Icon30 [ECF] Carolina Hurricanes [MET1] vs Florida Panthers [WC2] Panthers win 4-0

Figured I’d start this series thread. Do the Canes get back to the cup finals for the first time since they won it in 06? Or do the Panthers continue their Cinderella run? Discuss

Go Carolina!

Screw Tkachuk and Bennett. Both players who didn't want to play in Calgary.

Lets go Panthers! Win it all. Fingers crossed. Would love to see Chucky, Benny and even Lomberg get the cup. Hope they can beat the Canes.

Give me the Stanley Cup Finals or give me death!!!

Woah...sorry, just been living south of the border too long.

I worry that this is a poor matchup for the Panthers, just in style of play. Injuries to the Hurricanes top forward cannot be discounted, but this will still be an incredibly competitive series either way.

Confidence and bounces. That's all it is at this point.

Let's Go Panthers!

I hope to see some intense checking and hits on the Canes players from Gudas and Benny.

Let's not lump him in with Tkachuk. The Calgary Flames Organization did not deserve Sam Bennett. It didn't take a genius scout to know that not only was he a competitive guy, that he had all the tools to be about what he was drafted as - a centre who deserved legitimate linemates and icetime.

I hope he wins the Cup. Just hope Bobrovsky gets the Conn Smythe and not Tkachuk.

I'm a big fan of Chucky but Carolina is much better. Canes will finish them off quickly in 5 or less.

"Bruins in 4"
"Leafs in 5"
"Canes in 6"

At least they keep giving us one more game each round!

If the Panthers win does Luongo get to lift the cup?

I like the Hurricanes for this one.



I don't think Florida can run and gun with the Oilers, and the Canes have a track record of beating Edmonton in the finals. That's what's really important about this series - who matches up better against the greasers.

Luckily your odds of both are higher in the US than living in Canada.
