Cats in 7. They’re finally playing at the level they should be at. Their PK did well against Bruins and they’ll need it against Leafs.idk about that, steamer. bruins scored 11 ppgs in 7 games against florida and their pp was 40.7%. their pp in the regular season was 22.2%. florida's off to a good start tonight at least.

bloody o'reilly one of 8 players left not to wear a visor.
anyhoo...hard to belief this panther team finished a point less than calgary.
from the goalie out, they were better in all phases of the game. quicker and hungrier.

Good start. Didn't let the Boston series get in their heads. Still need to stop with the dumb penalties early in games and in the offensive zone. Montour has been unreal in the playoffs, carrying his regular season over. And another GWG for Verhaeghe. In just a couple of seasons he now owns the Panthers record for playoff goals. Then there's Tkachuk who's got 14 points. Bobrovsky played big too, the 2 goals he allowed he had no chance on.
Onto game 2 Thursday. Need more of the same and they could come home up 2 games

Against the Bolts, I said the Leafs would not have won without lots of luck. Looks like luck deserted them tonight as just their play was not enough to carry them. It's either The Lucky Leafs; or The Losing Leafs.

Road teams have won 33 games so far in these playoffs. Last year's playoffs, road teams won 35 games total. Crazy.

There will plenty of Leafs fans at the home games. One way or another they will find a way. I believe a lot of Canada folks either have retired or are snowbirds in the state of Florida. for sure lots of retirees, but the snow birds have likely headed north by now. Precisedemundo. All the ones I know already be gone.

If leaves lose this one, it’s gonna be like kicking water uphill. This is probably as far as this squad goes. Oh well. At least leaves fans got to go to a game without a winter coat for once!!!

EVERY GOD DAMN GAME WITH EARLY PENALTIES. Really sick of seeing it. How stupid are the Panthers that they can't control themselves?

How stupid are the Panthers that they can't control themselves? among current playoff teams (before tonight), panthers with the most minors so far these playoffs at 36. on the other side the leafs have the least at 21. panthers 1.38 PPGs/G allowed also is tops.

Tied up. If Cats stay out of the box they have a good chance of taking the 2nd one in Toronto.

sub .900 goaltending will more than likely be enough to win this series.

i think they have to put in woll at some point soon because samsonov isn't going to get it done imo.

Nothing like a puck in the face! Up until this break it’s been quite the period. Good exciting playoff hockey!

lol, are the loafs alternating letters every game? Matthews had no letter on in Tampa when they won that series...

Toronta in a series of trouble here. They wanted Florida and now they’ve got them. Could be super quick series. That team just isn’t built for success. Tavares is the first one I point a finger at. He’s the captain and he doesn’t lead very well. They gotta get out from that contract. I believe only two years left. I trade him and Knies to dump him!!!

leafs with 3 wins already in florida this playoff year so there's that, but i think it will take a minor miracle for toronto to come back and win this one. the next game will tell the story.

Man, these Panthers are stressing me out. The early penalties, falling behind by 2 goals, then pulling the Panther out of the hat and pulling it out.
Now 2 days off before they come back home Sunday. PLEASE STAY OUT OF THE PENALTY BOX for at least the first 10 minutes. Do that, get a lead, and Toronto will start squeezing the sawdust out of their sticks.

Interesting post game comments by Paul Maurice while talking to the Panthers broadcast team. When asked what it means to be up 2 - 0 he said they've put themselves in a good position to get to a game 7. Not sure I've ever heard a coach say that after winning the first 2 in a series.

Florida's half way to helping the Hawks move up to 19, looks better than 20.
