Well, this was going to be a tough hill for Toronto to climb and the Panthers shut down the comeback dreams tonight in overtime.

Florida has a balanced team, you can say that Maurice's squads hammer people, but they play well on decisive hours. 7 wins in the last 8 games.
Meanwhile, Toronto relies on 4 players. When they play, it's great. When they don't play well, they don't win. They did not show up this series
Marner most overrated player in league. Tavares should be arrested for robbery with that contract. Matthews is going to go to Arizona or LA shortly. Panthers might be in the finals with that edge they play with (although Iāll be rooting for the canes)
Wow 3 Staal brothers in next round who does Mom cheer for?
Carolina and Florida should be a fantastic series! So where did Matthews from Toronto Maple Leafs disappear to during this series?
If youāre a Leafs fan reading this
HAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA
To quote Ted Lasso – Toronto is the hope that kills! Florida isn't the team we wanted, but they are the team we needed. Great series.
I think when the Leafs injury report comes out weāre going to see Matthews name on there.
An effortless game for florida. This series was too easy
To Blow up or not to blow up? That is the question leafs will ask
šIt's all good now. Had the Leafs beat the Panthers that 1st round loss would have stung even more.
Leafs left it all on the ice. That team gave everything it had. Florida is just betterā¦$10 ML man played absolutely possessed, reminded of Hasek/Brodeur/Roy days when goalies faced a lot of rubber, Giguere/Luongo were like that too, different era.
Barkov and Tkachuk are what Marner and Matthews will never beā¦a powerful imposing presence, in the thick of things, taking the game to and ramming it down their opponentsā throats. Pretty hockey vs. powerful hockey, which would you rather have? Bennett, Verhaeghe, Reinhart, Lundell, Duclairā¦sounds like depth to me, very good depth. The defense with Ekblad, Montour, Forsling, Mahura, Staal and Gudas the hitting machineā¦all Iām saying is what does this team look like? It looks like aā¦.no I wonāt say it, to jinx it.
If you look at history, the less rested teams do better in the playoffs. If history continues, then the west will be winning the Stanley Cup.
Letās go CANES from a Devils fan living in Florida š
It'll be interesting to see Marc & Eric vs. Jordan in the Conference Finals.
Don't get why Leaf fans are so upset. After they finally got out of the 1st round, they didn't scream "WE WANT THE CUP!" like most normal fans, they simply wanted to play Florida. Well, they got what they wanted. Win win for all!
Did Florida cry about it being dangerous and leave the ice during the ice getting littered? I doubt it. Like the Leafs did during that game in Jersey during the regular season. Leafs are deserve this fate for being crybabies.
I was really hoping, now that Jake McCabe finally got to see some post-season action, it would be a lot longer than this. It's still more than he would have seen in Chicago, though.
Exciting game … If you look closely at the game winning goal … which should have disallowed with a penalty against Florida! Florida's Radko Gudas was holding the stick of Leaf's Calle Jarnkrok before winning puck was shot in! Officials missed it!
That last sequence summed up why the Leafs donāt win. Atrocious defense. Look at how Fla defended a 3 on 2 immediately before compared to how Toronto did.
