"Fiery Postseason Reminiscent of Panthers' Computer Boys Era"

Jonathan Marchessault's success with the Vegas Golden Knights is a reminder of the "Computer Boys" era in the Florida Panthers' management, which included a group of data-driven analysts and scouts. Marchessault was signed to an inexpensive two-year contract by the Panthers, but was left exposed in the expansion draft and eventually traded to Vegas. The move was seen as an effort by former Panthers GM Dale Tallon to put his stamp back on the team, even if it strained the team's forward depth. Marchessault and Reilly Smith are now one win away from a Stanley Cup championship over their former team.
