“Florida in 5” 😂
The flaws are still clearly there with Matthews and Marner not scoring many goals. I know Marner had the goal tonight but that’s only his second of the playoffs. Matthews is straight up not playing well.
But the cards are in their favor right now. Not just in the series but in health. Good news for them is that unlike florida they’re not really banged up or fatigued.
Their big key is the defense and goaltending. They never had that in any of the keefe years. They do not win either game 1 or 2 with any of the previous rosters.
Defensively Matthews has been fine. He is not contributing on the offensive end, but when you score 5 and 4, without him so be it. What is going to hurt them, is him taking half ice shots at an empty net and missing when you’re up by one and the Panthers players are two minutes into a shift. Freaking skate it up or hold on to it but for the love of god don’t shoot from your side of center ice.
Or Babcock.
or Carlysle.
or Wilson.
or Maurice.
Crazy what happens when you have better defence.
First time since 1963 the leafs have had two 2-0 series leads in the same playoffs as well
Can’t believe I’m about to witness both the Leafs and the Knicks make the conference finals
Not a leafs fan, but hope they beat florida
Blues fan here, playoffs sting this year but still rooting for Berube and the Leafs!
Tre deserves credit too for the players he has brought in. But obviously Chief has been incredibly important in getting the team playing the right way.
Tanev is just the player we needed for so long
If they play like the way they did in the third period much again, they’ll never win anything.
Wretched third period – absolutely no clue in their own end.
Lucky to win.
Not trying to take anything away from Bérubé here, but this team is also the best, most complete team the leafs have had since the Sundin days… or arguably the Gilmour days. Or arguably ever in my lifespan.
I have no skin in this series but would like to see Toronto get thru another round, hell even make it to the finals. Too much talent on that team to get tossed out in the first round like they’re used to. Berube has def been a positive influence on them.
Go Leafs
Go Tanev
I have so much gratitude for that man.
Don’t put this all on Keefe, this roster has been flawed for years.
