* Ex-Cane Eric Staal (and his only brother NOT to play for us) * Ex-Cane Eetu Luostarinen * Ex-Cane Zac Dalpe * Ex-Cane Gustav Forsling (OK, he only played for us in a pre-season, fine) * Ex-Cane Alex Lyon (not since the Bruins series, fine)
And that’s just the players! Of course, Paul Maurice was our coach — TWICE — and assistant coach Tuomo Ruutu is, of course, another ex-Cane.

Can I not save this picture without Reddit adding stuff to it? It’s sick.

How do you think we match up? I didn’t see the reg season games

I’m worried about Bob and the Panthers players taking out our stars. Canes win this easily otherwise, but we’re going to see those things and it’s going to make this series a grind.

Not looking forward to this series. Partly because Bob is playing well and can steal games. But mostly because of their goon squad taking shots at our guys. Gotta be prepared for their bullshit.

Said it on another post but it bares repeating: Canes are faster and better defensively. Score early, score often and Bob is beatable. Physicality is the only real X-factor the Cats have, and I think the boys will answer the bell. I think the series ends in 6, but wouldn’t be at all surprised to see it go 7.

Not going to lie, I’m terrified
Leafs fan coming to show love and support for the best team left in the playoffs. Hope the cans and Rod the bod take it all the way!
Not who I wanted to play, but hopeful for another chance to send a big F-U to Paul Maurice
Can I get a preemptive fuck Radko Gudas?
I think the phrase “this goes hard” was designed for this image in particular
It’s been fun [watching the Panthers from afar](https://www.reddit.com/r/hockey/comments/13828np/playoff_game_thread_game_2_florida_panthers_1_0/jiwkqlo/), but, yeah, now it’s gonna be real:
* Ex-Cane Eric Staal (and his only brother NOT to play for us)
* Ex-Cane Eetu Luostarinen
* Ex-Cane Zac Dalpe
* Ex-Cane Gustav Forsling (OK, he only played for us in a pre-season, fine)
* Ex-Cane Alex Lyon (not since the Bruins series, fine)
