Someone on Twitter just posted this. Crazy flashback, had hope in this team, especially after the first couple games. Came down to the last few games, the Canes dove, Eddie the Eagle took flight, got called for it…we know how it went from there. Still, that was with injuries to Nieuwendyk and a couple other guys, including an “injury” to big Bert.

nice to be on this side of things with the Panthers today, though.

It would be just so Panthers if we lose this game.

Speaking of expectations, I got a crazy off the wall prediction for you guys.

I think we do win the cup, but not with Quenneville as the coach

 

[WaitingForThatCab]

The only reason to predict a Panthers loss here is if you're a battered fan accustomed to being let down.

 

[radkison]

We are scoring 410 goals this year and going 72-10 to be honest

not a chance




we're going 82-0

Interesting, and not entirely unreasonable.

Are you thinking that this season doesn’t go great (either don’t make playoffs or bumped in first round) and he’s either axed or on a short leash, we falter again beginning of next season and he’s fired (like St Louis) and then Knight and Barkov lead us to the cup?

 

[Gentle Man]

Me to people here when they start panicking after a slow start

I think we flounder a bit till Thanksgiving or Christmas and Zito decides to make the change and we take off like the Kings did in 2011. Q wasnt a Zito hire after all.


That or Q gets canceled after more stuff comes out from the Blackhawks stuff.

It’s a long season ladies and gents, bound to be ups and downs. Getting off to a hot start would be nice, but let’s try not to go into panic mode if it doesn’t happen.

Loser talk

This guy gets it

 

[Gentle Man]

Acciari got surgery and is rehabbing. Take advantage of the LTIR

 

[Little Bobby Boo]

I think we'll crush them if they're without Crosby. Expecting something similar to the Philly opener couple of years ago.

I remember that game so well. I was working at an OHL team arena during college sharpening skates.

So much hype that season.

This sadly is entirely reasonable. If that’s the case though maybe DMack fills in?

Q is the highest paid coach in the league

No way we fire him unless its a real dumbster fire

That video is still one of the funniest sport related things I've ever seen. I watch it at the start of every season lol

OJ the CB. I always laugh because when Olli says let’s roll, they all just nod their head like, whatever. Haha

They killed Boston right off the hop and got all the fans on board. Then Todd's back gave out 7 games in and whole team went s*** house.

 

[5 Hole]

Do we know exactly what the injury is?

 

[PSLguy]

Nope. It's hockey, they rarely say what the injury is - upper body.

 

[CoolioFunk]

So excited for the first game, should be a great season!

 

[FinlandPanther]

Very excited to see Lundell’s progression as the season goes on. Living and learning from Barkov is going to take his game to the next level.
