The Panthers won Game 3 in wild fashion on Thursday night thanks to the ability to battle back and the horsepower of the Lomberghini.

Not a ton to think about going into Game 4. In fact, I think the less thinking and more reacting that they do, the better they’ll be.

The defense HAS to tighten up while the team as a whole needs to keep the overall pace up. Florida must use their speed to keep Tampa off balance.

Combine the above with rolling out the same lines/combos as Game 3 (keep Yandle scratched let Bob start) and these guys have a real possibility to even this thing up - especially if guys like Barky, Acciari, Duclair, etc., can start activating more (c’mon, boys!).

As it’s been with all three games, the Cats can’t allow the Lightning to play their game and control the neutral zone and middle of the ice in front of Vasi.

Oh! Not giving up five goals in a period will also help…
