Panthers from Florida
After four games in the series, Florida “burns” Boston 1:3. The fact that with the current “Bears” it will not be easy for anyone was clear even before the start of the play-offs. But the hope that the “Panthers” will be able to impose a fight against the winner of the regular season still smolder. The team has a good set of performers in attack, and their opponent suffered losses, losing two top “mids”. But… Pantera bouncers… It’s just a real disaster! Only in one match (%) did the deflected shots exceed 90%. It has nothing to do with such stats in the playoffs.
Bruins from Boston
Boston had an outstanding regular season, setting a league record for most wins. This fact alone proves the seriousness of the Bears’ intentions. In the first round they deservedly won Florida, the team is unstable, it is true that they have a good line of attack, but they are completely unbalanced and judging by the results “without” goalkeepers. Even before the start of the series, few believed that Boston could “tumble”. And the course of the confrontation only confirmed expectations.
Forecast
In all games in this series, Boston celebrated an opponent’s goal three or more times. Even in the only game lost, the Bears upset the Panthers three times. And as the course of the matches shows, the further you go, the more hopeless the Florida team looks. Before the fifth match of the confrontation (the match will take place in Boston) the chances of victory for the guests are almost illusory. Boston will surely want to make it to the second round in this match. The visitors… It will be difficult for the visitors with such a defensive game and without a reliable goalkeeper in the squad.
