Bobrovsky pulled, other stars struggle as Panthers fall behind 2-0 in Stanley Cup Final

Associated Press  

LAS VEGAS — Two games into the Stanley Cup Final, the Florida Panthers look like an 8 seed for the first time all playoffs. I don’t think it’s about scoring goals in this series because I think it’s about defending the rush, and we weren’t great at that tonight.” The Panthers allowed an average of 2.6 goals through their first 16 playoff games, but have been lit up for 12 in the first two of the final. Vegas’ 12 goals match the most by a team through the first two games of the Cup Final since the NHL expansion era began in 1967-68. “I think that going home and playing in front of our amazing fans and the momentum we’ve had playing there like the last month and honestly since January, we’ve been a solid home team, and we’re going to need them and hope to come out in Game 3 playing our best hockey of the season,” Tkachuk said.
