ECSF: Toronto Maple Leafs (A2) vs. Florida Panthers (WC2) ( Florida Leads 3-1 )

[WetcoastOrca]

Power plays were pretty one sided in favour of Toronto but they failed to take advantage of it. Have to think the penalties are more even going forward.

Florida be like...

Unless Huberdeaus finds his form again in Calgary, the Flames got fleeced. Especially if Tkachuk puts up 100pts every year from here on in.

As a Hubey fan, I hope he does better without Suter. Maybe the Flames hire Bruno or Gallant if the Rags part ways.

Yeahhh, Huberdeau and Gallant would be such a great fit...

 

[General Disarray]

Meh not worried at all. Congratulations to Florida for not getting swept.

 

[Leaf Fans]

Yeah all the Leaf fans who predicted Toronto in 5, didn't know what the hell they were up against! Lol

Just the Leaf fans who predicted that or all of the other fans as well. Besides, it is still possible for those who predicted that.

With Florida, probably not. We get some bad calls, but as physical as this team plays, they take a few obvious ones every game. Playing two slow d makes it even worse.

Meh not worried at all. Congratulations to Florida for not getting swept.

Thanks for the backhanded whatever.

I’m a Leaf’s fan and if we lose I’m hoping in the Cats bandwagon. If that ok. Lol.

 

[Ragamuffin Gunner]

Leafs lost 7-3 in game one vs Tampa

It is just one game

Not saying Florida can’t sweep. But let’s see what next game brings

FLA was better than TB in the 1st round as well. They also have a much better goalie.

I'm under no time restrictions for opinion and thought. Still an odd name for a Florida based team. And it's been 30 years, so how endangered is it at this point?
Go with piranhas maybe?

True. Could say the same thing about a lot of things though. What does a red wing have to do with detroit, or a penguin have to do with Pittsburgh??

it’s best not to think too hard about it sometimes

 

[Pablo El Perro]

He played for him with the Cats and I think in Jrs.

 

[TheGoldenJet]

What were the penalties, Paul?

Oh now I get it, lol.

Maybe it’s just the glass, but that dude behind PoMo has a huge head.

 

[AhosDatsyukian]

I think this one goes 7, fun first game

I'm a Bruins fan and I'm on it. They're a hell of a team, much better than their regular season record. Would be a great story to see them get their first cup

Does somebody think Florida is in South America? And regarding Florida Panthers, they're more endangered than ever.

For sure. They are a well built playoffs team. If they can take out the Bruins they can take out anyone. IMO.

Leafs in 5 easily

Leafs better get on it

Thank you Bruins for choking and gifting us the Panthers

This aged well

 

[I am not exposed]

Leafs look very dangerous. Bob had to be on his game. This could still be Leafs in 5. Happy we got the win.

No doubt - Panthers play a heavy game and have a lot of skill, but also give up a lot the other way.

Great game to watch despite the loss even the officiating was sound.

It's Hockey Virus, so take it for what it's worth.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

I guess Florida could pull it off if they stay out of the box. They’re great 5-on-5. Despite not allowing any foals, that PK looked just as bad as the 59% rate indicated though.

Duke was probably interfered with, but I don't worry.
