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

[Roric]

Bobrovsky has been lights out! The leafs are going to get goalied in this series.

Good win Florida. I predict the Panthers to the Cup Finals.

Still 37 seconds left, too much time for TOR. Bobrovsky will definitely regress probably lets in 5 next game

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

how the hell can they do that?

yeah it's ultimately the right call, but I didn't know they could backtrack like that and call a double minor.

 

[Mr Positive]

Fair call. Could have been a major but wouldn’t make a diff.

Major for an errant stick that scratched him?

 

[Pablo El Perro]

Whats the meaning of Maurice six fingers?

He's a train of thought guy, so who knows

 

[Joeffice]

Interesting.
What were they reviewing exactly?

 

[WarriorofTime]

Longest last two minutes ever. Jesus.

 

[JackTColton]

Refs will review this and give Leafs 2 goals

 

[Fledgemyhedge]

does anyone really think they review the call of it was the other way around? This league is f***ing bullshit

 

[izzy]

i have NEVER seen them do that

they better start doing it for every potential call going forward

 

[EdJovanovski]

Shouldn’t be the double minor when it’s one that the player could prevent himself, ROR should get a penalty for delay of game. Offsetting minors, 4v4

I’ve never seen a review of a call that wasn’t made. What the f*** is that?

no way. 3 straight.

 

[93gilmour93]

Bob was great and won Florida the first game.

 

[MikeyMike01]

Celebrating when there’s no goal lol

 

[Leaf Fans]

Good game Florida. Well deserved win. Game 2 on Thursday!

 

[jackjohnson]

Has this ever happened before? They make a call they missed in hindsight?

It's NHL, they make call as they go along. Makes WWE reffing legit

 

[Apotheosis]

of course they're going to review when there's blood lmfao come on guys

Bob was the difference maker. On to game two.

 

[Mr Positive]

I’ve never seen a review of a call that wasn’t made. What the f*** is that?

Isn't there a new rule about reviewing non calls in the final minute or so?

 

[KCC]

leafs getting swept. Fla arent going to let up like tampa did Which cost them the series.

 

[Gnova]

Leafs are in trouble.

 

[dhfa]

Good for him . What’s bad for him that the game isn’t decided by who made the harder saves .

I agree. Just an observation that I think the Panthers could have won by more if not for samsonov making some great saves.

Montour and ekblad are both great D

Montour is an offensive second pairing D having a completely unreasonable season out of nowhere. Ekblad is a high name recognition value player who quite frankly, can barely skate these days.


Their defence is a pile of crap. Forsling is a decent defenceman, but he's tiny, soft, and not really an amazingly mobile guy either. They're playing Marc f***ing Staal in their Top-4D in the year 2023.

They simply are not a complete team. They've got waves of forwards who can contribute and that's carrying them. But they're so entirely beatable. Teams just aren't making it hard on them. If you run a fast, heavy forecheck at that defence, they will absolutely crumple and collapse. Neither team has managed to do that with any sustained pressure yet.

I think calling them a great team, built for the playoffs is giving them way too much credit.

 

[Mathews28]

10 seconds left and Tavares is passing up shots.

 

[RedRocking]

That’s a nice win by FL to get one on the road.

But I’d still feel pretty good if I’m the Leafs - FL is going to give their skilled fwds lots of chances.

 

[Despote]

This'll be a heck of a series, two electric teams that can't defend.
