Cats Crumble
Knights 7 – Panthers 2 Last night was another disappointing effort in net, with more misconduct penalties earned, and if Florida does not turn it around at home they will become the 21st team and the first team this century to be swept in the Finals.
The Knights played another solid defensive game blocking over 40 shots and offensively scored twice on the power play with Mr. Marchessault and Mr. Howden both scoring twice.
Mr. Tkachuk laid an awesome helmet-popping check that caused a stir as the recipient left the game but was on the bench for the third and contributed an assist just a couple minutes in so thankfully Mr. Eichel and his neck seem to be fine.
Leaving desert temperatures in the 90s and arriving in the 70s with rain the series resumes in Florida this Thursday evening at 8pm EST.

My husband says the Florida Panthers have had as many penalties in the first two games of the Cup Finals as they had in the entire Maple Leafs series. Mr. Tkachuk’s 10-minute misconducts certainly did not help his team, imho. If I have any free time today I would like to watch HC Paul Maurice comments after the game because I am curious.
