00:00But, I mean, these Panthers, I mean, Dynasty is strong.

00:04They still got to win this one, too.

00:05But I don't know, Josh.

00:07They look as dominant as any team in the National Hockey League.

00:10I know some people thought that they sleptwalked through a few games

00:13during the regular season.

00:14But as soon as they added Brad Marchand, all of a sudden,

00:17this team just took off 5-0 yesterday against a team that was favored

00:21to win the Cup.

00:235-0 yesterday.

00:25They sent everybody in rally packing early.

00:28Game 1, 5-2.

00:29They sent everybody packing in rally.

00:31Game 7 in Toronto.

00:34They shut down that Scotiabank Arena, sent everybody packing.

00:37People spending thousands of dollars on tickets leaving in the third period.

00:41Game 5 in Toronto.

00:43All Florida has done in the last four road games has scored 20 goals

00:50and sending everybody packing before the end of the game.

00:54I've never seen anything like it.

00:56Florida right now, you're talking about a dynasty.

00:59I don't even think they need to win a Cup right now to be labeled as maybe the best lineup in hockey

01:06of my generation.

01:08I think it's better than the Tampa Bay lineup.

01:10I think it's better than the Marsha and Patrice Bergeron lineup in Boston.

01:15I mean, all these guys are coming from the same division.

01:17Keep in mind that, too.

01:19Florida right now is an absolute juggernaut.

01:22No one can beat them.

01:23I think they held Carolina to under one full expected goal last night,

01:28which is the only game in the playoffs that's been like that.

01:30Carolina had chances in game one.

01:32I really thought Carolina could get a couple goals.

01:34I was on the over.

01:36It's tough to lose the over when the score is 5-0.

01:39But you just saw Carolina quit, and that's what Florida does.

01:43The longer the series goes, the more advantage that this heavy-hitting,

01:47four-line running, Bob Broski saving, I mean, even their defense is dangerous.

01:54There's just no weakness.

01:55You've got Paul Maurice behind the bench.

01:57This is about as perfect a team as you can make.

01:59And they're talking about Sam Bennett making $10 million a year.

02:02That's how important the difference is between regular season and playoff hockey is.

02:07Sam Bennett, 51 points in the regular season,

02:09and you're going to give him $10 million if he leaves Florida in another market?

02:13It's just, I mean, his value is incredible.

02:15He's the number two for constant, my thoughts, behind Bob right now.

02:19Yeah, no, it's, it's, the game's been blowouts.

02:21I mean, not even close.

02:22I mean, that's what's stunning here.
