The Panthers have been listless out of the gate since Game 3, allowing the Oilers to take leads they don't relinquish. Florida's previous commitment to all-around defensive play is rapidly evaporating and leaves Sergei Bobrovsky vulnerable. Florida's special teams haven't been clicking, either. The Panthers stars are (mostly) nonexistent, and all the yelling from coach Paul Maurice can't shake anything loose to help Florida get over the hump.

Now, the Panthers are in a do-or-die position. And it feels like Edmonton is in far better shape to handle Game 7 better than Florida.

I don’t know how old the 🐆 are but “listless”, defense “rapidly evaporating”, the coach not able to shake them from it, all point to a team that is either gassed and doesn’t have anything left or is psychically “shattered”.
