ECF: Florida Panthers vs. Carolina Hurricanes

[Guru Tugginmypuddah]

5-0 kitties.

 

[mr grieves]

The loss extended Carolina’s losing streak in Eastern Conference final games with Rod Brind’Amour as captain or coach to 14 games after the Canes were swept in 2009, 2019 and 2023.

Still a lot of ECF appearances tho…

Florida out scoring their opponents in their last 4 road games 22-4.

Incentivizing the effort plays to get the whole bench engaged and playing for one another sort of makes it easy to see why the Panther lines stay within their structure and can support each other up and down the ice.

6-2.......the Leafs were the second best team in the Eastern Conference.

Canes being outscored 16-4 in the series.

The Leafs had their bad games in Game 5/7 and finished the series getting outscored 26-17

6-1 FLD and Tkachuk, unprovoked, manhandles Aho. Has any team ever beaten a team physically and on the scoreboard like this in history?

Aho provoked it by hitting Reinhart in GM2. It's been a pretty one sided series so far.

 

[Guru Tugginmypuddah]

Leafs are kinda soft, but Carolina is 10 ply.

 

[WhatIfGodWasALeaf]

I wonder if Carolina will blow the whole thing up?

Surely they have to change the coach at the very least?

Brindamour just can't get them over the hump, their whole system of shooting from everywhere seems like an exercise in gaming analytics when it gets to the business end of things and they disappear.

The Hurricanes are playing (surprisingly) not ass-butt

Pretty dirty rip by Stankoven off a nice turnover counter

And people seriously want this guy on the Leafs? To hell with that.

According to the NHL, hitting goalies in the head is

To protect our own goalies, because the league isn't going to.

 

[bustaheims]

That makes 5 of the last 7 teams to eliminate the Leafs making it to the Cup finals.

Nope.
