Playoffs Round 2: Panthers vs. Maple Leafs

Always good to have that tailor-made excuse ready even before the series starts! Matthews already had his (whatever injury he is dealing with), now Marner has his.

Hopefully they won't need to use them.

They're people, it's not an excuse. Things happen in your life which make you not able to play at 100%. They aren't robots.

OK Sheldon.

I know in general, winning game 1 is usually pretty important in a series, but it seems even more important in this one. It'll be a tough slog for the Leafs if they get down in the series right away.

I could get used to these 2-0 series leads.

I would like to get used to 3-0 series leads...

I started a goal tracker for this series as well, and wouldn't you know it: 9 goals in two games

• Core 4 in on 6 goals
• 5 counter rush goals
• Two very weak goals on Bob from the Leafs 1st line
• Nylander with 3G 1A; Pacioretty with 1G 3A to lead scoring
• Leafs Defense picked up 10 pts so far in two games; they had 7 pts against Ottawa in 6, which gives you an indication of what type of offense is succeeding this time around
