Series Talk: Round 2 Discussion - Panthers vs Bruins - Part II

[Felidae]

If you want to ring your hands over either of them go ahead, we can revisit it when I open the round 3 discussion thread.

I have watched every game of their series, and neither holds a candle to TB, its also why Boston tried to duck them at the end of the year.

Line em up, we will play, and can beat anyone IMO.

The discussion started about momentum.

All I did was point out the similar circumstances to our first round win last year if Leafs manage to beat the Bruins this series

Coming back from a 3-1 series is very rare btw. The momentum and mental resiliency that comes with winning a series like that is real, that's all I'm saying.

Acknowledging that doesn't mean I don't have confidence in our team beating anyone.

If Toronto wins the core will be 2-7 in playoff series.

They had momentum last year too, celebrated after round one like they won the cup. We are better than last year, they are worse.

The tears will be delicious regardless. The Leafiest thing to do would be to battle back and lose in Boston in game 7, but we shall see.

True, but ig there's the element of being an underdog that didn't exist last year. Not saying that will be enough or anything.

Can't disagree with that.

Honestly not sure which outcome is funnier. Leafs taking it to game 7 just to lose the series, or Boston losing back to back 3-1 leads.

I am not saying it will be a sweep or anything but I can't fathom a situation where we lose 4 times to either squad.

Joseph Woll gave us problems last year

Joseph Woll gave us problems last year

Because he won 1 game in an elimination game at home?

They have Reilly and 5 #5s on D.

If we win 1 game handily we will see Samsonov.

So they only get a day of rest before the next series start. Better hope for triple OT!

Honestly

I'm pissed. I wanted hockey on Saturday.

The Panthers better kick the ever loving hipposhit out of either team

 

[sinDer]

TBH I hate facing teams with momentum, I think the most ideal scenario is Toronto wins today and Boston wins game 7 in 5OT.

But then Boston will have the momentum lol

I don't think the Panthers played their best hockey vs the Lightning.

What I do know is that they will need to play their best in the coming rounds if they want a chance to go back to the Finals. They flipped the switch, but only about halfway. Need better, especially on the special teams.

Someone understand the call up from Knight, is he know the third Goalie or for what with that kind of Back Up Goalie we have current?

 

[GigaChad]

WE WANT... The Leafs?

No roster or salary limits in the playoffs

He's just there to participate in practices

They were not, Panthers had to adjust their play style, Tampa Bay success is based on their power play and Panthers did a great Job on both, especially on the PK.
I watched all of the games between Toronto and Boston, and I was impressed by Toronto how they handled Boston on the second game away, but it felt like a one off, but I think now, they figured out Boston Aquiles heal, as a Boston fan I would feel very disappointed, Boston is a powerhouse and they might go out with a whimper.

Bennett? He dead?

 

[Gentle Man]

I was referring to the Verhaeghe Barky Tkachuk line mostly

Honestly Okposo has been pretty good

 

[5 Hole]

PoMo is mixing it up.

GR raised in his mailbag that Bennett could be traded given his contract is coming up and we have center depth. I love Benny and do not want to lose him, but that next contract will be tricky. If Lundell and Stenlund do well in their respective roles, wonder if we do actually trade Benny.

Lundell's stepped up his game in the 2nd-line role so far. Same goes for Stenlund on 3rd and Lorentz on 4th. We need Stenlund for his PK and he's gonna cost more. Lorentz looks like a potential keeper. I guess it's possible. Don't want to think much about it now though, Benny is so important to our team.
