GDT: ECSF: (A1) Toronto Maple Leafs vs (A3) Florida Panthers - GAME 2 - 7 PM EST IN TORONTO (Mod warning, Post #70)

[SenzZen]

I need a bucket from the fluffing in this intermission…

 

[Pablo El Perro]

Intermission crew are unbearable. Launch these f***ing idiots into the sun

I prefer them doing demos to the Biz personality takes

 

[HockeyVirus]

They all count the same

Yup. Oh no Matthews isn't scoring goals. He is doing his part and beating the Barkov line and freeing up Nylander and our bottom 9 to get their looks

 

[Breakers]

Nylander is broke

Only has 1 suit left

 

[IronHookem]

Holy f*** goalies are flopping worse than ever these days.

Everyone is flopping these days, it just looks more ridiculous when a goalie does it.

 

[Oilslick941611]

Hey Willie, that shut doesn’t fit you

 

[MoreMogilny]

Florida will get worse as the game goes on. They are completely neutralized at even strength. Berube is running circles around Maurice.

I thought Florida carried a lot of the play in that period. Quick in transition and on the forecheck. Not an easy team to defend

 

[behemolari]

I don't see that at all.

Maple Leafs defense is handling the puck well and with confidence. They aren't turning the puck over like some might think they would under a Panthers forecheck.

not yet

 

[Leaf Fans]

Interesting that many posters who were calling for suspension on Tkachuk for not even making contact with Marner now have no problem with successful knee on knee hits

Really makes you think!

Yeah, Florida, keeps doing that. There was a close one by the Leafs too.

Bottom 9 is a new one

 

[HockeyVirus]

Bottom 9 is a new one

Leafs depth >

 

[Mike C]

Well they should considering how many years of experience they have now

They’re producing, but not dominant

Matthew’s still isn’t right. He’s not even shooting the same way

All jokes aside, Marner has been awesome on the PK

 

[IronHookem]

4th line has been looking more dangerous than our 1st, and I am not sure how I feel about that...

 

[Gjman2019]

Eh, any fan who's ever bought a ticket knows the difference between broadcasts and arena volume. Too many people on here use it to say x fans don't care, show up, etc. But that says more about us than anything.

Game one Battle Of Alberta a few years ago during intros there was clear evidence of them drowning out the crowd noise i think....I was upset about that...First time since 1991.....

But anyway i agree with your post........

 

[Ratsreign]

That's a stupid rule

Yes, but it really had become a go to move for too many dmen under pressure.
Should only be for obviously intentional....but then there’s arguments over every call

 

[ProjectPanthers]

Penalties are 8 to 4 for the Leafs?

Colin Campbell has some emails to send!

It would be nice to see Laughton put something on the board

ESPN, TNT, they've done this since they got the TV contract. The Florida broadcast does the same.

They are due for another goal any minute now. If not this game, then surely the next one, right?

 

[HockeyVirus]

Game is far from over but feels like Panthers through everything at the Leafs 5v5 and the Leafs really slept walked through most of that period.

Expecting the Leafs to push in the 2nd

 

[sampollock]

Fla not the same team

The only 2 statistics you need to track:

The concussions doled out are 1 - 0 for Florida this series.
The suspensions for steroids are 1 - 0 for Florida this season.

 

[MoreMogilny]

Leafs depth >

It’s nice that we can count on guys like Pacioretty, Knies, and the D to chip in offensively

Not sure about our depth on the whole yet

Can’t afford to just survive bottom 6 shifts

 

[HockeyVirus]

Fla not the same team

At some point the Leafs will get some respect. Maybe
