That's too bad... as far as the "former hockey player who is sorta dumb" category went he was pretty good entertainmentLooks like Jeff O'Neill got fired from tsn. Officially "on leave" but his twitter profile suggests he's donezo.
Against Florida, Our forwards will have more room to make plays and will get more space and time to release shots.it wasn’t just the forecheck, it was the NZ defense. Once the Leafs got past the forecheck there were 3 guys back forcing them to dump and chase and preventing the Leafs from gaining the zone with possession and creating zone time.
the forecheck was only half the equation. Florida is good, but not Tampa.
The Leafs should be able to create more ozone time against the Panthers.
TSN fires him just 2 days after The leafs finally win a playoff roundLooks like Jeff O'Neill got fired from tsn. Officially "on leave" but his twitter profile suggests he's donezo.
But TSN is in the entertainment business, so they prefer boring anonymous commentators.That's too bad... as far as the "former hockey player who is sorta dumb" category went he was pretty good entertainment

I see Florida as sort of a B version of the Leafs.Against Florida, Our forwards will have more room to make plays and will get more space and time to release shots.
Panthers are a high energy, physical and offense-first team that take risks defensively and their defensive coverage/team defense won’t be as stifling and smothering as the lightning defensive system was. Even without Jan rutta/Erik Cernak/Ryan McDonagh they were competent defensively.
We have to negate the efficiency of their relentless forecheck. Their physicality and aggressive ozone forecheck gave the bruins defense fits all series. They come at you in waves and they have a quick and fast transition/breakout game.
It will be A fun and intense series with both teams trading scoring chances. Leafs in 6.
I prefer the Leafs D if deployed properlythe panthers are a real good team. The leafs big advantage in this series is in net. They can’t let that go to waste.
Panthers are no gimme
