I doubt they watched the series, it was a great one. Having watched both the Toronto and Florida series I don’t see any reason to count out Florida.
The goaltending excuse is especially hilarious considering Ullmark had a better SV% than Bobrovsky and much better than Vasilevsky (who the Leafs beat), while Samsonov is sitting in the same area at .900 (and Lyon at .902). The Panthers just turned a Vezina winner into a pumpkin, in what world are they going to struggle to do the same to Samsonov?

Probably aimed at me and Dino7 but they did almost miss the playoffs. That is what we said that they have a roster that looks like they would miss and it was close.
I was wrong on Tkachuk he is a elite level talent, when he went on that breakaway in OT thats what I thought he would look like the nasty skating but he does everything else at a elite level to make up for it.
Ironically he probably would have been the perfect winger for Hubderdeau and probably pot 50-60 with him.
