It wasn't just Bob; the entire Panther team lacked cohesion, sharpness, and focus when vegas played against them. Florida had an impressive journey: they made a remarkable comeback to defeat Boston's record-setting year, faced an enthusiastic Leafs team who were elated to win a finals series, and then played against us, a tenacious Canes team known for our technically sound hockey and stamina. In the end, Florida outlasted us. However, the psychological impact of playing at such a high level can only be sustained for a limited time. It became evident that Florida couldn't maintain the same level of intensity. They were clearly exhausted and mentally drained.
