What would be more hilarious:

Leafs lose tonight and get swept

Leafs win games 4, 5, and 6, only to choke game 7 at home

I'm really torn on this one...
if it was first round, i would have said 7 games.

But it's second round. I'd like the sweep. they got past the first round hump, only to get tossed in four would be satisfying. Maybe even better than another first round exit.

BTW, Anyone else Tkachuk skating as slow as his elderly dad would be in a beer league??

I take it he's nursing a "lower body injury" or something.

I’d like the sweep as well. But losing in 7 and keeping Woll busy during the Marlies/Amerks series has its merits.

That 3 on 1 was so slow even Olofsson would have found his way back to defend it

I know that ice is supposed to be slippery. But WTF is with all these players falling over dots, lines, logos and crap???

Toronto is blocking everything…but these aren’t even good shot ideas from Florida. All night…just weak perimeter throws that aren’t dangerous at all.

It’s like bad beer league at points. Obviously not really, but it’s the nhl equivalent if that makes any sense. Is the ice slush? The blade sharpener broken? The puck a rubber ball?

I mean if they let them get through the Panthers do have quite a few guys that are good at deflecting the puck in.

No one has been standing there. They’ve been cycling around and throwing it into D with no one in front of the net.

Bob has to go in the room and just scream at these guys. He’s standing on his head and they look like they’re checked out

Florida looks awful outside of Bob. I thought Barkov was supposed to be good?
Barkov has been disappointing these playoffs. But Florida is an underdog and winning, so he doesn't get the attention the Leafs stars are.

It's simple hockey. The Leafs got a forecheck going and the Panthers aren't winning any puck battles. Leaf's start cycling the puck and Florida is chasing. Florida is unable to acquire the puck cleanly and the delays are disrupting the passing lanes so they end up having zero push through the NZ. Florida has zero sustained offensie and is only getting are single shots on Woll. Leafs are clearing pucks from the slot quickly and really aren't under any pressure when doing so.

Bottom line, Leafs are playing with desperation and the Panthers aren't.
