The Carolina Hurricanes breezed through the first two playoff rounds this season, but the Florida Panthers have been too tough to tame so far.

Sixteen teams in total make the NBA playoffs, eight teams from both the Eastern and Western Conferences. The top six seeds in each conference advance based on the regular season record. The final two seeds in each conference are wild-card spots based on the best remaining records in each conference.

Everybody’s scoring for Florida. Nobody’s scoring for Carolina. In simplest terms, that might be the best way to describe the first two games of the Eastern Conference finals between the Florida Panthers and Carolina Hurricanes.

After two lopsided home losses in the Eastern Conference Final, the Carolina Hurricanes need to figure out what’s ailing them, and fast, as the series shifts to Florida.
