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

[Nineteen67]

If Marner can figure out what Biz is pointing out here, watch out

It’s been pointed out that Marner isn’t aware of what’s going on around him several times. Do we really want an NHL that’s so soft where that type of player gets rewarded? That’s where Shanahan and Dubas hoped to steer the league and fortunately they were not successful. It’ll get there eventually, but for now, let’s see more plays like Stolarz did in that clip.

 

[Nineteen67]

But Knies doesn't any of the I's: intensity, integrity and intelligence. Benny has all of them.

Yes he does. He’s a fantastic player and will be considered for the Olympic team.

Don’t be ridiculous, Stutzle and Brady were twice the divers Marner was. On Brady’s game 6 goal he dove and popped back up when he saw the sens had possession lol

Do you want a league where Stutzle is rewarded in the playoffs? He doesn’t even dive he just so weak he gets knocked off balance. Either that or he doesn’t sharpen his skates.

 

[sampollock]

Time to pet the kitties.

looks the GM if figland

 

[Boston Bruno]

If we didnt have a first round pick in the balance, I would say Panthers in 6

But we do, so Leafs in 5

Just like the end of the season Oh we cant possibly just dump the extra point for the extra 1 percent chance at draft lottery.

When the flyers pick first and the leafs win the series..


Its called Bruins

 

[Sens9292]

Leafs vs Sens is always a free pass for the Leafs. This one’s going to be tough.

Panthers is 4

 

[NyQuil]

The one where he took the stick to the midsection?

Ok.



McCabe is lucky he didn’t get called for pitchforking him in the groin.

No I don’t I’d prefer early 90’s hockey

The delusion in these threads...mind boggling.

It's the guys that have never trained a day in their life that think Bennett is some tough guy LOL. Guys skinny-fat (literally the worst kind of build you can have) and can't even do a pull up.

He's dirty, he's not tough and he's definitely not strong. He would get absolutely rag dolled.

He couldn’t do a pull up because he had an injured shoulder at the combine and he went toe to toe with Brady Tkachuk at the 4 nations.
Knies is a big kid but we really don’t know how good of a fighter he is. He has 1 career fight where he Whitecloud looked like he had no idea how to handle a southpaw.

It would be an interesting fight and I wouldn’t be surprised if Knies won but I’d give the advantage to Bennett.
Knies also better be ready to fight if he wants it as Bennett like Domi tends to like to jump the fight early if he can.

 

[TorMapleJays]

That’s a bad trade off for the Leafs.

 

[authentic]

When does the first game start?

 

[Nico Cauzuki]

I got Panthers in 6 but if the Leafs can beat Florida watch them win the cup

Book it

 

[Strangle]

Looks like Stolarz and bobrovsky have identical stats after the first round

As far as save percentage and GAA. Spooky

 

[Strangle]

Booked.

 

[thusk]

Voted Cats in 5. If it took 6 games for Toronto to beat Ottawa, it'll be over in 5 against the Cats.


I will say if the Leafs somehow win this series they will win the cup.

The way Ottawa and Tampa played, Ottawa was 100 % the hardest team of both to beat and i'm pretty confident if both would play against each other, Ottawa would be the winner.

Tampa had been extremely soft and not ready at all to pay the price...That tampa team was looking closer of the team who had been swept by columbus in 2019 than the team who had reached 3 years in a row stanley cup final

 

[mix1home]

Panthers in 4 and it's not going to be particularly close.

4+ goal blowouts every game.

Yet Florida-light managed to score 3 goals only once in 6 games in OT.

when it is about the leafs SN leads the way

Bennet is pretty tough but he’s giving away a ton of size in this theoretical scenario . But like you said he’s only had 1 fight and concussion history additionally so I doubt that’s a trade off the Leafs are looking for ; unless it happens organically. When does this series start ?

 

[FinlandPanther]

Why you so worried about a 22 year old kid with no idea what he is doing out there?

Because he deserves to play for a team that can appreciate his talent.

 

[FinlandPanther]

Imagine if they called what they should.

They did. That why they have that many penalties. The league isn’t soft with us.

Last I heard, Sunday or Monday. One thing for sure: they'll be on HNIC next Saturday night. You can almost guarantee it.

Rogers can go to hell, but three straight Saturdays with no Leafs can't be good for ratings.

 

[TheKrebsCycle]

Because he deserves to play for a team that can appreciate his talent.

I probably missed something but why isn’t he being appreciated ? Playing w Matthews and Marner has set him up for quite the tidy pay day . He certainly has talent on his own ( lots of it ) but it’s not like he’s playing down the lineup / being limited etc . Again , haven’t read through this whole mess but curious about the source

The Leafs will beat Florida and will ultimately get to the Cup final (sorry Carolina or Washington), but I think they are going to play Vegas when they get there, and I'm not sure that's a great match-up for Toronto.
