Game Notes​

FLA -Sergei Bobrovsky will likely start for the Panthers

TOR -Joseph Woll will likely start for the Leafs -Obviously the big story for Wednesday's line-up will be who is in net. Berube didn't completely rule out Stolarz starting but that seems incredibly unlikely at this point

Lost in all the Bennett crap is the fact that the Panthers didn't seem at all invincible yesterday.

They have a good PK and a good PP, but they are distinctly average at 5v5, if the Leafs play to their strengths I still think Leafs in 5.

Bennett claims to have called Stolie, they are friends and all is good, Stolie listed as a maybe for tonight, I think he sits for precaution, but it looks like it was all a big nothing. (sarcasm) Seriously though we outplayed them from the puck drop, they had a little pushback in the third that we weathered and scored a critical goal, we didn't collapse, if we keep it up we can beat these guys. GO LEAFS!!

Leafs need to start scoring on the PP. Florida is dirty and will continue to take penalties and try to injure Leafs players. The list of injured Lightning players at the end of the first round was quite alarming. The league really needs to crack down harder on this.

The best way to stop Florida from playing dirty is to score on the power play.

Go Leafs Go!

Score Matthews Score!

How can Stolarz be available after throwing up, a telltale sign of a concussion. Hopefully he's not pushing to play when he really shouldn't be.

Woll can handle it. Go Leafs Go!!!

I'd expect it'd probably just be gamesmanship from the Leafs side. 'Maybe he'll play' when they internally know he's not going to dress tonight.

Maybe he double fisted some stankdog street meat on the way to the rink.

GLG!

Leafs have played 6 good games out of 7 this post season.

Woll was a .946 last playoffs.

GLG!

I think he will be solid. Coming in cold without a warmup may have had something to do with it, though he made the saves he had to in the 2nd period.

Their main offensive weapons (Tkachuk, Verhaeghe, Reinhart) are mostly injured. Staying out of the box, and not farting around on our own PP opportunities will swing the series in the Leafs’ favour.

Obviously I certainly hope it doesn't come to this but I'm glad Murray's getting the nod for back-up here.

 

[Frank E]

Oof.

Good news on the Stolarz front

Murray is the smart choice for backup. Hildeby did not look good in his NHL games this year.

I'm not sure that Berube saying Stolarz is doing good is much of anything. Guys have been day to day all year who went on to miss most of the season.

I wouldn't conclude that. For all we know, he could be done for the playoffs.

I think we can rule out illness, and the fact that he puked after head contact confirms a head injury.
