how did we take florida to 7 lmao

Same way we took every other team to 7 games every other year we lost.

Yeah ok lmao!

Bob was crap in the first two games mostly.

I actually do think they could beat Carolina, but it means F-all now....

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Back to Freddy for game four?

They can put both goalies in there. Won't make a difference

 

[TheGreenTBer]

Sometimes I hate being in the Atlantic.

Then I realize that evidence strongly suggests we'd fail in the other division too.

 

[IPS]

We can go ahead and add Carolina on the hypothetical list of teams the Leafs would have KICKED THE SHIT OUT OF.


Am I doing it right?

 

[garce]

Tkachuk non factor and puts on a show for the cameras family trait

 

[GQS]

People who have said Marchand might want to sign with the Leafs and I'm wondering why when you're playing with the Panthers who are kicking ass right now and will probably continue to do so for the next several years until you retire. You won't ever have as good a chance to win another cup as you will staying with Florida.

 

[Revolt]

Although I think most of us realize we need change, watching Florida absolutely dummy Carolina makes you think If we should run it back one more time.

I wouldn’t, but does make you think.

He's working on a -4 right now.

Good prep for golfing season, really.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Some of these guys have to run out of gas eventually, right??? THREE straight finals?!?

Test them all. Ekblad might be a supplier

No, it shouldn't change our opinion in the least. Once Florida got their goaltending going they cruised through us.

We aren't close. We've tried the same core 9 times and they've won less playoff series' during that time, combined, than Florida is going to win this year alone.

They failed.

 

[Bellefour20]

Canes fans blowing this series.

Leafs couldn't hang with the Panthers in 3 of the final 4 games of the series. It may have went 7, but it wasn't close overall

Test them? Those are Gary's babies it will never happen.

 

[ToneDog]

Easy solution. They need Marner

Not even Marner can save them against these Cats.

 

[keonsbitterness]

When does Florida start trying?

 

[ToneDog]

Bob did not show up until game 3.

 

[weems]

Panthers basically create a very uncomfortable enviroment for opposing star players.

No time and space, finish every check, throw some dirtbag moves in there to frustrate.

This stuff just accumulates and by the end of the series you're done.

Stats will never be able to measure this.

 

[Daisy Jane]

so I am guess being blown out 3 games in a row, is the pressure that bad in Carolina too?

well i see no sign that the canes have anything approaching game 6 Leafs. small consolation

 

[Leaffan1991]

We are going to run it back again aren't we?

Probably because winning with the Panthers is irrelevant, those fans will forget and abandon the team the second they are not even bad but just meh.

Winning in Toronto would immortalize you and the Leafs were his childhood team that he rekt during his playing days.

Could be total pipe dream by me, but if he was really a Leaf fan growing up and there's nothing really left to do in his career, chasing Toronto immortality is way more interesting than winning down south.

Yep. Their key is to be aggressive everywhere, forcing you to make a good play for a clear or scoring chance.

Some teams are too concerned with protecting the 'home plate' area in the D zone and just let the opponent cycle all day. Panthers will pressure the puck carrier regardless of where they are

 

[MSZ]

We are going to run it back again aren't we?

Shanny is gone. Have some faith alright?
