Matt Ross: ROUND 2, GAME 2

Go Panthers!!

Fack 'em

As previously stated, greasy play by Bennett, but nothing too egregious. Maybe....maybe....2 minutes for interference, but that's it. Just surprised it was not called given the all-time low-bar standard for penalties established with the first call on Domi.

Woll will be fine. He has been in this place the last two playoffs and excelled....not worried about him. The bigger concern is....and sorry Panthers fans....do we see the usual cast of Florida Rat-agonists ride the fine line between fair and foul play and bump Woll every chance they get? Unfortunately Woll is not a poster boy for Injury Avoidance, and if Matt Murray has to come in the series is over. I expect lots of contact...smart thing to do....but how clean it is remains to be seen.

I read this and wondered who your #4 is, as Murray is in the exact same boat.

They're gonna test Woll in every way possible, including physically..... would you expect anything less? I don't. Will they go out of their way to injure him? No. Not in the playbook.

They all will have to play better tonight. Leafs were all over them, and Bob couldn’t bail them out of it. Usually they play much better after a crap fest game. They better be ready for Leafs right off the start tonight

First game back and Ekblad still sucks

Def a different Toronto team than we’ve seen in the past.

They actually remind me of last season Panthers.

Tonight was the Mathew the friendly ghost show

As a Leafs fan.....definitely not used to being on the happy side of the quick-response goal.

Tonight was the random guy showing up to point out a useless fact after the team he plays for won , just to get attention, but to also show how upset he is that the Leafs won.

I thought he was talking about Mathew Tkachuk

Womp womp either way

They’re not matching the Leafs’ fire.

Tkachuk can’t skate, isn’t getting involved much, maybe because his groin is shot.
They’re gonna have to play much better than they have these first two games.

Let’s go Panthers

I’m seeing that, too. Very impressive

Idk, if it’s Berube over douchey, whiny Keefe behind the bench, or maybe it’s my boy Stolie, or Lorentz*, not to forget OEL. (and Knies, I think he’s a hell of a player) but they are more likable now

*always wondered why he didn’t play more when a Panther, and still wonder why they didn’t want him back this year
