Here we go...

Wonder if Florida will have the legs to deal with Carolina tonight.

I would say no.

Likely correct.  But that's why these are a best out of 7 and not 1 and done like in the NFL.

2 of 4 Conference Finalists from Tax Haven Markets. What a $hock

It's a race to get to two goals. Really depends on who gets to their game first. Get ready for a few OT games in this series.

I bet Florida is fine tonight. They will be running on autopilot and adrenaline. It can be an advantage to not have time off.

What about the other 2?

Not a kick, but definitely a redirect.

If this first period is any indicator, the Canes have their hands full.

The NHL should just get rid of the kick rule. They never enforce it anyway.

Mmm. The first instance of a real kick and NHL-dom would be up in arms, let alone the act of making kicking with knives on one's feet allowable.

We've already seen clearly kicked in pucks allowed to stand. I can't recall the last time a goal was disallowed. Oh wait, now I remember. When Buffalo does it.

Too early to talk

Much better game than I expected 

[HILLsabre]

Boy, all these teams have a lot of set plays and know what and where each other is at on the ice. It's like they have responsibilities! ....as opposed to pond hockey, run and gun. and done! Wow!

The Canes are using Bob as a boxing dummy.

The Rat is under the Ghosts sheet.  (Tribute contribution to the Phamtom Sign Makers)

[Wyldnwoody44]

Can't believe he didn't get anything for blatant shooting of a puck at the rat?! Somehow Carolina got a PP 

[inkman]

I’m struggling to understand the announcers in the Florida Carolina series. They are incredulous as to why Ghost bear when after Marchand.  I don’t know, maybe he’s been the bigger ***** in sport the last decade?  Is that a good enough reason?

Nah ***** Marchand

It’s the Stanley Cup Playoffs in 2025 and the NHLs National Coverage cannot tell us what the penalties are without annoying debate.

Florida is pouring it on.  5-1
