GDT: Around the League - 2021/22 - Playoffs edition

Bettman won't be too happy about the lack of noise by Florida fans. He's like I give you every advantage and you guys barely cheer in round 2 game 1.

 

[2 Slick]

It's funny seeing Florida's game day thread, doesn't have as many posts as our locker-room clean-up day thread lmao love it.

 

[Nylanderthal]

So that Tampa team looks pretty good hey?

 

[3blizzard4]

Hey Florida, do one those regular season comebacks here

 

[Gallagbi]

Tampa will gladly trade PPs with any team since they can actually score

Feels like their top tier is more efficient ln the PP, especially with Point out. Kuch and Stamkos do well with each other and feed off the space.

 

[TheTotalPackage]

What a wasted opportunity by the Leafs to have not pounced on the series with Vasilevskiy crapping the bed for six games.

He's destined to go on a lights out roll now.

 

[WatchOut]

Man is that building Quiet

 

[leafsfan5]

Tampa back to the well-oiled machine they are, we had them human for most of the series

God I'm so pissed we couldn't close the deal

 

[Stolie the Goalie]

We're going to be kicking ourselves for not getting rid of these guys when we had the chance

I think it will a repeat of last year. A team which defeated the Leafs will go all the finals.

Tampa knows how to score on the PP in the playoffs. Leafs choke on theirs. Kudos to Tampa and real coaching.

 

[blue stick]

neither of those shit fan bases deserve these teams

 

[Stephen]

Well, Florida did make it 2-2 on the PP until the refs decided nope.

I had the winner of TB-TOR going to the finals

We just have a mental block/complacency that didn't allow us to get the job done. It's extremely frustrating

Looked about the same to me. Some breakdowns that Florida is prone to really cost them

Seems familiar.

 

[Eternal Leaf]

Tampa's players are simply seasoned playoff vets. They get how to win the key moments.

5on3 and those awkward goal/no goal calls didn't help

 

[leafsfan5]

Thing is Toronto doesn't have the kinds of breakdowns Florida does

Plus, we're a faster club overall which gave TB some trouble

That's my point, I don't think Tampa looked any better or that we got a sleepy version of them

I agree, I think Toronto is probably their toughest challenge until the Avs (if they make it to the finals)

If we knew how to close out a series they'd be at home right now. But alas.....

Yeah I don't think it is coaching. Coaching plays in if you aren't getting looks. Our guys got looks, they just couldn't convert. And then they panicked and reverted to iso, which especially doesn't work when people aren't converting.

I don't think their PP coaches are telling them to play iso. Unless three different coaches don't have eyes, they know it doesn't work.

Makes the Leafs look good and bad. Good in that they are so close and they can go on a run when they win one round, but bad they have been close for a long time.

Also it should be 4-0 Avs. Of course Blues score on their first chance

 

[stickty111]

Kadri's skating has taken a big step recently

 

[Superstar]

So that Tampa team looks pretty good hey?

After playing the Leafs, they might breeze through the Panthers...they weren't great against Washington.

 

[MikonD600]

Puck obviously out of play so that's a pretty dumb take on the refs.
