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

[zeykshade]

My dream broadcast team would be Jack Edwards, Leah Hextall and Mark Messier

With a segment from Paul Steigerwald getting the giggles telling stories of players dying in plane crashes...

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

Looked like Knies hooked Tkachuk. The kid might've got away with one there

 

[Puikiou]

Nylander kinda looks like he mistimed his pregame nap today, and hasn't quite completely woken up from it yet.

Sounds like he's looking like himself then!

 

[HockeyVirus]

I thought he was solid against Tampa.

Not even close to how good of a player he is trust me.

 

[Pablo El Perro]

If they let those go going forward, no problem.

 

[Bruce Granville]

This would be the perfect time for ESPN to cut to Leah Hextall who says: "This game has a real playoff feel about it."

That’s why I’m on a home stream with additional 15 sec delay…

 

[biturbo19]

Lots of body checks being dished out!

There are some hits being doled out, but it feels like they're mostly just a minor inconvenience to the players getting checked.

Maybe that Trouba hit yesterday has just messed up my sense of scale and impact on a hit. But everyone is just popping right back up from the hits in this game like nothing happened at all.

 

[johnnybbadd]

Leafs defence has to be careful about the looking for hits too much. They will be caught on an odd man rush if they aren’t careful.

 

[Pablo El Perro]

Not even close to how good of a player he is trust me.

I.think he's great. Just saying he was solid all of 3 days ago

 

[HockeyVirus]

And I am saying how he was playing is still not his usual self. He skates a lot better usually and gives him a ton of chances and goals

 

[Bounces R Way]

f*** ya Gordon Lightfoot

This game, sure.

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

Oh I'm sure they will.

They're usually very consistent

 

[TheOrganist]

Can someone explain why linesman never pickup broken sticks laying on the ice anymore?

 

[didimentionlarseller]

will Marner at some point do something?

 

[VivaLasVegas]

f*** ya Gordon Lightfoot

You won't have Gordon Lightfoot to kick around anymore.

Can we please get crappy regular season goalie Bob to show up here?

 

[robertocarlos]

OT tonight. Leafs are pretty good.

 

[izzy]

god that staal chance almost went in lol

 

[hockeyisgud]

After Taylor Hall, no NHL player better represents "more dancing than dodgeball" than Nylander.

Hall also has great hockey iq how I would define it

 

[biturbo19]

I bet if big Willie Stylez put his mind to it, he could be better than Mason Raymond at circling the offensive zone repeatedly for no particular reason.

 

[izzy]

tkachuk needs to go back to hitting everything

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

This series is going 6 or 7 games easy. This florida team can keep up with the Leafs.

 

[Alex1234]

Panthers play is scrambly and effective

it's going to come down to whoever capitalizes on their chances.
