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

[Kranix]

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

why can't you just be happy for them?

 

[Strangle]

Leafs might be for real. Panthers look lost. They're done. Unless they win both at home.

Leafs are ding a great job getting Florida off their game so far.

But there’s a lot of hockey left. Need to play the whole 60 minutes without giving them an inch

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Not entirely sure Laughton's hit is as vicious as Sportsnet is saying, but worth 2.

The Florida player knocks the stick to the side at the same time the puck goes there. Don't think that's a penalty and they got it right.

 

[Pablo El Perro]

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

Fans react.

 

[SmoggyTwinkles]

Gotta love Panthers fans trying to do the reverse jinx thing.

We all know the Leafs will go all Leafy and lose.

 

[Mike C]

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

I had Kings and Leafs in finals. This game at home is a must win for Toronto. Can NOT lose home ice vs this team, especially given uncertainty with Stolarz

 

[Just Rude]

Thanks man, good luck in the next round.

Stop it. JFC. It’s far from over.

It’s the Leafs.

 

[eliasjx]

why can't you just be happy for them?

Because it's Toronto, need I say more? About the centre of the f***ing universe?

 

[Oilslick941611]

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

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

I LOVE THIS

But I don’t think it was embellished, but also, it’s the panthers so I don’t care. They play this game, they deserve it back firing on them

 

[authentic]

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”

Atleast when we win the Cup we’ll be able to say we did it with dignity. I can’t imagine how winning would feel good when you have to intentionally injure someone to do it.

These are house cats, not last years Panthers

 

[Leaf Fans]

It is not the Cats it is the Stars. LOL

Rude. We are cheering for the Jets. Leafs - Jets cup final lets go

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.

They are playing differently to counter Panthers aggressive forecheck. You saw the Leafs play passive against Ottawa and lock down defensively.

 

[LeafAttack]

Come on Cats keep playing your game,and lose.

 

[Matt24]

This is objectively as good as the Leafs have played in any playoffs in the Matthews era and it’s not close and they’re doing it with only one of their big four going and having to swap goalies. Full credit to Berube.

 

[Summer Rose]

1967 must continue.

I once said that the Leafs wouldn't win a cup until Jaromir Jagr retired, mostly as a joke based on the running joke that he'd never retire.

I think he said before this season that he wants this year to finally be his last. Therefore, it is written.

 

[Leaf Fans]

1967 must continue.

It will still exist regardless of the outcome.

 

[BMOK33]

This will either go to OT 3-3 or be like 6-2 Toronto

 

[thusk]

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

Leafs are faster than Florida and they use that edge pretty well actually

Ottawa plays a similar game to the Panthers, and they don't really have an elite offensive threat that beats goalies clean on their team either. I don't think they're built to deal with an Ovechkin, or a McDavid or a Rantanen.

Th real truth is none of us really know what's gonna happen......lol

Laughton was a clear 2 min, it was 100% boarding but not that bad

 

[LeafAttack]

Imagine if Matthews gets going.

 

[HockeyVirus]

Problem is Leafs have several options who can do that to teams. The problem has been none of them showed up. They are showing up

Speak for yourself.

I want to see the Panther lose. A dirty, diving team with asshole smug coach and a turtle for a captain…id rather the leafs win.
