[ZBBM]

Steal one Wollsy.

 

[Ozzie]

Acquire a goalie, defender and a forward from the Champs to learn their systems from the inside, and engineer and architect a response.

Spend 82 games practicing that response.

 

[4EVRLEAFAN]

GO LEAFS GO!!

 

[Kaberle15]

All pressure is on them, let's frustrate them to the limit and steal this one. Go Leafs Go!!!

 

[L K]

Leafs need to win 1 of the next two to make this truly uncomfortable. I'd much rather that one game be tonight.

 

[cabber24]

Go Leafs Go!

Score Matthews Score!

 

[cabber24]

Every single player in the lineup is contributing. The only consistent cringeworthy plays: Reilly's pizzas, Domi's D, and Matthews' shot.

Loving our depth forwards right now. I bet we get a depth goal tonight from the bottom six. Laughton or McMann will put one in.

 

[Kaberle15]

Unleash Matthews and McMann on them!

Need to get at least a split in Florida, for sure. Panthers are going to bring their best tonight. If the Leafs can weather that storm, they have a good chance of winning this thing.

I'd love for the Leafs to win tonight.

 

[AtomicMapleLeaf2]

I hope I'm wrong, but I think we're going to get our asses kicked tonight.

Forsling and Kulikov both looked uncomfortable at times last game.

 

[ZBBM]

We are lucky that they are more banged up than we are.

Sometimes champions needs a good chunk of luck too, not only talent, resiliense, endurance, etc...

Go Leafs Go!!!

 

[ZBBM]

The MLHS pregame analysis expresses the hope that Matthews will suddenly find his shooting accuracy. I wish he would but I am pretty sure he won't. Whatever is wrong will need fixing in the offseason.

Everything will come in time. More reps is probably the most helpful here. He can't just flip a switch for it, but, once he gets it back, it will feel like he did.

 

[Ozzie]

Woll is probably going to be further targeted tonight.

Stolarz is likely out for series IMHO.... Berube downplaying the severity so as to shield Woll. I.e. if Panthers think they hurt Woll it will mean Stolarz comes in they may not go after him. But Stolarz can't even fly. So no one intelligent will buy that Stolarz is smiling and cheerful with a return that's imminent.

The best thing Berube has done is keep the team focused and composed.

But whats the response if the dirtbag Panthers start hitting Woll?

Ekblads forearm was super dirty with intent to injure.

 

[cabber24]

Nothing is lucky about the head shots they have given both our goalies.
