Brandon Hagel hit on Barkov-1 game suspension

[FinlandPanther]

Well I'm focused on Ottawa, that job not done yet.

But ina general sense I'm confident in this team .

I trust Berube

your boy Stolarz has been fantastic all year

Tanev, Carlo and OEL have made this into a real defense.

Your boy Lorentz is clutch he had 8 goals 5 were game winners.

I'm confident in this team.

But even if I did have a horse in that race do you think I'd be cheering for a Barkov injury?

No I don't do that,that's bullshit.

I'm a fan of the game I want to see the best players in the world, if Barkov injured the quality of the product suffers.

I mean I think your be lying if you said you would rather face the cup champs than Tampa bay.

Bring on anyone tbh.

We want Florida!
We want Florida!

We want Florida!

Sure do. Better than the Alternative of not playing a Florida team

 

[Idiot Stick]

why is this turning into a florida vs leafs discussion

Because EVERYTHING is about the Leafs.....

Back on topic: Very dirty hit, former Shark Joonas Donskoi said in Finnish media he expects 7-8 games.

Puck wasn't in play, should be a suspension if Barkov is injured.

The puck was in play

Looks like a good hockey play to me and a clean hit. What is the hearing for?

The puck was "in play" in the sense that the clock was running.

How uncharacteristically optimistic of the Finns.

 

[Ezekial]

If he has the puck that hit is clean as the day is long.
One game just to shut everyone up about it.

But he never had the puck so it's not.

Exactly, so what’s the talk of “the puck was not in play” supposed to mean?

 

[FinlandPanther]

I guess with panthers fans talking Florida/Toronto in our thread it’s probably expected that we do it in this thread too.

I agree, bring on anyone. Everyone is underestimating the leafs and I’m sure Florida will be too. Florida is thought to be the best in the east which should piss the leafs off.

I don’t think floridas skill matches Toronto. They’re a rat type of team that I don’t see Toronto backing down from on the physical side either.

Bob could be the difference maker, but if the leafs can solve him I think they take the panthers in a 7 game series

We don’t underestimate you, we don’t give a f*** who we play. We are going to go at you hard. If you think our skill doesn’t match you then you’re the one underestimating us.

 

[eojsmada]

Definitely interference and he leaves his feet. Will depend on whether Barkov is injured or not as to whether it is 1 or 2 games.

 

[MMANumminen]

I have no horse in this race, thats a 2 min penalty nothing more

Maybe if he possessed the puck. This was just predatory hit to take out the best enemy player

As a Leaf fan I agree with you.
Top six is a wash until the core four show that they can be game breakers against a goalie with a sv% above .800 and even our D is very similar.
We have a new identity and play a tighter defensive game but haven't had to chase the game in the playoffs yet.
I think it would be a better series from the last time we met.
Could be a fun series if we both make it out of this one healthy

Look again?

You can't hit someone who doesn't have possession -- that's what.

Agreed all I’m saying is that both these teams are extremely talented. If you want to go by like a PURE skill standpoint yeah maybe Toronto has a slight edge, but that doesn’t mean anything in playoffs. Tkachuk, Barkov, and Reinhart are absolutely stars. And Barkov and Reinhart are both Selke caliber players.

That’s not true. When Marchand did that to Hyman in 2018 it was a good hockey play. Has something changed?

 

[BLONG7]

Any word on the possible suspension?

Bruins always have hard hockey plays, and Gary takes his orders from Charlie, so..........

Phone hearing lmao

I don't know how much hockey you think i watch but I don't know what you're talking about. Post an example.

We also have rumors circulating that there is a high ranking nhl executive on the Panthers payroll. His codename is "Comissioner Buttman". I doubt we'll ever know who that really is.

 

[King Woodballs]

But he never had the puck so it's not.

Ok and?
I said give him a game.
