Vasi won a Conn Smythe the second cup run. Were the voters just that wrong and an average goalie would've done the same? I dunno. That's not to say I'm ride or die with him at this point lately, but give some credit where it's due at least.

Every time the goalie conversation comes up, I think back to the days of Anders Lindback and Mathieu Garon and whatever other nameless face we threw between the pipes running the show.

The nhl has given to panthers the green light in multiple series to target the head. I am waiting for someone to knock out some panthers aka rat pack since their nhl franchise had to steal the mascot from the original south Florida panthers fiu .

Yeah how kulikov is not banned from the league is absolutely insane you watch replays and he litereally leads with hus elbow non stop
That doesn't mean we wouldn't have won with an average goalie. We likely would have. He won the Conn Smyth because he had great numbers and played great, but that doesn't mean we wouldn't have won with average goaltending. I think we would have. He wasn't stealing games or anything.
An average goalie might have lost the Isles series. He stole Game 3, and we needed a shutout in Game 7 since we only scored 1 goal.
I think we played a little lazy vs. The isles. It felt like the most "in control" seven game series I've ever seen.
I just think we were a lot, lot better than everyone that year.
I just think the jury is in on how necessary a star goalie is. And if ever there was a team that would likely win without one, it was us. We had Hedman, McDonagh, or Sergachev on the ice at all times.
That said, we need 5star Vasy a lot more now than we did then.

Leafs needed to win one of these games. Can't see them winning the series now.
Hey if there is a mod around I've got a question. Nothing to do with the Tampa board or anyone here.
Who is moderating the Leafs Panthers GDT on the main boards? Because I was having my posts deleted over and over and eventually my posting privileges were taken away there. No warnings or anything.
Now I know I have a history but NOTHING I posted was bad or troll like in any way.
There are also people posting there that have been saying things that would get me perma'd with no consequences. If you see this I'd like to know what mod it is. Are they a florida fan? Or something.
Thanks.

Clean hit tbh. Nice, solid check the way Panthers fans have taught me. I only wish it was harder.

Marner has to be the softest lackadaisical star player I’ve ever seen play.
Point was up there this year but f*** man marner is hard to watch

Yeah, the refs have lost control of it. Or the league, I guess. Sooner or later the players will police themselves, and with fighting becoming less of a factor, it's gonna be dirt for dirt.

The Leafs had a chance to bury the Panthers in game 3 and now the Panthers are back in it. Hard not to favor them in a best of three.

This was prior to the panthers we play now those islanders played hold and slow down hockey. Defenders were always interfering and what not. Tampa fan knows that Mayfield was a bane and annoying defensive player to play against.

Wednesday night winner probably takes the series IMO. The Man Garage will have a couple of guys over to watch. Plenty of Suds and Detroit pizza.
If Toronto beats Florida I think they'll win it all. This is exactly the kind of series they can't seem to mentally break through.Florida vs Toronto as of right now:
That said, I'm still picking Florida. They're just a nightmare of a team.
