We get Florida’s A game tonight.
All good. Leafs just have to show up too. This will be a tight game.

Also looking at this Bob stat where guys score... 100% you score on him up high glove side and roof it. Up high in general but glove side forsure.
 
Leafs are great at blocking shots... and faceoffs... makes a big difference.

However the offense from the D has been amazing. If they can keep this up to a certain extent... that's massive. It feels like Berube is letting that happen more come playoffs.

They didn't do this as often in the regular season.

Need to add in... Carlo has helped Mo so much.
 
Ignore Bennett, time for payback later. I think we get the whistles tonight because of what happened in Game 1. That means our power play MUST perform. If that happens WE WIN. GO LEAFS GO!!!!!
Finish your checks. Finish the checks plus an extra half step if he is the recipient.

Any revenge needed would be a playoff win. Any necessary justice can be meted out during the regular season next year.

It will all come down to how Woll starts the game. If hes shaky the team will start scrambling to cover and Florida will smell blood.
 
Never let an opportunity go to waste though.

Just going back and looking at the shit Maurice has been saying in the media the last couple days.

He's doing a great job at deflecting and taking the heat off his team... but already getting tired of his smudge f***ing cocky bullshit.

Okay we get it Maurice. Time to go back to coaching.

I know the Toronto media is a lot ... fair... but just stop.
 
Nylander has stepped up two games in a row.

I'd love to see a big two goal, three or four point game tonight from Matthews, Marner or JT.

Wouldn't complain if Nylander goes off again.
He's on a heater. Wondered where he was a bit in the 1st round... still had 9 points lol.

Then gets 3 more 1st game. Nylander come playoffs is generally a gamer.

Leafs keep it going... he's leading the way so far.

Go watch the clips of him chirping Marner and Matthews on the bench. He's just ready to go.

I know people talk about the flamingo bullshit but Nylander isn't that guy anymore. He's grown as a player and loves being a Leaf. I have all the time for him when he isn't quite having a game.
 
Weather the storm early on, try to play with the lead... Last game it was Nylander that carried the offence, this time it needs to be Matthews or Marner.

I feel like the refs might be the star of the show tonight, especially with the Bennett drama. Try to stop the game from getting chaotic.

We are the storm

Leafs generally do not retaliate so there’s way too much talk about this.

I expect the Leafs to be a man short first in this game, with some very weak call.

I expect Florida to come out and try to run them over. They’ve done all this before and gotten away with it. There’s no reason for them to be careful.

But if the Leafs can just play smart, they can win. At some point Matthews and Marner need to look like superstars or none of this matters. We’re just going through the motions en route to another early exit

No, the time for payback is *now*. By beating them. The absolute worst thing the team could do is get goaded into a physical war with these guys but that's exactly what Florida's hoping for. Nothing will hurt them more than just ignoring their douchebaggery and playing our game. I think Berube is smart enough to know this and has laid down the law.
 
Panthers will definitely ramp up their cheap shots until they get the retaliation they're looking for. Lets hope Woll isn't the target.
