Big last-minute turnaround in Tampa Bay fuels controversy among Leafs fans

The series between the Tampa Bay Lightning and the Toronto Maple Leafs is a particularly intense one. In addition to the war on the ice between the two teams, there is also a psychological war between games and between fans.

In addition to the many altercations that have made headlines since Game 1, Game 3 was another one that ignited the rivalry between the two teams.

During this game, an incident could have had serious consequences, as Brayden Point suffered a dangerous body check from Morgan Rielly and had to leave the game.

Finally, even if the situation seemed very serious at first glance, all indications are that there was more fear than harm, as Lightning head coach Jon Cooper said that Point had a very good chance to be in uniform tonight.

Let's just say that this is very big news for Tampa, who could probably count on their first center for this game, which could be decisive for the rest of the series.

Of course, the fact that the forward already seems to be fit to play, fuels even more the controversy mentioned by Leafs fans, in connection with a supposed fake injury of Point and a manipulation of the Lightning, which circulated on social networks.

The table is set for this fourth confrontation between the Lightning and the Maple Leafs, and it promises for tonight!
