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

[Leafsfan74]

Florida too strong along the boards has the Leafs passing too often in the middle in their own end and Florida keeps picking them off.

Florida plays a simple North/South game and Leafs are having trouble.

Some tough puck luck too for the Leafs, this game should be at least tied.

 

[TimeZone]

We really didn’t. If Hedman was anywhere near 100% they wouldn’t have.

We still needed a lot of luck/bounces to get it done.

We've looked far better against little brother Florida, and yet we're about to go down 0-2.

This is a total failure not just on the players but also management. This team was never built to be a SC winning team.

 

[Skullz]

Keep our best player tonight of PP1. Please put Willy back on.

Not good enough.

Gio needs to come out. Maybe Sammy too.

Man, two winnable games and likely two losses...

This really hurts.

91 not good enough

 

[3blizzard4]

2-2 goal was weak AF

 

[saffronleaf]

very ugly goal to let in against barkov

maybe woll

 

[KPower]

Bob's stealing a 2nd game

Hard to win in the playoffs when you have the second best goalie.

 

[57 Years No Cup]

Sure, I'll take that bet. What's the stakes?

If Florida scores we both hafta put "I luv Dubas" under our avatars.

 

[Hoglund4MvP]

As much as we hate Holl, it's time to put him back at no.6

 

[Blanche Blanche]

Wish we had the opposite angle of that takedown Bennett did on Knies. Even without it it’s fairly obvious Bennett slammed Knies’ head into the ice, that should be a suspension but I’m sure Parros will only be too happy to look the other way.

He did. It was a face plant and wash wrestling move.

Someone needs to end bennetts career tonight

 

[Burnie97]

I didn't see that Bennet bullshit.

That's a 1 gamer if you're a leaf.

He'll get a fine.

What a cheapy little bullshit play. f*** Bennet

 

[Scion]

Too bad he is playing the puck over to tavares

Dude can’t finish to save his life

On the contrary, JT is still a lethal finisher in and around the net. It's away from the puck where he struggles, mostly because of his footspeed.

 

[HamiltonNHL]

Tavares needs to be in the third line.

this was known during the regular season.

edit

for a few years.

 

[Mess]

Big 3rd period coming up for the Leafs to avoid going down 2-0.

You have to think we are going to see a real strong 3rd period from the Leafs here leaving it all on the ice.

 

[Byron Bitz]

Why couldn’t they just kill off 2 more seconds without taking a f***ing penalty ?

 

[PromisedLand]

Tavares is gross amounts of shit this game

he was one of the WORST Leafs players 5 on 5 the entire regular season. I have no f***ing clue what the f*** does keefe think tavares is going to f***ing do 5 on 5 in the playoffs when intensity is dialed up all the way to 100

 

[Brown Dog]

This thread is a disgrace. I get that was a frustrating period but we're down 1 with 20 minutes to go. They've shown they can come back. Get your shit together HFLeafs.

Lafferrtt… take out Bennet. Get rid of his head.

 

[stats1]

Tavares needs to be in the third line.

Problem solved. Top lines are too fast for him.

He’s tough but Florida is tough and fast.

Doesn’t help that after that is nj or canes.

I would love just to get to the 3rd round guest before we start shitting ourselves on who we play.

 

[Antropovsky]

........ TNT breaking down the play and calls Marner our for the dumb giveaway causing the 4th goal.

Welcome to Leafs fandom

Mentally fragile. its in their heads they usually give up last min goals.

 

[Dragao6]

To no one's surprise, JT has been very ineffective 5 on 5

I hope so for his sake

I still believe we need a new coach and def trade nylander for a katchuck type

 

[TorMapleJays]

Time for him to step up.

Same damn hat he wore game 1 vs Tampa.

 

[Morgs]

Marner/Matthews were great in the first, easily the best line, but were clearly running out of gas late into the 2nd

Matthews was incredible all period. He easily could have had 3 in that period alone
