"You look back and it's the difference between teams in the playoffs. It can go either way. But you have to go in with the mindset that we're getting those two points.'' - New Panthers forward Peter Mueller

[fieldset=Primary Target]

The Staal brothers, finally united (well at least 2 of them) on the Hurricanes after a big draft trade that sent brother Jordan from the Pens down to Raleigh. As they're both centers, they won't play together very much except maybe on the powerplay. However, now that Jordan is finally out of the shadow of Crosby and Malkin, he can live his life-long dream: to be under the shadow of his brother, Eric.​

Amazing job on the GDT as always PR. Hope I can get tickets for the game! This will be exciting as hell.

 

[Vilam]

Feels good seeing this Can't wait!

More like that last picture please.

 

[LUUUUUIS]

A banner goes up! Divers go down!

As always, great GDT! GO PANTHERS!

 

[floridada]

Great to finally see a GDT again!

 

[SoupyFIN]

It's been too long. Not that I could have been here if the season went normally on, but still.

I'm gonna go with Huber for the 1st goal. Skinner dives a penalty, just as Huber is about to be released from the box, Campbell blocks a shot and breaks Huby lose on a breakaway. Rest is history.

 

[harv33173]

GGGGGGOOOOOO PPPPPAAAANNNNNTTTTHHHHHEEEERRRSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!

Can't wait to see the 1st powerplay with Hubs somewhere in the mix! Powerplay is going to play a huge part in who makes it to the big dance.

 

[Android 16]

How many lazy penalties are we going to see since many guys on both sides aren't quite in mid-season form yet..

 

[Egblad]

Lets Go Panthers!

Stoked to see Huberdeau and Mueller. Going to be fun.

Aside from that, I hate to say that I had a dream last night, and we lost 7-1.

Yeah...

 

[Ghoste]

Going to predict that our new Captain Weiss nets the first goal and Parros drops the gloves with Westgarth just cause.

-ghoste

 

[Jeff Shafer]

Going to be in section 111 row 28! See everyone there! Are we tailgating? cause I sure know I am!

 

[BeezKnees]

I'm voting Mueller.

 

[Laus723]

No idea where I'm sitting, Rattrick has that info, but I'll be there for warm ups. Look for the 4 eyed bald guy in a Laus jersey. Not sure if I'll be in my red or blue yet.

We should pick a meeting place.

Yeah...

Dream? Sounds more like a nightmare.

I doubt either team could win 7-1. I think it's going to be 3-2 or 4-3 or 2-1.

Something like that..

On a side note.. Man I wish Guddy, Goc and Bergy were healthy..

I want to see Gud or Parros smash Eric Staal right in his smug face.

"That's gold Jerry, gold"

Can't wait to be there tomorrow!

This is not an option. WEAR RED.

First time posting, long time lurker. Will be there Saturday wearing the Red Jersey. Got my wife into hockey last season so she's just as exited as I am. Can't wait to see that banner get raised!

Per George Richards ‏@GeorgeRichards
And if Dmitry Kulikov signs and passes physical, he plays for #FlaPanthers v #nhlCanes ... Mike Weaver got hit in head, concussion symptoms



But, Petrovic was sent back, so..

Soup Kuba
Jovo Kuli
Strachen Ellerby

If Weavs isn't ready to go.

Don't forget we have Strachan as well. More than enough D to cover spots. The talent drop off however...well that's another story.

 

[FlaPnthrsPunk]

It's so great to see a GDT again! Only 30 1/2 hours until the puck drops and we see that banner raised! I absolutely can't wait!

I really like this team with Mueller, Huberdeau, and a healthy Guds, Goc, and Bergy. We dont have that superstar forward, but if we can get Goc and Bergy back soon, we can roll out three lines that can score. We arent gonna be a top scoring team, but we should be able to hold our own if we can stay healthy.

Welcome dude, love the display pic!

Looking forward to a quick start to keep the home fans loud and into the game.

Really don't like the divers. I got $20 says Parros gets into a fight with someone to break in the season. I guess Westgarth is his only option, IF he is playiing.
