What worked, what didn't and what will be remembered
The first round series between the Florida Panthers and New York Islanders went 6 games, but almost 23 periods of hockey were played between the two teams, as Games 5 and 6 became double-overtime marathons. When Kevin and I took a look at the two teams coming into the series, one thing stood out, and that was parity: despite the Panthers division title in the Atlantic, and the Islanders slide into a wild card position, the two teams were darn near even in most categories.
