Not sure if they actually are doing that there, but the way some spoiled fanbases react to losing is genuinely hilarious. I remember when we tied the series 3-3 against Pittsburgh in 2017, someone on the Pens board basically said the the 2016 Cup win would be null if they managed to blow the series against the Sens.

Panthers not selling Game 3 and 4 tickets to anyone with a Canadian billing address lol.

Might have to buy some tickets now.

The general consensus among Bruins fans is that the team wasted their potential not winning another Cup after 2011.

I'd be pretty damn happy with "only" one Cup in the past 12 years.

While I'm not expecting them to steal another series, the Panthers winning would be unreal.

Not only would it crush the Leafs hopes of ever winning a cup but the Habs would see Florida's 1st round pick drop from 17th to 29-32.

For what it's worth,

In their respective last 41 games, Toronto had 54 pts while Florida had 52. Teams may not be as far apart as they seem,

Also it’s incredible how many things had to go right for that 2011 Cup as well. Three Game 7’s (one went to OT, the other was a one-goal game), two series’ where they were down 2-0, Thomas putting on a historical performance.

You take that and run. Anything for the next 15 years is gravy.

Panthers were also integrating a new coach this year + Tkachuk, and dealt with some injuries to Barkov and Ekblad.

Over the past 3 seasons, the Panthers have put up 293 points. The Leafs have put up 303.

These are two teams that have been knocking on the door for a while and want to get over the line. The Panthers aren't just some plucky upstart wildcard team happy to win a round. They returned 13 players from their President's cup season last year that had a bad taste in their mouth after losing to Tampa. Just like Toronto.

And if you look at their firepower:

Tkachuk scored 40 goals, 109 pts in 79 games
Barkov scored 23 goals, 78 pts in 68 games (94 pt/82 game pace)
Verhaeghe scored 42 goals, 73 pts in 82 games
Montour scored 16 goals, 73 pts in 80 games
Reinhart scored 31 goals, 67 points in 82 games

These guys can skate with Matthews, Marner, Tavares and Nylander. Tkachuk is arguably the best individual player in the series.

Plus the Canucks had loads of injuries.

Rags look so uninterested in winning this game, pathetic performance.

Yeah I thought they'd come out like they did in game 6 but so far it's a very half-assed performance. As you say they dont look like they care about winning which is strange because it's not like they've won anything recently and with the Bruins out they could potentially make it far.

Devils barn is swarming with Rags fans. Looks like our barn when the Leafs are in town

It's a look ahead way, way down the road when the league finally gives the GTA another team. The numbers of fans are there, but they'll be swarmed by leafs jerseys the way Jersey is swarmed right now with rangers.
