Eastern Conference Second Round: (2) Toronto Maple Leafs vs (WC2) Florida Panthers

[2014olympicgold]

Sam Lafferty will replace ZAR in the lineup for Game 2.

Lafferty plays a bit faster than ZAR, and will allow Kerfoot to shift to the left side.

Panthers have no lineup changes:
Verhaeghe-Barkov-Duclair
Cousins-Bennett-Tkachuk
Luostarinen-Lundell-Reinhart
White-Staal-Dalpe

Forsling-Ekblad
Staal-Montour
Mahura-Gudas

Bobrovsky to start.

The refs tonight, their last night they reffed was the Avs vs Seattle game 7. 1 powerplay given in that game.

I wouldn't bet on Powerplay points tonight.

On my way to my first ever playoff game!

Go Leafs Go!

Leafs dominating so far... Bringing Lafferty in is looking good.

I’m just sitting here watching and thinking what if Florida had an above average goalie. They’d be crazy dangerous.

[1320kid]

Ya kinda like that. Damn!

Less than a minute decided this game.

Not your typical Leafs choke job so far. But a choke job nonetheless.

[Feenom]

Once again, couldn’t beat Bob. That game got away from them but very winnable. Great start but lapses are killing them. Tavares alone had like 10 chances. Great game by Bob. Earning that contract.

[Invictus]

Night and Day between 1st and 2nd periods...

Bright side for the Leafs is the next two games are on the road.

[TrailerParkFlyers]

If I was Paul Maurice I would play the 'we want Florida' Leafs' fans chant before every game.

[blayze]

It was all a dream...

I dont know what it is about Samsonov. I cant say I watched a lot of Capitals games over the years and I've seen him a fair amount in Toronto this year but man he looks clumsy and unorthodox in nets so far in the playoffs. It's like he's fighting to play a quiet game. Scrambly, sloppy, whatever adjectives you want to use. At times he's made some great saves but more often than not he's looked off.

Toronto can easily come back and make this a series but right now, they are in trouble. They desperately need to win this next game or it's over.

He looks hurt. He's been doing this "wounded soldier" thing since like the final week of the regular season. But it's hard to tell because his issue in Washington was that he was an athletic goalie that overplayed when things got out of hand, so he was scrambly.

Whenever he takes a shot high and it hits him in the shoulder, it's like a "scramble button" and he's not the same for like 10minutes.
