00:00And with a dominant performance in Sunrise a night ago,

00:04the Panthers certainly looked a part of that reigning Stanley Cup champ,

00:08and maybe the present one as well.

00:10An impressive and decisive victory, DRS,

00:13to take a 2-1 series advantage over the Edmonton Oilers in game number three.

00:186-1 the winner for Florida,

00:21who scored multiple goals in each of the three periods,

00:24including opening up a 2-0 lead after the opening 20 minutes.

00:30Sam Bennett tickled the twine for the third consecutive game in this series.

00:35Florida's leading scorer throughout this playoffs

00:37in the entirety of the Stanley Cup postseason now has 14,

00:42and Florida has a 2-1 series lead over your Canadian team,

00:47who committed 21 penalties last night, DRS.

00:50Are you flustered by what you saw out of the Panthers in game number three?

00:55You have a 35 total penalties.

00:56And also understand this, when the game starts to get out of reach,

00:59that's when guys start to take liberties, and the refs understand that,

01:01and they start to call penalties, and that's really what happens here.

01:03But absolute, you know, ram job, I should say, from the beginning,

01:06because here's what happens.

01:08You get into your own building.

01:09What do you want from an opposing team?

01:11I need to quiet this crowd down

01:13and eventually start to turn this crowd against its home team,

01:17which means score a goal or two early, take the crowd out of it.

01:19That didn't happen right away.

01:21And my goodness, like Brad Marchand,

01:22he doesn't know he's going to retire or not retire.

01:24The guy's damn near the best player on the ice

01:26on a night-to-night basis in the playoffs.

01:28It's just what he's done throughout his entire career,

01:30and he gets the part he started with scoring within a minute of this game

01:33to really set it on its edge.

01:35A 6-1 final, which was really surprising to me,

01:38but you know how you make it a 6-1 final,

01:39give up a goal in front of the first minute here

01:41and let that crowd get into it right off the bat,

01:432-0 by the end of the first period.

01:45Even though you got an Edmonton goal right away to start the second period,

01:49they're back in it on the power play.

01:50It just wasn't enough, too much firepower for the Florida Panthers last night.
