Series Talk: ECSFs Discussion - All The Smoke Edition - Panthers Tied 3-3

This Series will be Tied after Sunday.
I believe this to be the case.

Like I said in the GDT, last night was the first time I saw the Panthers look like the Panthers. Good flow in the offensive zone, sustained pressure and everyone moving as a unit.

Coaching adjustments are good and Bob made saved when needed. It'll be interesting to see how the Leafs counter but I fully expect this team to come out strong on Sunday.
 
The hate Erod gets around here....

He is what he is. For $3M you got a guy that can play any forward position well enough without giving up much on defense. He'll plug any hole in the line up and often is used as a spark to shake things up like today. He's not a big scorer and he's not fancy but he knows his job and he does it well. Well worth the $3M AAV.

Plus we wouldn't have a Cup without him.

Yeah, you would think Erod was getting paid $7m per season the way some people talk about him around here.

It's about using the cap to pay some bills and we have a glut of forwards.
I prefer Samoskevich in the top 6/9 over Erod. Simple as that.

To me it’s not about Erod, even if I find him less effective this year…

It’s more about, maybe dumping his salary gives us a chance to keep Marchand, Ekblad AND Bennett… And that I wouldn’t rule out, even if Stonehandes is a great piece too.

Just think that Marchand at 3 years and 5M could be a better investment than Rodrigues at 2 years and 3M that’s all.
 
He got a full year. Always respect him for that finals performance but he can suck my ass this year.
Maybe I'm not as "big of a fan" as others, but everyone gets a pass this year from me. It sucks Bob is laying an egg, ERod is playing Ringette half the time, 23 can't hit the net, Tkachuk has no legs, Kulikov is a disaster, etc. But I just can't be mad. We won last year, I never thought we'd win.

I agree.

My only concern is Bob. He will be 37 next season, are we witnessing the beginning of his decline?

Wrong. Leafs fans said they dominated and we got the bounces.
