Can the Panthers finish their story after falling just short in 2023? Here are the club's biggest trends so far, along with a look at what's ahead.
The Panthers weathered an early push by the Rangers in Game 6, and dominated from there, winning the pivotal clashIt's been the Panthers' hallmark in this series to control the third period and they did so again by hemming New York in their own end and preventing the Rangers from establishing any offensive zone time.
The Panthers are a physical team and that manifests in how they challenge an opponent's man advantage. Florida is aggressive and smothering at turning skaters back at the blue line, and making them work for open ice. Discouragement sets in on the other side. The Panthers have drawn a line that says: if you're going to beat us, it'll be at even-strength. And that's an advantage all to itself.
They've won four games when trailing after the first period. And Florida has already won six one-goals games en route to another Cup Final. The Panthers possess a killer instinct that every comer they've faced has been hard-pressed to match. It goes back to Florida's all-around confidence in their identity, system and structure. There's an ingrained belief that when they stick to that -- whatever the score -- it will, more often than not, lead to a good result. It has many times already.There's the deadly top-line skaters who can single-handedly shift the trajectory of a period .
But there's also a potential for firepower between the Stars and Panthers. Dallas is averaging nearly three goals per game in the postseason, same as Florida . And those power plays -- Dallas is at 21.4% -- could be a problem for either group if they were to re-ignite in a big way.
