So obviously Canes got the wind knocked out of them. As I said, Panthers are better at what Carolina does than Carolina. But the main diff was once again Bobo. Both teams made big mistakes. Bobo erased his team's miscues. Panthers made the Canes pay for their bumbles.

Did not agree w/the 1st Aho penalty that ended a Canes PP (If that is a penalty, then there should be 25 PP's a game). But all things were evened when they let the goal off of Aho's skate count. Staal's 1st period give away was a dagger. That had the Canes chasing the game & took the crowd out.

Five goals you usually have some blame for the GT. But I can't blame Freddie. I think 3 of the goals a Panther had the puck @ point blank range. That is on the other skaters to be more physical & keep Florida off the front porch. And then the well executed fast break on an ill-timed change that Andersen had no chance to stop.

So I knew the Canes had an uphill climb. Just don't want a sweep. Hate for this to become a chronic problem where everyone is treating them like the Leafs, Vikings or Bills.
