No drug or drink can replicate the feeling Panthers fans must have had leaving that arena tonight after shutting out the defending Stanley Cup champions 4-0.

There's something special about this team when they are focused and motivated.

I love it.

 

[TheImpatientPanther]

Need Tro to get going, 1 goal/point in his last 9 games.

 

[Gentle Man]

Just win. Same effort tonight. Same result. Guaranteed

I haven't been able to watch much of any games this season, aside from the visit to Raleigh.

How has Bjugstad looked coming back from injury?

 

[EnforceTheLaus]

Per GR Luongo gets the start.

Like Rotisserie Chicken

 

[Howboutthempanthers]

It is kind of cool though. Tampa Bay and Florida, on top of a NHL division.

 

[Gentle Man]

Really surprised to see Lou back to back. They want this one eh

 

[IM Clutcm]

How has Bjugstad looked coming back from injury?

I thought he looked great with Howden and Shaw last night. Very dangerous and a lot of speed with those three guys. He's been rusty as expected since coming back, but improved each game and I think he's about 85% back to his old self.

 

[PBPantherfan]

Nice GDT need to replace Kramer's head with Bjugstad's.

Surprised Lu is starting B2B Montoya has been good not his fault the team got turnover happy against the Oilers. Looks like Thornton is back in the lineup tonight which a few weeks ago would have had me in minor meltdown mode, but he's actually looked like a decent hockey player the last couple of games he's played.

 

[Bobblebee]

I hope Montoya can stay strong today!

 

[Bobblebee]

Nevermind that comment, I hope Luongo can stay strong today!

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

It is going to be a good crowd tonight

 

[Ghoste]

Win the special teams battle boys! I want to see us score at least two power play goals tonight. It's been a long time coming.

He was just up as an emergency in case someone got injured last night, we'd have him ready for tonight's game. I'd imagine Mitchell will be ready for Tuesday.

He also getting PP Time

I agree about Thornton. He has done a serviceable job on the 4th line

Nah he cant be ready by then. He is on IR which means he will be out at least 7 days. IIRC

 

[batting1k]

The Panthers were forced to send Olsen back. CBA states you can only have an emergency recall if you don't have at least 12 healthy forwards and 6 healthy defensemen. The fact that all 6 D played yesterday means they're healthy and Olsen can't stay up.
