[ADF] Toronto Maple Leafs (A2) vs. Florida Panthers (WC2) | Panthers win series 4-1

[-Vintage Canuck-]

Panthers look a lot like yesterday’s Devils — didn’t come out ready.

Go Leafs 

 

 

[Wise Guy]

I’m torn, part of me wants to cheer for the Leafs to watch CDC have a meltdown but part of me doesn’t want Alf celebrating.

Screw these sun belt Bettman teams. It would take literally a Stanley cup game 7 to have the game on all the TV's in the average Florida sports bar. 

[Wise Guy]

Double checked and the puck never crossed the red line for that icing call.

Looks like all the haters abandoned thread.

Dalpe was a whipping boy here ... Lol ... nice career since.

Hm looks like panthers sleeping so far. Just tuned in and it's a very fast game. 

 

Leafs can't keep this pace for 60 minutes. Playing too fast will result into mistakes. If Panthers keep this 2-1 I can see them turning the momentum.

[MaxVerstappen33]

So is Bobrovski elite again now or what

I dont recall Dalpe being that much of a whipping boy here but none the less so many of our whipping boys go elsewhere and manage decent careers

Watching this game, the Canucks team is so far from being playoff ready. Guys are out there hitting everyone, forechecking hard, creating offence out of nothing and grinding each other down. Who do we have on our roster who can bring this heat? I'd like to think Mikheyev can play this way, Miller and PDG obviously, hopefully Joshua and Aman but honestly that's it. Our 3rd line will get tossed around. Our defence? Burroughs is the only one who I think will even try and throw a hit and he'll only play 12 minutes a night. I can't imagine OEL and Myers throwing the body the way Gudas and Reilly and Schenn are.

He played on the Sedin like for a couple shifts once.

Bobrovski is elite again. Leafs are toast

This is why it was so important to try and get in the playoffs with the push in last part of the season. If only to see first hand how the intensity ratchets up. Something the tankers completely overlooked.
