GDT: ECSF: (A1) Toronto Maple Leafs vs (A3) Florida Panthers - GAME 3 - 7 PM EST IN FLORIDA

[JPeeper]

Tkachuk looks like he can barely skate. I think we are going to find out after this series ends that his groin tear is severe. You have to respect what a competitor he is.

It's hard to criticize because he DOES have a Cup, but he gets injured every playoffs, his entire career has been like this. Flames in the bubble he couldn't play because of injury, when we failed against the Oilers he broke his hand fighting in the first round and was USELESS against the Oilers, the first year against Vegas playing for Florida he was hurt, this year he's hurt.

Sam Bennett is certainly the MVP for Florida for taking out Stolarz

All I’ve read for two years is how Woll is elite

Shouldn’t be a problem

 

[syz]

Berube and the Leafs trainers deserve a lot of criticism right now for not taking Stolarz out when he was concussed early on

As does the concussion spotter, who if I'm remembering right also ignored another goalie getting kneed in the head around the end of round 1.

 

[McHelpus]

Matthews gotta show up at some point.

 

[McFlash97]

I truly believe that Florida has been the better team this series. Florida has been outplaying Toronto for most of the series, if you look at the games objectively.

But bad goaltending and defensive miscues leading to odd-man rush goals has put them in a very big hole.

Hockey games can be won and lost in a matter of seconds, even when you outplay the other team for long stretches at a time.

Let's see if Florida can win this evening and try to make a series out of it.

Well Florida did that to Tampa. So now the roles are reversed

 

[jcs0218]

I disagree with just about everything you’ve said

But let’s see if Toronto can stop Florida from making this a series

You are entitled to. But the majority of each game since about midway through the 1st game has been spent in Toronto's end.

Toronto has scored on some odd-man rushes to win their games, but they have been on the defensive for most of the series.

Like a scholar at the library I was waiting and looking diligently for this one

 

[Ratsreign]

Sam Bennett’s elbow preventing a sweep

 

[Oilslick941611]

wow the leafs stopped skating.

 

[Kranix]

E-Rod isn't a threat in the slot. Don't pass to him

 

[Strangle]

Nylander is cooked tonight

 

[Rhaegar Targaryen]

As does the concussion spotter, who if I'm remembering right also ignored another goalie getting kneed in the head around the end of round 1.

Yup, lots of blame to go around

It's hard to criticize because he DOES have a Cup, but he gets injured every playoffs, his entire career has been like this. Flames in the bubble he couldn't play because of injury, when we failed against the Oilers he broke his hand fighting in the first round and was USELESS against the Oilers, the first year against Vegas playing for Florida he was hurt, this year he's hurt.

Iirc wasn't one of the comments on him in his draft year that he empties the tank so much he sometimes doesn't have any left when it matters? A double edge sword kinda thing.

I'd be more annoyed as a Panthers fan this year given he didn't get injured in a Panthers uniform this time.

 

[Ryuji Yamazaki]

Panthers woke up, Leafs are f***ed

 

[dhfa]

Leafs leafing in the 2nd

The difference between him and Matthews is Tkachuk actually plays hard to get those injuries. With Matthews its always the softest shit imaginable

 

[pi314]

Leafs gonna Leafs.

 

[Orfieus]

I'm not concerned. Far from over

 

[HockeyVirus]

Leafs the only team where the standard is perfection.

 

[Monsieur Miz]

Oof, Leafs are looking bad.

 

[Rhaegar Targaryen]

Benoit is having a tough game

 

[IceManCat]

Lmfao the standard has never been perfection

 

[Sasha Orlov]

Leafs getting manhandled right now, need the intermission badly
