Florida Panthers are this year's Montreal Canadians

[Green]

Jinx

 

[Gnova]

More like the 2014 Kings imo.

 

[JP Mick]

The clock hasn't struck midnight yet for this Cinderella team. They are firing on all cylinders by committee while Bob makes the big stops like Price did back in 2021.

You need attention, It's OK.

 

[22FUTON9]

Except they’re much much better

 

[Sky04]

How? It took them 2 games less to beat the Leafs.

 

[MMANumminen]

Florida is not a true underdog. It's Boborovski playing finally as he should

Nobody is the Montreal Canadians.

They are one of one

 

[ORRFForever]

Much better team. This is just a classic underdog run. Montreal's run is a Cinderella on cocaine.

^ This.^ Florida has far more talent.

 

[Maffew]

This Florida team is nothing like the Habs in 2021. MTL was a team built for the playoffs but barely squeaked in, Florida is showing who they really are this post-season.

Florida played at a .638 clip since January. This run is more akin to the 2019 Blues.

 

[Clode]

So much salt

 

[Osakahaus]

This Panthers team has a LOT more talent than that 2021 Habs team

Also Bobrovsky looks great

 

[JianYang]

I don't get it.

Are Tkachuk and bobrovsky retiring after this playoff?

 

[Osakahaus]

If Florida hadn't run into the Lightning early the last two years this thread wouldn't exist, they deserve to be where they are right now

Yes but no

Weegar was so bad in every series vs Tampa, and Huberdeau has zero grit at all. The Panthers struck gold by trading for Tkachuk btw

 

[Gentle Man]

Lmfao

Is Ekblad/Montour and Bobrovsky playing on ligaments taped together and are LTIRetiring this summer?

Wtf is this thread

 

[strattonius]

I think the 2012 Kings comparison is better.

This Panthers team has a lot of talent even after a mediocre season - new coach, new star player..there were a lot of changes they had to overcome and now they are.

It's really just so unlikely because their 1st rd was a Boston team that looked unbeatable this season. But we're seeing how much parity hockey has with these match ups.

 

[BlueSeal]

The Cats are Giant Killers and punch well above their weight. Don’t take them lightly.

 

[Dr Beinfest]

I read the first post and was ready to take on OP, but I see the rest of the board is managing that just fine

 

[Chairman Maouth]

The clock hasn't struck midnight yet for this Cinderella team. They are firing on all cylinders by committee while Bob makes the big stops like Price did back in 2021.

Wrong. They are the 2012 LA Kings.

 

[super6646]

Barkov and tkachuk are in another league compared to any Montreal forward.

No, not even close.

 

[Shocker]

Nobody is the Montreal Canadians.

They are one of one

For all of HFBoards, thank god for that.

 

[Beezeral]

This is the worst comparison I’ve seen in a very long time.

 

[Lt Dan]

They remind me more of the 2012 Kings

 

[Machinehead]

They won 58 games last year.

Montreal didn't win 58 games across the season before and the season after their SCF appearance put together.

 

[torniojaws]

Toronto is this year's Toronto

 

[SheldonJPlankton]

Leafs are gonna leaf.
