Florida panthers know that this Toronto Maple Leafs will not eliminate easier.
Eventually, the Florida Stanley proceeded 4–5 in the Elimination Games in the last season to win the Cup.
Panthers will get the first opportunity to get Maple Leafs out when they meet the Eastern Conference in Sunrise, Fla in Game 6 of the Second Round Series on Friday.
The panthers have won three in a row to seize the 3–2 lead in the best chain, recently out of Maple Leafs 6–1 in Toronto on Wednesday night.
“I am not a big believer in motion,” said Florida’s coach Paul Maurice. “The series is closer to your view.”
The panthers have scored this Postsen to 17 different players, Los Angeles Kings were also 17 in 1993 since 10 games through 10 games.
“They are fun stories for our room when (AJ) Greer becomes one, (Joah) is one with Gadjovich,” said Maurice. “Because they work hard and they do not come on magazines, they are not in front of it, but it is special when they score on the bench.”
Florida is also getting the best from goalkeeper Sergei Bobroveski, especially in the last two matches, when they have combined to allow just one goal.
“Countless times, time and time again, he makes those big stops for us,” the panthers said Sam Renhart. “At this time of the year, you need a stop at those times.”
Overall, Bobrovesky has 7-3 points in 10 playoffs, which starts this spring with a 2.46 goal-average and .899 save percent, which is compared to its regular-seasons of 2.44 and .906.
“I think Sergei is always available to come in a drain,” said Maurice. “Their preparation does not change; they have no idea about their figures.
Bobersky has caught Auston Mathews, the best scorer by Stonewell Toronto, without a goal in the last five matches and without a point in the last two.
Mathews want to maintain all negativity in the past.
Matthews said, “The only thing we can do is is again organized and reset and go out and we have to win a game to keep our season alive.” “This group has faith, of course. We are capable of bouncing back the whole year and it is no longer separate.”
Before Wednesday, Toronto was not defeated by five goals or more since the loss of Buffalo Sabers on December 21, 2023.
Maple Leafs bounced back from the disaster to defeat the Columbus Blue Jacket 4–1, two days later, an attempt they expect to repeat on Friday.
“I felt that (Game 5) was really the first night that we did not answer well or did not play our game,” said Maple Leafs Forward Mich Morner. “When you do this against a team there, they are going to pay you, and that is what they did.”
Toronto coach Craig Beerub said that the responsibility of blowout loss in game 5 is shared by everyone, incorporating themselves.
“There were mistakes, a lot of mistakes,” he said. “Mistakes occur in sports, but this is the way they (in Game 5) that is more disappointing than anything.”
Maple Leafs goalkeeper Anthony Stolarz, who retained the upper body injury in Game 1 and missed the last four matches, skating for about 20 minutes on Thursday morning, but will not go to Florida with the team.
