The Panthers dispatched the Lightning in five games, and did so in a way that almost no one (except Colby) expected. There’s a lot to break down in how they did it, how it was made easier by some unfortunate injury luck for the Lightning, and much more including:

4:00: How did the Panthers win this series in such quick fashion?

11:45: The true series MVP: Sylvain Lefebvre

16:00: Luostarinen-Lundell-Marchand was dominant

21:00: Special credit to Seth Jones too

27:15: The Lightning were really, really banged up! It doesn't make sense for them do to anything too silly.

37:00: The Selke Duo

41:15: Panthers/Leafs series preview, covering all angls

50:00: The Leafs X-Factor: Matthew Knies

59:30: The rest of the playoffs

1:09:00: Mike Sullivan to the Rangers
