There should be a written rule in all sports, fans must be put in the exact same situation if they try to downplay or otherwise undermine the severity of an injury.

 

[SenzZen]

Hopefully the concussion spotter does their job tonight.

 

[ashs]

Leafs against the world. Let's get er done boyz.

 

[Leafsfan74]

We just want a fair and honest product! A sport where athletes of the highest character win their matches through fair play and good sportsmanship. May the best team win!

 

[Jean Luc Discard]

Panthers: elbows up
Leafs: heads down

 

[Strangle]

If Stolarz can’t go tonight I think Woll looks a hell of a lot better tonight.

I personally think he’s a better goalie than Stolarz, and I think very highly of Stolarz

GO LEAFS GO!

 

[ashs]

Regardless of who's in net. We just gotta play our game.

 

[dangomon]

Hopefully the concussion spotter does their job tonight.

....Hopefully they aren't needed.

 

[93gilmour93]

Stolarz or Woll?

Doesn't matter....

Leafs go up 2-0 tonight

LFG

 

[HockeyVirus]

Leafs gameplan is to go out and win game 2. Not going to try and get revenge on Bennett or run Bob and get a major and allow the Panthers to score 2 goals on it. We did that shit in the past against the Bruins it doesn't work.

Come out and forecheck the balls off of them again like you did, get traffic, and get pucks on Bob early. Best revenge is heading to Florida up 2-0

GLG

 

[Felidae]

Do the hockey world a favour and sweep the Paid Panthers

 

[SenzZen]

....Hopefully they aren't needed.

I thought it goes without saying, but sure it begs repeating.

They will be in attendance, so getting someone out when they need to be evaluated- rather than turning a blind eye because they’re an important player and they don’t want to have to take out an important player, even though they’ve just been drilled in the head- needs to happen.

 

[Evilhomer]

I think both games 2 and 3 go to overtime, and the Leafs win both of them, with Woll stealing one of them.

 

[behemolari]

Regardless of who's in net. We just gotta play our game.

which is run towards net

 

[behemolari]

....Hopefully they aren't needed.

have you been watching Florida games recently, I don't remember when was last time someone was not concussed

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

Why does everybody hate the Panthers

 

[Leaf Fans]

Why does everybody hate the Panthers

I don't hate the Panthers.

 

[ShootIt]

Mods must be loving this thread. lol

Seen quite a few posts vanish.

Over under page two for a warning post?

 

[thusk]

Why does everybody hate the Panthers

They're dirty and intentionally injuring or attempt to injure opposing player, that's pretty #1 reason why

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Why does everybody hate the Panthers

They are playing the team I want to win.

 

[93gilmour93]

Why does everybody hate the Panthers

Cause they've earned that hate over the last few years. Not cause they play tough hockey but because some of the players go out to purposely injure other players

 

[Ratsreign]

They're dirty and intentionally injuring or attempt to injure opposing player, that's pretty #1 reason why

This is such overblown bullshit. It’s freaking ridiculous.

 

[Rob Brown]
