Leafs have a porous D. Should be an entertaining game! Hope Bob can make the important saves!

Ferraro had an interesting point about goaltending. Paraphrasing but basically he said that maybe time for paying a goalie big time money like Price and Bob are getting now is over because the league has done everything to make scoring easier for years now. Goalies just can't be as impactful or dominant like before and aren't worth the money. Scary thought but makes kinda sense.

Biggest game of the year, both teams well rested. Which panthers team will show up?

 

[pb1300]

Maybe Ill get a GDT up tomorrow, if its not taken already.

He is absolutely right.

No team in the nhl has more
Points than the pens since Crosby got injured. So saying we can’t beat good teams still is
Incorrect. Like it always has been .

Interesting Pysser isn't in the mix after scoring last game.

That is true imo. You gotta keep the focus on which players tend to have the most impact based on the role. I'd rank the most player roles: center, defenseman, goalie, winger. A top notch center department and an above average top4 can cover a lot of deficiencies with the goalies and wingers.

@GermanPanther I’ve never seen a guy get scratched after scoring a goal!

 

[RainingRats]

Bob hurt in practice/left ice early. Tbd if he plays tomorrow

Bob haters rejoice!

Shocking!

 

[Howboutthempanthers]

That was some pretty good technique.

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

No Bob is a blow but need him healthy for the road trip. Hope Driedger is solid and cheer for Tampa tonight.

 

[batting1k]

That’s usually what we look like out there, just waving our sticks around

That was a good One. Jayce get his Chance to proof he can do it the same Way. Not every team in the League has a Defensman scoring more Goals on 4th Line then the forward.

In a way it might be better Bob doesn't play tomorrow, they seem to play better defense in front of D, and that might be a better formula against the Leafs' lethal offense. Especially because this team is Jekyll and Hyde from game to game. I don't trust them to play well defensively again, and they didn't even play that well defensively against the Canucks. They mostly shot themselves in the foot and turned the puck over a lot to us.

 

[floridada]

I hope there's like 20 goals tomorrow.

 

[Boothinator]

If anyone really wants to feed Driedger to Leafs is crazy... He has been good no doubt. But the Leafs Offense is crazy scary. I think Bob would shine with a few saves

Nonetheless I think it will be back and forth

I would love to have Hawk back in but Pysky should stay in

It will force the team to play good defensively in front of Driedger

That's my point

 

[Ghoste]

Already seeing big game talk. That means auto loss. Haha Guess I'm sticking to watching football tomorrow.
