Montour's chirps, comedy keeping Panthers loose heading to 2nd round
Brandon Montour is funny, his Florida Panthers teammates and coach say. "He's funny, he's just funny," Paul Maurice said last week. No, this is not a scene from "Goodfellas," rather a look into one of the several reasons why the Panthers are finding success in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. "He is a critical piece to the fabric of our team," Maurice said.

Do Lightning seek revenge, or will Florida continue bashing Kucherov?
It was late in the third period Saturday night and the Lightning were on a power play with a 5-3 lead. Nikita Kucherov and Panthers defenseman Brandon Montour were battling for the puck when Kucherov fell with Montour leaning on his back. Except, on his way down, Montour very obviously shifted his stick, put all his weight on Kucherov with both skates off the ice and gave a cross check to the back of the neck that knocked Kucherov's helmet off. 1. Remarkable that game officials decided it was merely a minor penalty.
