Eastern Conference First Round: (1) Florida Panthers vs (2) Washington Capitals

[Swarley]

Florida in 4

[marsid6687]

Caps in 7. Bobrovsky’s shakey post season history ends epic regular season performance.

[Bramuin]

FLA in 6. Goal tending steps it up for the CAPs, but it is not enough.

The guys on TSN ruined it for me... they compared this Florida team to Jumbo Joes President Trophy winning sharks...and now I am scared.

But my heart is all in it for these guys - cheering for Giroux and Thornton big time.

But my vote has changed from Panthers in 4 to Panthers in 6

Caps in 7

Ekblad confirmed back in the lineup

And Vanecek confirmed for the Caps.

[Grapes]

Jumbo Joe and Giroux in 6. Could be lots of goals in this series depending on which Bob shows up. We already know Washington doesn’t have a Vezina candidate in goal.

[PenguinHunter]

Ovy is officially in for tonight.

[hockeyrobot]

Time to score some goals Florida.

[CAN-AM Commish]

Wow, I am rather surprised at the outcome of Game 1.

[2014olympicgold]

Florida got to used to coming back I think.

[PenguinHunter]

Wow, I am rather surprised at the outcome of Game 1.

Yes me too. I didn't watch a lot of the game.. but at the times I watched Florida appeared to be dominating the play.

No love for the Caps? Looking great out there. Reminds me of their cup team a bit.

I think this is more about Florida than Caps. Florida could not defend all season but they just scored 6 plus to counter that….this formula is not very good in the playoffs. I voted Caps in 6.
