Was not expecting this out of the Panthers, so pleasantly surprised. Tkachuk has been a monster and Bennett hits everything that moves.
Only two games, and we know how that goes, but so far that series has made us look even worse. The kid goalie has been run twice, and the Devs have been dominated. What a shocker, you mean a team actually tests the kid with more than long shots with no traffic, and he is struggling - who knew. Joke.
I'd say the Debs played the Canes like they played the Rangers games 1-2, we'll see if Ruff makes adjustments like he did against the Rangers but the Debs do not match up well against Carolina.
Looks like Lindy made those adjustments again, Toronto does suck but kudos to the Panther GM for blowing up the top scoring line and bringing in guys that play with an edge.
Yeah, Ruff has done a great job so far, have to give him credit. They made a bunch of changes before game 3, and they worked again. That series may come down to tonight. The winner of game 4 will be in a great spot to win the series. As for the Leafs, not sure what to say. That team just cannot win in the playoffs. Yeah they finally made it past round 1, means sh*t when they get rolled in round 2. And the Tkachuk trade was ballsy, but man has it paid off for Florida. He is a monster, and almost a perfect playoff player.
Canes making us look like the pile of trash we looked like in the NJ series. Amazing how we made Schmid look like Hasek, and the Canes whipped him, and V, and the Devs. So sad for us, and yet again shows we had ZERO excuse for losing that series, especially after leading 2-0. And I think we would have beaten the Canes if we had any heart.
Also shocking what happens when you have a coach adjust to the adjustments that were made instead of doing the same thing over and over. So glad Gallant is gone. Wish Panarin could disappear in real life like he does in the playoffs.
Yes, solid point about the idiotic game plan. As we discussed Gallant flat out had a series that gets coaches fired.
