In a hockey game, there are certain tacks used to settle things down, to stymie momentum, and to minimize the damage when things aren't going particularly well.
The Toronto Maple Leafs used none of them in Game 4 versus the Tampa Bay Lightning.
Reserving their worst stretch of shifts in the entire series for their first few at the outset of a game in which they possessed a chance to take a stranglehold on the series, the Maple Leafs were run out of the building as quickly as they arrived.
Steven Stamkos scored the game's opening goal before Toronto could complete its first change at the one-minute mark.
