Post-Game Talk: STAYING ALIVE Leafs Win 2-1

[BertCorbeau]

Two PP's in the last 7 periods

Panthers were the most penalized team in the NHL in the regular season.

Seems legit.

 

[SprDaVE]

Just win a home now that’s it
The rest doesn’t matter

Win at HOME!

Home ice has been rough so far. Very unlucky in game 2 though to be fair, Bob stood on his head.

I hope they can break through at home.

Heh

That McCabe - Lilly pair was solid, thought McCabe had his best playoff game in a long time

Makes sense. Neither McCabe nor Brodie are good at carrying the puck. Lilly is good at it which allows McCabe to focus on the other aspects.

When the Leafs give you full of hope, that's when they pull the rug.

I'm happy now but my confidence and expectations are still at 0.

Yup. I have too much Leaf PTSD to buy in just yet. But won't it be great to witness a rare historic comeback?

 

[Wendelstache]

Though he looks like Ranford, Ill that that too!

100%, Love Bill Ranford.

Binnington actually won 2 cups and was still considered a rookie

Tell me more, I don't know this story!?

You avatar is cringe. Lives in Edmonton, Gretzky reference in his handle, Brad Marchand avatar. Get outta here dude.

You know fans do exist all over the place right? Not just Toronto and area. They're All Over the place. Vancouver Edmonton Calgary etc. All have Leaf fans. btw avatar mocking Marchand cause he looks sad.

Anyway If the mods have a problem with me being a Leaf fan from Edmonton then i'll worry about it, till then kick rocks

 

[Stand Witness]

We only have to do what the Panthers just did.

Actually less. They won 6 straight.

Heh

what is the point?

Lily's mobility allowed that game winning goal to happen.

 

[57 Years No Cup]

I did.

What did he say that was cringe?

He needs to get rids of that chip on his shoulder. It's a bad look.

 

[MarnerElite]

Good defensively.

Thats very important because i see people saying we should start Woll again(and i agree) but we were honestly quite good in our d zone...Even when they had some breaks our guys would try everything to get the puck back(so many blocks, deflections of our sticks, etc). If our offensive game can be a bit better, this kind of d should be more than good enough.

 

[tmlms13]

i just hope someone shoves up a hockey stick right up bennet's ass for life

f***ing pos

There was an episode of Law & Order SVU where that was the actual plot.

 

[BraveCanadian]

Really starting not to like Florida's antics hitting people after the whistle and after the horn and charging people.. but I guess the refs don't care?

Nice to see a much better effort from the Leafs. This is the best game they have played this series by far. Great to see Marner bounce back from that last game where he played awful.

 

[Jojalu]

Guess we are in for a stressful weekend.

Here's hoping it's Friday/Sunday

 

[Aashir]

Yup. I have too much Leaf PTSD to buy in just yet. But won't it be great to witness a rare historic comeback?

Yup, but in hasn’t happened yet

They played a great game, but they need to firstly replicate it, and improve

Honestly that probably the worst game florida has played this series. They will respond, they have to continue to build on this

They get this thing to 6 and they’ve got me back

 

[sunstersun]

That’s a shit take, he was pretty effective and made some key defensive plays. Pilling on for no reason imo.

He played like a 6-7 mil player. It was a lot better than the rest of the series. Still not up to his standard, no where near his money or regular season.

One fluky goal does not make a game.

 

[BertCorbeau]

We only have to do what the Panthers just did.

Actually less. They won 6 straight.

After not getting swept it's just nice to end that f***ing streak and not let it keep going.

The Leafs deserve the hole their in from their inconsistent effort but Florida did have some really good luck in those first two games that the Leafs couldn't outscore their problems.

 

[Strangle]

agreed. Too bad it takes elimination games to show real playoff effort.such a shame.

It’s really too bad they figured out what it takes so late. But that kind of gutsy performance is he teams win the cup.

It’s nice to see it, but it’s most likely too little too late.

One bad call, or bad bounce anytime in the next 3 games (or less) can end their season, and likely this group all together

 

[authentic]

Not sure he's better, but he's much more calm/positionally sound. Must give confidence to the Leafs defensively.

He easily has better rebound control at the very least

 

[wingman75]

This is why it matters we are playing the Panthers and not the Bruins.

If the boys can pull one out on Friday, FLA will be feeling it!

Man there are so many posters I would love to @.

 

[hockeyes]

That is exactly how the Leafs needed to play all series, Florida doesn't generate a lot when the ice tightens up.
