If that happens Leafs winning the cup

That is the one series where I would have some doubt. Vegas' defense would be an enormous challenge for the Leafs.

Brady gets to go back to what he does best. Be his brothers best cheerleader.

I voted Benoit because even though the Leafs were good in gamea 1-3 and the core was scoring, it takes that extra guy to step up. He did both game 2 and 3 and if he didn't, who knowa what happens.

Core 4 stat wise all had good series.

Nylander 3g 5 a
Marner 1g 7a
Matthews 2g 4a
Tavares 3g 2a.

Really can't ask for more. Except I will. Do it again against Fla

So you mean all of the mindless threads that popped up over the past two days are...mindless? Darn.

 

[Aashir]

i think panthers just outmatch us, especially with how matthews and marner have been

we will need them to actually show up on even strength to score every game, not just be content with playing defence against the likes of amadio and pinto

stolarz needs to wake the f*** up, he was horrendous down the stretch of the series. Mcmann might as well have been in the press box, laughton was alright but choked his chances. Patches scored but wasn't that great all arond.

if the defence holds, stolarz or woll play well, the core 4 continue to produce, and we get some contributions from the bottom 6 then we might be able to win the series

Those points seem wrong but I voted Knies he just plays how I want them all to play

 

[thusk]

Mitch is lucky we won tonight. f***ing no show with his dumbass cross crease passes to the shins was on full show tonight.

Woll needs to check in stolarz been dogshit for three straight games

Marner hit 10 last 2
Matthews/Nylander and tavares together 8

A guy who normally not at play physical finishing #2 in gm 5 and 6 behind Pacioretty at 12... That's not my definition of no show

He basically helped to waste last minute of 1st ott pp in 1st and did a hell of a job with knies the last pk, unfortunally Stolarz gave a weak one there but. He sent Knies and Carlo all alone on the slot and those chance was easily 2 of top 5 best leafs scoring chance of the game.


watch the game and not just the scoring board.

 

[Maplebeasts]

Definitely was not Stolarz. He let in some true stinkers in this series, including the tying goal tonight. I'd say Nylander followed by Jt.

Bro marners hits aren’t even hits I just appreciate none of them being scared and he had a solid game today full marks

Insert woll

 

[Maplebeasts]

Leafs are going to be in deep vs Florida, but also think Tampa turned out to be a lot weaker than we had thought going down the stretch.

Vasilevskiy has been a massive problem in the playoffs for them over the last 3 seasons.

 

[Aashir]

Insert woll

i wouldn't be opposed to it

going with stolarz due to the win is valid, but wolls upside is also very tantalizing and i would love to see if he can backstop us through the series

time will tell what we do and how it turns out

 

[Burnie97]

I picked Knies. I thought he was noticeable almost every game ... multiple times.

He's the secondary guy we've needed forever but also a power forward who isn't afraid of shit... and only what... 23?

Guy is a beast. I hope he smashes Bennetts head off the ice now.

Let's f***ing go

Playoffs baby

 

[Suntouchable13]

I think Woll needs to make an appearance here. Stolarz needs a break.

 

[ThrowDemTongs]

Definitely was not Stolarz. He let in some true stinkers in this series, including the tying goal tonight. I'd say Nylander followed by Jt.

But he also made some unreal saves. Net positive overall, despite the stinkers. Nylander then JT is actually spot on tbh

 

[Squiffy]

f*** the Panthers. All I got right now.

I don't think Panthers fans realize how much bigger this guy got since the last time these two teams faced off in the playoffs. He could legitimately kill Bennett if he hits him hard enough.

 

[1specter]

Those points seem wrong but I voted Knies he just plays how I want them all to play

He has the biggest balls on the team, dude will do anything to win.

 

[Jojalu]

I am going off top of my head but I think they are bang on.

Knies is basically the Leafs version of Oshie/Wilson on that Caps run. Badly needed a guy like him for a while.

 

[Burnie97]

No deaths involved lol... but I hope he feels the hurt he did to Knies

 

[PromisedLand]

f*** the panthers

 

[thusk]

Sure you don't reacting the same way get hit by marner or by McCabe but just showing he was engaged ib the game. He wasn't affraid to goes on contact and he did it over and over again.

Was maybe a little bit too conservative at time and would like to see him a bit more agressive but overal i think he had been good

 

[Burnie97]

Knies is basically the Leafs version of Oshie/Wilson on that Caps run. Badly needed a guy like him for a while.

Yup 100%

 

[IPS]

Show up, play well, Stolie steals a game or two, and Evilhomer becomes the most hated man in Canada.

5v5 line stats are great too despite rotating winger on the 2nd.

Knies/Matthews/Marner:
xGF%: 59.48
Goal differential: 79.82

x/Tavares/Nylander:
xGF%: 59.41%
Goal differential: 68.10%

Solid goalie and depth matching the opponent made a big difference.
