Only one state truly knows how to handle a hurricane and this one isn't even on the correct side of 95. Cats in 6.

 

[BMOK33]

Panthers have to win 1 of first 2. Feel game 1 is a loss on the short turn, could be really ugly. I just think PP has looked so bad, at times they have looked a tad tired I think Canes in 5 or 6.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Carolina is getting a break with that Tuesday start and they’ve played relatively low physical hockey in the first two rounds. This might be the year they break through.

 

[Vergil]

Panthers in 6.

Tkachuk has a bad hip/groin injury with a 4-6 month recovery time just FYI.

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

Canes are the real deal this year. This is the year they finally break through…


…to win a game in the ECF. Panthers in 5.

 

[ViD]

Florida in 4 as is the tradition in Raleigh

 

[Johnny Tomala]

Panthers in 6.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

There's no stopping this Florida team. They're repeating as cup champs especially with Marchand on the team and the extra motivating factor.

Carolina just doesn't have the firepower to beat Florida.

 

[HisIceness]

I remember not terribly long ago, the thought of both of these teams having a playoff matchup was laughable. Now not only are we getting a 2nd one in 3 years, but both occur in the ECFs, some of that due to the wacky playoff format but I digress.

Regarding, go Canes go!

Florida will eviscerate the Hurricanes; they just clinched their second Stanley Cup, here.

 

[FinPanda]

Panthers in 6

Total nightmare for Carolina. They can’t score and Florida does what the Canes do better them as well as being tough as shit. Likely Cats in 5, maybe 6.

West is obviously way better than the East but with Col and Min out and somewhat Vegas this may be true. Edmonton can maybe beat them

 

[MikeFolignosHelmet]

Canes in 7 exciting games.

Good defense beats good offense and vice versa.

If canes did this they’d be gunning for one of the best playoff teams of all time. They tied most wins before the 3rd rd with 8-2.

Canes have 3.40 gf per game compared to Florida 3.50. Dallas is actually the worst scoring team amongst the four teams remaining.

 

[PlushMinus]

Florida will eviscerate the Hurricanes; they just clinched their second Stanley Cup, here.

Why? Because they beat Tampa and the Leafs who were clearly superior teams to Dallas and Oilers?

jfc what a ridiculous take

 

[Garbageyuk]

Panthers in 5.

Just curious, what stats are you looking at that say Carolina can’t score?

 

[newsportsfan123]

Special teams and goaltending will be the difference this time around. Canes power play is the hottest it’s ever been since Rod took over but that could run out against the Panthers. I think it will just be a replay of 2023 with a bunch of one goal victories. I hope the Canes win. Maybe the Canes players are hungrier this time, this is Brent Burns last realistic chance at a cup.

 

[MoreOrr]

Go Canes! If Florida wins then Go Marchand! One way of the other I get somebody in the Final.

 

[3CanesInTheBox]

I hope.

Canes in 13.
