00:00Alright, so the Panthers move on and they'll play the Carolina Hurricanes in the Eastern Conference Final.
00:07They swept them two years ago in the East Finals on their way.
00:12That was the year they lost to Vegas in the final.
00:14Of course, last year they won the Cup.
00:16They're minus 125, I've got them at, 128 here on the screen, plus 106 for Carolina.
00:23They will play Game 1 tomorrow night in Carolina.
00:28Carolina has the home ice in this series, and they are minus 125 favorites in Game 1 with a total of 5.5.
00:35I mean, I think the Canes are going to win Game 1, and there's no way they're getting swept in this series.
00:42They're too good.
00:43They have it all figured out.
00:45I mean, they are clamped down, a defensive team.
00:48They're a deep forecheck, walled team.
00:51They play in the corners.
00:53They dig, they cycle, they play low along the goal line, behind the net.
00:58Like Gretzky used to.
01:00Behind the net, they set up shop.
01:02They do everything in deep.
01:04They're a really good team.
01:05Mike, any way you slice it, they're going to give the Panthers a series.
01:09I'm certain of that.
01:11And then I think that at some level, this series with Toronto took a toll on the Panthers for immediate turnaround.
01:17Tomorrow night is crazy.
01:20Right.
01:20And I think that that's the biggest thing for tomorrow night.
01:23You know, you really, we talk about this a lot in the playoffs.
01:26You know, you have one team that hasn't played in almost a week, right?
01:30Carolina beat Washington in five games.
01:32You know, they just, they haven't been playing.
01:34And now, Florida, whether you, whether they beat them 6-1 or not, it was still seven grueling games that you had to play to get to that end.
01:42And then they get the quickest turnaround to then have to go and play Tuesday night.
01:46And Carolina's got a, Carolina's got a big opportunity to jump out and hit them here at the beginning of the series.
01:54Now, Toronto did it last series and it didn't matter.
01:57Toronto came out and hit them.
01:58Won the first two games at home and Florida still won four out of five and beat them.
02:04I think Florida wins this series, but I'm with you.
02:07I think Carolina's not only going to get, they got to get them tomorrow night in that game one at home.
02:12If they're going to have any shot of winning this thing against Florida.
