another 6-1 florida win just because the melt down all weekend by the fans and then monday on overdrive would be great lol.

First, that was a ref's call. Not Toronto players or fans.

Second, I think just about everyone on this planet agrees that embellishment call against Pretty Boy Evan was

Fans said he was faking

 

[Cool Hand Puke]

I'm pretty sure the hockey world is cheering for Toronto to come out on top, which says a lot about Florida since that is no easy task for non leafs fans.

Just look at reddit.

I wouldn’t go to that cesspool

Yeah, you guys better stock up on Kleenex.

 

[Cool Hand Puke]

Actually, isn't Florida's record at home in elimination games pretty mediocre? I thought it was 6-6.

Didn’t they win their last one? It was also kinda high pressure.

Be thankful Reddit exists, it keeps the horrible people contained in one place

 

[Il Stugotz]

I'm thinking Toronto takes this one. They're good at pushing series to 7 games before breaking their fans' hearts again

This game has the potential for lots of implications

And they lost the one before that, just as they will lose the one tonight.

Like game 7 on Sunday night?

 

[Cats711]

Taking the embellishment way too far

 

[Straight Fire]

And I do like Matthew Tkachuk and Sam Bemnett. Real dandies. Sad still to have lost them in Calgary.

This will become the de facto joke after game 6 as people look for ways to deal with their concern about the Leafs winning game 7. Then, when the Leafs win game 7, the talk will turn to how their stars won't show up against Carolina. Then the same for the Cup final.

Well you were wrong the previous 3 games,
Maybe get a new schtik.

Won't be wrong on this one.

 

[avocadosmoothie]

you know the Panthers will be there. not sure if the Leafs will be.

I wonder how their players are handling everyone thinking this is a layup for them.

they were just in b2b finals, pretty sure outside pressure from r2 g6 is nothing to them

They’re saying the right things....we’ll see if they’re ready at the start

I mean respectfully they don't get much pressure usually. The entire hockey world is watching them right now and expecting them to do the thing. I just wonder how they come out with that on them.

yea can't see it having much of an impact, and your reasoning contributes to that as well

I think the Leafs will score an early one, and Florida won't be as aggressive. Probably also relatively few power plays in this game.

 

[Sasha Orlov]

Big game from Bobrovsky and the Panthers big guns step up

4-1 Panthers, goals from Barkov, Reinhart, Bennett and Marchand with an empty netter

Matthews gets a goal in an attempt to placate the fans but the pitchforks come out nevertheless

I doubt "outside" pressure does anything to any professional athlete. In whatever sport, these athletes have spent their entire lives hearing it from the media, fans, etc. I would be surprised if any of them pay it much mind.
