After 82 regular-season games and three rounds of the playoffs, the Stanley Cup Final begins Saturday between the Golden Knights and Panthers.
It is time for me to stop underestimating the Panthers. Florida has not played since May 24, a key for the freshness of goalie Sergei Bobrovsky, who has posted a .935 save percentage in the playoffs. While rust could come into play, this team has the makeup and mindset to turn on the switch by Game 1. Matthew Tkachuk has been a beast, Aleksander Barkov is a force at center and Aaron Ekblad and Brandon Montour are stalwarts on defense.
They have allowed fewer goals per game in the playoffs than the Panthers , limiting potent Edmonton and Dallas attacks the past few rounds, preventing Game 7s with impressive closeout victories on the road. Golden Knights goaltender Adin Hill even has a higher save percentage in the playoffs since he got into the lineup than the red-hot Bobrovsky. The Panthers have made me look like a fool for picking against them, no doubt; but the Golden Knights have, too.
