Half pigeon half rat.
This is crazy, I’m not used to losing after the last 2 years
Rhino & Carter … you guys have to show up SOON !
“Panthers are going to steamroll the Leafs” 😂😂😂😂
Marchand BELEAFS!!!!
I'm saying it now Marchand will be a Maple Leaf next season.
Please sign Marchand to the Leafs. I love this guy!
God damn that nose seems to keep growing!
That’s it man, game over man, game over!
Panthers don't have the energy that it takes to win like they did last year.
You're a great team… I'm sure you'll wake up at home… Fun hockey though isn't it…?
100% fraud – they have been outplayed!!
Screw Marchand – I don’t want him
Absolutely
Leafs hottest team goin into playoffs baby and it’s showing

Florida's trying SO hard to play dirty and cheat their way through to the next round. 🤣AIN'T HAPPENING!
Woll's a WALL!! Better team won! Anyone else smell a SWEEP!?
GO LEAFS GO!!! 💙🤍
Bye Bye Florida! Karma is a b*tch!
Florida has played 45 playoff games in the past two seasons. Now they are adding another 5 games + whatever for this series. That's a lot of extra hockey. That's an extra half season at playoff pace. It's going to wear them down a bit.
Last time Marchand faced this coach he was turned into a crying meme
DIRTY PANTHERS SUCK.GO LEAFS FROM A PROUD LIGHTNING FAN ,😂
Marchand 😂
I’m a Toronto fan… but Marchand has always been a very good player
Come to the Leafs next year Brad!!!!
Brad is in Florida to confirm they aren’t the same and that they are heavy back there and that it’s a really tough battle , good job Brad you passed grade 7
