FLA
?Sergei Bobrovsky will start for the Panthers

TOR
?Ilya Samsonov will start for the Maple Leafs
?Nothing is official yet for defence pairings, but Gustafsson and Holl stayed together at practice on Saturday and both took part in speciality team drills too, which would normally indicate they'll be playing
?Confirmation on that and whether both Giordano and Liljegren will come out or if it'll just be one of them for an 11-7 line-up will come on Sunday

If they can manage to win this one then maybe they can sow some doubt in Bobrovsky.  If that happens a comeback is possible.  But man, blowing two at home to start a round is just inexcusable.
 
I would never wish any harm on anyone but just this once dear lord, could Bobrovsky please fall down a flight of stairs...LOL Just kidding.  GO LEAFS!!! 
 
In this playoffs the Leafs did:

- Stole a game when they were badly outplayed
- Got luck bounces their way
- Comeback from a 4-1 deficit with 10 min left to win it
- Advance to the 2nd round

On my exorcism bucket list still to go:
- Win a game when Wes McCauley is the referee
- Comeback after down 2-0 or 3-1
- Win a game 7
- Have a backup goalie out of nowhere (Woll) to play in a game and take the #1 from there to the cup final.

The hole is deep, but they need to climb it.

Before the game, Bunting receives 5 min major match penalty, misscounduct at 20:00 1st period. Kadri will serve a 7 game suspension for this major.

Just bloody win boys, Go Leafs Go!!!
 
Well definitely a must win. Not a fan of the D changes but something is needed. I'm more concerned about M&M. Time to show their worth. Simply amazing at times how they disappear. Actually wouldn't be opposed to giving Woll a start. Samsonov is pulling a Campbell and Andersen with giving up a weak goal almost every game.

What the hell are people thinking.  Even if he was cheating, this kind of shit will only make him cheat more. Not to mention the despicableness of the threats in the first place. 
 
I do thoroughly enjoy the disdain Bettman has for Canadian hockey fans.  6:30 Sunday games suck

I emphasize with you if you can't watch on a Sunday night, but honestly, Saturday nights are tough for me. Lots going on Saturdays nights in general. Sunday nights, not a lot going on for me.  Happy to watch hockey tonight.

I?d prefer an hour earlier, but I?ll take what I can get!
 
I think 2 series started 2-0 last round where the team down 2 came back to win. Leafs can do it.

Go to the blue paint!

Also, put Jarnkrok on the 3rd line with O'Reilly and Kerfoot with Nylander and Tavares.
 
If Gio actually sits, it was long overdue.  You can only be so loyal to a veteran dman who stopped moving his feet and cant deal with the forecheck.

Also looking to see if Tavares actually stays at centre this game or if they make adjustments and put him on wing with O'Reilly. If he has another start where constantly hemmed in own end by Tkachuk line, they are going to have to mix it up.

 
Not a fan of this lineup.  Putting Simmonds in is playing into the hands of Florida to start nonsense.  They aren't going to stop running guys when the refs and league don't do anything about it.

And Holl is going to have the same problem that Gio has.  His lack of speed on puck retrieval is going to get exposed. 

Not a fan in the least

I'm going to give Wayne the benefit of the doubt.  The 4th line hasn't done anything.  But if he takes an undisciplined penalty I'm gonna blow up.
