The Toronto Maple Leafs were dominant through two periods against the Florida Panthers but had some issues trying to defend a pushback in the third period. Mike DiStefano and David Morassutti give their thoughts on the Leafs performance against the Panthers where they made sure the Panthers could not establish their game especially early on. In their breakdown of the 3 Stars of the Game, Mike and Dave look at another strong night from Ilya Samsonov, the penalty kill shining again, the youth stepping up and Auston Matthews continuing his impressive form. To end the show, Mike and Dave touch on the struggling power play, some intriguing playoff positioning that could come down to the wire and the Leafs newest addition in Jacob Quillan.

Big game that 3rd leaves a bad taste
We were lucky we pick back after we waived Samsonov this season. 16th fastest goaltender to reach 100th wins in 167 career games.
Sends a message that even when everything goes right, even a 4 goal 3rd period lead isnt really safe
2 goals were soft for Samy. The rest was solid . Against a team like FL in the playoffs this won't fly.
For all the whiners on here….This was a DEPLETED Leaf lineup…and they Still pulled it off AND chased Bob out of the net.
All is well,but hang on, Reilly will be back for playoffs ,so Florida in 5
Love love love this broadcast ❤
I want the Leafs to be the ones that knock Boston out in r1 of play off sooooo bad
That would feel like a cup win for me
Share share share this let get them to 5000❤
I'm torn over last night. If you'd told me before the game that the leafs without Marner, Reilly, Liljegren, and Edmundson would walk out of that game with a W, I would have been delighted. So why am I pissed off? S.O.S. 5-1 lead that they turn into a nail biter. Make a habit out of this, as the Leafs have, and you're just not a serious playoff team. However, all four of those players would have started last night – 20% of your starters out, and you still win. Probably me being hyper sensitive around this issue … or is it? Love to know what ohers think.
I would have said yes but then the 3rd period happened. So they are still incapable of locking down the 3d against good teams.
Yes – the message is "we still cannot play 60 minutes of hockey"
Message sent: Leafs can Leaf it regardless of the lead. Sadly until that changes drastically it makes me sick.
When Marner comes back 3rd line should be Knies Robertson Marner just fpr one game id like to see what it would do
yes a shitty message. They almost lost.
I am begging you guys to stop doing Radio Signoffs and cuts to break…. It's a podcast, we all got here by seeking you out, we know what show we are listening to and who is talking and don't need to be reminded every break like some old Radio or TV relic LOL. 🤣🙏 Podcasts were made popular by dudes like Adam Carolla and Joe Rogan who offered long-form conversations with very little breaks for advertisements. Its mystifying to me how all the radio guys have switched over to podcasting and think its a good idea to try and make podcasting sound more like radio which is dying a slow and painful death lol.
leafs should of played the long game and lost on purpose so panthers can take first spot and we can play boston round 1.
A win is a win but sometimes it’s an ugly one
Based on that third period, the playoff message was, "No Leafs lead is insurmountable".
2nd line Center …JT 3rd line Center next season …Calling it on this day
