Well that's a relief.

Watching hockey I'm invested in well into May just felt so wrong. My heart couldn't take it.

Back to casual interest. Ahhhhh.
 
Florida's "pylon D" was the top scoring defense in the NHL. It's almost like you looked at the names and didnt watch the game. The Leaf "stars" were kept to the perimeter and forced to take awful shots due to a fantastic Panther forecheck. Maybe if they weren't so soft they would have gone ot the net and maybe scored a goal or two.

Actually, Canes D had the most goals. Cats were 2nd.
 
'Falling with Knies' LOL. The replay clearly shows Bennett forearm punching Knies in the face before throwing him to the ice. And he tried to take a shot a McCabe who was already tied up with another Panthers player and on the ice defenseless. And don't forget the Bunting crosscheck to the neck and then when he was down another crosscheck to the back because why not when he already got a penalty anyways.

Here's the Knies punch:



Pause at 0:17 and see where Bennet's right arm is and then in the next second see how it goes into the face of Knies. I'm going to say that's the main reason he was knocked out of the series more than the follow up throw down to the ice.

Lmao. Holy crap man. Knies Went in for a hit, Bennett pulled up and Knies went past him. He didn’t change direction, this is just reaching cause you want to be mad. They were tangled up, look at their feet, this is just wrong, but at least you’ve stopped saying he was a bust.


Everyone was after Montour, he came in. Again, McCabe was trying to pinch him as well, he barely hit McCabe once and missed on another.

Oh he cross checked Bunting in the head? First player in history??
 
Honestly Florida was just the far superior team
In the series…. Idk if Toronto slept on them
Or we’re on a high after making the 2nd round and forgot they still had to play the 2nd round, but they didn’t really play well at all across the board
I actually think the series was way closer then the results showed. Leafs dominated much of this series actually, despite some no shows from their top guys, and lack of desperation in game 3.
 
Ok then. It’s ok to score less if you have excuses.


Looks like you missed the original exchange, it was about the Florida defense not being competent. The point I made clearly contradicts the original one which was the intention. The point you brought doesnt defeat neither the first one nor my point. It's like pointlessly arguing the shades of a color.
 
There's a video where the ref is saying to him "I don't like it when you sit on players. They aren't chairs, they aren't tables."

Dude is a total meathead.
