Getting the toughest assignments and being down 3-1 doesn’t help the case much imo. 

We saw a good example in the last 20 Canuck games. 

 

Wolanin and Brisebois came in and played great. They were being sheltered. 

Now I will give Brisebois credit for his PK play, however.... 

There were two games where Wolanin and Brisebois got elevated to 2nd pairing assignments and they looked horrible as they were going up against the other team's first and second lines. 

 

I think that deployment is a huge huge factor that has.you go from facing a JT Compher, to all of a sudden facing MacKinnon and Rantanen.

Come on Cats, finish them off on the next one. I’m already getting tired of hearing my friend’s Leafs boasting…

Yea that's just embarrassing. He's just standing there getting punched by Tkachuk like a bobble head. 

 

As much as I want Panthers to advance Bennett is starting to really annoy me.

A little dramatic reaction, if you ask me.
 

Both players are good friends since they played together on the Knights. Tkachuk was even having a laugh with Marner when they were pulled apart.

I want that 18yr old on the Nucks.

 

Bennett is awesome.

I don't know the two players' relationship outside of hockey, but I think fans would appreciate any sort of push back. I watched a clip of McDavid trying to stand up for Draisaitl after Pietrangelo gave him a dirty slash in yesterday's game. Sure he was 'punching' with his gloves on because he didn't want to injure his hand, but at least he did something when he could have just skate around. 

 

I guess if fans accept that their top players don't react to anything physical then it's okay?

It really is an embarrassing look.  All the Leafs fans were all talking about how he was just eating the punches with his face.  A guy is punching your face and all you keep doing is appeal to the linesman.  It's the end of the game.  What does he want, a penalty?

It's this new generation, it boggles my mind on how they react to that crap. Even in my 50's, I can't steer from chaos and challenges. I'm gonna get thumped hard someday, lol.

Truly a laugh fest to watch the machinations of the HNIC crew. First they trot out all the examples of previous comebacks and then talk about the mind games that Florida is playing and then go into their standard about how good the Fabulous Four are. If Florida scores the first goal the crying will be heard across the country. Go Panthers Go!

Cheering for the Leafs, having them get eliminated in game 7 would be maximum pain, let's not put them out of their misery too soon.

Leafs looking like they showed up an hour too early for their tee time.
