Panthers played like a team in a trap game at the end of a long road trip. They couldn't match the 'Hawks' speed and relentless pressure in the 1st, and Stolarz could have been dinged for 5 goals early, but, gave up 3 goals due to bad and/or lazy D-zone coverage. The Cats tried to claw back in the 2nd, but, got burned on a quick counter attack on a Bedard partial break. The 'Hawks then went into a full collapsing D in the 3rd, and gave up 2 goals to the inevitable pressure, but then were able to spring another too fast youngster, Kurashev, for the ENG. SOG for the game were 40 to 23 for Florida, and FLA had a ton more shot attempts.

Even the FLA announcers admitted that the game was lost in the 1st 10 minutes.

Funny event, Stolarz went Billy Smith, with a slash on Corey Perry, who retaliated. Only Perry got dinged for the PIMs. I don't care that he is wearing our Jersey, I still hate Perry, and he IS a cheap shot artist.
