I will get banned again soon, worry not.
Tell me again about how "clutch" isn't a real thing. If Matthews and Marner had an ounce of.wjat Tkachuk has, they'd be in the finals right now.
Tkachuk is clutch, full stop.

Hey Jesperi.. How many games did it take Florida to win the ECF against your Canes team?
Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of jerks!!
LOL “Rock you like a Hurricane”
0-12 in consecutive ECF…..that’s establishing a “choker reputation” if I ever saw one…

They weren't suppose to suck this season....they finished 1st overall last season...so the talent is there. They have great depth, very balanced 4 lines.
They are very good...and on top of that, they finally got elite goaltending (which they lacked last year in playoffs)....
Should be interesting matchup with Vegas in the Finals....i guess Bettman is happy...

Florida got two major changes this year that is paying off in the playoffs:
1- Tkachuk over Huberdeau. One's showing off to be the envy of the league as the premier power forward in hockey, while the other plays, like Sal always so eloquently states, pousse caca hockey.
2- They hired an actual coach that instilled actual structure. Last year, Florida was all too happy to play run & gun hockey, with defense being voluntary. It's not a coincidence they got rid of their coach.
Bobrovsky playing like an elite goalie definitely helps, too.
I think Florida's magical run comes to an end against Vegas, though.

Combo of both , luck and bounces are always part of the equation
They have the pieces to win a cup but underachieved for years and played soft
Bobo is finally looking like the goalie they expected

I wrote that I had expected more from Tkaczuk in the Leafs series, after hearing so much about the way he had played in the Boston series. I was actually more impressed by some other Panther players.
In the series against Carolina though, I can see it.
