I was at the game and it was perhaps even more one-sided than TV showed.
The Panthers speed against some of the Leafs defence (especially Hunwick and Phaneuf) was particularly evident.
Reimer was really hung out to dry, but the last goal was Raycroftian.
I did see some of the Leafs players' fathers in the intermission, and they seemed a rather classy/proud group of parents. (I am not sure if they will go out amongst the masses in the intermission in the game against Tampa Bay, though).
I think that Bozak was virtually invisible tonight, and has been for the past couple of weeks or so.
The turning point in the momentum in the game was at the start of the 2nd period when Phaneuf took the boarding call. It was against the Panthers' fourth line. It had nothing to do with the play. And the goal that the Panthers got on the power play set the tone for the rest of the game, IMHO.
The defence pairing of Reilly and Hunwick should be broken up. They don't seem to move the puck particularly well.
This is the end of mainly random observations without much consistency. (Perhaps like Simmons?)
