ECSF - Game 1 - Toronto Maple Leafs vs Florida Panthers - 7pm EST, ESPN

[K Fleur]

Dominic Moore needs to come on home, let that hair go yeesh.

 

[5 14 6 1]

Now that Tkachuk is no longer a Flame, I love him

Funny enough I find myself cheering for him too

 

[Mez]

I'm glad Tkachuk is no longer a Flame...I can appreciate him for what he is now.

 

[Coffey]

Leafs were 3-0-1 in the regular season though

 

[Megustaelhockey]

Dominic Moore needs to come on home, let that hair go yeesh.

I said the same thing right now. Shave it off. Bald is so much better than the combover.

 

[5 14 6 1]

Reilly FLATTENED ... by the linesman

 

[izzy]

Tkachuk creates another turnover. He's dialed up the physicality bigtime since the playoffs started.

he is as impactful as a player could be so far

creating chances, hitting nonstop, getting under peoples skin (the tying goal in game 7 was entirely on swayman trying to push tkachuk)

just a beast

 

[Divine]

The ref throwing hits now too

 

[Alex1234]

Bob’s been the best goalie of the playoffs so far…

Akira

 

[bossram]

TO just has that puck possession style that generates so many opps. Bob will need to stand on his head and FLA cash in on their fewer chances. Very interesting series to watch here

The Leafs need to focus more on the rush/transition vs. possession. They have the advantage on the rush.

If they try to play in the corners, the Cats will be all over them.

 

[Despote]

I'm glad Tkachuk is no longer a Flame...I can appreciate him for what he is now.

Best winger in the game right now for sure.

 

[Ragamuffin Gunner]

Bob is playing so much better than Vasi. FLA might be the tougher of the Florida teams.

 

[Pablo El Perro]

I'm glad Tkachuk is no longer a Flame...I can appreciate him for what he is now.

He's a better player now, which should be expected when he's the driver on his line.

 

[JackTColton]

Save percentage says otherwise, but I'm hoping he just turns it on and forgets where the switch is.

Remember who he was playing….

 

[Bruce Granville]

Reilly FLATTENED ... by the linesman

And he embellished…

 

[Mav3rick07]

McDavid will win the Hart but I feel like Tkachuk should get lots of second place votes.

 

[goldnblack]

Best winger in the game right now for sure.

No question in my books

 

[TheBeard]

Let’s be honest, this series doesn’t officially start until Ekblad gets hit and is questionable for a game.

Reilly FLATTENED ... by the linesman

2 min for interference?

 

[Vinh]

he is as impactful as a player could be so far

creating chances, hitting nonstop, getting under peoples skin (the tying goal in game 7 was entirely on swayman trying to push tkachuk)

just a beast

Won the puck and set the screen on the OT winner too. He's involved in everything.

 

[Pablo El Perro]

Remember who he was playing….

And that sub 60 percent pk didn't help.

 

[VaporTrail]

ESPN broadcast of this game sucks..that chick needs to shut up during the play

 

[Martin Skoula]

At least someone in the Panthers D zone can play defense.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Leafs are overwhelmed by Floridas forecheck.

 

[Daz28]

Cats are shutting down the transition too
