GDT: Panthers at Oilers: How are we still Winning?

[FLpanthers16]

Montoya is 5-0-0 in his last 5 starts and has only allowed 1 goal in each 5, so yeah Montoya is the Montoya we all hoped for.

 

[Jean Luc Discard]

Sounding like D.Cherry here but this team is similar to Oil when it comes down to protecting their best players. Campbell just offers a crosscheck for Hendricks as a retaliation. That's just pathetic. However, good for Bjugs to step up but that's not his role on this team. We need "proper levels of pugnacity, testosterone, truculence and belligerence".

 

[PanthersHockey1]

12 wins in a row. 12. Remarkable. We aren't even clicking On all cylinders. We have the best 1st line in the league.

 

[FinlandPanther]

Montoya is 5-0-0 in his last 5 starts and has only allowed 1 goal in each 5, so yeah Montoya is the Montoya we all hoped for.

Even I couldn't have hoped he'd be this great.

 

[GrumpyKelly]

Hopefully the physical game woke the team up a bit and they will come out better next game

Man i don't even want to imagine what Thornton would have done to Hendricks if he was on the ice. He would have flipped.

What? Did you watch the game?

 

[LUUUUUIS]

I was listening to the Edmonton feed. Their broadcast team was rediculous talking about the hit on Ekblad as payback for Guddy's hit on Hall.

 

[Jeff Shafer]

5 wins away from tying the league record. the 92-93 Penguins had 17 and Jagr was on that team too!

edit

Most amazing stat of the night? Panthers had zero power plays.

W T _?

 

[EnforceTheLaus]

The Cubano is evolving


The Cubano has evolved into...The Cuban Embargo

 

[Prominence Problem]

Notice how quiet Hall was after the Gudbranson hit. He was a force before that.

Same shift, Hall stays on the ice, gets the puck in his own corner. Curls toward the net, then turned and saw Jagr right in his face. Gave the puck away in the front of the net.

Looked pretty scared, even though Jagr curled away.

What a baby

Honestly yea there are a couple players who would never jump anyone (campbell, barkov) but it was really nice to see Bjugs, Shaw step up. I don't think our team is as bad as the oikers at protecting guys

 

[Bobblebee]

How did we win??? A W is a W but idk how we are keeping this streak alive

 

[flomarilius]

I want to purchase club red tickets right behind the Edmonton bench... and just talk all night.

Usually you find ways to win games like this when you are on a streak like we are so yeah thats all i can think of.

 

[IM Clutcm]

Gave thumbs up after the Ekblad hit.

Gif/video, anyone?

 

[Jean Luc Discard]

What? Did you watch the game?

Yes. Did you? Other than Thornton, none of them don't really offer a similar threat as Lucic, Brown or Nolan. Even Petrovic was like "Do I really have to?"

 

[flomarilius]

Here is one thing I noticed about tonight's game regarding our lack of shot attempts. Edmonton is a team that plays fast, always has been. The D was not pinching much in our zone and we looked like we were willing to hold neutral ice in exchange for chances on net. I don't think the team played horrendous, they were defensively responsible and Edmonton got maybe 1 or 2 unclean break-away chances if memory serves me correctly. Good win that had to be gutted out. With a lot of the no calls that could have led to PP chances, this game could've easily been 4-1. On to vancouver

We should be better with the puck and generate more offensive chances. Edmonton is one of the worst defensive teams in the league. However, I agree they were defensively responsible. Edmonton didn't get many second scoring chances, it didn't look like they got many high quality scoring chances. I'd bet it was even, we may have had more. They got lucky Hubs missed the empty net after we shut down their 4 min PP.

 

[Fern111]

Okay listen. I know we're most likely not going to reach #17 but what an amazing storyline would this be for Jagr.

To tie his record he set with people like Mario Lemieux, Ron Francis and more with this young team. Nothing else than 22 seasons later with the Florida Panthers?

That is literally the NHL's wet dream right now.

 

[Prominence Problem]

My 3 stars:

1. Petro
2. Montoya
3. Bjugs

 

[EnforceTheLaus]

That will leave a mark.

 

[FinlandPanther]

You said they didn't stand up and protect. This team stood up and didn't back down and I'm hell of proud as a fan for that.
