Florida looks.... Bad.

My son is home from overseas in the Marines and I just got tix for game 2 Panthers game. Hopefully it goes better than tonight is so far.

If Boston advances to the next round, no way they beat the Rangers/Hurricanes

They did this last year. Forget what series. Came out looking like they were going to get swept but turned it around next game.

I would be concerned if they lose two in a row.

They only looked bad the last 6 minutes. Up to that point they were all over Boston.

That one is on Bob.

Yes, Sabres South.

Yep.  I said that upthread.

Florida is very rusty

Exactly

Stunning.

This is a coaching duel.

This looks like the Sabres playing the Broons.

Well, "duel" is quite the right word.

[Claude Balls]

Florida may not beat Swayman again and Ullmark may never play another game for the Bruins. The kid looks unbeatable right now. 

[Second Line Center]

Florida looked like they were “off” the last 7 days and the Bruins are riding a big OT win.  
 

Not totally shocked.  Took Florida 2 periods to start going.  
 

If they don’t get goalied they’ll be fine.

Maurice has no answer for Montgomery's strategy in addition to Swayman being covered in fly paper.

Just not Floridas night. Adjustment time for game 2.

They need to pick up their physical play in game 2. They've been sleepwalking most of the night.

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

28%?  What is the math on this?  5 players right?  Divided by 20. 

[Claude Balls]

As much as I hate the Bruins, I would enjoy watching a Rangers/Bruins series. NY is one team that would out-physical Boston pretty easily IMO. Rangers are a big nasty team. I also hate the Hurricanes quite a bit too.

5 out of 18 skaters (didn't count the goalies).  If you want to count goalies it's 25%

Kulikov
Montour
Reino
Okie
ERod

[Claude Balls]

Safe to say Swayman is gonna be in the Panthers heads for game 2

[...]

Ugh.

[Thorner]

People who rooted for the bruins last series… now look at this mess 

[Claude Balls]

Panthers need to start game 2 the way they finished game 1. All those ex Sabres players looked like ex Sabres players tonight. Florida could really use Sam Bennett back.

I’ve turned.  I think I really am not in the mood to see Reinhart v Casey in the Finals. 
 

Nothing against Sam.  I’m just done with my team and our fans getting kicked in the nuts.  Happens enough to our team in games.  
 

I started rooting for Boston couldn’t help the emotions sometimes that just happens. 
 

 

Rangers are winning the Cup anyway.  The Knicks are playing the Pacers.  OJ was in the news.  The Yankees are built right.  Vancouver is awesome.  Full 1994 vibes.
