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

[fahad203]

Florida is looking like the L.A. Kings of 2012.

Very similar in terms of their make up
Good goaltending, although Quick was out of his mind
Barkov and Kopitar are very similar
Bennett and Brown
Montour and Doughty

 

[Cynical]

The Panthers know the Leafs typically hold the puck in their own zone and they're absolutely destroying them on the forecheck.

 

[Stephen]

I mean he had a stick between his legs like a bicycle spoke

If you're going to take an infraction on Tkachuk at least make it look like Bennett trying to commit murder on whatever Leaf is beside him.

 

[The Best Leafs Everr]

Florida is looking like the L.A. Kings of 2012.

And we look like the Leafs of 2012.

 

[Mess]

Leafs had a few close calls to score but Florida put on a forechecking clinic this period.

 

[1specter]

Well, looks like the first round was our Cup lol. Went all in just to win one round

 

[stats1]

Tavares looks like he wants to be at home

 

[3blizzard4]

I like the TB series win but let's not kid ourselves we got badly outplayed most of the series. TB was scary AF.

Florida is playing well. Capitalizating on their chances and Bobo has decided he will earn his $10 million salary against us.

 

[sxvnert]

Carbon copy of game #1.

At least its not 4-2.

 

[TimeZone]

But people blame the goaltending all the time.

We are to sloppy and lazy to win the cup.

I mean that second goal was beyond atrocious to let in to be fair.

It was dreadful

 

[robertmac43]

The turnovers from Willie and AM34 were brutal.

 

[GoonieFace]

I’d love some Bennett and Tkachuk on the Leafs, just saying

 

[Larcos_Unal]

I see now that nylander is generating no one says shit

Matthews is choking hard

100% facts

 

[TheShape]

This team needs to get on the road ASAP.

This doesn't even feel like a playoff series.

 

[MarnerElite]

What’s new lol

He makes an elite play every 3-4 games

Yeah and that'd be fine by me if it was for many millions less...But to give this guy 11 for just having great hands around the net(that's literally the only thing he's good at)...Unreal...If Dubas does stay after this, hopefully he'll see that this was a huge mistake and move on from JT. I like him as a guy but would never pay that money for what he brings.

 

[HamiltonNHL]

The Panthers know the Leafs typically hold the puck in their own zone and they're absolutely destroying them on the forecheck.

they destroyed the bruins as well

 

[MSZ]

Shades of Rick Nash
Can he score yes
Can he be a beast, sure

Will he score, probably
Will be a beast in playoffs? No

At least Rick had a trip to the final.

We will never ever see that with this team.

 

[Antropovsky]

Marner, Matthews, Tavares, Nylander all dogshit.

Also Gio is done

Nylander is the most dangerous offensive player on the ice. He's what you expect 11 million dollar players to look like on offense.our 11 million guys can't even get into the offensive zone

 

[ThrowDemTongs]

Maple Leafs GM Brian Burke: It was like an 18-wheeler going right off a cliff

Fans chant of ‘Fire Wilson’ at Air Canada Centre was the clincher in his decision to fire coach Ron Wilson and replace him with Randy Carlyle

[Legendary]

One positive is that there's 20 minutes left for them to salvage this game.

20 min left for a few more soft goals and bad give aways

 

[TimeZone]

We really had no business beating Tampa.

 

[Cynical]

The Leafs seem to have used up all their energy in the first 10 minutes of the game.

 

[thewave]

Time to put Nylander back with Matthews. I don't know what you can do with Marner to make him effective. He's too slow, too slow of a release, too afraid of dirty areas. This playoffs is like everyone of the playoffs before.

Seems to be a regular season player. Low stakes game type guy. When its on, he cant deal

 

[Mitch nylander]

I think we've been the better team. Just need more shots on target. We're gonna get one.

We gotta calm down in the defensive zone.

 

[Steven1562]

Looks like we prepared to take down the Lightning all season and this Panthers team we "looked" like the easy opponent in the next round and we completely shit the bed.
