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

Something about guys in suits holding hockey sticks. . . just wrong on so many levels. Intermission crew. Nice insights from Henrik though

 

[Strangle]

The expectation of a full 60 is stupid. No team, ever had dominated for 60 minutes. Even in a shutout other teams will own part of the game, that's part of parity.

It’s a good point ….

 

[Morlu]

That is also possible.

I was just commenting on the fact that everyone knew Toronto would come out flying. Teams down 1-0 in a series with Game 2 at home always come out flying.

It is up to the road team to weather the storm, and try to make it through the 1st period still in the game.

Toronto may continue dominating this game. It is certainly more than possible.

But I have also seen road teams in the same situation as Florida manage to weather the storm through 1 period, and then chip away the rest of the game.

Florida could easily be down 3-0 or 4-0 right now.

Agreed. Bob’s been great. There’s 0 chance Florida plays that poorly all game. The fact they are only down by 1 is huge. Tons of hockey left to be played.

you in?

SN just replayed the hit by Tkachuck on Giordano.

That easily could have been another hit to the head penalty.


Florida is very reckless with their hits.

 

[TorMapleJays]

If Toronto plays their B game, (Yesterday was their C game) Florida is going to be in over their head.

TBH Beating Boston was a fluke. Toronto isn’t going to lose this series and the days off.. as much as it is to stop Leaf fans from going to both games, the days off help their team more due to age and style.

Still think Leafs win 4 in a row.

Leafs in 5

 

[Summer Rose]

It’s a good point ….

A sharpened pencil also has a good point.

It happens. Just gotta make sure you got a good lawyer for contractual stuff. I usually just fake old man and lay down a one-armed pullups contest.

 

[TotalHomer]

At what is the proximity warning set with Matthews, Marner, Nylander, Dives? 3ft? The refs get real giddy when anyone touches them. Softest bunch in the league.

 

[Strangle]

Rope-a-dope?

No I think he was trying to say that when he’s losing a fight he feels really tired, but when he’s winning he’s got a huge gas tank

 

[TorMapleJays]

It's 2-1 yet

Yes 2 is on pace for 6. I think they get 7 and chase Bobo

Did they play the Jets yesterday?

 

[Transplanted Caper]

Good first. Now go do it again. The Leafs tendency just to piss away a period here and a period there is annoying and it'll kill them, eventually. Go out in the 2nd, step on their throats. No game until Sunday, the bottom pairing and the 4th line should be used sparingly.

 

[Strangle]

He is, and it's pretty hilarious. He even offered to pay for traveling expenses!

Oh jesus, help us

Rarely called, so why not?

I am sure Bruins fans didn't they would lose either. It's a 1 goal game so far. I wouldn't be too confident if I was cheering for either team.

Ah, makes sense. I think I read it backwards at first.

 

[TorMapleJays]

Yeah but 2-1 with the refs in the pocket though

I needed that laugh, thanks.

 

[Ratsreign]

He elbowed a guy in the head lol

Can’t wait to see Omar post the clip of the heinous elbow

 

[BB88]

Sure they do and they will get some goals but they won’t out score the leafs in a 7 game series

Just outscored Boston

So don’t be overconfident

 

[Pablo El Perro]

No surprise that Biz likes terrible music.

A shortie or two would fix things

Florida is a undisciplined team. Toronto is a disciplined team.

Tampa is a smart disciplined dirty team.
