These post-game and intermission panels are wild. The Leafs win one series and these dudes are hyped. They may as well be in the studio with their Leafs jerseys on.
I've avoided Sportsnet the entire playoffs. I can't stand the Leaf bias.. Its bad enough on my Twitter timeline.. every reporter Leafs , Leafs Leafs.
 
I guess they forgot Florida was the best team in the league in 21-22. They aren't the pushovers of years ago.

I'm starting to think the laffs would've had a better chance against slower Boston.

That was a desperate Leafs team trying to not go down 0-2 at home.

I'm not sure they'll have that same motivation when they arrive in Florida.

That third period is probably the best we'll see Toronto play before they get sent to the golf courses.

Florida has been good but this win is 100% on Bobrovsky and the difference in goaltending quality.

They absolutely can be better though

I don't understand how these expansion teams look so good. Seattle is dominating the Stars.
It's almost like having your bottom 6 filled with speed and skill is better than filling them with plugs that are good at cross checking.

But what do I know, I'm sure having a Parker Kelly and Austin Watson in that lineup would improve their team.
 
Teams that have won both games to go up, 2-0, have gone 254-37 -- 87.2 percent.
Go Panthers go!
But Panthers please be reminded that the Leafs went 3 for 3 on the road vs Tampa....so don't get too far ahead of yourselves Panthers. You can do this Panthers!

Not only that, but also not having $8-10 million dollar talent on the top lines taking up all the cap space. Gives a lot of flexibility to have a balanced and deep team at all positions.

Also a reason not to constantly go for the biggest names when the opportunity presents itself (Cat) and to focus on rounding out a strong overall roster. 82 game regular season + at least 20 more playoff and preseason games....being able to roll four lines all year saves a lot of injuries, too.

Seattle is a team full of second line forwards and 2nd pairing Dmen. Lots of depth and no real dropoff top to bottom.

The Panthers will be better after an extra day off. I bet they are a tired bunch right now.
