GDT: ECSF Game 2: Redemption Time | Toronto Maple Leafs vs Florida Panthers | 7pm EST | CBC, SN, TNT & TVAS

[Leafidelity]

Leafs are still playing deadhead while they're getting murdered out there. Spent a full 30 seconds trying to traverse the neutral zone on the PP.

No doubt. The Leafs are playing like they expect a free pass to the next round

 

[saffronleaf]

Why the f*** is Nylander not starting on the first unit? It's clearly better with him on it

who knows he was key to the pp's success all year and just at the very end he gets taken off

 

[sxvnert]

Can Nylander play the full 2 minutes next time?

Bench him until the PP1 comes out.

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

No one else on the defence can run a PP I suppose.

At this point, I think five forwards would be better than Gio on the PP

 

[Jojalu]

Nylander snakebit.

So much so that anyone he passes to can't score either.

C'mon for crying out loud

 

[Gallagbi]

guess it's just bad luck like 2020, 2021, and 2022

Nobody said anything about luck.

 

[fahad203]

And when you need some momentum, the leafs give you 40 seconds on the PP only

You know Florida is getting the next PP

 

[shaner8989]

f***ing disgraceful. This team has zero drive to win. Zero urgency.

 

[Wendelstache]

Good PP shift by Will.

Too bad it was 10 seconds

he should've started, matthews should have put away the rebound.

 

[Floidicus79]

This team is SO SLOW on everything. No urgency, just coasting. Florida has a chance to get set on every possession. They look like a team of Jason Allisons out there.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

he has about 3 good shifts
that's not the game

He has been our best player.

 

[Burnie97]

seriously we need to get gio out and put in Gustafsson man is handling the puck like a grenade.

Love gio but he needs a rest.

Worth a go.

 

[Nineteen67]

Bennett will score before end of this period. .

 

[ThrowDemTongs]

Well everyone wanted Florida!!!

Let’s go
This ain’t happening boys

You read some of the posts on here and everyone was expecting us to steamroll them. Like... we're cheering for the same time, right?

 

[egd27]

Nobody said anything about luck.

Well not tonight

 

[DarkKnight]

he has about 3 good shifts
that's not the game

Offence is never the problem too. It’s like we can’t walk and chew gum here.

 

[keonsbitterness]

Boo em off the ice imo

At 3-2?

 

[thewave]

Can Nylander play the full 2 minutes next time?

He is more effective. Second shot threat sitting on the bench wasting

 

[Morlu]

Tale of 5 periods is better goaltending. That second goal was a back breaker.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Florida are giving me a new respect for Tampa's players

 

[Leaffan1991]

The Panthers are playing the classic strategy of commit so many infractions knowing that the refs will only call a fraction of them. Also Nylander has easily been our best player tonight. f*** the noise.

Yeah especially that nice turnover against him lol

 

[Leaf Rocket]

brodie has become kaberle-esque...pass or hold for too long.

 

[All Mod Cons]

Tavares get out of the f***ing way.

Get off the ice preferably

 

[Gallagbi]

Well not tonight

Good night pal

 

[The Management]

Bring Holl back for one last mission.

"Holl, you want to be a hero and redeem yourself in the eyes of Leafs nation? I want you to study this clip of Wrestlemania. Watch it a dozen times, Justin. Two dozen. And the next time you see Bennett on the ice, give him a tombstone piledriver straight to hell."
