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

[Strangle]

Yeah I didn't understand why Nylander didn't just shoot on the net or challenge the goalie, no one was anywhere near him but he just skated the puck away for no reason.

HIs awareness is absolutely terrible way too often

 

[Bruce Granville]

Calling the Panthers blueline average is an insult to actual average bluelines

I think he meant the actual blue line, not their pylons.

 

[Luigi Lemieux]

Good bluelines don't have Marc Staal on your top pair. He wouldn't even crack any other NHL teams top 6.

He's saying they're not even good enough to qualify as average

 

[dhfa]

Has Bob considered staying in the net? Rather than diving out and leaving it wide open?

He does seem to have trouble staying in position. It's weird. Like an invisible force is pulling him out of net.

 

[ijuka]

Probably didn't realize the guy fell...

Also, Nylander is top 5 in cutbacks in the league, it is by far his best skill, somehow he always gains way more speed than the opposition.

Great skater and stickhandler but seems to have some issues with vision and decision making.

I feel like he's one of those players that should be way better than he is.

 

[biturbo19]

lmao. Forsling finally found somebody he can actually physically bully a bit. And it's Mitchell Marner. How embarrassing for everyone involved though.

 

[Pablo El Perro]

He's always been an aggressive goalie. Live or die with it.

 

[CrazyJoeDavola]

I dont think I've seen Marner, Matthews, or any of TO's stars get hit at all this entire playoffs thus far. TB and FLA are not very physical, neither are any of the remaining teams in the East. TO is going to waltz to the cup finals relatively unscathed

 

[TheBeard]

Florida shoulda traded for Weegar at the deadline.

Great vision and decision making, consistency is an issue for sure.

He could be the best winger on the Leafs if he was consistence.

 

[Bruce Granville]

Yeah, you can be aggressive…but not stupid.

 

[Pablo El Perro]

Florida shoulda traded for Weegar at the deadline.

Nah. No cap room.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

All eyes on the Leaf girl

Interested in who this is.


Toronto throwing the hits and Gudas trying to, but f***ing up

I wonder if he needs glasses or something, the amount of times I wonder wtf he’s thinking makes me think maybe he has actual vision problems

 

[ijuka]

Hmm I see. I just don't really see why he couldn't be as effective a player as someone like Jack Hughes.

 

[Pablo El Perro]

Yeah, you can be aggressive…but not stupid.

That last goal was just a horrible line change.

 

[Bruce Granville]

That last goal was just a horrible line change.

On the first goal he wasn’t in the crease…

 

[Woodrow]

This is Panthers hockey. Play well get the lead and then sit back play like shit and give up the lead. Now they just wait for Tkachuk or Bennett to save them.

 

[Daz28]

I don't know what this is supposed to mean

It was a main boards jinx thread

 

[shaner82]

Other than for like 5 minutes, this game feels like it's been all Toronto. The amount of high danger scoring chances they've had is ridiculous

 

[dhfa]

On the first goal he wasn’t in the crease…

that first goal was horrible. Don't even know what he was doing there.

 

[MoeBartoli]

Is Barkov playing?

 

[behemolari]

This is far from over

 

[Frenchy]

3-2 Fla

 

[Pablo El Perro]

On the first goal he wasn’t in the crease…

I get that. As I said, he's an aggressive goalie. It's worked for him here and there
