ECSF - Game 1 - Toronto Maple Leafs vs Florida Panthers - 7pm EST, ESPN

[ShootTheMessenger]

Leafs deserved the win... Panthers got outplayed, but Bobrovsky stole that one, I like the Leafs chances in this series.

Also, Tkachuk I was told was going to hit everyone... he was on his back a lot.

youre really over there on life support, take another fat huff of cope and move on.

 

[Strangle]

Tkachuk is a major problem

I think bobrovsky was the major problem tonight

 

[notbias]

Literally if you clicked on that link with 4 minutes remaining in the game it was 46% Florida to 54% Toronto.

That should tell you everything you need to know about this measure.

No it wasn't... I've been checking all night... delusion

 

[Givememoneyback]

The Craig Simpson tongue bath is intense.

I have no problem with reviewing calls or non calls but they need to do it consistently. Many many obvious and sometimes game changing penalties have gone uncalled and the refs attitude was "so what?"

I agree totally. Consistency. And Im one of those rare cats who likes reviewing offside, high sticks on pucks, hand passes, etc.

no clue

Maybe we should play 1000 times to determine the winner of game 1 then.

Reminder that moneypuck had the Flames as the Stanley Cup favorites for most of this season lol

Yeah, moneypuck had Florida as a top team early in the season when they clearly, clearly were not. The Panthers have been playing much better since April started, but having them in the league's top three in November was just laughable.

Perspective. He was a major non-problem.

Bobrovsky is going to shut the leafs out in a few games this series. He looks absolutely lights out.

 

[K1900L]

The Leafs are amazing when their goalie is pulled, it will be a tough challenge for any team to defend this when up by one or two goals. Leafs will probably save themselves at least one OT with this.

Impressed by Florida, hope they win. Still believe Toronto will do it in 5 or 6.

 

[Green]

Do they have seat belts on the seats in Toronto? What a lame crowd! That's home ice advantage?
Go Leafs Go.... crickets... Lol...

It's insane how many empty seats I saw in the lower bowl when there were like 3 minutes left

Sammy will probably steal a game or two. We got a series.

 

[Leaf Fans]

The teams do not play a relegation round in the NHL.

I said might

 

[The Red Line]

It was the right call. Got to love O’Reilly though. Bleeding and no reaction and didn’t even ask for a penalty.

I mean if they had called it, it would have been the right call. But they didn't. I've never seen them call a penalty after the fact on a missed call.

Missed high sticks happen every single game, never once have they gathered and decided they missed it and awarded a penalty.

It's a pretty strange precedent to set.

I like it.

It is going to be a sweep.

Wrong thread, but Joe Pavelski!! That kid is almost my age.

I agree I have never seen it before either. Definitely strange, but the right call in the end.

 

[D Wakaluk]

I love the smug leafs fans who can't handle a loss, always on cue

 

[jackjohnson]

I'm...not a Leafs fan?

And they're beating teams by having strong forward depth, getting decent goaltending, and and coming up against a team that was built around geriatrics who didn't play at full capacity through the series, and now a Leafs team that is soft as butter and is completely failing to press the advantage against the Panthers massive, glaring achilles heel.

Geriatrics? Wtf are you talking about? Carlo and McAvoy are Geriatrics? Bertuzzi? Pasta? Etc. So you come up with excuses to make top teams look like bad teams with weakness. In that case no other team can stop FLA now.

Agreed 100%

We’re opening a whole new can of worms here. Is it because there was blood? I legitimately have no idea here. I don’t get it.

Can you review a missed elbow call? A missed trip?

What difference would it make if it happens?
