because of his positioning james
01:23he gets set to that puck square to it and makes the save
01:32st petersburg's looking to break out at the road
01:35and the goalie covers up for the whistle
01:37our mind of the team store always accessible to you online 24 7 365 online but don't forget you can

01:53referee signals penalty coming up here with a delay call
01:57and he sprints to the bench to get the extra attacker out on the ice
02:01whistle blows stopping the play the leaps don't like it but they'll serve two in the penalty box
02:08lacrosse check is not a hockey play i mean it's a frustration play and you're gonna get the call all
02:13day long
02:13if you move those hands away from your body and you try and move a player
02:22both teams lining up with a face off and it's a chance to see if there's actually some power in
02:26this power play
02:28you've got the best power play in the league you just want to be out there and now they get
02:32their first opportunity they trust they have confidence in their skill set and they are dynamic when they're in the
02:38offensive end
02:48and all the teammates coming over to on the fist bumps and then braces because it is his first james
02:53it will be one of many though because he's been around and he's sniffing it out
02:57but that's going to set up nicely for the rest of the season
03:01two competitors know what it takes to be hard on a puck james and this is a perfect example
03:06of pounding being tenacious and then getting the puck and doing something with it
03:11so going from a defensive point to an offensive point and producing
03:17st petersburg's tough to play look at that a quick goal here just minutes in
03:21well it's all about getting the start that you want james and that doesn't always mean a goal it means
03:25being heavy and on the floor check establishing pressure capitalizing on their opportunity
03:29that's a bonus and they do it early in the frame
03:33sends it over to d'angelo
03:35oh and a misfire as that goes right into the zone
03:40st petersburg's moving it up the ice
03:43slides the puck down low
03:45handles the pass on the corner
03:48here's a shot
03:49oh what a save in front
03:52loses the covers there
03:53here they come on the attack
03:56oh gets a little piece of it
03:58and keeps it out of the net
03:59goal tennis spends so much time doing cracking exercises and it's utilized right here as he knows where this puck
04:05is coming from
04:06and he makes the save
04:10pisses it over
04:12here's a short pass to burrows
04:16and there's a puck at the point
04:18turns it aside with the glove
04:26still a lot of time left in the period as we approach the midway mark
04:30we got a 1-0 game to this point
04:34off the face off they take the puck
04:37the bears get a hold of the puck along the boards
04:40works it across to Domi
04:43Toronto's got him along the wall
04:45and he shuts the ball up
04:47makes another stop
04:48he scores
04:50high game
04:51well you can't worry about what happened in the game james it's all about what you do now
04:55saying in the present that's exactly what they've done and they've got the equalizer
05:00I love when offense is generated from below the goal line all of the coverage is facing the puck and
05:05he gets lost in coverage in that slot area and just fires it home
05:20the Leafs didn't seem rattled at all falling behind early in this one Cheryl they're right back to even here
05:26well yeah and it's trusting the process here james and coaches don't love it they feel like you're not ready
05:31when you get behind the eight ball to start but if you stick with it and you don't let the
05:34deficit climb you can climb your way back into the game and that's what happens here as we approach the
05:38mid-mark of the period
05:40it's what happens here it's what happens here and he takes the feed
05:45quick feed down low
05:48and that's a smart heads up play by Aikman Larson
05:52the Leafs will play for the defensive zone
05:56St. Petersburg's going to puck along the boards
06:01Kapanen's got it in the offensive zone
06:04into the corner of the attacking area
06:07Quick shot!
06:08And that's blocked away.
06:10Corrado's got the puck.
06:13Takes it and looks ahead.
06:15Highly a tackle on the boards.
06:17Huge play in his own end to come up with the puck.
06:21There's only one goal away, James,
06:23in his next milestone right here.
06:26Takes the shot. Gets in front of him.
06:30Goaltender hangs on for the whistle.
06:37Engine closer to the midway mark of this period.
06:40It's all tied up.
06:46Goalt won the draw here in the defensive zone.
06:49Slides the puck over.
06:51They've got numbers here.
06:53Sets the pass to Trent.
06:55And that's stopped.
06:57Corrado's got a hold of the puck now.
07:00The Leafs ready to go on the attack.
07:03Corrado's working the puck to the point.
07:06Max using the body on the wall.
07:09Almost stuck with the paddle.
07:11This is a really nice save, James.
07:12I mean, the shooter's in the middle of the ice
07:14is in the slot area.
07:15He's got to get to the top of the crease,
07:17square to the puck to be able to make that save.
07:19Great job.
07:20Both sides getting ready for this face-off.
07:22And Cheryl, I can think of a keeper right now
07:24who would love nothing more than another minute here.
07:27Well, he's extremely fatigued, right, James?
07:28And this is a critical juncture of the game.
07:30If you're on the offensive side of the puck,
07:32you want to continue to wear down your opponent
07:34because you know that this goaltender's fatigued,
07:37he's vulnerable, and you've got to find a way
07:38to capitalize on the opportunity.
07:41St. Petersburg's got possession of the puck.
07:44Graff's got it on the offensive end.
07:47Musa quickly over to Fabry.
07:49Push it on it!
07:51And that's blocked!
07:53The Leafs can't control of the puck.
07:55Through the neutral zone, moving the puck along the side.
07:59Throws to the sweet spot!
08:01And he gets it up to keep it out!
08:03As a goaltender, sometimes you just have to react.
08:05You turn the brain off,
08:07and you just allow your eyes and your body
08:09to do the work for you,
08:10and he does exactly that with a reactionary save.
08:16Wow, James.
08:17I mean, not everyone can elicit a thunderous hit like that.
08:20I mean, he just clobbered his opponent.
08:28Past the midway mark in this period.
08:30The next goal could be a big one as we are tied.
08:39Glenn Dennings won the draw here in the offensive zone.
08:42Takes a spill onto the ice and loses the puck.
08:48St. Petersburg's gained possession along the boards.
08:53Glenn Dennings looping in on the attack.
08:59And he takes the feed.
09:01And he gets a piece of that one and denies it!
09:04And he fights off another save!
09:07Well, a nice save by the goaltender,
09:08and even better, is that he redirects the puck
09:10to the corner to safety.
09:13And the lane is locked up blocking that!
09:18Pushes it across to Oval Crivell.
09:21Kishes it up!
09:22Oh, I think that goes off the mask,
09:25and it stays out and the play continues.
09:29He's over!
09:30Moose it to Burns.
09:32And the goal is somehow, that's a piece of that one!
09:35Does a great job with some great pushes
09:37to get to the top of this piece
09:39and makes it safe on the high-danger area.
09:41And the center's glide towards the dot here
09:43as we've got a face-off set to go.
09:46Matthews has won the draw inside his own end.
09:50Corrado's ready to go on the attack.
09:52And so brings away as he shakes the defender!
09:55In front, stoppage on the play
09:57as the goaltender covers things up.
10:12Tavares wins it in the offensive zone.
10:13Tavares wins it in the offensive zone.
10:14Gets in the lane with the body!
10:21Picked up along the wall by Kapanen.
10:26Slides it back to the blue line.
10:30Slides it across!
10:31And he takes a shot!
10:33And he'll hang on to the puck for a much-needed whistle.
10:36Well, and this is huge, James.
10:38The ability to slow the game down,
10:39get a line change.
10:40There's no one happier than the coach right now.
10:43Here in the late, going into the frame.
10:44You can feel the energy in this crowd.
10:47It's a tie game.
10:49Corrado's won the face-off deep in the road.
10:53Takes the puck at the point.
10:54And he feeds it down to Perrin.
10:58Takes the feed at the back end.
11:00Quick pass to Tucker.
11:03And he takes the pass.
11:05Blocked, although that might be a save.
11:07Well, that is a save, James.
11:08I don't think the goaltender would have gotten to position in time.
11:11He's able to take it away.
11:12Big time save.
11:14He is looking for it.
11:16Wait to signal it a goal.
11:18It looks like they're holding it, but it looks like they're signaling a goal now.
11:26Well, he had his eyes on the puck.
11:28He tracked it perfectly and got himself set to position, James.
11:31I thought he had it.
11:32He got a good chunk of it.
11:33But he didn't get it all.
11:53St. Petersburg's got a one goal lead after that strike here in the first.
11:57Well, it's all about quick strike.
11:58And now they've got the go-ahead.
12:00So they know that they can be confident with the puck, but they certainly can sit back and protect it.
12:06And claim resumes as the puck is dropped.
12:10Quick shot!
12:11And that one's turned away.
12:13The Leafs gain control of the puck against the wall.
12:17Quick feed to Struboli.
12:22The Leafs have it from their own end.
12:25St. Petersburg's got it now.
12:27Turn that chance aside.
12:30The Leafs gain the zone.
12:37Take it along the wall by Bastion.
12:40Long lead pass into the open ice.
12:46The Leafs have played the puck from behind the net.
12:50Gains the zone through the middle.
12:52Shot!
12:53And just got a piece of it to keep it out.
12:57Takes the feed.
12:59Toranos grab a hold of the puck.
13:01Here's a short pass to Knives.
13:04Oh, a true warrior to block that.
13:07And he gets in front of that.
13:10Passes it to Glenn Dinning.
13:13Clark kicking down here inside the first period.
13:16Slides it diagonally to Nylander.
13:19Through the neutral zone again on the wing.
13:22That's a good heads-up play at center ice.
13:34St. Petersburg's got the puck against the half-rail.
13:37Comes up with a stop!
13:38I think he got a blocker on that one!
13:41And one last save!
13:44Well, there's the horn.
13:46Ending period number one.
13:47But this one is far from over.
