VIDEO: Brayden Point was devastated and crying so Pat Maroon made sure he had support
The Tampa Bay Lightning were in Toronto for game 7 last night of the first round and while we all know now how it ended, at this time Brayden Point did not. At the end of the first period, Point went leg first into the boards which caused him to leave injured. He came back out for the second period and played a shift, but it wasn't right.

This early in the game, the Bolts were only up 1-0, so it was still anyone's game, and the fact that Point was too injured to play, he was not taking very well. See below.
