Post-Game Talk: Powerplay continues to struggle but Panthers down Sabres 3-2 in OT

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

Is me making the threads the key to success? Will it be post game talk x 16 Leafs vs Panthers in June? It probably has more to do with the terrible teams they're facing. I think the main thing I'll be looking for is a sign of life for the powerplay. There are a couple interesting stories today, Bruins next 2 games are in Pit and in Wsh, 2 teams that need a win much more. The Bruins need at least 4 points from their final 3 games to control their own fate for first. Meanwhile Toronto can still take home ice from Florida. The Panthers need 1 point from their last 2 games to ensure home ice round 1 (maybe they should throw these 2 games?)

We only need 1 point to clinch home ice

Or if Toronto loses one point

Me too so add my 10 against to the list.

20-3 Sabres. Rodrigues hat trick to cut the deficit to 17-3. The other 3 are Sabres empty netters.

I would like to see the Battle of Florida return, so I am hoping that Boston loses today, the Panthers win, and then we can somehow make up one more point on Boston between today and Tuesday.

Don’t get the PP jokes: we all know that the PP only began hitting once Swaggy was out on it and he’s out

Our pp even before he got hurt has been meh past few weeks

Gonna chalk that to not really trying/everyone being sick

 

[Gentle Man]

The PP died when teams took away the butter lmao

Guys. Cream cheese or peanut butter are good options too

It was 1 for 18 the last 7 games he played lol

I also think the PP woes are related to Swaggy. But not just him being out, but when he was in, not utilizing him enough.

Why is Tampa so good on PP? All their players are a threat AND they make use of them. Point in the middle, Stammer on the left, Kuch on the right. I think Reino, Swaggy and Barky are good approximations of them, although admittedly not quite at the Tampa level. And at the point, Hedman is better than Monty. But down low by the goal line, Tkachuk is better than Paul.

Still, the two PP units are similar enough that I think our problem is more utilization than lack of skill, compared to Tampa.

Kompon is a idiot
He can only come up with one change per season
Fire him now

 

[Prominence Problem]

Hopefully the team comes up with some new looks on the PP before the Toronto game, so they can see before playoffs.

Wonder where theyll have these

Like the design better than the other one

 

[Gizmo Tkachuk]

Love the logo

 

[PSLguy]

Don't know what the weather is like in your area but it is an absolutely beautiful day here in Florida. By me, it 77 degrees with a slight breeze and not a cloud in the sky!

 

[floridada]

lmao when the hell did they add those panther statues? Ive been to so many games this season and never noticed them

 

[Idiot Stick]

Whats our record with goldie on the ice?

 

[KW]

Cousins always has this incredulous look when he has a chance and doesn’t score… my face has the same expression when he does score

 

[Felidae]

It's been a while since first shot first goal
