ECF: New York Rangers [MET1] vs Florida Panthers [ATL1] - Florida wins 4-2

[direwolf]

Man, the Panthers definitely look like they’re poised to win it all this year. And they have the firepower, the D, the goaltending, and special teams to be able to deal with the wonder twins should that end up being the match-up. I really like their chances.

Starting to think Tkachuk made the right choice.

[Mathgod]

Man, that Sam Bennett guy really brings it in the playoffs.

I wonder if the Flames will ever have someone like that.

[Scrambler]

Great picture!

[Cali Panthers Fan]

The broadcast just mentioned how the acquisition of Tkachuk was the catalyst for the back-to-back finals appearances for the Panthers.

Look, you may not love how things turned out for the Flames, but you can't be upset about how our boys are playing in Florida. Bennett, Tkachuk, Lomberg...cheer for them. They earned this fair and square, and through 3 of the toughest goaltending performances I can remember a team overcoming.

Lip reading Maurice to Barkov and Chucky at the end of the game 'don't you dare touch that f'ing trophy'. LOL.

Maybe this was all in the plan, Flames may not have been in a Cup window if Chucky stays, but the the No Goods were a little ahead in that regard, so let's get Chucky to a place in the East where their window is opening up to eventually take the No Goods down in 2024.

It makes sense!

Plus Hubby can 'find his game' with the right Center to pass to, and also mentor the young guns.

This is a win-win big BIG picture.

I don't think I knew Okposo was even on the panthers until a game or two ago.

[midniteowl]

Cats Win!!!

[CalgaryFan1988]

Well, I really don't like Tkachuk but unless the Stars pull out a comeback.... Go Florida!!!

[Paulie Walnuts]

Incredible team. Great state.

Love Florida so much

[WhiteTiger]

Woo hoo! Go, Panthers!

[Cali Panthers Fan]

For those worried about facing the Oilers and their PP...

They just faced the Rangers and their elite PP, and they went 14 for 15 on the PK.

It's gonna be fine.

Panel on now... how long until somebody makes a grease or mcdiver reference?

[Manhattanboy]

Congrats to Cali. Go panthers! Win it all. Jealous.

[dirk diggler]

i also feel like Bennet and Tkachuk wont be scared to hit Pissy and Mcjesus, i am still hoping for Dallas but have lost faith in them for their no shows the last 2 games

[jayswin]

I'm so happy for Tkachuk and Bennett, I really hope they win it all this year.

[Cali Panthers Fan]

Also, just to add, I was a season ticket holder back when the team's leading scorer was Nick Bjugstad. Yes, that actually happened. He led the club with 38 points.

...those were dark days...

I think I've earned this joy. I don't want to hear any #### talking about Tkachuk, Bennett, Treliving, Edward Murray....nothing. Keep it to yourself for the finals please. Just let me be happy about this.
