Looks like the Canes vs Panthers unless Leaf’s pull a rabbit out of their hat down 3-0. Leafs aren’t even battling for the puck.

I like our chances, Canes in 6.

The Canes have unfinished business with Florida.... I'll say that

10-2 FLA so far in the last two games in TOR. yikes.

Like you said. We didn’t have elite all world Freddie and Con Smyth Svech. 
 

 

…..or the Boom….

The Hurricanes and Panthers play the same brand of hockey.... it comes down to wants it more and who plays better in net.   

The canes should have more gas in the tank and home ice... as long as we can defend it.

The Woll has crumbled, but he had no defense in front of him.

You really can't even blame him they have been letting them get so many high danger shots on him

Florida has obliterated the Leafs from the start tonight. Woll didn't stand a chance in hell.

He had a great run all things considered.  

[PantherChris]

One thing to keep in mind is our forcheck has actually had more success than theirs in previous matchups Bob was the difference along with us missing key guys....

[PantherChris]

Need to make a statement Tuesday!!! Florida has one day in between road trips Toronto to Raleigh they won't be back in Florida.... need to come out and punch them in the mouth.

I’m not an expert but it just seems like the Canes aggressive forecheck style can really give Torontos breakout fits.  They’ve had a really hard time with Florida who does something similar.

We got beat by Florida because they were more physical than us.  But this years team has guys like Taylor Hall, Jack Roslovic, Eric Robinson, and Jankowski.  We have some bigger physical forwards now that really round out the team IMO.

Thanks dude, appreciate the breakdown!
