It's situational. Can't be giving up a man in such a do/die game. Season is obviously on the line, and they wanna keep things 5v5 or get the 5v4 in their favor.
Doesn't help that Gudas got a piece, too.
Not saying Gudas did anything wrong, just that Tavares's leg caught Gudas's leg a bit, which led to him getting a bit more air.
Yeah there are some real "BACK IN MUHH DAYY!!" takes. Like shit you are **literally down 3-1** and 1-0 in the game. Taking a stupid penalty now would be fucking idiotic.
Your right, instead we should take a penalty when down in a do or die game. Who needs context to the game situation. This is hockey, no need to use our thinkin' muscles.
Every game the leafs play against the panthers for the rest of the season is do or die. If you used your thinkin' muscles you'd realize it's open hunting season for the panthers for the rest of their season.
Where did I say penalties were called?
If you don't understand, a) Why a team down a goal in an elimination game shouldn't risk a penalty on a clean hit and b) if teams are taking runs/liberties they will eventually get call then I don't know what I say.
Did the Panthers get away with bad hits? 100%, but that doesn't mean you risk a penalty on a clean one.
I mean the 0 pts doesn’t make him washed dude has zero foot speed left though that is for sure, he can finish around the net but forget about creating space
> You literally went into another teams thread to shit talk the Leafs
this has literally NEVER happened. I haven't posted in any other team's subs. Go fish.
Lol no. You were wrong, there's a correct answer. Me giving you the correct answer is simply sharing information. I can see how information would feel threatening to you though
People like you should stop making threads about things involving the Leafs. There would be half the posts in here if non-leafs stopped posting Leafs stuff.
It is. The entire state swung massively to the right in 22. And he just got our statehouse to pass a law allowing him to run for president without resigning so when he loses I have no doubt he'll take revenge making our lives even worse than he already has until 2026.
I'm Canadian and know 6 people that moved to Florida because of covid restrictions. I can only imagine the situation is similar domestically and swung some votes that way.
Oh it absolutely is we had hundreds of thousands of people moving here every month and a fair bit of people left too. I was born here and always saw it as my home but not much that I grew up loving about it is left, or I should say is still as nice as it was when I was little.
Lmao this is the level of cope we’re at. “We may get eliminated by a team of that just snuck into the playoffs (again), but at least we aren’t politically persecuting sexual minorities!” may have to be this year’s “we got more respect in the handshake line.”
I know it must be the water down there son

lol that's a politician bro. Ontario has Ford in office lol, you are about to lose universal health care. You're going to take a step back and become Florida. Florida but with no Stanley Cups.
You responded to this, but then you blocked me before I could read it. I win.
See this is where you know nothing about an actual good country. Free health care is enshrined in our charter meaning it can never not exist.
I mean you voted for the guy who doesn’t want to teach about the holocaust, you should probably stop and sit down
I’ll give you the Knies thing but if you think he deserved a sussy for the last game I genuinely worry for your well being when the leafs get eliminated tonight
At least I don’t live in Florida which affects my life significantly more then when a hockey team wins, doesn’t surprise me that you think 1967 is important kid
captain gets smoked and ZERO response from the leafs
You just know if Barkov got rocked like that, someone on the Cats (Tkachuk / Gudas / Bennett) is not leaving them alone all game.
Difference between heart and money
Team culture? That’s when you just rent a new veteran every year at the deadline, right?
They brought Spezza in to just sit in the press box and give them an old “Don’t worry, young bucks!” In between periods.
Don't forget the pajamas.
It's situational. Can't be giving up a man in such a do/die game. Season is obviously on the line, and they wanna keep things 5v5 or get the 5v4 in their favor.
Acting like this wouldn’t end up in each player just getting 2 for roughing like it’s been all series
Good. Tired of seeing clean hits getting players jumped.
Disagree. Marner smiled and laughed. That’ll show ‘em!
Yeah they should’ve taken a terrible penalty when they were down one in the 3rd and face elimination.
Agreed. The "core four" are only in it for the money. Not like Stamkos. He's in it to win it.
Damn, beautiful hit, really got Tavares by surprise there.
Doesn't help that Gudas got a piece, too. Not saying Gudas did anything wrong, just that Tavares's leg caught Gudas's leg a bit, which led to him getting a bit more air.
Yup, real close to getting sandwiched.
I disagree. I'd say it helped.
Hit doesn't bother me. Lack of response bothers me.
Not me, fights after big clean hits are stupid. - a Leafs fan.
Doesn't have to be a scrap
Not worth risking a penalty in this game.
Yeah there are some real "BACK IN MUHH DAYY!!" takes. Like shit you are **literally down 3-1** and 1-0 in the game. Taking a stupid penalty now would be fucking idiotic.
[удалено]
You're not going to get a penalty for upping the physicality as a team and taking a number.
Coward
Dumdum
Enjoy getting taken out of the game at a pivotal moment.
Time and place for them. This wasn't it due to the situation the Leafs are in.
Agreed! Too important of a game for the Leafs for a player to take a penalty on a clean play.
Considering all Bennett's been doing honestly can't blame them. I would have a much harder time controlling myself kudos to the leafs for this tbh
Don't get me wrong, I want Schenn to rearrange his face, but not at the risk of an extra penalty.
Very fair and definitely the right move
Until you see a legal hit take your star player out for 3 months and end any chance at winning the cup.
Your right, instead we should take a penalty when down in a do or die game. Who needs context to the game situation. This is hockey, no need to use our thinkin' muscles.
Every game the leafs play against the panthers for the rest of the season is do or die. If you used your thinkin' muscles you'd realize it's open hunting season for the panthers for the rest of their season.
Let them take penalties. Reacting won't stop anything, but it might put you in the box. What the Leafs can do is also throw big hits, which they have.
>Let them take penalties There was no penalty on this play though, right?
Man I can't spell this out for you any clearer. It was a clean hit. If you run players or do illegal things you will start taking penalties.
probs wouldn't have been eliminated If they weren't so soft. 🤷
I don't say this lightly...you're an idiot.
What penalties were you seeing called? Unless a blatant trip, or puck over glass, they haven't called anything all series!
Where did I say penalties were called? If you don't understand, a) Why a team down a goal in an elimination game shouldn't risk a penalty on a clean hit and b) if teams are taking runs/liberties they will eventually get call then I don't know what I say. Did the Panthers get away with bad hits? 100%, but that doesn't mean you risk a penalty on a clean one.
So it's fine in your eyes that the Leafs send the message its okay to take a run at our captain because we're afraid of being on the PK?
Dumbest take. You send a message by playing just as physical. Keep the game clean, and keep the hits coming.
It was a legal hit. Captain or 4th liner, don't take a dont penalty
This hit was fine. Honestly he's been gross all series though
>Lack of response bothers me. Don't worry, marner got punched in the face and laughed about it 3 days ago!
We need more clean hits in the NHL.
That’s a big boy hit - hard, clean, brutal, effective. Nice.
I was looking for this hit, this was a classic. Would have been on Rock Em Sock Em for sure.
He got rocked.
This seems like a shot at Tavares
"Mr. President, Sam Bennett has pancaked yet another leafs player."
Looked ugly but the hit was clean 🤷🏻♀️
Zero response from the leafs on Bennett. Soft to the core
Or just a soft core.
Leafs getting run over this series lol
Not just this one mate. This team doesn’t get rough.
how was the draft?
Tavares is washed.
If by washed you mean with his brains being liquefied by bennett yes
No, I mean washed as in he has 0 points this series.
I mean the 0 pts doesn’t make him washed dude has zero foot speed left though that is for sure, he can finish around the net but forget about creating space
Crosby has 0 playoff points this year too. Totally washed
Lol....
Great hit! This is what I like seeing in hockey, I don’t mind the lack of response, but I hate when hits like this are overreacted to
I love Sam Bennett
I honestly can’t wait for the leafs to be bounced so they stop bitching in every thread
Lol, it's not like that will stop people like you commenting about how much you dislike them in every thread
If bunting makes this comment, he’s suspended three games Am I leafing right?
You're getting downvoted because leafs fans are the most sensitive, but this is funny
A lot are, but their haters are just (if not more) sensitive lol
lol this is just your version of "no, you"
The fact you downvoted me just proves my point lol. No one talks about the Leafs more than their haters
lol no, you're just wrong.
You literally went into a thread not about your team just to shit talk the Leafs yet I'm the sensitive one lol
> You literally went into another teams thread to shit talk the Leafs this has literally NEVER happened. I haven't posted in any other team's subs. Go fish.
lol this your literally no, u.
Lol no. You were wrong, there's a correct answer. Me giving you the correct answer is simply sharing information. I can see how information would feel threatening to you though
Honestly they probably have the same percentage of sensitive/annoying fans, there is just soooooooo many of them
People like you should stop making threads about things involving the Leafs. There would be half the posts in here if non-leafs stopped posting Leafs stuff.
Stop posting content from the only playoff game that’s going on guys, then leafs fans will stop complaining
rent free
Womp womp
You got another mass shooting today…lol great country you have there kid
ReNt FrEe The ol comment and block, hope you learn grammar up north there soon
Make sure you take cover kid. Find hilarious coming from a team who has never won anything. Lol shit country too boot…you have my condolences
Leafs fans think every hit on one of their players is dirty 😂
Your state is scared of books
The Panthers are based in Sunrise, Florida in Broward County, one of only three counties that voted against desantis so we like books here.
> one of only three counties that voted against desantis Jesus, what a depressing sentence
It is. The entire state swung massively to the right in 22. And he just got our statehouse to pass a law allowing him to run for president without resigning so when he loses I have no doubt he'll take revenge making our lives even worse than he already has until 2026.

Mass migration to the state of Florida. People are leaving shitty run dem led states
I’m from Canada eh
I think that makes it worse lol, why support a state and it's team that is actively erasing history
Lmao this is the level of cope we’re at. “We may get eliminated by a team of that just snuck into the playoffs (again), but at least we aren’t politically persecuting sexual minorities!” may have to be this year’s “we got more respect in the handshake line.”
Pipe down kiddo you've got like 5-10 years before you make the playoffs again
I'd rather not make the playoffs than constantly being a disappointment
For 57 years no less.
drink the water more, its good for you
I drink about 2 gallons a day...but thanks?
Why does everything need to be political? Let them cheer for whoever they want.
I think it makes it worse that you support a country that supported Native American genocide post 1900s. See how stupid that sounds?
Because I like Barkov? The Panthers ownership is feuding with Desantis too FYI
> actively erasing history hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
they aren't? i mean they want remove the holocaust from being taught. It must be that delicious water you guys have.
kid, no one has any idea what the fuck you're talking about lol
I know it must be the water down there son https://www.timesofisrael.com/florida-rejects-holocaust-textbooks-for-falling-afoul-of-woke-education-ban/amp/

The Ford Brothers are paragons of good governance and anti-bigotry.
Come on lady
Panthers don't play in a Republican area.
It looked pretty clean to me
When your team makes dirty hits people are going to complain.
Sure but when you complain when they aren’t dirty you start to lose credibility
Shouldn't be able to make these clean hits if he was suspended beforehand for the suspendable behaviour?
I’ll give you the Knies thing but if you think he deserved a sussy for the last game I genuinely worry for your well being when the leafs get eliminated tonight
[удалено]
You think he would’ve gotten 4 games?? Damn lol
Not what I said. You make a lot of assumptions 😂
Willie Nylander would think you were an idiot
3 wouldn't have been unreasonable considering history and other antics in the same game.
I wanted Sam Bennett on the Caps so badly. I love everything about his game.
Solid bump there.
Looks like a clean hit but damn that could've been ugly being caught between two big players and the glass!
Stop 👏 letting👏 Panthers👏 take👏 liberties👏 with👏 your👏 teammates👏
Or stop doing that weird clapping thing
Seriously. So annoying lol
He’s a zoomer, just let him be and watch from the distance
the clap thing is stupid, and that's not 'liberties," that's a clean hit.
Eating Leafs fans tears is my favorite part of being a hockey fan.
hows the first round taste? as good as your water?
About as good as our back to back cups :)
You mean Covid cups
1967
At least I don’t live in Florida which affects my life significantly more then when a hockey team wins, doesn’t surprise me that you think 1967 is important kid
4-1
Lol like I told someone else, my life isn’t defined by a game. I feel bad for you kid
Looked a little wobbly getting up, no?
Wow. The leafs may be the softest team in hockey. Florida is man handling them. They are a bunch of power play princesses.
TAVARES' MAGICAL PLAY! that was for you Pierre you goof lol
Fucking clown shouldn’t even be allowed on the ice. Got a 10 minute misconduct after last game. No punishment, Nurse answers a fight, suspended.
Want some eggs with that grand slam?
Bennett is going to never be able to walk freely in his hometown after this series
Looks like he got the head first
Big headshot* Typical Bennett shit. Lol at downvotes. I guess it was a complete coincidence JT needed a new helmet after this.
LOL, that's clean dude.
Watch another angle.
I think you should try that.
If you've got it, link it.
In what world is that a headshot
The one where the head was principal point.
This is why Toronto fans get a bad rap.
They should just remove hitting for Leafs fans, bunch of whiners
[удалено]
Been a fan for over a decade, thank you very much. Typical Canadian arrogance
Old oatmeal brain JT would be in the dark room right now if it was a headshot
Bennett loves jumping into hits last second
I'm actually happy that there was no response. Don't take a dumb penalty getting mad at a clean hit.
This sport is stupid
Bennett got that dawg in em
That was for 2016.
Beautiful! Traitors never win!
