The Rangers look beastly. I think they got an Original Six pass on a boarding call, though.

If both teams play like this for the entire series someone is going to get hurt.

Rangers had Carolina panicking all third. Svechnikov will take a lot of heat but by then the chances of winning were slim.

Conference finals: Carolina - Florida and Dallas - Edmonton 

Too soon to call either conference final IMHO. From the looks of game 1, Carolina is not likely to overcome the Rangers. Dallas had to go the distance with Vegas, and Vegas would have been thoroughly creamed by Colorado.

For the record:  Round 2:

East
CAR @ NYR
BOS @ FLA

West
COL @ DAL
EDM @ VAN

(Home teams for Game 1 are the higher seed)

So I guess my rooting interests are:
Carolina (meh, don't care really, but root for the underdog)
Florida (i.e. Sabres South)
Colorado (go Mittsy!)
Vancouver (Buffalo's expansion partner)

The Panthers is my "local team" here on east coast Florida.  Hoping they win it all.  

I'm rooting for the Panthers as well, but won't be disappointed if Mitts lifts the Cup.

Boston looks much better than I was expecting. They just don't go away. 

The Panthers starting a series slow is not unheard of, too.

That one is on Bob.

22% of the Panthers' skaters are former Sabres.

Yes, Sabres South.

Nah, that's on Zacha for running Bob over and putting him on his back. Not sure why Florida didn't challenge. Looked like he was still in the crease to me. But wtf do I know, lol.

Looked like he came out of the crease and attacked the puck, blurry line where his protection ends. I don't see the NHL overturning that (although it's  Toronto making the call, so maybe so payback) 😜

Bob played the puck poorly prior to that and he rushed back to the net. He put himself out of position above the crease where the collision was legal.

Let's not forget they didn't start Bob a few games in last season's playoffs because he was doing dumb things.

Actually 28% of the Panthers' skaters are former Sabres... forgot about Kulikov.

Don't think we'll see Bob in game two, lol.

This topic is OLD. A NEW topic should be started unless there is a VERY SPECIFIC REASON to revive this one.
