Florida Panthers are right at home on the road.
Defending Stanley Cup champions are 6–2 as visitors in the playoffs in this spring after a 5–2 win against Carolina storm in the final opener of the Eastern Conference on Tuesday. He will see on Thursday to maintain that success in Game 2 in Rale, Neck.
Florida’s coach Paul Maurice said, “We do not feel different in the house in any way than being on the road.” “I think this is because they like each other. They live together on the bench. It’s a large part of playing on the road because you are in an emotional deficit. Every time your rival shoots to the rival house, the crowd goes crazy!
“They are constantly strengthening positives that you are not getting from anywhere else on the road. It can calm down on that bench on the road many times, if you give it, I think the emotional energy comes from the players to the players.”
Panthers are scoring NHL-Best 4.75 goals per game on the road in this spring. Their 2.25 goals are second in the league behind the average storm, who allowed more than two goals in a game once before the result of Tuesday.
The panthers have found a lot of production in Postsen with Eetu Luostarinen (13 points; four goals; four goals, nine aids) and Brad Marchand (12 digits; three goals, nine aids). Eight players on their roster have hit double points in points.
“Our depth has been incredible throughout the year, especially in the playoffs,” the center Sam Bennett. “Every line shows all our defense, (goalkeeper Sergei Bobrovski) – This has actually been an entire team’s attempt every night. It becomes very easy when you move every man forward.”
Meanwhile, the storm, a 13-game conference will be looking to get out of the final losing streak, which is in the dates of 2009. Nine of them have come to the rudder since 2019 under the coach Rod Brind ‘Mor.
Each of the last five has come against Florida, which was swept away in 2023.
“We repeatedly go on how we are going to make more scoring opportunities and leave less,” Bindmore said. “This is the game. That’s what you are trying to find out. Pay attention to the details and not giving them for free. For me, we have given two free games. You remove those people from the board, now we are in a game. That is what we just have to find a way to do.”
The first goal of the game is the first goal of the things they want to do. Carolina is 5–0 when it is Postsen when opening the scoring and scoring the first goal of 3-3.
“I thought the first period, in particular, we created a lot of opportunities, especially on the crowd,” said Seth Jarvis further. “Eliminating some of them will be a different game, but it comes with you to finish them. The possibility of scoring is one thing, putting capital on them is another, but you have to get the possibilities.”
They know that they should be better on special teams after going to 1-for-4 on power play, a tally that came 5–1 in the third with Florida. Two goals are allowed on three occasions permission to kill a stellar punishment usually.
