You were outplayed for long stretches in the first two games, and only won because Bob stood on his head. I wouldn't be counting all my chickens just yet.
This shit happens all the time in the playoffs. You can easily lose a series if your goalie gets outplayed. It almost happened to the oilers till korpisalos horseshoe fell out.

If leafs and oilers can't get nhl playoff goaltending they're done.
 
Boston never dominated the Panthers like Toronto did tonight in the third period.

This series is not over.
The series is definitely not over. I have seen many teams win a series after losing the first 2 games.

I think a large part of that is because any time the Panthers tried to defend a 3rd period lead against Boston, Boston basically tied it within 5 minutes.

Certainly not over though. Panthers aren’t dominating
 
They literally just won 3 games in a row vs TB, after everyone called the series for losing the first game.
The only problem is Florida in these playoffs are better than Tampa Bay. The leafs have an uphill battle as Florida just needs 2 out of 5 games. With Bob out playing Samsonov I don’t see them advancing.

And if FLA doesn't continue to get horseshoe level goaltending they're done, just like LA.
 
Panthers are all about the counter attack. They let the leafs skate around for hours on end while burying the errors.
That strategy really works when the leafs don't bury like the ten 2 on 1s or numerous open shots and breakaways they get in the meantime.

And don't get me wrong, that's on them, I have no clue how they are not getting the puck in the net. Bobrovsky is great, but no goalie should be doing that well against a team using so much cap space on its 'elite goalscorers'.
