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

[miscs75]

I wonder what they're going to change the rules to in this intermission?

NHL officiating sponsored by FanDuel.

 

[Master P]

Refs just set the standard. Better not call anything short of attempted murder in the 3rd.

Get ready for the softest "hooking" call you've ever seen.

 

[Gjman2019]

And Tavares had a clear run at Bob if he wanted it behind the net to end the period and he pulled up.

Leafs have way too much class to try to take out another player. They want to win because they’re better players, not like Marchand said “to get a bigger advantage”

Tavares not a mean guy...Doesn't have to be to be effective....

Was captain for years dealing with the Toronto media and never once seen him be rude to anyone........

PLAN THE PARADE

Already planned! Big cities have a tendency to make plans for "potential" big events, even when they are near next to impossible.

 

[Summer Rose]

The Leafs are trying to do something different this year. Make it all the way to game 7 of the finals and then blow it. Losing in the 1st and 2nd round isn't enough suffering for us.


Wow, are you the famous Summer Rose from all the likes?

I am the last rose of summer, thus kindly I scatter.

 

[BB79]

Leafs have a horseshoe up their ass. It was bound to happen one year. It's over.

Your boys are only down 1 goal, score the next one and it's a new game but ok

 

[Evilhomer]

It's just the overall smart play now that that is impressing me after they got over the slump with Ottawa.

It's coaching. Simple as that.

 

[jcs0218]

The leafs stopped tampas dynasty and they’re doing their best to kill Florida’s attempt at one

It actually was Colorado that stopped Tampa Bay's dynasty. No need to try to give the Maple Leafs credit for something they didn't do.

Going down 0-2 would be the end of the Panthers

Same as the Caps splitting (maybe) has probably ended them. That’ll be 3-1 after 4.

I think it might be Torontos year. Imho

 

[Pablo El Perro]

Panthers seem to be playing pretty well doing what they usually do but they're getting burnt by the rush . . . a lot.

That happens from time to time, as the Cats D tend to pinch.

 

[Evilhomer]

I'm waiting for the shoe to drop for the leafs it always does .

Keep clinging to that outdated hope. Maybe it will work in the next round. Good luck!

 

[Three On Zero]

I rather enjoy watching Toronto lose, but this year they just have a different aura around them. It's like they actually want to keep playing hockey deep into the post season

 

[SenzZen]

Get off your phone, Elliott!

 

[Hotsam Batcho]

It’s the flopping into the ice and throwing your hands in the air that’s embellishing

He flopped onto the ice and threw his hands in the air? We watching the same play?

 

[Strangle]

Laughton barely touched Rodriguez, he must have been concussed earlier in the game.

Ref was right there, saw the whole thing right Paul?

 

[behemolari]

Going down 0-2 would be the end of the Panthers

not really if they find balance between pressing and collapsing down, most of the Leafs goals have been odd man rushes and those shouldn't happen

 

[eliasjx]

Come on Cats don't let these f***ing losers win. The rest of Canada can't take this.

 

[LeafAttack]

Next call against the Leafs will be 2 mins for spitting on the ice.

 

[T REX]

Ok. Sure. Lol.

 

[The Pale King]

No Leaf fan is acting that way. I'm just happy we are showing we can run the Panthers show when people thought the Panthers would run us over

Maybe you have them blocked, but there's a few. But that's totally valid. Hope you guys can close it out here.

 

[johnnyonthspot]

Agreed this is the leafs year. No chance that Panthers can weather this storm.
I cannot watch this happen.

1967 must continue.

Yeah it's kind of the downside of having that relentless of a forecheck and attack.

The last couple of years have shown that reward far outweighs the risk though.

 

[Erik Alfredsson]

I will say, Toronto is a true Cup threat this year, but they will be in trouble if they matchup against a team with a shooter that beats goalies clean. Because they're cheating the defensive zone a lot. That's paying off for them so far, but it's going to be tough against a team with an elite offensive threat.

Better hope Carolina beats Washington, or Ovi might feast.
