GDT: GDT: ECSF: (A1) Toronto Maple Leafs vs (A3) Florida Panthers - GAME 1 - 8 PM EST IN TORONTO

[HockeyVirus]

Not my leaf fans at work they seem to planning the parade at younge street . I cant breathe at work.

In that case hopefully the Leafs keep winning

 

[Leaf Fans]

I'm willing to bet my left nut that leafs wont win the cup this year I'm that confident this whole thing will be forgotten soon. Nobody remembers teams winning the first 2 rounds of playoffs anyways even the cup finalist is forgotten . Its cup or bust. Sorry to a debby downer here but it's the way it is. I know all this because I'm a Bruins fan. I've seen both sides of the coin . It's the reality of sports.

Sure, it's easy when you would Welch on the bet. However, it will be a tough road for any team.

 

[IceManCat]

Panthers need to clear their crease! Saving their sticks for the rest of the road trip or what?

Fun game as a neutral-ish fan

Yeah Leafs getting tons of traffic in front

 

[rojac]

Are you talking about when they won the Stanley Cup last year? Lmfao

They still blew a 3-0 series lead and had to go to OT to win it and let's face it, playoff OT is pretty much a crapshoot.

 

[D Wakaluk]

Leaking chances?? What did the Cats have, like 5-6 shots, including 2 PPs? Absolutely dominant period by the Leafs. Second period is Torontos best, but I'm expecting a much better Florida team

Well, good chances don't always generate a shot on goal you know

Leafs were better, no denying that

 

[Kranix]

You can have one.

Toronto will have one.

 

[ThrowDemTongs]

We're not in Kansas anymore

 

[behemolari]

Panthers will wake up.

Couldnt have asked for a better start by the leafs.

this is perfect start for Panthers too

Stick to money rather than body parts. You can always earn the money back.

 

[IceManCat]

Someone said the Panthers came out flat. How do you come out flat in round 2? It just looks like the Leafs came out with a big can of “f*** you” and dictated the tone to start.

Uhh teams come out flat in round 1,2,3 and the Finals. It happens all the time every year...

 

[Connor MethDavid]

I had fun once. It was awful.

 

[HockeyVirus]

Playoff Rielly is legit

A Bruins fan especially shouldn't be putting the fate of his nut in the hands of Berube.

Totally. Panthers fluked their way to a cup last year. Anybody can win the cup against anybody, except these Leafs, they won't be denied and they'll win without any fluke.

No, you are hearing the fans chearing for the Leafs in game one. Planning something wouldn't disturb you.

 

[Crazy Monkey]

That was as much of a lopsided period as there is. Not expecting Leafs to have another one of those like that this series

 

[Tobias Kahun]

You mean when they won 3-1 in regulation?

 

[Just Rude]

Great start for the Leafs but looooooooooong way to go.

Now you're getting it!

I remember bruins in 2011 were down 0 and 2 twice in series and won the cup. I think kings did it down 0 and 3 and won the whole dam thing. Hockey is like ping pong anything can happen.

 

[Leaf Fans]

Toronto will have one.

That would be great, but they have to win first.

 

[Gnome17]

Give me a break lmao, these are professional athletes, not 14 year old kids balancing hockey with the rest of their lives. If the Leafs lose it won’t be because hockey players burned out playing hockey

Give ME a break lmfao, I mean burn out in the sense that they cant push like this for 4-7 games, period after period, its extremely common that teams play really hard in the beginning of a game to then somber time while the other team takes over. Thats why teams talk about trying to weather the storm in the first period while playing away, for example.
I think Leafs will have a lot of ups and down this series while Florida will play more even and wear them down.

Winning a Cup is now blowing it

What will it be when the Leafs don’t see the 3rd round again?

 

[Kranix]

That would be great, but they have to win first.

you're being a tad disrespectful, did you see that period from Reilly and Willie? The cup is pretty much decided.

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

Plan the parade (non ironically actually)
