Florida Panthers beat Toronto Maple leafs 4-1, advance to ECF

[IceManCat]

Barkov total no show in this series, but didn't need him in the end

He was too busy shutting everyone down and taking the puck away from them

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

As the Bruins, Toronto choked the series. This version far more enjoyable than the Bruins'.

 

[AcerComputer]

Is this a real thing?

Ya, Leafs dominated the entire game, including OT if you subtract the FLA powerplay, still don't know how the refs knew how the puck went out.

 

[ReddestRum]

For crying out loud, the amount of people I see saying the referees lost this game. Give your head a shake. Is that the excuse this time around?

I'm trying to find the one clip where the refs caused the Leafs to go down 3-0 in the series.

The NHL can lick the underside of an elementary school desk.

They're probably jumping for joy after doing everything in their power to f*** this team over.

How a linesman can see this clear enough to make a penalty call in overtime:



But not see the goalie come out to play this puck:

 

[KingsHockey24]

Karma for not playing Clifford and Simmonds I say.

ONLY THE REFS made this happen, not being a p***y like matthews, marner, tavares and nylander. REFS DID THIS!

 

[Just Rude]

Leafs most successful PO in decades and they go 5-7. Too funny.

Imagine being a grown man and not being able to add 2+4.

 

[BB79]

Welcome to our golf course, Leafs fans! FORE!

 

[Ace]

imagine what it would have been in Matthews had played

 

[The Winter Soldier]

Barkov total no show in this series, but didn't need him in the end

You must have missed him shutting down Matthews this series. There is no way Florida wins this series without him. He showed up and the results speak for themselves. Florida is moving on.

 

[AcerComputer]

Think I saw him celebrating at the end of the series

Give him a participation ribbon I guess

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

The Leafs made history this year, give this core 4 another year. They just need a bit more time to turn it up.

Kyle Dubas throwing a temper tantrum on the No Goal tells you all you need to know. The dude is not equipped to be the GM of a team that is going to win the Stanley Cup. He folded like a wet napkin to the idea that you "have" to get a player like John Tavares when he comes-a-calling, and then got taken to the cleaners in RFA negotiations with his young forwards. The reason the Leafs keep losing is because of his poor roster construction. The fact that this guy seems to have unlimited chances is honestly crazy to me.

Frail mentally. Celebrated round one like his life depended on it. Cried in round two like a petulant child. He's unstable. Not even competitive, just immature. They showed the Florida group and they were composed as ever through the down times.

Dubas exemplifies the piss poor leadership evidenced by Tavares.

 

[IceManCat]

Did a lot defensively to prevent the Matthews no show

A lot of talk about why the big guys weren't scoring. Almost as if they were playing alone.

I don't think they choked tho, gotta at least show up to choke...

 

[Mark Stones Spleen]

On a scale from 1-10, how much rispek did they get?

 

[T REX]

Ref gate 7.0

 

[TheDeuce]

I don't know why so many people are happy about this result.

Doesn't everybody realize that a Leafs loss isn't just bad for the Leafs and their fans? The Leafs losing in the playoffs is bad for the League. It's bad for the League's TV partners. The Leafs losing is not just bad for the Leafs, their fans, the League, and the League's TV partners. It's bad for the sport of hockey. It's bad for sports. All sports.

Today is not a day any sports fan should be celebrating.

WE WANT FLORIDA!

Think I saw him celebrating at the end of the series

Eh, he definitely needs to elevate his game in the next 1 or 2 rounds.

 

[Laus723]

Woll was solid since coming in, pressure didn’t seem to get to him, think the Leafs have a good one in him.

 

[BB79]

The Leafs made history this year, give this core 4 another year. They just need a bit more time to turn it up.

What was historical? If Vegas or Seattle go to the conference final, they'll have won more playoff rounds this season than Toronto in the last 19. Crazy stat

 

[BerthMania]

Can we stop to celebrate that not only did Toronto lose again, but the Florida draft pick that Habs fans thought would be a lottery pick is now pick #29-32? It's rare that the Habs and Leafs BOTH lose so badly at the same time, but I'm here for it.

Tavares, Matthews, Marner = a shocking waste of $30+ million dollars. They deserve to shoulder this blame from their ghostly performance.

I'm a Habs fan and even I have to admit that the fact that the 2 biggest fanbase in the sport lose at the same time is pretty funny.
