Post-Game Talk: Ekblad Hears the Call of Gentle Man.

[Gizmo Tkachuk]

Just gotta wonder how people can even think we are referee favored lmao

Because Gregory Campbell is our assistant GM and George Paros played here for 20 games

 

[Gentle Man]

Really unfortunate we slumped.

Went from playing Washington to now Tampa/Toronto

That's a steep increase in difficulty

 

[KW]

So remaining games are
4/1 at tor
4/2 at mtl
4/4 at ott
4/6 at bos
4/9 ott
4/11 cbj
4/13 buf
4/16 tor

On paper, we should go at least 6-3-0 but that may not be enough for first in the Atlantic

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

Lmao

This was on r/hockey.

New to hockey, question
This is my first season watching hockey and I’ve gotten really into it. I live in Michigan so yes I’m following the red wings, and I just have to ask do the panthers play dirty? I’ve never seen another team pull the same type of stunts that they do

Some of the responses:
Oh ya the Panthers are the scummiest team in the league right now

When Ekblad grabbed Debrincats legs and swept him onto his back after the play was called, I was like … wtf


Yes they do and everyone hates them for it. They're the most penalized team in the league by far. Their whole game plan is to just play dirty and try to piss the other team off so much that they start getting penalties too. It's not hockey, it's playground bullshit.

I like how he makes it out like Ekblad just grabbed Debrincat for no reason and dumped him.

Meanwhile Larkin is diving all over the ice but that’s a GOOD CAPTAIN! f*** out of here. I’m glad we ruined their playoff chances.

Thankfully we just need to tie them as we win the tie breaker. Way better RW which is the deciding factor. If we can’t get the presidents’ trophy then I at least want the division title. Any time we can add accolades like that it’s a great thing for the franchise. They’re not easy to get. Took 19yrs to win our first divisional title and Toronto since our inception has 1 division title and that’s it, compared to us who are up to 3 divisional titles, a presidents’ trophy and 2 conference titles. Adding a 4th divisional would be special. At least for me it would be

I'm surprised someone hasnt called Barkov the dirtiest player in the league already

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

Bruins going to OT, that's new

I hope when the playoffs end and Barkov lifts the Cup, the rest of the league will be whining about what a dirty mofo Barky has become.

Especially Toronno, Baston, Noo Yawk, Vegas fan tears would be awesome.

They were calling reinhart a goon a few times on there, lost cause on that site

Winnepeg also on the same losing streak we were on

Bruins win the shootout.

 

[WaitingForThatCab]

I'm just glad we got a home win today.

 

[Idiot Stick]

I'm just glad we got a home win today.

Nearly took us 3 weeks to do that

 

[TotalHomer]

Glad I missed this one. I would've been shouting at the tv so hard.

 

[WaitingForThatCab]

To all the Wings fans reading this forum and crying about our posts here:

Enjoy the loss, your team f***ing blows and you only got a point today because of a black and white gift.

 

[Gentle Man]

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm

 

[WaitingForThatCab]

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm

I've 100% given up on this guy, so I'm happy with anything like this.

 

[Gentle Man]

No context post.

Thoughts @Debrincat?

 

[Panthers Propaganda]

R/hockey is where brain cells go to rot and die.

Good to see knight doing well too. I know his season hasn’t for the most part so I’m hoping he’s actively improving and developing well. I don’t have any expectations for him at this point, he really should’ve been marinating in the ahl and grow there with a couple years of consistent starting. Jumped the gun way too early, I know bob’s play was kinda to blame for that but now with Bobby playing really well these past 2 seasons and hopefully continues that’ll allow knight to get more work in the ahl. Or we’ll see what happens from a cap management perspective, but that aside it’s good to see. Good for him

 

[austropanther]

Lorentz and Luostarinen most noticable last night - which is good for them, but not a good sign for the rest of the team. 2nd line complete no show. Bob was good.
