Florida's last playoff appearence was in 2000, where in a strange sense of irony, they were swept by the Devils who went on to win the cup that year.

Anyways... Cats in 7... The Panthers have a great tendency to stick with teams and that can pay off in the playoffs, there's also no shootout in the playoffs..
Are you implying that the Devils couldn't win those games if it was 20 min sudden-death OT's?

Florida in November would take this one. Unfortunately it's April now. NJ takes this easily. Cheers.

The Devils are not afraid of a physical series. Their team toughness is pretty good.

If there's one strength the Panthers have had this year, it's been goaltending.

Such a breath of fresh air seeing the Panthers in the playoffs. I got NJ winning in 5, but I'm rooting for the Panthers.

Against the Canes, he has. Even if he has lost the last 3 series we played, he matched Cam Ward's play for the most part.

I'm not sure you've been paying attention to the Devils' offensive numbers this season. The scoring is potent.

I voted for the Panthers in 7. I think that's overly optimistic..but given the team has basically become the Southern Hawks I thought I'd cast a vote in their favour.
