[Cali Panthers Fan]

I had to watch this one on delay tonight.

Team. Of. Destiny.

Panthers have rattled off 6 straight wins in the playoffs, against two great teams no less. I kinda feel bad for the Leaf fans because they just ran into this team playing their absolute best hockey at the right time.

Tonight was a clinic in defensive structure for the Panthers. Bob rarely faced a dangerous chance, and most of them came in the first 10 minutes of the 3rd. The Panthers were extremely opportunistic and made good chances on minimal offensive time. What it tells is me is that the Panthers believe a lot in every chance they get and aren't upset if it doesn't go their way.

That Bennett attempt in the 3rd...hooooeeeeey! Tkachuk and he are brothers if ever there were a pair.

Up 3-0 and next game on home ice. An early goal for the Panthers could probably take the series easily next game. The Leaf players seem too tense to play well, and the pressure will be too much unless they start to get some bounces and breaks. That could change the series, but I doubt it will happen.
