The Lightning scored only 78 seconds into the game and then it was all downhill from there. The Leafs were booed off the ice in the first period, while that didn't happen at the end of the game, mostly because starting down a 7-3 loss, half of the crowd had already left the building. Here's our full recap of the game: [Toronto Maple Leafs Playoff recap: Game one lossThe Toronto Maple Leafs placed fourth in the NHL this season. Fourth in the Eastern Conference. Second in the Atlantic Division. 13 points ahead of the Tampa Bay Lightning, their first round opponents.

Six different Lightning players found the back of the net as they jumped to an early three-goal lead, and then![](https://www.rawcharge.com/favicon.ico)Raw ChargeJustin Godfrey![](https://www.rawcharge.com/content/images/2023/04/raddysh-4-18-23.jpeg)](https://www.rawcharge.com/tampa-bay-lightning-toronto-maple-leafs-7-3-game-one-highlights-brayden-point-recap/?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) Hear is the story from the mouths of the players. We're also waiting to hear today what will happen to Micahel Bunting. > Toronto’s Michael Bunting will have a hearing on Wednesday for an Illegal Check to the Head / Interference against Tampa Bay’s Erik Cernak. > > — NHL Player Safety (@NHLPlayerSafety) [April 19, 2023](https://twitter.com/NHLPlayerSafety/status/1648540632082792448?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) Yeah, this one doesn't look good and I won't be surprised if he's out for the next game. But if he's going to be this reckless he's not an asset out there. > it's interference for sure, head contact is made as well > > match penalty for Bunting [pic.twitter.com/aSVPLhqQkn](https://t.co/aSVPLhqQkn?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) > > — Omar (@TicTacTOmar) [April 19, 2023](https://twitter.com/TicTacTOmar/status/1648495882667724800?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) So where do you sit on this game overall? There seem to be two camps, the first is "calm down it's only one game," vs. the second "yes, it's only one game, but that was one hell of a bad game." I'm in the latter camp and I'm worried. The next game is tomorrow night, but this time it's a normal 7:00 p.m. start. ## Other News Here are the scores from the other games last night. Including the Leafs, the home teams all lost their game: Rangers 5 - Devils 1 Jets 5 - Golden Knights 1 Kraken 3 - Avalanche 1 This big hit flew under the radar here in Toronto because it happened really late Monday night and everyone was wrapped up in the local game here yesterday. But it has proved controversial, however the NHL has said there will be no supplemental discipline. Here's a breakdown of what happened.
