“Canadians everywhere trying to figure out who to root for...”

If the Leafs play like they did in game 5 or blow a 3-1 lead late in the 3rd, it’ll be a choke job. But if they play well, score some goals and lose by 1 or 2, it won’t be a choke. The big question is: will their best players be at their best tonight?

 

[XO101]

Here’s hoping for a soul crushing Leafs loss.

Like we all are outside Toronto and Raleigh.

 

[PistolPete]

Hopefully the Leafs will win, but as a pending UFA, wouldn't you want Marner at a lower contract number?

Would they even want Marner back? He's a poor PO performer

Makes no sense.

Losing by only 1- to quote Lincoln Park- in the end it doesn't even matter.

A loss is a loss....an inability to win....which is aka CHOKING

 

[PistolPete]

Depends on how they play, if they come out flat and get embarrassed 6-0 after being up 2-0 in the series, its a huge choke.

Choking is by definition an inability to win. To quote Metallica: nothing else matters...not by what fashion nor what margin...

HUGE HUGE GAME , ALL EX NHLERS / NHLERS / FANS ETC WATCHING .
HOPEFULLY CHEIF PUTS SOME GUN POWDER IN MATHEWS GATORAIDE

your satire is top notch

 

[PistolPete]

yes, the if the Panthers lose, they will have choked too, but it wouldn't be as egregious as Toronto being up 2-0 and only winning 1 of the next 5

That word does not mean what you think it means

 

[SmoggyTwinkles]

Matthews is gonna score 5 goals tonight. Just absolutely wild stuff, wait and see!

 

[HockeyVirus]

Matthews is gonna score 5 goals tonight. Just absolutely wild stuff, wait and see!

I can't wait to see what he does in the 2nd period!

 

[T REX]

85% of teams have won when up 2-0 at the start of the series

79% of teams win the series when up in the series 3-2

of the 79%, if they lost game 6, only 53% went on to win game 7

^ these are the historicals

What about asteroids?

 

[NorthStar4Canes]

Historically speaking, i wonder if games starting at 1/2 past the hour (rather than on the hour) favor the Home or Visiting team?

 

[The Crypto Guy]

GO LEAFS GO!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[avocadosmoothie]

That word does not mean what you think it means

ditto, apparently

 

[Czechboy]

Florida is amazing and I think they will win.

However.. I want a leafs vs Oilers finals. My dream final. So go leafs go.

I voted asteroid.

Losing is IMO not directly correlated. Champions learn from losing till they win.
From what I read which is different and reflect what I think:

Abstract. In sport, choking under pressure is a negative athletic experience that may have psychologically damaging effects. The media recognizes that choking is a dramatic drop in performance, whereas researchers have labeled choking as any decrease in performance under pressure

Some player can experience chocking under pressure, but their team still won..............not only correlated to losing.

 

[Leafsfan74]

Never mind the score, what are the predictions on PPs per team. I'm predicting 5 PPs for Florida and 2 for the Leafs.

Leaf might get as many as 4 or 5, but only if they are behind 3 goals or so with 10 minutes left and the refs look to make the PPs appear closer.

The over/under on a Florida player laying a headshot on a Leaf is set at 1.5 occurrences tonight.

Agree or disagree?

 

[Ratsreign]

The league just wants a fair and objective game. Honest reffing by the books that denies interference and ensures the protection of players heads. May the best team win!

You have no idea what choking means

It’s about the same as ice surfaces that run East—West versus those that run North-South.
