Toronto had a .909 save percentage in the regular season, .893 save percentage in round one and a .909 in round 2.
Carolina was .902 in the regular season, .914 in round one, .902 in round two, and now .922 in round 3.
So tell me now Toronto and Carolina got worse goaltending against Florida than in their previous rounds or the regular season, when their save percentage was actually better. You cherry-picked the stats to try to make it look like Florida was making these teams look bad defensively and exposing their goalies.

lol, no man, I said nothing about making teams look bad defensively and very specifically said they made the starting goaltenders look worse. I laid out the stats. They made Ullmark, Samsonov, and Andersen (the three starting goaltenders) look worse than they had previously. You can’t complain about sample size and then complain that I have included Woll’s .800 4 save performance in round 1 and below-his-season performance in round 2.
Don’t think the point is relevant? Good for you. Want to argue against some other point I didn’t make? Have fun but, honestly, why would I care about you contradicting a point I didn’t make? lol. The stats are the stats.
I don’t know why some of you guys are so desperate to limit any praise of the Panthers. Tkachuk scoring timely goals? Sure, he’s also scoring
lots of goals, and will probably be the top scorer by the time the finals wrap. Amazing goaltending? Absolutely. But the creativity on the offensive zone, the forecheck, the physical play, it’s all a big factor.
Watch the games, enjoy it. What Bob is doing? Incredible. But there is lots to be amazed by. They’re a super fun team to watch all over the ice. Don’t be so desperate about making sure Bob gets all the credit.
