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

[TorMapleJays]

No Barkov, Tkachuk, Ekblad or Kulikov....and people are worried about this game?

Ya. I was there two weeks ago.

Sunny and 13 degrees here on the west coast. Almost criminal to sit inside and watch hockey on such a gorgeous late afternoon.

That's why I love playoff games. Watching it from Patio somewhere.
Unfortunately as a leafs fan, that lasts about a week

 

[TorMapleJays]

Drop the puck.

 

[DarkKnight]

Panthers number 1 in league in puck retrievals.

Love this stretch drive!

after watching this core for a long time, people should worry

I think what people should actually do is not put any stock whatsoever in what winning this game means. This is not the Panthers team that will show up in the playoffs, so treating a win as though it means anything for this core of players is not rational.

 

[fahad203]

I miss Norris division

 

[fahad203]

6-1 Leafs

 

[Brown Dog]

We've only won 3 division titles (including the COVID North)?!?? Oh man, that's depressing.

 

[Suntouchable13]

Barkov being out kinda takes something away from the excitement for this game. Oh well, I just care about the 2 points.

 

[9Iron]

Howdy Ho's !!

Well NHL math says if the Habs can beat this team 4 times without a loss and 2 times in 3 nights we can beat them tonight. LOLOLOL, just kidding the Habs would wipe the floor with us right now....

As always though, we never know what we are going to get with the Sybil Leafs.

 

[yubbers]

SHould be a good one. Back to back for the Panthers so play some tight D to start. Wear em out

 

[Evilhomer]

6-1 Leafs

That might be overly optimistic.

Id rather earn 2 points than lose 2, but maybe that’s just me

 

[thewave]

FL Staff ... Lets just rest everybody and pound the crap out them before the playoffs. Sound good?

Expect to get pounded. Win but it's gonna hurt. Just a hunch

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

No Barkov, no Tkachuk, no Ekblad, no Kulikov, no Sturm?

And they played last night

Don't like seeing injury but you need to jump on them

 

[Brown Dog]

No Barkov, no Tkachuk, no Ekblad, no Kulikov, no Sturm?

Don't like seeing injury but you need to jump on them

No excuses!

They are going to play us rough.

 

[DarkKnight]

That might be overly optimistic.

Who are you?

 

[tmlms13]

With Barkov out now feels like Panthers are just going to Punt on the regular season.

 

[Confucius]

Panthers got Marchand for a conditional 2nd..

 

[BTP]

Way to kill the excitement - The kittens cant stay healthy, smh.

 

[Evilhomer]

Id rather earn 2 points than lose 2, but maybe that’s just me

of course, and the Leafs will get the 2 points here. But, at the same time, maybe we don't need 500 posts about how this was a "statement" game for the Leafs? It creates some separation from Tampa. That is the most meaningful thing about this game.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

I hate Florida. Kick their teeth in Leafs.

 

[keonsbitterness]

Which one of you ordered this crappy weather? REPENT!
