HF Habs: Out of Town Thread: 2025 Playoff edition

[Whitesnake]

You learn to win in your losses. I think it's CLEAR that the Leafs learned their lessons....And frankly, no matter what we think about them...it's about time.

It took them time to learn that playing fancy and pure talent wouldn't make them win anything.

Aaron Ekblad is a much better player than Seth Jones

I think Simpson and cutthroat wear depends when they do these games

Florida has played a lot of physical hockey the last 3 years. They might be running out of steam. Toronto also plays way, way tighter defensively than they used to. Remember that game against us at the end of the season ? That had nothing to do with the Keefe Leafs.

The Leafs also beefed up and upgraded their defense a lot this year with Tanev, OEL, and Carlo which is helping them a lot especially the shot blocking and physicality, along with a much better overall team game defensively under Berube.

Can't believe Leafs are the favourites to come out of the East

I didn't think they had it in them after that first round, but they're looking legit against Florida.

This is going to be a sweep isn't it? And Leafs will get to rest.

 

[sheed36]

Florida looks completely done. Nothing about their game anywhere looks good at all.

 

[Paddyjack]

Well folks, the Cup may be in Canada this year, 8 hours driving from here

Too much time off a momentum killer hopefully.

I mean they're about to go 3-0 on the defending cup champs who just dispatched the Lightning in 5. They deserve the praise right now.

 

[The Great Weal]

That should be a goal, that was going in

 

[Paddyjack]

That should be a goal, you can't play the puck with a broken stick

 

[sheed36]

Might be a Florida goal..

Yup.. 3-2 Leafs.

 

[Schooner Goon]

You can't play the puck with a broken stick. Can it get called on a video review?

 

[Kairi Zaide]

Thank you Stéphane Auger for your input

 

[OldCraig71]

I would like to see Hutson get pucks through from the point like Marner is doing tonight.

 

[Schooner Goon]

Both Florida's goals came from lucky bounces. They better capitalize!

 

[Schooner Goon]

Tie game!

Leafs stink at 3-1!

What a play by Bennett!

[sheed36]

Guess I should've brought up Verhaeghe and Bennett needing to show up way before.

 

[OldCraig71]

I praised Marner but he flat out quit on that backcheck opportunity.
