"We were trying to make plays when there weren't any." That sums of this game for the Panthers.
Безалаберная игра Флориды против слабого соперника……зачем отдали Спенсера Найта, он тоже уже мог быть двух кратным обладателем КС, а не какой то Ванечек…..Даниил Тарасов играет хуже Найта…….в конце когда последнюю шайбу забили, пантеры так безучастны были, Форслинг ближе всех стоял, даже не попытался защитить ворота! Ужасный матч для котов!
A great deal of the game was spent "The Panthers have the puck in their own zone, and they can't get it out". I didn't see good break out passes.
