Series Talk: ECSF: (A1) Toronto Maple Leafs vs (A3) Florida Panthers (TOR Leads 1-0)

[CantHaveTkachev]

The Sens finished 1 point behind the Cats

because of injuries to Panther players

 

[winnipegger]

This will be like passing "Go" in Monopoly for us.

Florida in 3.

About to stuff these primadonnas into a locker.

They aren't primadonnas anymore you're stuck in the past Toronto is going to grind.

because of injuries to Panther players

everyone had to deal with some injuries

 

[soothsayer]

This is going to be a great series. Either Toronto is going to win, or Florida is going to win.

 

[Mez]

Leafs in 7 they almost chocked last series but overcame. The demon may be exorcised.

 

[Dirty Mind]

I only mildly dislike the Leafs because of how y’all reacted after the 2015 draft lottery. Never had a problem with TOR before that.

HAVING SAID THAT
I said before the playoffs started (you can check my post history for proof) that the Leafs have an “aura” this year that they are seasoned enough to do some real damage.

Yes the Panthers are more “for real” than the Sens. Yes they just won a Cup and have tons of experience over the last three seasons. It’s also true that anyone expecting the same Leafs team as past years is in for a surprise.

This one’s going 7. Won’t predict a winner.

 

[Sheppy]

A team with Marchand vs The Leafs.

Big if true.

Panthers were missing Tkachuk Ekblad down the stretch...Barkov missed significant time...those are huge pieces

true but over the season they were not affected as bad as others

Notes Cap Hit of Injured Players (CHIP) represents the per-game cap charge of a player missing a game through injury/...

Leafs in 5, the big 4 is gonna dab on marchand and his crooked buddies

 

[HarrisonFord]

To my fellow leaf fans. Defence and goaltending is going to have to be phenomenal to offset the lack of depth scoring. Won’t have much success if they get the same level of bottom 6 scoring as vs Ottawa

I'm sorry but losing arguably your best forward for 30 games and a Selke winner for a quarter of the season is gonna affect your position in the standings
look what happened when they all came back...rolled over a great TB team

Now we're getting into specifics. Good stuff.

IMO Tampa wasn't as good as their standing suggested.
This Tampa has clear gaps to exploit and I do see that a full Panther roster is a different beast but this is the 1st time we could ice everyone as well due to cap issues.

I don’t have time to take that many screenshots.

 

[TotalHomer]

You're just mad he's the better Homer variant

You guys give him shit all the time for being delusional lol.

Wishing injury on another player, on any team, in any sport, doesn't make you tough. It makes you a douche.

It's not about injuring players, I don't know what the hell you're talking about. You guys will whine just because we play hard, 100% guaranteed.

 

[Just Rude]

Who’s wishing for injuries lmao. Your team is going to get hurt from every puck battle.

Oh, I misunderstood. "Every puck battle." I thought you meant something else. Silly me:

Your team might not even make it out alive of this series

My personal favorite!

Your team might not even make it out alive of this series

Lmao. Lmao. Lmao. I’ll be surprised if all of the core 4 finish the series. They are going to be injured.

We are going to hurt you so bad. Your team is going to be in physical pain

 

[RuudeDog]

7. I’m just acting like Toronto fans! Big headed gloating arrogant individuals.

Wonder who the Leafs will play in round 3?

He may be a homer, but he's our homer

 

[Gizmoskevich]

Leafs in 5.

Leafs in 5. Easy

They 'a rollin' now.

Toronto in 4.

Leafs in 4

Leafs in 4.

Florida will sell their smelly, fly ridden arena shortly after.

Oh wait, that’s just people from Florida, not the arena.

Leafs are gonna run over the Panthers.

Toronto in 5

Matthew Tkachuk, Brady Tkachuk, Canucks

Doesn't matter. Leafs in 5.

Leafs in 5... we are talking about the longest suspension, right? Florida isn't allowed beyond 2, as Gregory's Daddy will not allow that.

Leafs in 5, the big 4 is gonna dab on marchand and his crooked buddies

HockeyVirus doesn't represent us all buddy. Most of us are pretty measured with our expectations of this series, any Leaf fan thinking this is anywhere close to a guaranteed win is a dumbass or a troll. Don't make sweeping statements

That is them being conservative, normally its Leafs in 3

 

[Mugzy97]
