Biggest two obstacles

1) Bob, as we all know. 

2) Florida's defensive zone. If our forecheck falters, they can swing momentum. They're not as dangerous as we are in transition, but they get the puck out quick. Could be irritating for us, and we know what we look like when we get irritated thanks to the Devils.

I really thought Toronto out played them the last two games.  I would have liked to see the Lafs take them to at least 6 games but they really got screwed on the no goal call.  Either way, I thought the Leafs out performed the Panthers the last two games which gives me some optimism.  I'm not sure what to make of it, this is a series where having Svech would be very nice.  I think our team is grittier, and has better depth scoring, but I think the Panthers have a few higher end players right now.  Ultimately our team isn't goind to back down.

I think the zebras are going to have a lot to do with the outcome of this series.  We have to find our power play this series or it's going to be tough sledding.

One thing the Canes will have to be ready for is the Panthers dirty play- targeting, head hits, stick grabs near the end of the game when the refs won’t call it, etc. They make the Islanders look like boy scouts.

Panthers coach Paul Maurice brought this “style” to Florida with him from his time with the Jets. Names to watch - hit man Sam Bennett, and Matthew Tkatchuk.

Canes have to be aware while sticking to their game. Here are just a couple of Bennetts dirt, he had lots more.

Wouldn't it be nice to be in a position to put Pool Party on the ice with the sole mission of taking out Bennett, just like the old days when teams had hired enforcers?

 

Bennett has been called an “enforcer” by some but that’s being too generous, he isn’t paying back for anything he just targets players to try to take them out of the game or interrupt a play with dirty hits etc.

Series winning goal was definitely a penalty on Gudas. They aren’t afraid to play this kind of dirty either.

Staal vs Staal and Staal.

Big Staal vs Lesser Staals.

 

No matter what happens this series, the next Staal family dinner is going to be interesting 

And just imagine playing your sibling in in the playoffs, knowing for you to succeed you have to crush your brothers dreams

      Malik Willis anyone

      I must apologize, my sarcasm at times doesnt translate well in text form lol. At this point I would welcome us signing him, Trey Lance, trading for Jameis Winston, asking about Deshaun Watson and playing phone tag with Tom Brady before I ever fully entertain a season of Bryce Young being the defacto Starting Quarterback of the Panthers.

      Bryce is elite at deep throws

      By beckersteen · Posted

      We had a QB who could do that and its the last time we went to the Super Bowl and the only time we had an MVP. Once he lost his ability to do that he was out of the league. To filter out insignificant stats I will only look at QBs who have played in 10 or more games this year. There are 28 qualifying QBs. Bryce is 25th in Air Yards per Attempt at 6.4. Only Joe Flacco, Cam Ward, and Dillon Gabriel are worse (6.0, 5.8, 5.1). Trevor Lawrence, Patrick Mahomes, and CJ Stroud are the median QBs at 7.1. Drake Maye and Sam Darnold lead the league at 8.7. Bryce is 18th in the league for passes that travel 30+ yards at 12. The median is Caleb Williams at 15. The league leader is Matthew Stafford with 26. With passes that travel 40+ yards, Bryce is tied with three others at 21st in the league with 3. Only Jacoby Brissett, Cam Ward, Joe Flacco, and Dillon Gabriel are worse. The median is a three-way tie with Drake Maye, Trevor Lawrence, and Baker Mayfield with 6. The league leader is Sam Darnold with 12. Having the ability to complete passes down the field (not YAC) stretches the defense and makes them account for more ground. It keeps players out of the box and keeps formations in nickel or dime, less line backers for your RBs to worry about. Bryce is why we have 2 losses against the Saints. If he had the outright ability to sling the football down field we beat the easily, but he doesn't. So they crowded the box and our 2 starting caliber RBs with our top ~10 Oline couldn't carry the offense to a win on their own. The limitations of the offense fall squarely on Bryce.
