Isles in 4 for me. Would have loved to see Florida turn into an elite team this year but they're not even close.
Takes the isles a few games to get defensive system firing on all cylinders. I think they need to at least get a split after 2 games.

NYI in 5, but this could go either way...not sold on either team.
No one seems to care too much about this one, but unsurprisingly the Isles look to have a stranglehold on it. Now the question is do they sweep their next series, or get swept?

Florida had some chances to keep it closer but they kinda packed it in once isles scored 4th goal.
It’s not over til it’s over
The old saying in hockey playoffs...you are not out of a series until you lose on home ice. Florida returns home for games 3 and 4.
Not sure if that really applies this year.
Yeah, even though Florida has last change the next two days, it won't help them a lot against a team like the Isles. I don't think they can beat them in three straight unless Bob suddenly reverts to Vezina mode.

Do we see a 2nd dose of fist pumps (previously handshakes) today?
I am gonna say no, and that Florida is able to find a way to win today.

And i feel for the fans of these teams.. they are getting the Blue Jays playoff treatment.
They played yesterday afternoon and have to play again this afternoon.
Why aren't the Penguins/Canadiens or the Oilers/Hawks getting an afternoon game today. Especially when they didn't play yesterday.

Game 3 Game time prediction -
Florida Panthers with their backs against the walls come out strong and take an early 2-0 lead (2 goals in first 5 minutes) and end up winning 3-1.
