The last time an nhl team went to 3 consecutive finals with a 80 game + regular season schedule were the NY Islanders over 40 years ago. Gretzky dynasty oilers, Lemieux dynasty penguins, the Chicago Blackhawks of the 2010’s didn’t even reach 3 consecutive finals. Tampa has recently but 2 shortened covid seasons plus a bubble playoffs months after the reg season ended doesn’t count.

No. Florida doesn’t 3 peat, I promise.

Some people think the panthers do it where they had the most nhlers (8) at the 4 nations where it was injury filled because of the intensity, smh.
 
Tampa is the only team I can see making it interesting. The Lightning and Panthers have exchanged decisive wins over the regular season. So I can totally see a series going seven between them.

The rest of the conference, though, looks weaker compared to previous years. So I'm going to say yes, they make to the SCF for the third straight year.

Anything can happen in the playoffs. Best teams on paper do not win always. All it takes is hot goaltending on one side and shaky goaltending on the other.

Okay, but the OP asked whether people thought the Panthers will to the SCF. I elaborated on that specific scenario.

I'm disagreeing Tampa is the only team that can make it interesting. Playoffs are not played on paper. Worse teams win all the time. Leafs have had better goaltending than the Panthers all year, it's possible they get goalied.
 
Can they? Of ourse,

But the field is always the safer bet. All it takes is one goalie to get hot and anyone can be eliminated.
