Brad Marchand and the Florida Panthers are thriving right now but tonight's Game 6 against the Toronto Maple Leafs could be more difficult than originally believed.
In Game 5, the Florida Panthers destroyed the Toronto Maple Leafs and it wasn't even close. Ultimately, it was a pretty bad game and the fans were not pleased.
Tonight, the Maple Leafs have a chance to force a Game 7 in what should be their biggest game of the entire season.
However, after the events of the last game, not everyone is convinced that this team can actually get the job done when it matters the most.

Interestingly enough, Brad Marchand of the Florida Panthers actually believes the opposite. While speaking to the media, he had an interesting insight on the Leafs.
He noted that because of how badly the last game went for them, it is very likely that the Leafs play with a lot of hunger tonight and perhaps even win the game.
"If anything it's going to make them hungrier to have a bounce-back game and prove a lot of people wrong, which is a very dangerous combination."
Overall, the Toronto Maple Leafs have a lot riding on this game and if they lose, then a lot of superstar players will have to face the wrath of the fans.4
Upper management will also have to make some huge decisions about whether or not this team needs a retool. That could mean Mitch Marner and John Tavares on their way out.
Whatever the case may be, this is a very important match for the Leafs and if they win, they get to play Game 7 on home ice.
After Game 5, it felt like the series was over. But if the Panthers feel the same way, perhaps the Leafs will catch them off guard. We will just have to see tonight.
