Panthers Broke Through In The Opening Minute of the Third To Take a 1-0 Series Lead

Locked On Panthers - Daily Podcast On The Florida Panthers

On today's edition of the Locked On FLORIDA Panthers Podcast, Armando Velez(@Mandoman12) is joined by Florida Panthers Historian Francisco Oporta(@fjojr and @FLACatsHistory) to break down the Panthers' 3-2 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning to take a 1-0 series lead. The Panthers controlled play for the first 15 minutes of the game where the Cats didn't allow the Bolts to easily get through the neutral zone. Game one didn't bring a lot post-whistle, despite both teams combining for almost 100 hits. Panthers played a disciplined game where they only went to the box twice on the night, where Tampa Bay got their when it was too little too late with 9 seconds left in regulation. Cats went into the third period with over 1:30 left on the man advantage, where they converted just under a minute into the frame on a beauty of a backdoor feed from Aleksander Barkov to Carter Verhaeghe to give the Panthers a 2-1 lead at the time. Sergei Bobrovsky was not tested much on the afternoon but saved his best for last, especially with less than 5 minutes left. Panthers were able to get to the inner slot area to make Andrei Vasilevskiy work for his saves. Aaron Ekblad played in his first game since April 2nd, where he had a key block toward the end of the game. We discuss our three stars, when we thought the game was won, and how impactful the crowd was for game one at Amerant Bank Arena. Jon Cooper also spoke to the media and discussed what the Panthers did to make them go away from their game plan. Barkov was the best player in all three zones as his line outshot the opposition 8-2 at 5-on-5. We discuss this and more on today's edition of the Locked On FLORIDA Panthers Podcast: Your Team, Every Day.
