GDT: Panthers @ Devils again? It's ok, I have Holy Water.

[I am not exposed]

Forget Grim.

let's talk Thornton. He was unreal tonight

In all fairness, he wasn't that bad. Lets give the guy a break.

I'm not a fan boy. I've admitted that he's not ready for the NHL, but he also has potential. But you seem to actively root against the guy and I don't get it.

I just explained why, i ask others if they can enlighten me.

Yeah agree it was probably the best game he has played in a long long time.

Thats what I'm saying.

He generated offense tonight

 

[RainingRats]

Great win. Jokinen and Pirri were awesome. Montoya was very good again. Entire team played well.

Knight is better than Bolland by a lot. His faceoff ability alone makes him an asset to this team. Shaw finally showing everyone on this team how you bury an empty net goal!

 

[prohockey]

Lines I'd like to see when healthy...

HBJ
Jokinen-Trocheck-Smith
Pirri-Knight-Bjugstad
Howden-Mackenzie-Brickley

Shaw is earning his place in this line up. It is a good problem to have with he and Brickley

Sorry, I thought you were being sarcastic.

 

[Givememoneyback]

He hasn't earned a regular spot yet. I don't think anyone disagrees on that. But, other than playing Brickley and moving Pirri to center, there aren't many options. If he doesn't show a bit more, he'll be sent back down when Bjugs or Mac are healthy (if not before).

 

[jagrgodr]

he technically generated offense, but i think a 60 year old woman could do exactly what he did out there, and i'm not even joking

 

[RainingRats]

Rocco isn't a fit but Tallon has his favorites and Rocco isn't the first or even second guy anymore. I think Rau deserves a chance but whatever, he'll eventually get a shot. Everyone else who has been called up has been great.

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

Que all the fb posts questioning why Montoya doesn't start more. Lu made more saves in the 1st vs NYI than Montoya all game

Yeah Knight has been way way over my expectations. Good 4th line grinder and faceoff king.

 

[GrumpyKelly]

bahahaahhaha just saw that Thornton breakaway attempt, doesn't get much better than that.

 

[RainingRats]

If he maintains faceoff king status and his 5 on 5 play is decent, he should never be sent down.

Heard good things about his faceoff skills before he was called up, and he hasn't disappointed!

And I agree, he has looked really solid out there.

 

[FLpanthers16]

7 out of 9 on the road and 8 of the last 11 pretty good imo.

 

[ShootIt]

Well, glad Knight is playing well for us after not wanting to play for us.

Nice to have young reliable depth

 

[GrumpyKelly]

Have the Panthers ruined hockey?

Yes I want the old, more exiting Panthers back

Can't stress this enough. Staying up all night for easy, disgusting wins ain't what i signed up for.

Lol.

As Soupyfin said in a previous thread, it would be funny if he signed longterm as our 3rd/4th line centre!

 

[Gizmo Tkachuk]

So many teams in both conferences are separated by just a handful of points. Can't afford any losing streaks otherwise we're suddenly in 12th place.

Might as well stop tuning in.

It is crazy, but performances like this give me confidence.

+1. As long as Barkov is happy and smiling, we're all good. Loving the effort on the road but we need HOME games like this as well.

 

[floridada]

Ah crap looks like I missed one hell of a game. Oh well.

Anyone who likes Star Wars has to go see TFA. Now.
