[ACC1224]

On to the next one. I'm not worried.

Guessing they will take today off and practice tomorrow in Florida.

Any update on Knies? Any other injuries from last night?

Might be time to revisit the super line:

Tavares - ROR - Marner

Bring in Gus, go 11/7, play the hell out of the big boys

If Tavares is anywhere but a 4th line we lose.

Panthers luck gonna run out eventually.

2 posts alone last night, multiple grade a chances in tight, dont see Marner, Nylander and Matthews being blanked for much longer.

Panthers are insanely opportunistic when it comes to their scoring chances. Clog up the neutral zone and for the love of god d men, play d and stop pinching every cycle play and getting yourself out of position

also whats with this bull shit schedule- no saturday game? i had my stupid wedding shower sunday afternoon/night

With that cap hit, you have to play him and put him in a position where he can succeed. JT had trouble vs Tampa and now with a faster Florida team he's a ghost 5v5. Moving to the wing would shelter him and give him a chance to generate some offense.

He ain't generating shit. Put him down, the less time he is on the ice the better for the team. He was pathetic when they tried him on the wing when we first acquired ROR.

All Bennett received was a $ 5000.00 fine!

 

[leafsfan5]

Well.....now it's do or die. We lose game 3 and the season is over

Time for the big boys to step up. Out chancing them isn't enough, you need to finish

And i believe it was for the cross-check

Yeap, coffee money for him

 

[Kelly]

Looking for a Schenn stunner off the top turn buckle on Bennett as retaliation, let's go.

 

[AvroArrow]

1) Beat the shit out of Bennett
2) Get bodies in front of Bob like we did with Vasi
3) Scratch Gio

I wish I was chill...

Knies is a huge loss. The team had 3 really balanced lines and that third line was looking great to start the game and was matching up perfectly against Florida's top six. I hope he comes back but that looked really bad. Maybe he's back for game 4 with the extra days in between, but if we're down 0-3 it's a moot point.

What kills me is that if Tampa advanced they probably sweep Florida (again).

 

[sxvnert]

I guess we're going 11/7:

Bunting Matthews Marner
Jarnkrok O'Reilly Nylander
Kerfoot Tavares Lafferty
---------- Kampf Acciari

Rielly Schenn
Gus Brodie
McCabe Lily
Gio

 

[Space Coyote]

Most Leaf thing would ever happen is they steal the next 2 games winning 3 out of the next 5 only to lose in 7 at home.

 

[saffronleaf]

either start woll or put sammy on a very very tight leash

Well they banked 2 games. Even just being adequate now is enough for them. The Leafs as always were not ready.

This is it. Over 40 shots for the 4 and nothing.

That will change. I think they win both in Florida.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Go 11 and 7 and break up Matthews and Marner. And assuming Knies is out:

Bunting-Matthews-Nylander
Jarnkrok-Tavares-Marner
Kerfoot-O’Reilly-Acciari
Lafferty-Kampf

Rielly-Schenn
McCabe-Brodie
Gustafsson-Liljegren
Gio

Samsonov

 

[Kiwi]

Crash the ******* net

They want to get physical get in close to Bob and make them eat it you wimps

Make a stop to Samsonov you plug

 

[leafan11]

Put Simmonds in for the love of god. What a gutless group of players. Your stud rookie been targeted all night , and zero push back. SOFT AND PURPOSELESS

 

[AvroArrow]

Bad news is Knies out for the series

Good news is the hockey pundits on the mains have told me it was just a clean physical playoff play, so hopefully our guys do the same and just start pulling Florida players down to the ice head first and start cross-checking guys in the head. Nothing but a $5K fine !

f***ing sucks. And of course the league doesn't give a f***, go f*** yourself George Parros
