SCF Game 2: Florida Panthers Vs Vegas Golden Knights | 8:00PM ET 5:00PM PT | TNT, TBS, TRUTV, CBC, SN, TVAS

[Fearnot]

Paul Maurice is telling Gudas to sharpen the butt end of his stick and impale Hill like a jouster. It's probably the only way the Panthers can even win a game this series.

 

[metalan2]

Damn, bad goaltending and biased refs. No team has any semblance of a chance when that happens.

 

[FlaPanthers11]

The obvious Hill penalty was one thing but the pick on Verhaeghe in the neutral zone and slashing his stick out of his hands which allowed the clean entry (an exact penalty Florida got called for last game) had a huge impact

Recap of the first period:

 

[jgs]

Florida is nothing without Bobrovsky playing out of his mind.

Vegas was basically handed the Cup by having Bob play great for 2 rounds and then regress to the norm.

It is not that Bod has regressed. Vegas is pumping on 8 cylinders and Florida players are not meeting the speed of Vegas.

 

[bambamcam4ever]

I guess this is what happens when Florida gets average goaltending.


They've been outplayed in just about every game I've seen them in, but Bob was in god mode....if he doesn't step up this is going to be a short series.

What's happening shouldn't be a surprise, Florida was significantly outplayed the last two rounds and got carried by Bobrovsky. Historically these kind of runs typically end in the final.

 

[Mirka the Turka]

I think the West is proving to be the much stronger conference

 

[zeykshade]

Wonder what happened at the end there. Looked like someone was avoiding a leaping interference check. TNT said it was Karlsson avoiding a hit but I didn't get a good look.

Friendly fire situation, Karlsson was avoiding his teammate's attempt to check Barkov.

It's looking like a Vegas sweep until further notice

 

[Pablo El Perro]

They're all getting blocked

I was referring to a moment where Florida had five shots on the pp and they still had only 3 on the board. You had to be there.

 

[Team_Spirit]

Nah these goals are not on Bob cmon

 

[HanSolo]

You're referring to the regular-season MAF presumably, not the playoff version.

MAF had a good run in 2018. He came to earth a bit in the Finals but Vegas' defense just wasn't showing up either. Couldn't tell you how many cross crease passes the Knights failed to cut off.

 

[Boris Zubov]

I get Vegas is a better team than Carolina, but watching Florida here, how did they sweep Carolina again?

10 days of rest screwed up their Mojo.

 

[IceNeophyte]

What these frigging refs finally decided to call one on Vegas. They will be fired after this game.

As usual, uncalled both ways. But whatever makes you feel right.

 

[Sharkbomb]

Bob is Pekka Rinneing this.

 

[Winged Wheel Willy]

He's going to wrap those 24 inch pythons around Tkachuks neck till his eyes bug out.

Make it rain, baby xD

 

[ThreeMs]

I don't care about either team but the refs are absolute trash. The league should be embarrassed.

 

[BelovedIsles]

What a sequence, great stops by Hill, the non-call, then Vegas goal. I thought Florida could win a track meet, but they can't unless Bob is unreal. Their D has zero structure and poise right now. If that doesn't change, I'm not getting my 7 games.

 

[trilobyte]

Florida playing ok
But their desire to be “tough”
Is creating so many stupid mistakes

I thought they would put that away this game

 

[Snippit]

Vegas just looks much better all over the ice right now

 

[NeverBeNormal]

Florida never had a chance, sucks because the first game started like it could have been a great series. Bad bounces and even worse reffing.

 

[JaegerDice]

The refs do seem less inclined to go along with Tkatchuk’s shenanigans this round. They’re not letting him draw the calls he has the last few rounds by being a complete shit-disturber.

 

[fsanford]

Legitimately the first time I’ve felt confident in the goalie since MAF, and probably more confident. Do I have a problem?

Should I seek medical advice?

I think Knights defensive structure is just so solid.
And Hill is so calm back there. D knows he not going to be all over the place

Ahh, TV is really slow updating SOG. The app is much more timely

All of them.
