Florida Panthers co-owner Doug Cifu predicted his team will beat the New York Islanders in a series that he says will last only five games.

"Cats in five," Cifu told me on my show this afternoon on 940 WINZ and iHeartRadio.

"If you look at all the experts ... everybody's picking the Panthers, so there must be something to it," Cifu added.

The Panthers and Islanders begin their best-of-seven series tonight at the BB&T Center in Sunrise, FL.
