They are not close at all. Florida is wayyyyyy better everywhere.Florida is just a much better team than Tampa. I'm surprised people had this series going 6 or 7.

ERod got robbed
It was a dive. The Tampa players stick was nowhere near him. Or he just fell. Either way there is not much point watching when the officials aren't good enough to officiate a street pick up game.Eetu isn’t the diving type but it was a soft call

Nah that’s about right lol
they were bad last year too. Lost a lot of people and are too soft now.Tampa always seemed to have that dog in them where they wouldn't ever quit. I expected them to beat the crap out of the Panthers physically and go down clutching and grabbing worst case.
I think it is a combination of nothing to play for anymore given they won so not much desperation and aging players
Each knows the other has a dangerous power playBoth teams know how much of a marathon it is to go deep. Could see some early restraint being at play.
They’ll hate each other by the end of the series.
Missed call, but not a dive. I think they knocked skatesIt was a dive. The Tampa players stick was nowhere near him. Or he just fell. Either way there is not much point watching when the officials aren't good enough to officiate a street pick up game.
He’s going to take frustration penalty soon.Kucherov has 4 or 5 horrible giveaways already.
I'm not ready to write Tampa off, but it's difficult for any team to stay on top for more than a few years. Three deep runs in recent years, two Cups, now Stamkos and Hedman getting older, plus Sergachev out to start the postseason. Doubtful they can dig deep enough to beat a very talented Panthers squad.These teams do not appear to be of the same ability

Did we meet at the blood vortex?Caaaarrrrrllllll, that kills people Carl
True! They had their moment and they used it. Even before their Cup-runs they had one Final series and some really good regular seasons. I have nothing against Tampa but I hope Panthers win. I hope my countryman Barkov wins the cup. They have the team to do that.I'm not ready to write Tampa off, but it's difficult for any team to stay on top for more than a few years.
