Time for the Panthers to get outplayed again in every game and then somehow, someway magically proceed to the SCF.

Carolina has played Devils and Washington
They haven’t been tested one bit so far
They have a massive advantage on wear and tear though

If there's one thing we can all agree on, it's that the loser of this series should trade for Erik Karlsson in the offseason.

Exactly. On a paper Florida clearly is the better team. But they haven't been as solid as last year. They also seems to have some players injured and Canes are more fresh. I would say it's 55-45 for Florida but it's nearly a coin flip. I think 5vs5 Carolina will give Florida the bigger challenge what Toronto did. And they are defensively solid. Florida should have more scoring power.
True. But now have Marchand and even better version of Lundell and Luostarinen. That Florida's third line is as good as many first lines in NHL, including these playoffs.

If it's Canes-Stars I might not even watch....except for the Rantanen drama, it'll be a snoozefest.
Best we can hope for is a rematch of last year. Dig the f*** in!

Im i the only one who thinks 2025 Florida looks more like 2023 than 2024 version of Florida? Clearly a good team and able to challenge but doesn't look as solid or healthy as 2024 team. 2023 they were outgassed against Vegas and this feels a bit similar situation. And not the least because of questionmarks around Tkachuk's health.
As a Finn, I am not gonna complain either way. Both is a win in my books!
Just hoping for entertaining series.

The depth of the forward line up is better than 2023. We had Staal x2 and Colin White as regulars in 2023.
Blueline misses OEL on the 3rd, and Montour's skating abilities but overall it's still a good blueline.
The biggest issues IMO are Chucky can't skate and Verhaeghe needs to see a hockey shrink.
The amount of games played too over a 3 year span probably is playing a minor role too in general fatigue.

People slept on the Oilers all playoffs. They're winning this thing. Book itFlorida will easily beat Dallas and would beat Oilers. They won last year and they improved this year by adding Marchand and Jones. Who are you guys kidding??

Please just win (at least) ONE f***ing ECF game this year guys, get the 0-12 since 2009 monkey off your backs (like we did this year with our inability to win road games the past few years)...we just can't go 0-16 in ECF games

And you think because? I think we’ll have a challenge on our hands, especially since Carolina has had much less wear and tear so far, but they’ve beaten Jersey and Washington so far.

Anyone giving Canes a win or two this go round, we appreciate you. We have Svech this time and Freddie playing really well. No one has played more hockey than the Panthers, you have to wonder if they'll wear down at some point. Canes are rested, but not sure Canes get past EDM/DAL even if they end FLA's tear.
Canes in 5
Theyve massively outplayed the devils (albeit injured/not good) and the Caps (pretenders or not)
Freddies been playing great, Slavin is prob the best pure defensemen in the league (Forslings right behind him) and the team is jelling really well. Despite losing Necas and Rantanen they havent lost a beat in scoring.
Panthers if they can play their game they can beat anyone, but injuries and them just goin cold/defensive lapses i dont see them going much farther. Canes are a better team than the Laffs and Covid Bay
More than ever depends on either teams goalies who are known for shitting the bed or stealing games.

This is the Cup Final before the Cup final.
This is going to be (on paper) a battle for the ages.
