Pre-Game Talk: Toronto Maple Leafs @ Florida Panthers

[ToneDog]

even if 1st OA?

Would you trade Draisaitl for 1st OA ??

 

[ToneDog]

IMO yes. I would trade anyone not named McDavid or Makar for that pick.

So you would trade a proven generational goal scorer for an unproven 5'9" winger ??

 

[Oilers in NS]

IMO yes. I would trade anyone not named McDavid or Makar for that pick.

agreed
frees up so much cap and opens lots of possibilities

 

[ToneDog]

not the question

I'd want more than Berard for Matthews so No.

 

[ACC1224]

I did not mean behind, I meant literally beside him. LOL.

I sat first row behind the Washington bench one night in HP seats.
I could have smacked Ovi in the back of the head if there wasn't glass between us.
Watched the game on the big screen and wished I was up in my nosebleeds so I could see all the ice.

not the question

This has nothing to do with tonights game.

 

[Niagara Bill]

Bold prediction but I'd love to see it.

So which one of our injured goaltenders must swallow their pay chequered and play.
The one who is about to maybe have a baby last week, could be, possibly or the one who has been injured weekly since 2021.
I assume Woll is close by.

I think Murray is playing tonight.

I believe it was against Forida last year that Kalgren pulled the shoot after being lit up. No idea which Leaf team shows up tonight cause I expect a desperate Panthers team now that they are out of a WC spot.

If it's none of my business fair enough but i'm curious how much your tickets were.

200$ (Canadian) each. More than I wanted to spend to be honest.

I bought them about 4 weeks ago and I really wanted to sit near the glass at the Panther’s end, hoping to see the net filled with Leaf goals so I wasn’t worried about the best deal as much as the best seats !

Still cheaper than the same seats in Toronto, but not the ‘giveaway’ some people might have thought

Let’s hope that the result is worth it !

I'd pay it too. Might as well make the most out of the experience.

It'll be something you remember forever, good or bad result.

As long as it isn't money you need to feed your responsibilities, memories that you'll discuss for years.

A decent investment.

I really didn’t expect tickets to cost this much.

This one makes me nervous. It feels an awful lot like Florida is going to want this one much more than we do.

I hope I’m wrong….

[Jojalu]

Damn I am in Deerfield Beach, 30 minutes from Sunrise , should I buy a cheap ticket and go????

100% you should

 

[v4karuna]

I don't recognize this team anymore.. too many changes lol

The panthers are hungry and they are going to pounce on their prey tonight.

9-1 Panthers.

We've gone to Columbus a couple times, easy drive from here.
4 tickets in the lower bowl were about $400 ($100 each)

Yeah tonight is a weird one. I've changed my pick in the prediction contest 3 times so far.

 

[francis246]

Liljegren has been playing like shit, no problem with him sitting out. Unfortunately that applies to many other players too, who Keefe wouldn't even dream of holding accountable

Cough Justin Freaking Holl cough

 

[Niagara Bill]

I think Murray is playing tonight.

Thanks, I just read Woll is back and the baby watch is on again.

 

[IPS]

I think it's a mix of new players and being in cruise control until the playoffs being that they've already known their opponent 4 months in advance is why the Leafs have had some very bad games lately.. Never know which Leafs show up tonight.

That's the spirit! Head into the playoffs a bit of a mess and cruising, becase you know, all the success they've had

Liljegren has been playing like shit, no problem with him sitting out. Unfortunately that applies to many other players too, who Keefe wouldn't even dream of holding accountable

And if he does, he'll basically apologize in the media. Wonder if that's on Dubas though - Mr Loyalty and keep everyone happy

 

[1specter]

Leafs are generally bad in Florida and the Panthers are desperate while the Leafs have been playing pretty uninspired of late. Have low expectations for this one.

Which means they show up lol

 

[Magic Man]

I'm hoping Murray can build off his last performance and start to gain some confidence. I still think if he looks good down the stretch he could oust Samsonov for game #1.

Looks like a gritty lineup tonight from the Leafs end. They probably should have dressed Luke last game against the Islanders. Having both Luke and Simmer in for a game against the division rival Panthers who are also fighting for their playoff lives is probably not the worst plan. Although had McMann been healthy he probably plays tonight.

I think this is going to be a good one.

 

[Nhlpowerweek]

I think Murray is playing tonight.

That G is definitely playing tonight sire. And by the look of it, seems like he is getting better sleep too than 2 months ago. His eye bags is not that swollen anymore. He looked like a guy by those trash cans I often see. Getting sandwiches.

TBH I don't ever think they're going to be good anymore.

I expect their unfocused, giveaway, unmotivated, uninspired, teetering on getting blown out mode in most games.
