Pre-Game Talk: Panthers @ Leafs : Round 2 Game 5

[Darcy Tucker]

Protecting home ice and going back down to Florida to slug it out means everything to me.

 

[MSZ]

Please make it 2-4 at home because the 1-4 record is no good.

If they play like they played last night they will be very hard to beat.
Florida didn’t have many looks

 

[AvroArrow]

Wow I'm finally allowed to like posts again. Feels good man.

Jealous, I just lost my ability to like posts, feels bad man

 

[Sypher04]

TSN turning point last night. 11 more Woll wins this year with the core showing up.

Why not

Florida is living it up with Bobrovsky putting up ~.930% during their winning streak. The majority of NHL teams would win with that goaltending. Heck even yesterday he was great with a .920%. Only 2 games under .900, and only one of them was during that winning streak, both against Boston. He was a .900 goaltender the entire season. Goaltenders are voodoo. I will say the one thing Florida does well is cover rebounds and second chances, so he's been stopping pretty much every first shot and that's huge.

If he can come back down to earth, Leafs need to play like they typically can play and they'll have a great chance.

Damn

 

[Brown Dog]

Man, I wish they'd found a way to score in OT in Game 3. Amazing what that one goal would've meant in the complexion of the series.

 

[Aashir]

Just win the next one

Keep that mentality and play with 100% effort

 

[ThrowDemTongs]

Matthews with 5 goals. Book it

Inshallah

 

[AvroArrow]

Matthews with 5 goals. Book it

At some point they have to start going in for him

 

[Rude Dog]

Leafs spotted the Panthers the 3-0 series lead. Pretty sure they just wanted to improve their wins while facing elimination record. Leafs are winning tomorrow night. That's as far as I go for now.

GLG

 

[Burnie97]

Just one at a time.

Get the next one at home. They're due.

Then go from there.

One board battle, hit, shot, goal, at a time. Grind it out.

Bring it to 7 and anything can happen... and if they make it there... they are way the f*** over due for a game 7 win.

Won't be easy getting there though.

 

[Rob Brown]

Provided we win tomorrow, the series is going to come at us pretty fast after those dumb two day breaks. Potential for Friday, Sunday, then Tuesday if it goes the distance.

Too late now but it would of been nice to see Acciari-Matthews-Orielly. I'm sure these 2 guys could wake up Matthews

 

[tmlms13]

Matthews with 5 goals. Book it

As long as it isn't 4.

 

[mydnyte]

Matthews and Tavares, it's your turn now.

All someone needs to do is tell Matthews Do NOT Pass the puck entering the zone!!!
Keep it on your stick, and have Florida try and take it away, that will draw penalties and open 1-2 players.
the give and go is useless because Matthews always does the give, and never gets it back.
and Keefe should really have noticed this by now, it hasnt worked for 2 seasons now

 

[notDatsyuk]

as silly as it sounds, i have always believed in the "one game at a time" theory - just win the next one. Don't think 'we have to win four straight'. Just think we have to win the next game.
Obviously, statistically, easier said than done.

Also, I have been asked to go to tomorrow's game - i politely declined - I have been to one game in each of the first two rounds, and they lost both. As Stevie Wonder would say..."Very superstitious...."

In the playoffs you only have to win your last game.

 

[Le Magnifique]

I just saw the highlights from last nights game.
Gudas' hit on Kampf was out of line - it's clearly charging .

 

[notDatsyuk]

I don’t wanna jinx it, but Barkov is so overrated.

Looks like Tavares out there.

It was also after the whistle was already blown.

 

[Steven1562]

You got to Beleaf.

 

[LaPlante94]

I saw someone say that they don't know why Lafferty hasn't been used on the PK here much when he led Chicago with 4 SH goals this season. I wonder why we haven't tried it out.
