Panthers scored on a delayed call.
Does the 4 with 30 seconds left count here? I mean I guess so but they almost missed it and had to review.
The one against Forsling was a little soft I’ll give you that.
What wasn’t a penalty between the Bennett obvious charge and the HS on Bunting?
Heavy team will take more penalties.

Or maybe it would be because the Panthers are actually very good?
I wouldn’t call it a choke if they lose in 7.
Only one team is going to win the cup. You can be a very good team and playing good and not winning it. It doesn’t have to a « choke » every time a team loses a series.
Let’s just forget the season. Panthers won against a very good Boston team and they looked very solid tonight. They are for real and losing to them wouldn’t be something to be ashamed of.
It’s far from over anyways. Toronto would bounce back and I would be shocked if the Panthers go back to Florida with a 2-0 lead.
Leafs losing any series is a massive choke..Am I doing this right?

GG Florida. Panthers controlled 5 on 5 hockey a lot better. Given the context that panthers were leading by a goal and then by 2 goals and still outshot and outchanced the Leafs means florida played quite well.
leafs are gonna have to adjust. Leafs lucked out on a few bounces against bolts while getting outplayed thoroughly in at least 3 out of the 6 games IMO
Leafs better wake up and show up. Panthers seem to be in the zone right now. Leafs gotta match the speed and intensity and play better defensively while avoiding brain farts altogeher.
P.S. hate tkachuck but mad respect for him tonight. dude took some big hits to make plays. a hockey fan like me can appreciate that

What game did you watch?
Things cooled off a little bit after the 1st period. But overall it was still a very exciting game.

Has anyone still seen Barkov? He got two assist but of course it cannot be true he was not playing
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.
They were technically 5-1. But a double minor with 40 seconds left. Panthers scored on the delayed powerplay, so it was 4-2.

Absolutely agree....Florida is a buzz saw....a very dangerous team to play...their regular season results should be taken lightly....they had started playing better towards the end of the season and have not looked back......they also are obviously full of confidence.....I am sure they believe they can take on anyone.....and of course you have Matthew.....who has shown us all that he is one of the best players in the NHL.....

It will sound weird to non Panthers’ fans, but Barkov is our hidden card in this series. He’s been complete non factor during the playoffs race and also against the Bruins.
If Barkov wakes up and start to play like a legit first center, I don’t think Toronto will be able to stop them. But I doubt it happens. At least he showed some flashes here and there tonight. He hasn’t done much but it was probably his best playoffs game so far lol

yeah wasnt long ago habs fans were hoping Florida would give them a chance at Bedard. they were lights out near the end. honestly I think they were always this good just has some chemistry to work out.
I did like the way the Leafs played against them and I feel they had their chances. Im not worried but if they lose Game 2 I will be. still anyones game but Florida is a scary team

Florida is a damn good team. They finished just six points back of Tampa. It was never going to be easy.
The Leafs will get to Bob. We just need Sammy to hold down the fort until it happens.
Good game Cats. Well deserved.

A goal on a delayed call does not count as a PP goal. For whatever reason, if you get a 4 minute PP and don't score on it, it only counts as 1 PP. Final PPs were 4-1 (if the Leafs scored in the last minute it would have been 5-1)

You had quite a few Leaf fans suggesting this would be a breeze......Dumb take indeed.
Good point, the Leafs have been screwed big time... The penalties were only 4-1 in their favourThe Penalties were 4-1 in favor of the Leafs.

I thought our forecheck was a lot to handle, forced a lot of turnovers. If Bob plays well I dont see why this cant be a long series.

I know Boston was tough (but not really) but I was told the Panthers were about to face 19 Gods on skates? I thought it was laughable to think any player on the planet was 2% as good as Matthews and Marner, who score on every shift if not for the dastardly refs getting in their way.
Joking aside, these two teams have been playing absolute bangers of games 4-5x a year for the last few years. Two of the most entertaining, skilled, most physical teams in the league in the same division.
