Fort Lauderdale — Leon Draiseitel Jump into the grill Sasha Barkov This play may define the first two games of this Stanley Cup Final, but the Florida Panthers and Edmonton Oilers have both taken more hits in the first two games.
They wouldn’t have wanted it any other way.
With so much at stake, both teams are throwing their bodies in front of 85-mile-per-hour slap-line shots right in front of the goalie, and then at each other.
This is the time of year when NHL players will do anything to win.
“It’s the Stanley Cup Finals.” Kyle Okposo “Obviously both teams are desperate to win and I think emotions are running high and building. I’m looking forward to Game 3.”

In the second game, there were big hits by Draisaitl and Barkov, Warren Fogel send Eetu Luostarinen spread, Sam Carrick Becoming closer Dmitry Kulikovand Aaron Ekblad put Evan Bouchard Buckled Up — This series hasn’t really started yet.
Like a coach Paul Maurice He said this is not a Boston series.
now that It was personal.
“Probably because of the intensity,” Morris said. “There was a fight during the pregame meal in that game. I’ve never been in a game like the series against Boston. … Both teams understand the value of staying out of the penalty box, so there will be some big clashes because of the intensity of the game.”
“It’s like a speed skating series. That doesn’t change. Of course, there will be some hits, but we don’t go out of our way to do that and neither do they. We’re not sending a message or creating an atmosphere. It’s what we have to do to win the match.”
After Draiseitel punched the Florida captain, some think Florida might go after the Oilers to get revenge.
That may have been the case last year.
“We got too distracted by running around in that series instead of focusing on winning.” Carter Verhaeghe He spoke about their loss to the Vegas Golden Knights in last year’s finals.
The Panthers found themselves in this situation before the playoffs this season, but for the most part they let it be.
That doesn’t mean they’ll be invited to join the choir anytime soon.
The Panthers are a very physical team and will drop their mitts whenever the situation warrants.
But it is not in their interest to impose silly penalties.
“I think it’s better for us to stay out of it,” Luostarinen said. “We just do what we have to do and let them try to do stupid things like that. We just have to be disciplined.”
