Panthers Dominate in Game 1 Win vs. Hurricanes _ NHL on TNT Postgame · Bleacher Report

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: But I want to talk about that play because you know,
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: we talk about things that may carry over, may not,
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: and Paul Maurice has been very big on the sheet
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: clean next game emotions might be something to carry over.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: So this was interesting displayed between Brad Marshawan and Shane
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Gaspare Marshan trying to hit him, trying to get into him.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: You see it right here, got scared?
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: Does it like?
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: It's what do you make of that? Is this one
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: of those things that just isn't done. I think they
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: bought that eye right out of guy.
• 0:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's retaliation for Marchie taking and run
• 0:31
  Speaker 4: at him. I think it's obviously a little bit more gutless.
• 0:33
  Speaker 4: You don't normally see that type of thing. I mean,
• 0:36
  Speaker 4: obviously there's risk involved with the fact that if that
• 0:38
  Speaker 4: gets up higher, it could catch them in the face,
• 0:40
  Speaker 4: maybe get them in the eye if it sneaks under
• 0:42
  Speaker 4: his advisor. But hey, the game polices itself, and for
• 0:46
  Speaker 4: the rest of the game, given the fact that they
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: ran up the score, Florida is getting their lickings in,
• 0:50
  Speaker 4: and I would imagine that it continues to continues to
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: go that way the rest of this series. Man and
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: they got guys who are able to deal with that.
• 0:58
  Speaker 5: I don't think it's going to forget that one. Marshen
• 1:01
  Speaker 5: is that going to run around looking for him. But
• 1:04
  Speaker 5: if there's an opportunity to lay him out, I think
• 1:06
  Speaker 5: he's going to try to do so.
• 1:08
  Speaker 6: And you know, Hank, at the beginning of any series,
• 1:10
  Speaker 6: you take some heads of the snakes, you try to
• 1:12
  Speaker 6: nibble away at them.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: And I think for gossip.
• 1:14
  Speaker 6: Bear, he's a guy that he did try to get
• 1:17
  Speaker 6: a couple of extra hits later on, he didn't Edzoe
• 1:19
  Speaker 6: said that he didn't have a stick on the ice
• 1:21
  Speaker 6: going towards a play that potentially went to the front
• 1:24
  Speaker 6: of that It did go to the front of the net,
• 1:25
  Speaker 6: It did end up in the net, and he was
• 1:27
  Speaker 6: looking for a little bit of a hit.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: Late in the game.
• 1:29
  Speaker 6: So I think if you're Florida, and I'm not sure
• 1:31
  Speaker 6: if Carolina can beat this systematic team anyway, now that
• 1:34
  Speaker 6: you see this now af they're game one, but I
• 1:36
  Speaker 6: think they're like, okay, well there's number four check. You know,
• 1:39
  Speaker 6: will Chatfield come back? That would certainly help them because
• 1:42
  Speaker 6: I think Scott Morale is a tough position to be
• 1:45
  Speaker 6: in and he fell as he just he had a
• 1:47
  Speaker 6: tough night against a great hockey team that knows exactly
• 1:50
  Speaker 6: what to do against an inexperienced defenseman.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: If Chatfield can't come back in, do you go back
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: to Nikishin? Yes at that point, yes, because he just
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: played the one game, came over from Russia. Thought he
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: was okay Knicks results. But what we heard from Rod
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: Brindimore before this game was new system, new guy. It
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: almost just felt like against Florida in Game one, I
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: kind of want the tough one. Yeah, I kind of
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Maybe I just trust with the system a little bit.
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: More, but I understand the reasoning. I would just personally
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: go back to Nikisha, and he just seems like a
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: bigger presence out there as well, could probably handle his
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: own against a big forward group like Florida. I know
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: it'll be a very difficult situation for him, but as
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: it was Moro tonight, I mean it was tough, right.
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: He screens his goalie on the one, maybe a late
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: late come over on that that quick three on two
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: and then a tough slide with the Miko la backhand,
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: and then he goes puck over the glass for another one.
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: So a very forgettable night. But hey, man, who am
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: I to talk? I was a plug, so I can't
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: be I can't be too critical of the guy. But
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: they really they really turned it up on him, and
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: I was actually shocked at the fact of how strong
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: they got through out the course of the game, given
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: the plaque, the fact they played Sunday and Carolina was
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: just their waiting at home home and should have had
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: tons of energies.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: Get too much time off maybe.
• 3:04
  Speaker 5: But hard, I mean the key that and as your
• 3:07
  Speaker 5: practices needs to be so good when you start looking
• 3:10
  Speaker 5: at four or five sometimes six days off, the intensity
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: in practice needs to be so high, otherwise you're shocked
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: that first game back. And also if you're as a goalie,
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: you're into a rhythm stutter here. No, but it's just
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: you know how hard you have to work to get
• 3:27
  Speaker 5: game ready mentally, but when you're playing, you're in it.
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: And then you sit out for four or five days,
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: it can sometimes have a negative effect.
• 3:34
  Speaker 6: Actually, and then Hank, you start the game off great
• 3:37
  Speaker 6: for Carolina's point of view, You start the game off grade,
• 3:39
  Speaker 6: you're hitting, you're jamming, you're not getting that many.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: Shots on Bobrovski.
• 3:43
  Speaker 6: First goal goes against you on home ice, second goal
• 3:45
  Speaker 6: goes against you, and then you get some great pressure
• 3:48
  Speaker 6: against a really good goaltender, and all of a sudden.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: Now Bob's ready to play.
• 3:51
  Speaker 6: I mean that you're on home ice, you're the goaltender,
• 3:54
  Speaker 6: you're down. Now the visiting goaltender that's a legend already
• 3:57
  Speaker 6: is standing on his head.
• 3:59
  Speaker 5: It's a fee It was feeling it, and we talked
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: about this off camera, just how Florida's power play really
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: stepped up. They scored at the right time in this
• 4:08
  Speaker 5: game against the best PK in the league in the
• 4:12
  Speaker 5: playoffs so far. They just they had answers for almost
• 4:16
  Speaker 5: everything tonight. It was an impressive performance. I thought Carolina
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: I was in it, but Florida just somehow they managed
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: to score at the right time to kind of kill
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: the momentum.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: Seen this movie before.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Florida two for three on the power play. We
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: talked a lot about in the pregame, can anyone's best
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: match or beat Florida's best And it doesn't look good
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: for that to happen. Right now. Florida looks very strong.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: Cardiver Hagey part of that mission for this team, and
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: he spoke with Jackie.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: Rebin, Carteriver Hagey, Congratulations on the Game one victory on
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: the road. Just forty eight hours ago, you guys were
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: wrapping up your second round series against the Maple Leafs.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: You said this morning you kind of like only having
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: one day off because it doesn't give you any time
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: to think about anything, and that appeared to to be
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: the case. What can you say about the effort tonight?
• 5:02
  Speaker 7: Yeah, it was a great effort. I think the special
• 5:03
  Speaker 7: teams played a big part of it. We're really good
• 5:06
  Speaker 7: on the PK and got a called power play goals,
• 5:08
  Speaker 7: which are huge. But I like the way you came out.
• 5:11
  Speaker 7: I think there's still some areas that we want to
• 5:12
  Speaker 7: clean up a little bit, and it's a completely different
• 5:14
  Speaker 7: game against Carolina that it is Toronto. But we like
• 5:17
  Speaker 7: their effort and we'll take the win.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: I got a hell of a stat for you. This
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: is your fourth straight postseason with five or more goals.
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: The only other player that can say that right now
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: was Leon dry Sidle. What is it about the playoffs
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: that brings out the best in Cardiver Hagy?
• 5:29
  Speaker 7: Wow, that's great, Statt, I didn't know that, but yeah,
• 5:33
  Speaker 7: the games are emotional, it's a rivalry usually rivalry game
• 5:37
  Speaker 7: and playing against the same team and you're going ahead
• 5:39
  Speaker 7: to head against guys and it's so intense. And you
• 5:41
  Speaker 7: got to love the playoffs growing up watching the game
• 5:44
  Speaker 7: and you're not watching the regular season games, you're watching
• 5:46
  Speaker 7: the playoffs and it's just a ton of fun out there.
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: Did you have a favorite like playoff performer as a
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: kid growing up?
• 5:53
  Speaker 7: I think Jonathan Days. I loved watching the Chicago the
• 5:56
  Speaker 7: Chicago runs, it was unbelievable, and many others.
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: One more question for you. The depth on your team
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: has been so clutch. I mean the bottom six, the
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: fourth line has really made an impact throughout these postseason.
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: What works? What is it that they do so well?
• 6:11
  Speaker 7: Yeah, we have such a great team and it's all
• 6:14
  Speaker 7: four lines, all sixty two goalies. I mean, we're such
• 6:18
  Speaker 7: a deep team and everyone has every kind of line,
• 6:21
  Speaker 7: has the identity and we try and play do it
• 6:23
  Speaker 7: every night. And yeah, you see every night it seems
• 6:26
  Speaker 7: like a different line stepping up and scoring big goals
• 6:29
  Speaker 7: and making plays, and that's kind of our mentality about it.
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: This is actually my last one. I lied before because
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: AJ Grier just told the boys something about a rooftop pool.
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: You don't have to get on a plane tomorrow. You
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: get to say in one spot, how will you rest
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: before game two? Is he going to their rooftop full
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: Apparently that's the word on the street.
• 6:44
  Speaker 7: Okay, maybe if I get the invite, I'll join them.
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: All right, thank you for this congress again on the win.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Thanks Shackie, Thanks Carter Hey as Hank will
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: tell you Sunscreen guys, Yeah, sunscreen, get the big show up.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: It's unburned for the next game.
• 6:57
  Speaker 7: All right.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: It is big business presented by body Armor and it's
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: that power play.
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Hank a Luther Greg too. Before we went to
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: the Verhggy interview, I thought it was a masterclass. I mean,
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: the zone entries were very clean. They clearly had a
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: game plan coming in about how much Carolina does like
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: the pressure. They won their battles below the goal line,
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: and when they took away up top, they worked that
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: goal line play. Ka Chuck and bark Off, great chemistry.
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: We knew he was going to be a factor. And
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: on the second one, you know, they get sustained pressure
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: and at a certain point Carolina is so tired over
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: a minute in zone they can't go as fast and
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: closing you as quick. What happens, Bennett rolls up top,
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: they get NetFront presence and he just throws a sifter
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: in and beats Anderson. So very very impressive. Best penalty
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: kill all season long in Carolina, and they expose them.
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: Yeah, the key is really execution and quick passing early
• 7:46
  Speaker 5: on because Carolina put so much pressure and we saw
• 7:49
  Speaker 5: them do it against both teams in the first two rounds,
• 7:52
  Speaker 5: but tonight they faced a team that had that Chris
• 7:55
  Speaker 5: passing early on that led to opening for them. How
• 8:00
  Speaker 5: a pressure you need to put together two three really
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: good passes, stick the stick, keep this speed up otherwise
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: Carolina is coming after you, and they killed the momentum
• 8:09
  Speaker 5: right and they'll do a great job, Hank.
• 8:11
  Speaker 6: If you're swarming and a swarming team and put that pressure,
• 8:14
  Speaker 6: you're going to leave an open man for just a
• 8:16
  Speaker 6: split second. And the calmness I saw with the Florida
• 8:19
  Speaker 6: Panthers when they get the puck, they're calm, they settle
• 8:22
  Speaker 6: it down, they make a play, and I didn't see
• 8:23
  Speaker 6: that on the other side. I think there were some
• 8:25
  Speaker 6: moments where they were in a hurry to make a
• 8:27
  Speaker 6: play when maybe they had a little bit more time,
• 8:29
  Speaker 6: but I thought to meet your orlov of the defenseman,
• 8:32
  Speaker 6: they couldn't afford an effort from a veteran guy. I
• 8:35
  Speaker 6: didn't think he was at his sharpest on the PK.
• 8:37
  Speaker 6: I thought he left good ice for bad around the net.
• 8:39
  Speaker 6: He turned it over, came back in front screen the goaltender,
• 8:42
  Speaker 6: so they could do some better performances, especially without Chatfield
• 8:45
  Speaker 6: in the lineup.
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I can understand that bump in gas. Yeah, the
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: bump play over to Jarvis. I can understand it, just
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: a little bit too much on it, and Jarvis can't
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: get there in time, and they're able to hold in.
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: But when he ends up getting over to the other side, it's,
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: you know, that split second I had citation any goals,
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: then the other guys like and then so everybody's hesitating
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: and that's just not their jam.
• 9:06
  Speaker 6: Breddie Anderson saying, can I see one of these? Yeah, yeah,
• 9:09
  Speaker 6: let me see one of these playing.
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: But credit to Florida, Like that's what makes them so lethal, right,
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: they have the play up top, and if they're not
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: being given that and it's not there, they can work
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: it down below. And we talked about Kachuck being that
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: non factor, like he was great when he had to be,
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: especially around that area, and that's where he killed them.
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: Last time these two teams played two years ago, so
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: Owen thirteen in the last thirteen in the Eastern Conference
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: Finals for the Yeah Hurricanes.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: And we scored fifty two twenty two.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: Rod Brenda Moore. Now Owen nine is a head coach
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: in conference finals. And this is not like two years ago.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: Those were all one goal games. First one was a
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: four overtime game. Just bottom line here we look at
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: sometimes teams dropped the first game. It's not pretty and
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: you think, you know what, Okay, now the big deal,
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: a few adjustments and will be just fine. Is it
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: more serious than that? Do you think for Carolina?
• 9:56
  Speaker 5: Well, again, their big strength first two rounds kind of
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: a let down a little bit, gave up two on
• 10:03
  Speaker 5: three opportunities. Tonight they need to come back to what
• 10:08
  Speaker 5: they had the first two rounds because if Florida they're
• 10:10
  Speaker 5: really good five on five, but on top of that that,
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: if they're scoring on their power play, it's going to
• 10:16
  Speaker 5: be a tough series for Carolina.
• 10:18
  Speaker 6: They got away from their game a little bit too,
• 10:20
  Speaker 6: but they pushed back and they wanted to make a mark.
• 10:22
  Speaker 6: They're going to take a chunk, almost old school like,
• 10:24
  Speaker 6: we're going to try to take a chunk. But at
• 10:26
  Speaker 6: the same time to start the next game, I think
• 10:29
  Speaker 6: you've got to control all delete this one.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: You got to play hockey. You've got the last change.
• 10:34
  Speaker 7: You know.
• 10:34
  Speaker 6: There's a lot of things that the Carolina Hurricanes will
• 10:37
  Speaker 6: improve on and have to improve on, especially in creating
• 10:40
  Speaker 6: more congestion against the goaltender.
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: Blebroski. Now they did bump them. They bumped him a
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: few times.
• 10:45
  Speaker 6: He didn't get radially a nice little conversation with her
• 10:47
  Speaker 6: referee Kelly Sutherland. I liked his composure, and I'm sure
• 10:50
  Speaker 6: that they'll be warned as well, so maybe it'll be
• 10:52
  Speaker 6: a little more delicate area right.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: There around the crease.
• 10:55
  Speaker 6: But listen, they didn't leave without spirit in the night,
• 10:59
  Speaker 6: and so I give them a lot of credit for that.
• 11:01
  Speaker 6: But this is a well oiled machine in the Florida Panthers, and.
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: They got more game breakers and they did their job
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: tonight when they got their opportunities. It was in the
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: back of the net. I really like to start for Carolina.
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: I really really was impressed about how they matched. If
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: not in some cases in the first surpass the physicality
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: for Florida, I think that balanced out, if not went
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: Florida's favor towards the end. But they are going to
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: get their grade a's and I think that they're pretty
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: close as far as high danger tonight, But Florida closes
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: so quick in that slot area and when they get them,
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: so they're going to have to capitalize on those few
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: opportunities they are going to get, and they just didn't
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: do so tonight. I could look towards the stank COVID
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: one in the first period, there's a few other chances,
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: so making sure they try to get the lead and
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: capitalize off the few that they're going to get
