Is it good to score in your first shot on goal?

Two would have been better than the ping. Be more like Lafferty, Auston.

Also have a strong feeling that Holl/Gustafsson have at least one hilarious play in them each.

So Keefe definitely practiced these hard rims around on the off day and I cannot imagine a worse strategy for clearing the zone against this Panthers team. Like, it’s exactly what they want.

Mitch should probably stop playing so stupid (also whoever he passed it to who just threw the puck away to the Panther at the point under no pressure).

Nice to see Holl back taking hopeless point shots that are easily blocked and cause an odd man rush against.

I’ve been on team Mitch Marner is a Headcase for a while now but his decisions with the puck right now are pretty shocking even to his usual standard

Hey now, he had one good defensive play at some point.

Toronto is rolling with 11-7 right now so maybe they won’t play him too much?

Watching Florida with the puck in the offensive zone actually move guys to the net and pressure defenders while the Leafs are playing their usual game of getting the puck in the corner and not even looking into the slot really reinforces to me that Sheldon Keefe hasn’t learned a drat thing

I think you'll find he's learned a thing or two about respect in those handshake lines over the years

I'm pleasantly surprised how reasonably competent Schenn has looked, and if it allows Rielly to play better whatever the hell ever.

Matthews used to be able to shut down McDavid pretty well.

He'll probably be on the PK and play more than Gustafsson unless the Leafs get PP2 on a lot more than usual.

Easily Florida’s best period of the series so far, confirming the trend in Leafs games that the best way to get a lead is be worse than the other guys

Precambrian Video Games

That was a pretty dull period and I won't say I expected the Leafs to come out stronger but it would have been nice. Surely the Panthers won't keep up the low energy all game.

Also I could swear I saw Marner make a blind spinaround backhand pass from the boards to the slot. In his own zone.

In terms of what, possession? They didn't exactly get many prime scoring chances.

I it’s the first period since G1 P1 they’ve outshot the Leafs and unlike that game they’re ahead on the exgees too. The shot chart disagrees with you on their chances, they had more in close than the Leafs did.

I dunno man I saw Florida get more actual shots through and more from good spots than the Leafs did and I’m looking at a tracker that agrees with me

From what I recall the two Florida had from their left wing were at a pretty sharp angle and not nearly as dangerous as their proximity to the net would suggest.

I mean looking at moneypuck they rate a Leafs shot from nearly along the goal line as the most dangerous chance ahead of Lafferty's goal and Matthews' post, so...
