00:11The Pairs won the last time in this ongoing rivalry.
00:16Pajal's contributions in the last meeting included playmaking and physicality.
00:21Nyes had a bunch of hits and even a goal in the last meeting.
00:26Two dynamic stars.
00:28Two fierce rivals.
00:30It's a grudge match, and it's next.
00:34Both these teams look ready to go, as does the official.
00:38Let's bring it on.
00:40The Pairs have won the draw, and we are now underway.
00:43Just a great defensive read there.
00:46A score!
00:48And this is Demar.
00:49And it's already turned it up a notch after that strike.
00:52Anytime you're sitting in the dressing room pregame, you know what everyone's talking about is getting a great start.
00:57And it's all around the room, and they do just that, and they elevate this crowd.
01:01The energy in the air is exciting.
01:04I love the way that he creates the space with his speed here.
01:08And, I mean, if you look at him in the way he attacks, he knows exactly where he's going to
01:11go.
01:11But he's driving play because he trusts his feet.
01:14I mean, he is so fast.
01:16He blows by the defender, and then he puts it in.
01:18That's just great from start to finish.
01:32Well, after that last goal, we're starting to see a recurring theme here with you-know-who.
01:36Well, yeah, I mean, the point-per-game player against this rival opponent, James.
01:40And every time he gets the puck, he just seems to make things happen.
01:43He faces a new sense of urgency every time he's facing this opponent.
01:47Quick feed to Jones, and now it's over to Fabry.
01:51The Leafs are going to hold the puck in their own end.
01:55Cannav's got it in the defensive end.
01:58Directs it on over to Riley.
02:01Matthews crosses the line and is on the attack.
02:03This is his turn, and that brings it to Dwayne.
02:08He knows that's number 20, James, and that signifies a solid season.
02:12He's been consistent.
02:13He's found the back of the net.
02:14He's been a real producer for this club.
02:17I love the way they were able to execute on this odd man rush.
02:20James really used the ice to their advantage, manipulating their opponent the ice that they did have.
02:25And then they were able to capitalize when the shot came their way.
02:40And they're trailing in this game, and they've been on a losing streak, and they're trying to just orchestrate some
02:46kind of energy.
02:47And the coach behind the bench isn't having any of it right now because he's frustrated.
02:51Frustrated at the result, but also frustrated at the process, trying to find a way to get his team activated.
02:59Matthews wins it inside the neutral zone.
03:01And now he tries to get it across to nines.
03:05And that was right perfect, and what a play by Jones.
03:08Corrado's got possession of the puck.
03:11Slides it diagonally to Nylander.
03:15Tried to get 2Q with it and loses possession.
03:18Well, he's showing off his skill set, trying to make a silky move around the defender, but he gets denied.
03:24Corrado's got a hold of it along the wall.
03:27Wall's been a reason why his team's in the win column.
03:29I mean, he's done everything he could between the pipes, as indicated by that save right there.
03:33Every time he's between the pipes, he gives his team an opportunity.
03:39Still plenty of time left in this frame.
03:42The Leafs have recently taken a two-goal lead.
03:45They'd love to build on it.
03:46Here's a chance.
03:48Right in the low slot.
03:50And there it is.
03:51Stopped by Mrazic.
03:52And they'll get a breather as the goaltender covers it up.
04:04The Bears take possession off the faceoff.
04:09Moves the puck over to Obey Pavel.
04:14Picked up along the wall by Kaepernick.
04:18The Leafs grab possession to the puck.
04:22Hartman's across the line now and on the attack and the offensive end.
04:27Handles the puck.
04:30Moves inside.
04:32Great heads up play in the defensive zone.
04:37Taken by Kaepernick.
04:39Passed up by the glove.
04:40Nice play there.
04:51Nice play there.
04:53The Leafs start with the puck in their own end.
05:00Sends the pass over.
05:03Can't connect on the shot.
05:05And now it's grabbed by Stenland.
05:09The Bears have it now.
05:12Takes the feed from the left side.
05:16The Leafs played along the wing.
05:18Shot.
05:19Oh, that's a great shot block there.
05:21Well, yeah.
05:21I mean, it's a great scoring chance.
05:23And you want to make sure that you get in front of that one.
05:25And he did.
05:25He gets all of it.
05:28Slides and drops.
05:30Slides and drops.
05:32He's in.
05:32And that shot dives in traffic.
05:35Here's a feed in front.
05:36And cancels are someone in front.
05:41Dunks the puck in.
05:44St. Petersburg's got the puck along the boards.
05:49Corolla's got it in the neutral zone.
05:51And that's broken up.
05:53Puck scooped up by McMahon.
05:55Makes the save.
05:57The Bears have it against the wall.
06:02Here's a pass to the middle.
06:09Here's a short pass to Riley.
06:13Corolla's got the puck against the half wall.
06:16And that's just out of reach.
06:22Moves it to Riley.
06:23Gets the puck over to Tavares.
06:26Turns out and away.
06:28Oh, what a save as he denies them again.
06:31When that puck came hard and it came fast and it came multiple times.
06:34But he was right on it.
06:35Showing his athleticism to make those saves.
06:38Moves it quickly over to Bastion.
06:40The Leafs gain possession along the wall.
06:43Oh, and some smooth skating to lose the defender there.
06:46And it comes up with a stop there.
06:49Sometimes we have no time to think.
06:50You make these types of saves.
06:52I mean, there's no hesitation here.
06:53Just simply reaction to be able to make it.
06:55And knocks it down out of mid-air.
06:58They put the puck into the offensive end.
07:00Quick pass across to Jenner.
07:03Gaining momentum along the boards.
07:07And that's not the way by the hall.
07:11Scoops up the puck now.
07:16Uses the force on that hit.
07:20And the puck leaves the offensive end.
07:22They'll be forced to do it over from center.
07:25Toronto's on the attack.
07:27That knocks them off the puck.
07:29St. Petersburg's got control of it now from their own end.
07:33Quick pass to Jones.
07:37Tindles the pass.
07:38And a great scene.
07:40Wolves to the hang on for a whistle.
07:44Well, that's an absolutely massive hit, James.
07:47These are the types of hits that can change the landscape of the game.
07:50The power of the legs right through the body.
07:53Lack of awareness there on the puck carrier.
07:56More than half the period has expired.
07:59The Leafs are currently sitting in the driver's seat leading 2-0.
08:03Kapanen's willing to face off here in the outfit's his own.
08:07Great read to break up the play.
08:09He's got a step.
08:10And that chance falls apart.
08:12Well, yeah, and I think that, you know, he was looking at the goaltender,
08:16seeing where they were at, right?
08:18So recognizing whether he needed to shoot or Deke.
08:21And just a misfire, a miscue there that's extremely frustrating for him and his team.
08:26Answers the call big time.
08:28What a stop by Mrazek.
08:35Toronto's capitalized on their offensive abilities here in this first period.
08:45St. Petersburg's got the win off that draw.
08:51Moves around and on the half wall.
08:54The Leafs have played the puck from behind the net.
08:57Tries to get it to Knives.
08:59Quick feed to Nylander.
09:01Slides the puck across to McCabe.
09:05Great reach with the poke check by D'Angelo.
09:08Good check, frees the puck up.
09:10Here's an odd man rush.
09:13Feeds an over-up attack.
09:14He scores up the defender and into the net.
09:24I can't tell you how many times this has happened to me, James.
09:27As the puck is coming towards you, it winds up hitting you and goes off.
09:31It goes the other way.
09:32Fools the goaltender who doesn't have a chance.
09:47St. Petersburg's got themselves a goal back, and they're right into it once again.
09:51Well, it only takes one to reset the light for this team,
09:54and you can certainly see it as the bench erupted with that goal.
10:10More than half the frame has been played here.
10:18St. Petersburg's trailing by one.
10:21Corrado's won the draw.
10:24And he takes the dish.
10:26St. Petersburg's ready to go on the attack.
10:30There's only one goal away, James, of his next milestone right here.
10:34Takes a shot to Miles.
10:37He's on the one-timer.
10:41Juarez got the puck in his own zone.
10:43Dumps it in.
10:46Feeds the puck over to Struble.
10:48Moves it to Pahal.
10:51Keating steam here on the attack.
10:53And that doesn't reach the net.
10:57Climbing right to the front.
10:59Huge steal at his own end.
11:01Well, no question.
11:02This is a frustrating play for everyone.
11:04It almost feels like it's going from bad to worst.
11:06You're losing.
11:07You're trying to get something going.
11:08Instead, you turn over the puck.
11:11Puck grab by Tucker.
11:14Here's a short pass to Fabry.
11:16The Leafs have a hold of it in the defensive zone.
11:20Ships off the coverage.
11:22St. Petersburg's got control of the puck.
11:26Unable to reach that one.
11:28Unable to reach that one.
11:29Unable to reach that one.
11:30Loves the puck.
11:30Yeah, yeah, yeah.
11:31The Leafs will play it in their own end.
11:35Here we go.
11:36Odd man rush here.
11:39Moves it to Fabry.
11:41The Bears looking against the half wall.
11:45Shots him for the puck, and it's knocked away.
11:47Moves it quickly over to Jones.
11:52And he takes the feed.
11:55Quick pass to Burrell.
11:57Scores him on the right-timer.
11:59And he makes that save as well.
12:03Takes a shot.
12:04Back is off the clock.
12:06I'm going to say, good goal.
12:08Great positioning by the goaltender to redirect it to the corner,
12:12getting it out of danger.
12:13And he'll hang out of the puck for a much-needed whistle.
12:17Well, and this is huge, James.
12:18The ability to slow the game down, get a line change.
12:21There's no one happier than the coach right now.
12:23In the final moments of this period,
12:25the Leafs lead at 2-1 in what has been an entertaining game thus far.
12:30Quick feed to Tanner.
12:32And that shot gets blocked by one of his own teammates.
12:36And the puck clears the zone.
12:38From the left side, it moves to the middle of the ice.
12:41And that's a smart heads-up play by Kaepernick.
12:46Winding down the final minute of this opening frame.
12:49And he gets him from the left.
12:51From behind the net.
12:53St. Petersburg's got the puck for down the wall.
12:56The wall has got the puck, and he's going to hang on.
13:03Puck ready to drop here any moment to get things underway again.
13:09And they win the defensive zone face-off.
13:14Corrado's got the puck at the defensive end.
13:16Here they come on the attack.
13:19He has won a shot here on the die.
13:20He's second in the period.
13:22And he lose one.
13:24Stops the rocket of a shot.
13:43And that will put a bow on the first 20 minutes of action here tonight.
13:47We've got lots more still to come.
13:48Second period is just around the corner.
13:50Come on.
19:58We're right back.
24:18We're right back.
24:51Tremendous use of the body on the plane.
24:57Takes the feed.
24:58Off the coast.
25:00St. Petersburg's been working hard, and they're still in a game here.
25:03Yes, they hit the pipe and it went out, but they're still in a game.
25:06They have to fight right to the end.
25:08Oh, the whole team is reeling here inside the defensive zone, and the fans are nervous.
25:14Sends it to the point to Burroughs.
25:16Another feed.
25:18Here's a feed.
25:19Makes the save.
25:21And the defenders come away with it.
25:23And they skate it out of the danger zone.
25:26Toss it up on the plane.
25:28Can't get it to go.
25:30There's the pros and cons of technology.
25:32You're no longer using a tree, but you have a better flex,
25:36but you can almost see the stick look like it's going to snap in half
25:39with that bottom-hand pressure.
25:42Oh, my!
25:44Oh, it's denied by Wall!
25:46In the pucks in the low slot, the goaltender gets right out next to the shooter and makes the save.
25:52Taken by Skruble.
25:54In close!
25:56Stopped by the goaltender.
25:58Wall's had a solid night between the pipes, James.
26:01I mean, he's done everything he could to stop the puck as indicated by his save percentage,
26:05but his team has also been really strong.
26:07Got the confidence of their netminder, and they've created a ton of opportunities.
26:11Quick feed to Barron.
26:12The Leafs have it behind the net.
26:15For Harrison!
26:16Oh, and an even save on the slapper!
26:20They've got numbers here.
26:23Cutting to the front of the net!
26:24They got a whistle as the puck's frozen.
26:26Well, the consecutive sellout streak continues here in this barn, and the players gotta recognize this around the league.
26:34Wouldn't they, Cheryl?
26:35Absolutely.
26:36I mean, you come into a barn, and you sense that the fan base is electric.
26:40You know that they're there for their team because they've been playing well, and you feel that as a player.
26:44You recognize it, and you want to do well for your fan base when they continue to come out.
26:49And takes that one right in the chest and doubles it up!
26:57The Bears have had their chances, but they still trail late in the second.
27:03St. Petersburg's got the puck inside the offensive zone.
27:07Slides it across!
27:12Quick feed down low.
27:14Here's a short pass to Kurtzier.
27:18Pass back to the front.
27:19And that was our player in front.
27:22And now it's grabbed by Edmund Larson.
27:25The Bears gain possession.
27:28Here we go!
27:28They've really ratcheted up the intensity here now in the O Zone.
27:32There's a save!
27:34Oh, wow!
27:35What a great save!
27:36And they go the other way as they clear the zone!
27:41He grabs the puck here at the point.
27:43Takes it right in the chest!
27:45And we're gonna get a whistle here.
27:52Late goings of this period.
27:53The Leafs are up 3-1.
28:01And they take possession off the drive here at the right end.
28:07The Dodon's going to have to keep his head up, James.
28:09I mean, he caused that injury on a hometown player, and the crowd is frustrated, and they're
28:13booing every time he touches the puck.
28:14And that goes off!
28:16The glove play continues here!
28:22The centers will glide into the dot.
28:30Second intermission approaching quickly here.
28:33Turns it away on the slasher!
28:36Shakes off with a finger with some nifty moves!
28:39Penalty coming up as the play's blown dead.
28:43The balls are off to the box.
28:46Interference the call.
28:47Well, this is a good call because it is interference.
28:50You have to allow your opponent to fight for a loose puck.
29:00It's the first penalty kill for this team tonight, guys.
29:04And we know their unit is right towards the bottom of the league.
29:07But this team's confidence can sometimes lower power the skill that they show.
29:11So, let's see what they can get going for right now.
29:13There's a little mustard on the hip to knock the bumpers.
29:18The Leafs take possession in the neutral zone.
29:22Sends the puck across!
29:24Takes it to the front!
29:26Bumped off the puck!
29:27Deep inside the defensive end, still trying to clear.
29:34Corrado's got a hold of it along the wall.
29:37And they continue to apply pressure here.
29:40St. Petersburg's got control of it now here on the offensive end.
29:44Locked in traffic!
29:50And there's the horn.
29:52Two down, one more to go.
29:54Both teams will get a chance to catch their breath
29:56and get ready for a big third period next.
29:59And fans, don't forget to pick up your team colors.
30:03They're available in section 144 at the team kiosk.
30:07Optimus!
30:08He must nons!
30:11Here's the crown!
30:11Theelinels!
30:30We've got five rounds in cv.
30:35And forgiven our newということで
30:35You are broke
30:36The bullet has a natural fist and all the time of something
30:37And so picks up more stringy!
39:55Here they come.
40:45We're right back.
41:08We're right back.
41:40We're right back.
42:01We're right back.
42:22We're right back.
