[flpanthers10]

Been looking forward to this game as it can hopefully get us back on track. Looks like a nice crowd tonight too. GO CATS!!!

 

[CHGoalie27]

Nashville really pulled one out for us last night…need to take this one.

 

[Big Bjugs]

I expect this to be the game everyone was hoping for vs Colorado. There are 0 excuses to not win tonight.

 

[PSLguy]

Need 2 points tonight!

We'll be there tonight, hopefully the crowd is a little more enthusiastic!

 

[EnforceTheLaus]

Don't care how, just win.

 

[oOwlCat]

I'll be at the game tonight with my gf and a few friends. They better pull this one out!!

Also, I went to the Panthers Live event at WoB in West Palm last night. Told Gallant that he needs to put Jussi or Bjugs at the point on the PP. His response "errr maybe later in the season."

It's not looking good boys hahaha

 

[GrumpyKelly]

I can't take another loss. All systems fail if that happens. Need a Barky hatter.

2 Fasth 2 Furious is starting for the Oilers. Lost 9 straight.

 

[Android 16]

Not to be nit picking, but our home record really needs to be better. It doesn't look that great compared with legit playoff teams. The teams in the top seeds.

 

[Big Bjugs]

I'm getting drunk for tonights game and we usually win when that happens.

 

[LUUUUUIS]

I can't take another loss. All systems fail if that happens. Need a Barky hatter.

Summoning all my hatter powers...

 

[LUUUUUIS]

And this.... we could use all the good juju we can muster.

 

[spacemanatee]

i swear if we don't get a win..

 

[barkovcanfinnish]

I can't take another loss. All systems fail if that happens. Need a Barky hatter.

A hat-trick of assists would work too

 

[I am not exposed]

I'm getting drunk for tonights game and we usually win when that happens.

You should get drunk more often!

 

[Big Bjugs]

You should get drunk more often!

I would if I could. Just got to convince my better half

 

[GrumpyKelly]

And this.... we could use all the good juju we can muster.

Church of Barkov wielding hatter powers, I like our chances tonight

Being a HS school coach and broadcaster ... I'd have NO problems with Coop or Richards asking that question. Mention Bjugstad played the point on the PP in NCAA w/Gophers, and was one of the most if not most dangerous option back there in the country in his Soph/Jr seasons.

A fan/parent etc approaching a coach. I see why , but it's not effective trust me.

 

[CatscratchFever]

Imperative to win this. That is all.

 

[adam graves]

Lets do this.

Would love to see coach be a little malleable a litttle creative. especially on pp. 4 O men barky on point etc.


dont be like the previous coach who stubbornly kept flash on point.

dissapointed no trochek as well, would love to see bolland make a fool of me.

 

[Effe]

Its nice to be important, but its more important to win this game.

 

[batting1k]

Would this be out first must-win of the season?

Yeah definitely, obviously I wasn't expecting him to take the request seriously haha.
