Series Talk: ECSF: (A1)Toronto Maple Leafs vs (A3)Florida Panthers - (Series tied 3-3) Part 2

[BB79]

F$&k them. All the shit talking going on because they were up 2-0 in the series, and now they are nowhere to be found? Soft as their team. Respect to the ones that stick around.

I was more talking about the handful of cool ones we converse with on here

 

[Panthaz89]

Wow

 

[Dread Clawz]

They’ll never be us! Their players are losers who will NEVER commit their bodies to the levels and instances that are required from them in the playoffs.

If they let Marner and Tavares walk, and bring in new blood, I don't see why not. We were not "us" totally until spring of 2023, and even then it took the Boston series to really convince ourselves that we were a great team and to show us how to win. I mean Tkachuk was an absolute megastar that playoffs and the whole season, but they could become something close to us.

 

[Leaf Fans]

So you are happy seeing Florida fans celebrating?

I haven't seen them celebrating. Besides, why not? Their team won the game.

 

[Pablo El Perro]

Dangle just said this:

Since 2018, Mitch Marner has played in 21 elimination games for the Leafs and has 2 goals.

Since 2018, Patrick Marleau also has 2 goals in elimination games, and they came in the same game.

He doesn't know what kind of player Marner is

 

[Sasha Orlov]

"Dad you're embarrassing me"

Need to find out who this guy is, I want to send him some money

I mean, there was a few in the crowd but yeah, they are celebrating the win.

 

[JS19]

Do most Leaf fans think Marner is a goal scorer, or is that just a Dangle thing?

He doesn't need to be a goalscorer, but good lord his numbers are ass for the contract that he has. He's a regular season merchant. Useless in the playoffs.

CP24, a Toronto news station, interviewed some Maple Leafs fans in Maple Leaf Square after Game 5.

Two guys said that the Maple Leafs will "Physically punish the Panthers in Game 6 and Nylander will start scoring multiple goals a game on breakaways".

Then a girl was interviewed, and she said that "We will embarrass Florida in Game 6".

Great to see some more positivity among Maple Leaf fans! Some have given up.

Hopeful Leaf fans who know it's not over until it's over. Why couldn't Toronto comeback?

I gotta respect their unwavering optimism in the face of a potential embarrassing end to the Marner era.

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

The Panthers have knocked out the Leafs, are about to do it again, and they blocked the Oilers from completing the single greatest comeback in hockey history (arguably sports history).

I can't hate them. Hell, they've given me more to cheer about in the last three years than my own team has in the last 14.

I mean, there was a few in the crowd but yeah, they are celebrating the win.

Good for them! Their team won, they can enjoy the spoils.

As it should be. That's the best thing a fan can do. At the end of the day, despite a rather embarrassing showing in game 5, it's still a 3-2 series and they could very well win the next two and move on. If they do that, then they can look at game 5 and say "yeah well that sucked, but we won anyway." Water under the bridge.

It wouldn't be embarrassing for the fans; perhaps, not even for Marner.

Exactly, that is how I feel without any embarrassment.

Florida gave you 3

I mean a GM.The original post was a pic of our current GM being called a loser.

 

[IceManCat]

Why do the Leafs get 3 days in between games, but the Panthers only get 2 days of rest for their home game

 

[Pablo El Perro]

I mean a GM.

You probably don't want that Holland type. Probably get rid of Shanny and work from there.

That's a blessing in disguise. Less days between games makes it harder for the typical Leaf fan to make the trip to Florida.

Why are you wearing Leaf gear? Lost a bet?

I dont think we have anything to worry about ...

 

[Leaf Fans]

Looks like they cant even make a trip to their own arena

Well, they can, but it is a question of desire.

 

[647Hockey]

Geez Louise. What a clunker.

That Stolarz injury changed the series. And the core players disappearing again.

IMO, dont think the Leafs are a changed team this year in the playoffs. That series vs Ottawa racking up goals was against Ullmark who is among the worst playoffs goalies in recent times. If Sens had a good goalie, Leafs would had lost.

What is this desire you speak of

The question of it.
