Leafs should activate Reaves to be put on the 4th line. Send him out to do his best Scott Stevens impersonation.
Panthers may be favourites to win the series but the Leafs have just as good a chance. The one major advantage Florida has is their third line with Lundell and Marchand. If the Leafs' third line (whichever line Berube decides to match up against them) can't outplay them, or at the very least contain them, that will tip the scales enough for Florida to take the series. If the Leafs' counter to Lundell's line fail, they're going to need either Matthews and/or Tavares' lines to go god-mode and have them make enough of an impact that Florida's third line advantage becomes irrelevant.
Im a diehard Leafs fan with the Passion!!! Panthers in 6.
Of course we're picking the Leafs! When the Leafs played the Canadiens in the late 70s did we pick the Canadiens because we knew they were going to win? No, we picked the Leafs because we wanted them to win!
One thing I'll say is. Carter Verswaggy has started to pick up. When he finds his game in the playoffs, he is one of the most clutch playoff goal scorers of all time.
So disappointed in you steve leafs in 7 how could you not say that😢
I'm having a hard time seeing how the Leafs could win this series. The only way I see them winning is if they dominate on special teams. They need to take advantage of Florida being undisciplined and actually score on the power play, something Tampa failed to do, and they need to be practically flawless on the penalty kill. Both of these are very unlikely to happen.
Cats sweep 🧹
I feel like people misremember that 2023 series against the Panthers. The Leafs dominated the shots and possession but Bob was insane. He also stole the Carolina series after that for them. After that run the Panthers really became what they are now as they learned playoff hockey. Despite being outplayed they knew how to defend, what types of chances to get and yes – how to bully their opponents.
Leafs are way too soft, Cats sleeps the series, Austin will make his loser face
The Leafs can’t use the same 3rd line against Ottawa against Florida . Florida has the best 3rd line in league . Marchand is on it too. Likely going to put kampf in
Knies matthews marner
Nylander tavares mcmann
Domi kampf holmberg
Lorentz Laughton jarnkrook/Robertson
Leafs in 7 or panthers in 6.
I feel like woll will be playing this series…the panthers know stolarz pretty well and will exploit that and woll plays extremely well in the playoffs…leafs in 6…
shame on. you Steve for taking Florida
The series will go 7 games and the winner will be whoever lost game 1. Also, sell Microsoft stock
Doesnt matter none of this matters. GO LEAFS GO. New year take to the panthers play them man for man check for check, keep your heads straight. And punish the panthers at their own game.
only chance the leafs have is if bob gets hurt , i'm calling the d core a wash , the cats can roll 4 quality lines where as the leafs at best have only 3 , cats in 6 {maybe 5} y'all know marner's wife is expecting any day now right , like to see him try and block out that outside noise lol
I don’t see us winning (not that there’s not a chance) but I just hope it goes more than 5 games like last time
Panthers in 5. Calling it now
Barkov being underrated is such a 2018 thing. The most complete hockey player.
How dare you guys lol my hope is Toronto in 7… but we’ll see
Leafs margin for error is literally zero if the core 4 falter this series won’t last
And he took out the top team in rd 3 last year – NY!
Leafs in 6/7
Panthers in 4? Leaf defeatism lives!!!
The Leafs have no chance against a real team like Florida…. Florida in 5
Leafs in 6. Thank me later for the advice!!!!
You do NOT want to slow the series down against the Panthers 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 we will grind you guys into dust in a slow, low scoring style game. Not to mention a sniper like Reinhardt absolutely FEASTS in games like that.
Game one, Panthers absolutely destroy the leafs.
leafs in 7
I no longer respect Steve 😂
I don't like watching you guys because I always listen on the podcast and Jesse and Adam don't look how I envision them when I hear them talk in my brain vision. So it throws me right off LOL. and yes I've seen photos of them all before but when I'm driving to work listening I picture them different for some reason.
🍁's in 4
TRULY fans 💪🏽

Florida in 5
I think people are leaning far too much on the past. Remember we finished 10 points ahead of Florida this season.
