Series Talk: ECSF: (A1) Toronto Maple Leafs vs (A3) Florida Panthers (Series Tied 2-2)

Somehow I doubt that. You Florida fans are weirdly obsessed with Toronto. But you’re right, we’re all here now and we’ll see who comes out on top.

Not him...He's a good guy.......

Haha.

 

[Fatass]

Picked Leafs before the playoffs to go to the Cup (lose to the Avs) Final.
Leafs 4-1 win the series.

 

[Divine]

I free pass that took you 6 games to win, and two of those win in OT

Yes, they won twice as many games as the Sens.

 

[Kegu]

You think HFBoards is most Toronto fans?

The Leafs forums have 2 million more posts than any other teams forum. Obviously there aren't more leaf fans here than others combined but they absolutely have way more representation than any other fan base ainec.

We don’t think about you at all. You had a thread dedicated to us all season lmao

Leafs in 6, not worried

Relax dude lol. You’ve got our attention now that we’re done with Ottawa. You guys are important too.

Leafs fan - Likely Florida in 6

But a couple OT games can swing a series.
Some of the “Leafs have zero chance” posts - is just normal main board jackassery.

Most Leaf fans I know personally say the same. I try to pump them up with talk about how they improved the d, but they aren't biting.

 

[Commander Clueless]

Panthers made it quick last time. They have more mercy than others.

Panthers in 5 is the bar. As much as I want the Leafs to win, I can't see that changing.

 

[jonlin]

It's really only goaltending where there's a noticeably edge.

I say the bottom 6 is where the real difference is. Especially the 3rd line:

Luostarinen - Lundell - Marchand 5gp 3g 11a 14p +14

vs,

McMann - Holmberg - Domi 6gp 1g 3a 4p +/-0

“Matthew sucks” doesn’t have quite the same ring to it as Brady

It’s more about the respect I have for Florida, than thinking the Leafs aren't good.

I would take them over Carolina or Washington.

Florida is a major tough out.

 

[Gjman2019]

Conventional wisdom points to Florida but a healthy Leaf team with goaltending (unlike last year in the playoffs) could be a biting underdog....Just sayin

Anyway gonna be fun......Can't wait.....

 

[jonlin]

I guessing the games will actually be quite close. Assuming atleast 3 OT. If both are healthy, I have Floridas 3rd line beeing the decisive factor. Florida in 6, but wouldnt be too upset if Toronto wins.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Depends how the Leafs handle the forecheck. The Panthers gameplan is to basically grind down your defencemen to dust throughout the series. Toronto’s D is pretty good but it’s relatively old and has some injury prone guys back there. It’s not the most mobile group either.

Still, I think the Leafs can pull this one out.

 

[Just Rude]

Heart says Leafs in 7. Brain says Cats in 6.

 

[TheKrebsCycle]

Think Florida in 7 unfortunately

 

[Stephen]

So you spend time on our boards, nice.

 

[Stephen]

Florida’s the defending champs and natural favorites, will be interesting to see how close this given how they made roadkill of Tampa. But Toronto also beat the crap out of Tampa in the regular season. Hopefully the Leafs are on their best behaviour vs in 2023 when the Rats were in their Cinderella era.

 

[Stephen]

Oh no, Sam Bennett throwing punches at a guy who hasn't even dropped his gloves yet. So tough, so strong.

I’m hoping Knies is on his revenge tour on Bennett, hits him so hard it sends his Mr Potato Head mustache into the stands.

And some of them are Leafs board jackassery.

The fans can still say Brady sucks while he's in the stands

 

[WillTheThrill]

Leafs in 7!!
