Series Talk: ECFs Discussion - Panthers vs Rangers - (4-2 Florida)

Game 1 we look sleepy as hell and get down, just fall short of a comeback.
Game 2 we win 3-2 OT
Games 3-4: lose both at home
Game 5: 4-2 win
Game 6: 2-1 loss

Thanks - that was really informative. I hope this isn't the result but this does feel very likely. I hoping that we win at least one at home and then squeak out a win in OT of G7.

Oh? It's like that eh

Another article from The Athletic on the match:

Breaking down the Rangers-Panthers series

The Athletic's Peter Baugh and Michael Russo analyze two evenly matched teams.

www.nytimes.com

I had to laugh when Michael Russo pretty much said nada to any weaknesses in our team. I mean, come on - hadn't he watched the last couple of games?! I like his rosy spectacles although it does make me nervous... I appreciate finally having a beat writer for the Panthers at the Athletic (albeit one borrowed from the Wild) but I heard in a podcast that Russo used to be the beat writer for us years ago. Was he any good? Do we have any other beat writers on other platforms?

Russo has a soft spot for Panthers for sure. He's my favourite Panthers beat writer, current and former. Has a good writing style and is informative.

Bob is getting dragged a lot for that .902 Sv%

Not that he cares, but it's happening.

theyre quiet that his GAA is lower than shestys, hopefully bob hears all this and goes supersaiyan against them

Oh? It's like that eh

I think they need more than that, their style of play is based on the powerplay, you block stamkos and frustrate kutcherov, you are back to square one.

Super Saiyan is two words idiot. Jeez

Ultra Instinct Bob the rest of the way would be cool though

I expect that Rempe will continue to target Forsling like he was in late season match-ups.

It Laviolette wants to play hin for 5 mins a game. Go ahead.

Bob made many timely saves. He isnt facing the workload He had last year. Imo, He saved is several Times and kept us in a lot of games

Panthers walking into MSG tomorrow!

Oh? It's like that eh

That is Stammers money unless they are moving a piece like Cirelli

 

[Chaos2k7]

Bob cares about Ws, that's it. Should be scary for teams to think that he still has another playoff level like last year.

Be careful what you wish for.

This is a joke right ?

What this series is showing before it even starts is how little people know about hockey, their teams and just good common sense. The main board is just one big disaster and this last post is the gold standard kind of post you would see there.

The more negativity the more gooder we do

Its a proven fact

The last series i was confident on was vegas, aint neva makin that mistake again

After watching endless youtube previews,

I am convinced we have no shot. Special teams too good. We can't handle Trocheck's line. And Shesterkin is too good and Bob has been bad.

Sad face that we are taking a step back =(.

Most people on the board are either saying Rangers or Panthers in 6 or 7. Fairly well split in the middle which it should be. There is a few vocal outliers. But there always is.

Wow - OK. Seems like I hit a nerve there, mate...

I'm open about the fact that I'm new to hockey but from what I've read and listened to, it doesn't feel like it's completely absurd to believe this series is close and could go 6 or 7 either way - indeed, that seems to be a consensus view. And we should be the first to know that anything can happen in sports. Would I like us to win in 4 or 5? Of course, but it doesn't seem very likely. And I admit to nerves, particularly given the performance in the last couple of games.

Besides, as others have said, no need to anger the hockey gods at the beginning by being too cocky.

So it’s important you note you are new to hockey so am I to where I’m not a veteran like many posters here.
Don’t overthink things you have a super talented team be confident that the Panthers will hopefully continue to be productive and hopefully win the series. Don’t go game by game as if you know something that is silly.

Colby Cohen from Daily Faceoff actually picked US.

Rangers Fans will be surprised when they play a Real Team
