Having watched all the Oilers, Kings, Vegas games, it's weird to see a team with the lead in the 3rd actually play in the offensive zone and push, but Florida actually tries to win the game instead of just turtling in the d-zone.

I respect that. if it wasn't for wanting their pick I'd be cheering for them solely for that reason.
 
Leafs haven’t went 6-5 all playoffs, but the way they’re playing tonight it’s a guaranteed giveaway and easy empty net
 
Teams play differently in front of different goalies. Players can trust one goalie more than others...you can be more aggressive knowing X is in net. That's just a fact
 
It's something like 85% of teams that go up 2-0 go on to win the series. Give or take a few percentage points in either direction.
It would be a team like the leafs that would be in the 15% lol.

As a leafs hater I was worried for a bit that we were going to see something different from them this year. Glad I was wrong!

Agreed.
But also: like Berube?
Bérubé played a tough style of hockey today’s players would not last three shifts in the old game. The Panthers took out the Leafs starting goaltender, now some can say the shot to the mask was the issue but was it? He stayed in and played o lt after the forearm to the head he had to leave getting sick. Why Bennett is still playing is beyond me. You injured a player you sit as long as he is out.
