GDT: Panthers at Leafs, 8PM

[Chaos2k7]

If Toronto inserts Ryan Reaves, they are falling into the Matt Rempe trap. lol

Just makes their 4th line unplayable IMO.

Playoffs isn't much about fighting even though it can happen. PoMo would pick on that decision.

This series will be very tough if Stolarz gets red hot again.

Honestly, I thought Ottawa played well vs Toronto 5v5, just got goalied in a couple of games and made a lot of critical mistakes. Toronto did not play poorly.

Yeah like I said in the other thread, they're just trying to play Panthers hockey, but we do it better and we've done it longer.

This chart is just insane. Basically they kept at it even though they sucked at it.

I love this - I completetely agree that Toronto are playing our style but we're just better at it: our roster was constructed to play that way - it's more natural to the players we have, and we've obviously been doing it for longer.

TBH, I think that this series is ours to lose. We lose this because we f***ed up. That's both a blessing and a curse: a blessing because it's under our control; but a curse because if we lose, we can only blame ourselves.

How did we not get chosen for the mains again? This makes literally no sense

My sources telling me multiple reports from Leafs fans flooding the MODs email server due to TIP causing them PTSD

Let’s go baby 4th line legacy game

Would've liked to see Mackie get some time in again...but guess if it ain't broke.

It goes to the home team, then they are compared by quality.

Weird we never get picked right?

Amazing we made the finals with that lineup

Which is exactly the reason it bugs me when people keep referring to the 2023 series.


Like holy shit, look at that team. It looks HORRIBLE on paper lmao. WE had no choice but to win "dirty" cause that lineup isnt capable to win otherwise

We are the home team though

Because we live rent free in their heads?

Forsling died. Confirmed

Gus might be the most underrated Dman in the league, still.

Oh you know, He's just stapled on Kucherov the last 10 playoff games. No big deal

Blasphemy! White-Cousins alone was worth the price of admission

 

[IdleTraveller]

So if we go on another run, we'd be a Cinderella team? Love that idea

 

[Idiot Stick]

Marchand being in almost all of these

wow. Late developments…
