What I've seen in this series started when watching the 3OT period in Game 1. Florida seemed...faster, better conditioned and a half-step ahead of the Canes all they way. When the Canes were tired, flagging and floundering in that period, Panthers were all over the puck, speedy and moving well, crashing bodies and still playing their game. (I couldn't stay awake for 4OT unfortunately!)

As far as I can see - and I've not watched all of every game - that hasn't stopped. It was certainly the case in the last game. Panthers won almost every 50/50 puck battle in that 3rd period and were all over the Canes, with the exception of one long session trapped in their own zone.
