Go cats go
Cant stand this smug prick…would love to see Berube smash him.
…. "I will Coach , and let the Referees , Reff " … and then complains to the Refs all game
hypocrite … coach of a team of Gooons …. lost all credibility …. full of it
Paul Maurice is a f**** sniveler. His whole team is nothing but f*** animals and the n h l selecting m v what a disgrace
maurice so annoying marchant got whole team of rats to play with
Always learn something from this coach. Very likeable and listens carefully, thinks through each question before responding…
Leafs scored 3 goals on themselves. The was a big help to the Panthers.
7 min on a win 2.5 on a loss, just be honest you got the bounces you needed.
Why when the leaf players are interviewed they talk about how good Bennett is instead of Cursing him ??? they are told to stay quiet from the league so take it and shut up form the league .A little like the American Apac shut up or lose your Job ,Sorry US Canada would never want to join the US Dirty Cheap shot artist Country, Betman Netanhyahoo what good presidents you have . HA HA
GG's, your grasping. one good save away from being down 3-0. your toast. leafs in 5 back home
The Panthers are a group of Bullies . They don't win by skill they win by beating the. Crap out of their opponents . Is it any wonder they are hated by so many teams
LEAFS BEAT THEM SELF 44 GOT A HAT TRICK WHAT A BOZO
The fourth line looked really good. Never want to see Bovqist skating again lol. Resign Marchy immediately.
Could we just have ONE game where the Leafs don't score in the first 3 minutes?
Panthers got 3 cheesy goals including in OT
Maurice said his team wins with D. Get 3 goals is almost an auto win. So the focus from Game 3 on was supposed to be D and preventing too many Leafs rushes. But Leafs get 4 again and had same transition rushes. Unless Cats D game does show up, I cannot see them winnng with exception of puck luck.
Not a fan of either team but Cats still not playing their D style is not a good sign. 0 adjustments. Maurice myst get his team better organized. Nothing but a W to be smiling about. Everything else going in Leafs advantage and that cannot win a series.
Both goalies look shaky in this series.
But Woll almost got scored by Lundell trying to play the puck off the board that wind up scurrying between his legs . Woll’s defenseman saved his arse . Woll reminds me of Stu Skinner from the Edmonton Oilers. A complete Goof
Fact is the smaller Woll is not as big as Stolarz so those high deflections sneak in above his shoulders in the crease. With Stolarz those shots are blocked.
MAPLE LEAFS SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Maurice, you genius! We have you two games down, down 2 nothing and our goofball defenseman decides to help Barkov score on our affable goalie! Don't get too high on yourself or your goon, has been team! I feel for Craig! He had you down and out! 😊
Mr. Maurice you are the best in the business best wishes from Calgary. Alberta Canada. I have been a Panther fan from from day one and everyone laughed at me. They don't laugh now.
