I know they beat you ... and he beat you ... but I don't see how anyone can dislike that tkakakakchuck or whatever his name is. Dude is a baller and straight hockey bad ass. That scrum at the end was wild.

He is a goon plain and simple and that was my opinion before our series with them

NHL has got to get their poo together next year.

Pacioretty has to be gutted.

Was one of the OG Golden Knights and was shipped to Carolina just to suffer two torn achilles while his old club won the Stanley Cup.

Vegas absolutely destroyed Florida. Can they just call game.  

[Panthers Fan 69]

This just shows. 
 

Goalie. We have that in Freddie.  
 

svech. We need him back 

 

we need a big guy or two. 
 

we need a goal scorer.  

[Panthers Fan 69]

It’s been a hell of season boys.  Highs and lows. Going to miss the poo out of it.  
 

but it’s over. On to next year.

Congrats to former Hurricane, Nic Roy, on scoring a goal and winning the Stanley Cup. We should have never traded him for Haula.

Vegas worked them.  How could we not score against florida

[Day1PanthersFan]

Florida finally fell back to reality, the team that dropped the first 3 games to Boston came back 

We were just too thrown off our game to beat them , Vegas wasn't impressed and rolled them, its what we could have done 

Congrats to Vegas on the Cup win, can't wait to start it all over again next season

Because we were mostly relying on 4th liners and AHLers to score for us due to injuries... We also didn't do the little things like get traffic in front of the net, deflections, etc. while shooting breakaways and one-timers right into Bob's chest or glove.

We were better than Florida, but we weren't beating Vegas with our injuries (not even sure we could if we were fully healthy). Vegas is built like us but is just a lot better than us at what we do. I'm not sure how they have stayed under the cap with all of the talented forwards they have, but good job by their front office.

Florida finally fell back to earth and became the shitty team that they really were once the goaltending fell apart. Three teams kicking themselves wondering how they actually lost to them now.

Vegas adapted to their opponents. Let's not forget they were the 4th best team in the league behind Boston, Carolina and NJ. But nobody, including me, paid much attention because they're out west, where games don't start until 10PM EST.

Anyway, as I said, Vegas adapted. Florida thought they could come out and punch them in the mouth and get away with it. Ask Matthew Tkachuk, Gudas, Bennett and Paul Maurice how that worked out for them. Vegas played just as heavy when they needed to and managed to stay out of the box and keep their focus on the goal. Meanwhile, Cheap-shot Tkachuk was racking up more PIM than ice time, and Florida forgot about the end-game and thought they could win by playing physical. When it came time for Florida to actually play some skill hockey, it was too late, and they didn't have the horses, skill set or determination of the 2022-2023 Stanley Cup Champs.

Congrats to Vegas.

Oof. I’d be curious to see the Vegas injury report.

As the saying goes, "You f*** with the bull, you'll get the horns."

I said in my earlier post, Vegas in game 1 was like, "You guys sure you want to play this way? 'Cuz, if you do, we'll be more than happy to oblige."

Florida tapped out.
