GDT: Florida @ Toronto - Wednesday 7:30 pm - The Fight for First

[dangomon]

These game stink, it's either:
A) We win - Ah, Florida is tired and injured. Means nothing in the long run.
or
B) We lose - Wow, can't even beat a tired and injured Florida team. Fraudulent bums will be a first-round exit again.

 

[LeafSteel]

I'm not nervous as I have low expectations as they have failed me everytime

 

[notDatsyuk]

Isn't it all relative?

Third cousin twice removed.

I'll take A for $500 Alex.

I'll take A for $500 Alex.

If it means we get Ottawa in the first round instead of TB or FLA, then I am all in. Just from an entertainment point of view i will take that.

I want A very much but I’m concerned about B…..this is the Leafs after all

Nothing you can do about injuries but Florida will bring it's 'A' game tonight no doubt.
Winning tonight will be huge.

I don't know if Florida is playing poorly or resting for the playoffs, but they lost to Montreal last night. Is Montreal better than we think and playing them 1st round makes me wonder. I don't know if we want Toronto to win the Atlantic division or not.

If we manage to win the division, it's far more likely that we would play Ottawa and the 8th seed will face Washington.

I think Florida will struggle to create much offense in this game. They also take a lot of penalties, so the Leafs' special teams should have a good game.

 

[Stephen]

This is a huge game that they need to come out ready to play. This is also a recording.

True, but I couldn't care less about the narrative right now with the division on the line.

 

[PanniniClaus]

Drummondville/Halifax Game 4 for me but luckily an early start so I'll still catch a decent bit of the Leafs unless it's OT.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

I hate the habs as much as anybody in fact I hate them more then most.

But I want What's best for the Leafs and if that's a win Montreal win so be it.

Their win last night means that 1st place is not on the line tonight.

But a win is critical because Tampa is only 1 point back and I don't have a lot of confidence in Ottawa tomorrow,

tonight the Panthers are on the 2nd night of a back to back with no Tkachuk, No EkBlad, no Kulikov and it looks like no Nico Sturm.

They are beat up and should be tired.

Hopefully the Leafs can jump on them early and get the tremendous victory

 

[Torontonian]

Big game tonight, I hope Toronto takes this as a playoff game tonight. -- In saying that, what's the over/under that Toronto is down 2-0 by the end of first period tonight?

Given Florida's recent struggles, I'm not sure they will score two goals the entire game. As long as stolarz or Bob don't fall flat, it should be a low-scoring contest.

 

[Larcos_Unal]

Nicky Robertson season is so over

 

[likecheese]

Nicky Robertson season is so over

What's the over/under on Patches getting re-injured? 1.5 games? And then when they've lost a couple games in the series and Jarnkrok is providing less than nothing, Nicky will make his triumphant return.

 

[TMLBlueandWhite]

Nicky Robertson season is so over

I'm amazed he's even on the team still given the dumb penalties, underperformance in scoring, and lack of height and weight.

He's just not a very good player.

 

[MSteve]

Nicky Robertson season is so over

Scratch and Score Nicky!

 

[Leafs87]

Would love to give Reaves another shot. Specifically down the stretch here

 

[Al14]

If I said this is a milestone measuring stick game, it would be considered an underestimate statement on the importance of the outcome and the process and play within to gauge current competitiveness.

Elbows UP Leafs.

That's all our Leafs need, phantom elbowing penalties !!!

 

[ACC1224]

Would love to give Reaves another shot. Specifically down the stretch here

they would need to recall him and waive someone else, can't see that happening.

 

[DarkKnight]

Interesting, McGran on TSN said Pac "looks ready to go", just can he come in with no reps before playoffs. Hak, no surprise isn't an option.

 

[67leafs]

I’ll be at the rematch on Tuesday in Florida.

 

[LeafalCrusader]

Would love to give Reaves another shot. Specifically down the stretch here

No cap space to recall him.
