I tried to warn everyone last time, this version of the Florida Panthers is simply built different.

Playoff hockey brings out a whole new beast in this team.

They remind me of the early 2010s New England Patriots.

But once January rolled around, nobody wanted to face them.

Thats exactly who the Panthers are right now.

Its not just skill its attitude.

Theyre straight up fucking bullying the Lightning every time they hit the ice.

Of course, having Nate Schmidt suddenly playing like the best goal scorer in the playoffs doesnt hurt.

No clue lol).

The highlight of last nights 2-0 win didnt even come during play.

That moment says everything you better know about this team.

No egos, no distractions just laser focus and a bully mindset.

This team doesnt get too high after a win or too low after a loss.

Theyre steady, locked in, and ready to go to war every night.

Thats Florida Panthers playoff hockey hard-hitting, unrelenting, and being a bunch of savages.

Theyre not just trying to win, theyre trying to send a message.

And right now, that message is loud and clear: we want the cup.
