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

[WaitingForThatCab]

The "goal" that wasn't is a gift to the Leafs fans. It gives them yet another excuse to believe that the world is against them and that it isn't their team's managerial ineptitude and their players' inability to play playoff hockey that keeps them in the category of pretenders.

I think this is probably the insightful post on the matter that I've seen yet.

Hey Folks,

Can we please try and refrain from the personal attacks, I understand emotions are high but debate the post not the poster or fans.

Thanks!

 

[BruinLVGA]

holy smokes those memes look like they came from 2004

I looked for some from 1967, but there weren‘t any?

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Then call it goalie interference and allow us to challenge it. Garbage call. You'd be pissed if it was your team too. But carry on like you wouldn't. Please.

Seemed like right call to me.... either way leafs tied it up and had a chance to win and didnt.

Should be more mad about the 40 million 4some that doesnt do much of anyting.

Does anyone have a video of the Maple Leaf Square fans when the OT goal is scored?

 

[Race Dawg]

The Leafs should fire the GM and coach. When the Leafs scored in the third to keep their razor thin hopes alive (down 3 - 1 in the series), the camera pans to those two douchebags, and the douche chills are on full display. They're hanging on to the series by a thread, and the stylish glasses GM is so excited with his rich friends he practically creams his shorts, and the steakhead coach with the creepy block head wants to jump on the ice so bad and lift weights. They jump around like giddy schoolgirls and hug and get all juiced and scream and shit. But the game is tied the game at 2 - 2, and they're down 3 - 1. They didn't win anything yet. Just one series. One series.

Of course they go on to lose in OT because they're getting outplayed in the game, outplayed in the entire series by a team that doesn't have super talented guys with silky hands and inflated egos. They have a legitimate coach, Barkov, Ekblad, Varhege, Gudas. Guys with genuine testicles.

Toronto players, fans and management all act like they deserve to win the Cup (because they're douchebags), and when they fail over and over again, it brings us all such joy.

It's pathetic the Laffs didn't win TBH and I hate that whole, entire organization. It's like the curse of Ballard is lodged upon them. One playoff series victory in almost 30 years is laughable. Blow it up and rebuild as those assclowns have no heart when it counts.

 

[Obviously]

Always a controversial moment to point to for Leaf fans. Enforces the narrative that their roster is just not capable of stepping on a series. Glad the boys got their extra bud light cases for the first round parade though

Try 1990 or 1993. I'm not a leafs fan. Not even close.

 

[Canadienna]

Its clear as day.

Where BTP lives.

Leafs should be going for their 6th straight cup right now... if it wasnt for the dang refs and league conspiring against them the last 5+ years.

unfortunate.

You mean allow the people in Toronto to give the Leafs another favorable call.....I see. Justice was served. No goal.

 

[Razamanaz]

The four Florida musketeers were way ahead o' their Toronto ditto.

Top line vs top line.

The fourth line. To win a game.

I have used up all the care I have, you‘ll have to wait till the next refill, I am afraid.

I'm sure it will be as clever as the last time. Cant wait.

 

[Necrobutcher]

Amazing take on the Panthers by Biz just a couple of months ago.

 

[Kranix]

Did Keefe blame everybody else including the goalie coaches and trainers in his press conference?

 

[Bartleby]

Amazing take on the Panthers by Biz just a couple of months ago.

I am no fan of Biz at all but, to be fair, he was hardly alone in his take, particularly at that point in the season.

 

[BLNY]

Also, everyone needs to stop sleeping on the Panthers.

Agreed. They're perhaps they best 8 seed ever. They underachieved most of the season. From the deadline on they played like the team they were last year, from a w-l perspective. They're not the:

2010 Canadiens
1991 Stars

etc.

 

[stealth1]

This is all you need to hear about the Leafs core. They don't have it and never will.

 

[Tuna99]

Toronto is a good team, so many good teams never get their Cups - Prongers Blues, Alfie’s Sens, Luongos Canucks.

Might just be one of those teams we don’t appreacite until all the players are retired

They kind of remind me of the 2012 post season Kings.

The best 8th seed ever are the 2012 LA Kings.

Flag on the play on that list.

How many of those teams made it past the second round and made it to the finals.

 

[GreatSaveEssensa]

I am at the cabin so I did not watch the game. Can someone update me on the really important part of the game - how did Toronto look in the handshake line?

Very composed and experienced. If theres one thing JT is good at, it’s leading his team in the handshake line. Intangibles I suppose, one of the things you just cant teach.
