Hope Keefe has an answer to the Florida forecheck. They play a similar way to Tampa except they are even faster.

Need more from Marner and Nylander. Disappointments in game 6. The long pass turnovers from these 2 could have sent us to a game 7
Also Boston did not choke in the way to make it seem like panthers were inferior. Panthers earned those 3 wins in a row Boston didn't throw the games away. Treat them like under dogs and we lose. They are not inferior.

I don’t think the leafs will take any team lightly and they saw Florida a bunch before the end of the season so they know what they are up against. Keefe needs to have the boys ready for another battle. Should see Matthew’s and marner have more space to dominate. Knies watch is on this kid is itching to break into the goal column. LETS FFFFFFFFFN GO!
Florida is not good defensively. also they are undisciplined and suck at PK. That is what the Leafs need to exploit to win the series.

your guess is as good as mine....
personally think they should've swapped him out a couple of games back too.
Lafferty is the 13th forward. If there’s an injury he subs in.
Then why wasn’t Swayman in the lineup to start the series?
The narrative doesn’t add up here.

I think we are making different points.
Yup! I was going to say simialr but didn’t want to say where I live
Florida doesn't stuff up the neutral zone the way Tampa does. If all goes good offense is gonna come much easier for us in this series than vs Tampa.

Offered and lost
I don't think this is going to be a cakewalk by any means. There's the baseline respect you need to give the Panthers for clowning on Boston, but they also play extremely aggressive on the forecheck. Their ozone play against Boston was literally hug the Boston defense until they turn the puck over, fast short pass to an open man, shoot, score. That's going to be a headache for this team, and while I think we do well at clearing the net front, that style also takes pressure off the points, and Montour loves sliding off the point with a very dangerous shot.
Where I like us is that Florida really doesn't have the horses on the backend, in the bottom 6, or in net to smother our own offense. Toronto is perfectly happy winning 5 goal games. Yeah Bob might goalie us but I don't think there's a reason to expect that above the baseline chance that any goalie can play scorching hot for a series. I'm optimistic for a win but I'm expecting Florida to make it painful. They'll put some numbers up in at least one game.

It WILL be a tough series, but there's really not a single area that I'd give Florida a definitive edge over the Leafs, other than having a heavier forecheck among their forwards
Leafs in 6

One thing Americans do way better than us.
Bills tailgates are epic.
Even going to games in Nashville and Carolina are insane.
Good for Toronto for trying
The X factor is playoff hockey with beer, palm trees and hot weather. I will go to Tampa Bay every year for games 3 and 4. It is just alot of fun.
Florida, I have never been (Sunrise)... I do hear they give away a free hot dog with a ticket purchase.

It’s not a ‘Tailgate’ if it’s not in a parking lot.
Not sure what you call it, a watch party?
Florida didn’t have a single definitive edge over the Bruins either.
Playoffs are wild, anything can happen. But yeah, if I had to put some money down I’d say Leafs in 6.
