Post-Game Talk: Panthers lose again but clinch playoff spot for 5th straight season

[zeroG]

another game where we aren't even in the teens in terms of shots late in the second period. that's a sign we are not on our game.

it isn't officiating...

 

[Gentle Man]

stolie outside the crease.

it was the right call.

we need to stop crying about officiating. we are being beat because we are not playing a sound game. we are trying to make pretty plays on the rush. shot selection isn't great, retrieval isn't great. we're one and done and our opponents are the ones doing the grinding.

His whole left skate and side was inside the crease what?

You really have to wonder if we’re intentionally sandbagging or have just completely forgotten how to play.

Stolarz needs to start channeling some Billy Smith energy.

Prob both cause of taking it easy, gonna take a while to ramp it up again

Love Goldie's passion but he's a big homer. Would definitely be annoying for opposing fans. Heck, it's annoying for some Panthers fans.

There’s been physical play around the net. But when the G is out of the crease and there’s incidental contact, it’s not an automatic penalty.

And maybe the announcers should know that.

 

[Desert Panther]

The reffing in this one has been borderline criminal. It does make a significant difference when the standard for a penalty is different from one period to the next. Add to it that only one team is being held to that standard and you get this fiasco.

 

[Panthersfan1989]

Not physical, getting pushed around. Lazy. Same shit since the streak ended. Gonna limp in to the playoffs.

one skate touching the blue paint won't do it.

I'm watching the isles feed (because, of course...) and at first, they thought it was coming back. but after multiple looks, including from the back side, you could see stolie was almost entirely outside the paint. AND he fell back to try and sell it.

I think it was the right call.

in any event, this is not winning (or panthers) hockey.

1 skate?

I’m sorry but if you think going against the grain to be “white knight” of goalie interference is the play then LOL. We have seen plenty of goalies out of the crease still get the call for much less. Horrible call for league standards.

 

[Chessarmy]

I love how we all hate Goldie but are still roasting this Isles fan. TBF Goldie is actually right today, incredible there's been no calls.

I love Goldie. Yeah, he’s a homer - but he’s our homer and a damn talented PBP.

whatever. he was sliding and a half second later, it looked different.

do you really think this is that important? Is this why we're going on 1-5-1 in last 7? it's not officiating. it's our game. let's come to grips with it.

He's a good PBP. He's awful when he forgets he's a PBP guy, which is all the time these days.

 

[Mogo]

Gonna be short playoffs if we continue to play like this

You can see they’re not playing with the same fire. They’re gonna ramp it up when the games matter.

The team playing bad doesn't mean the league has to also be bad at making calls.

 

[WaitingForThatCab]

The team's poor overall home effort since the ASB is one thing, but the go-ahead goal right now was the direct result of Sam Bennett being tripped directly in front of the net while playing the puck, and then the guy who tripped him clipping the goalie. It's worth complaining about if we're gonna complain about stuff (spoiler alert, it's a message board, we complain about stuff)

 

[Chessarmy]

The officiating AND our play can both be bad. That’s what is happening tonight.

It wasn’t G interference. The missed call on Cizakas is another debate. Probably was valid. But the challenge on G just wasn’t there .

I very rarely complain about the refs and bringing up the last 7 games about this call is irrelevant

They are losing because they look bad

A bad call is a bad call

Bally didn’t even post the Kuli interview lol
