Matt Ross: ROUND 2, GAME 4

Pivotal game.

Panthers aren’t as scary as they were the last few years.

Go Leafs Go!

Go Leafs Go!

They're plenty scary enough, maybe more so with Leaf killer Marchand joining their battalion. They will not be going out like a fart in the wind.

Panthers have to play better tonight and even this series up



They played very much better tonight.

Maurice said pregame that they were just starting to get to their game....
sounded like coachspeak hooey, but that’s exactly what that was tonight.
Panthers looked good

Florida just needs to stick to their game plan. It's worked well for them over the last 4 years. Hit hard. Aim high, or for the numbers. Keep the elbows up. Trust in the strong American dollar that the league will continue to favour American markets, and call the game accordingly. Worked for Boston, and has worked for Florida.
Imagine if Bennett was a Leafs. He'd be tossed from the league.
"Leafs well no doubt come out hard." Easilly countered. Toronto penalty. Toronto penalty. Toronto penalty. Toronto penalty. This easily leads to a Florida goal and completely eliminates any hope of momentum for Toronto. It also makes them feel like their skating on eggshells. They're afraid to throws a hit or be too aggressive because it could land them in the box. Florida on the other hand, the get to play by the American-market rule book. No worries. elbows up, aim high, a little hop, and aim for the numbers. All good. Player safety? Not when you're playing the Canadian markets. Do what you must to win, the league will sort out the rest.
Toronto, though, they'll strictly enforce those non-dangerous calls like interference, tripping, hooking, they'll even imagine a cross-check from Domi and Carlo.
Carlo! Hahaha! He's finding out he isn't in Boston anymore. The rule book has changed. Poor guy.
Can you image Winnipeg, Edmonton and Toronto all winning their round 2 series? The league sure can, and they're taking steps to prevent it.

Thankfully not all Canadians are this dumb.

Best of 3, the Leafs have home ice advantage. This has been a great series to watch, so far. Every game so far has been closely contested, down to the end excitement. (Even last night with 2 goal lead late, it never felt like the Panthers lead was safe)

Wish we didn’t have to wait two days before the next game.
