NHL, Leafs and Panthers
Digest more
The NHL playoffs have already provided a fair share of players reaching another level, but for some high-profile names, the spotlight's not flattering.
The NHL on Monday indefinitely suspended Florida Panthers executive Doug Cifu from any team and league involvement for “unacceptable and inappropriate” posts on social media.
The Toronto Maple Leafs look to take a commanding 2-0 series lead as they play host to the Florida Panthers in Game 2 of the NHL Eastern Conference Semifinals.
Going back to the start of the 2023 playoffs, no goalie has more wins, saves or shutouts than Bobrovsky — who backstopped Florida to the Stanley Cup Final in 2023, then to the Cup title last year and now has the Panthers in essentially a best-of-three series for a spot in this season's Eastern Conference finals.
When the shot came, Sergei Bobrovsky was ready. It didn't matter what had happened in Game 1 or Game 2, didn't matter what had happened in the first period or last season's Stanley Cup Playoffs. This was the moment.
