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

[VivaLasVegas]

The most overrated stat in hfboard history

The Deserve To Win O'Meter is truly the last refuge of the defeated.

 

[Ezekial]

Leafs hit at least three posts and were better all game...again.
Leafs in 6.

I'd react with a laughing emoji at this but it would give you a like and you don't deserve one for this post.

 

[PunchImlach is Alive]

This series is over

We've never seen a team lose 2 games at home and win the series. Never, let alone last round.

I agree

 

[MrvJets]

AHL level goalie, lets be real. It’s statistically impossible for him to keep this up. Also not sure what you mean by “carry this Florida team to the finals” when we all know they won’t even make it out of this round

Lol that’s what Boston fans were saying, you know how that ended. Boston is better than Toronto. This series is over in my mind.

 

[CupsOverCash]

Lightning fans pissed watching Panthers close out that 3-2 lead..should be fl series 3.0

 

[BusQuets]

These mean dick all at the end of the day.

Panthers better hope this was their worst game of the series. That wasn't clinical defensive effort on the 3rd period. Leafs got great scoring chances left and right. Bob stole them one so they better make sure to play better next time.

 

[robertocarlos]

Why didn't the Leafs wave good-bye to the crowd?

 

[34]

Nah, if you have Toronto in 6 they still have to lose twice.
Good to have that out of your system.

No chance. It is going to be a sweep. Bobrovsky is going to shut the leads out in game three. They won’t score a goal. It’s over.

“ITS NOT FAIR!!!”

What a baby, he needs to learn to control his emotions better. I expect more out of 9 year olds.

 

[Pablo El Perro]

I watched this year vs Florida though, guy has been the best player in the series. Got some luck with 3 off the post but made some massive saves.

No, I'm not talking about Bob, but how a team can lose games they dominate against an opportunistic team.

 

[Ole Gil]

Be interesting if they tried to get Bob moving side to side with an extra pass, or with deflections instead of just challenging him with wristers over and over.

 

[SatanicToedrag]

He has a LOT more to give. He can literally take over games if he gets it in gear.

I mean you are not wrong in the sense that when he's actually playing at PEAK BARKOV, he dominates the entire game, plain and simple.

 

[Joeffice]

Unfortunatelly for the Leafs the game is played on ice, not on paper....

No. Simulations or bust.

 

[AcerComputer]

yet they have a 2-0 lead and going home. panthers played better for most of the second but the first and third was all toronto

Year of the road team. Leafs have yet to lose on the road in playoffs. Home ice doesn't mean much.

 

[CaptainScrewy]

Who else never had any doubt that Bob contract would be one of the best in the NHL???

 

[DANTHEMAN1967]

Can't see Bennett being in the lineup in game three.

 

[JimmyApples]

What a baby, he needs to learn to control his emotions better. I expect more out of 9 year olds.

What was he even mad about?

 

[Leaf Fans]

Who lost though?

Tonight? Florida won 3-2.

How anyone thought the Leafs would win this series after the Panthers downed the Bruins is beyond me.

Huh? the fans of every team think their team have a chance regardless of opponent or previous opponent.

 

[TF1970]

This series is far from over. Toronto has had a lot of quality stretches in both games, but haven’t found a way to come out on top. Florida is doing everything out there, each guy giving absolutely everything. Textbook example of earning the bounces. Bobrovsky was a savage tonight and they are getting dangerous looks of their own in the midst of also allowing their share of them.

 

[BlueSeal]

This one was easy to call, Panthers play playoff hockey, Leafs do not. Leafs will win one game just because of their skill, but that's it.

*laughs in Bob*

 

[Dread Clawz]

Boston fans... win a round

Panthers fan...with a good chance to win another in one week.

 

[BMOK33]

Wouldn’t be too down on the chances just yet if I was a Leafs fan. This could be 2-2 by next week. Both these games were so close. If they can get even a slight drop in level from Bob they’re back in it

Leafs after the first 5 minutes

Underrated post.

 

[Laus723]

Tkachuk is a bitch so is Bennett. Florida fans are actually really cool though. The random anti-leafs dudes in this thread are just different.

You’d love to have both tho

 

[34]

Absolutely not over, Bobrovsky will have to play like that for the entire series. That was utter domination for 58 minutes. Obviously going down 0-2 into Florida is f***ing horrendous, but the 5 on 5 play has not even been close. The difference so far has been Bobrovsky playing like a vezina goalie. If he can maintain that over the course of the series, they'll take it easily but I don't know if he can.

It is over and bobrovsky is going to play even better in game three and four to finish out the series. There is no chance for Toronto. It is done. 100%.
