"We just have to play every game like it's our last game, like a playoff game, and that's what it's going to be, I think,'' Kovalev said.

[fieldset=Primary Target]

Craig Anderson, the former Florida Panther really helped make a name for himself in Sunrise and when caught in a bit of a goalie controversy, the Panthers elected to stick with Vokoun, which sent Anderson off to Colorado. He would have success there at first but soon found himself in Ottawa and last year back in the playoffs. His underrated stellar play is the reason the Panthers have yet to beat him in regulation.​

[fieldset=Red Hot Cat Of The Night]

Jonathan Huberdeau, the 3rd overall pick in the 2011 draft, made his rookie debut in style, scoring 3 points en route to victory.​

Hoping for a victory and another nice game by Kovy, Theo & Hubby!

But it's gonna be a tough one

 

[adam graves]

Ottawa fans:

We know your history with kovy and your particular lack of pleasure with him;

we have embraced him for his one year contract and will make our own conclusions.

Thx.

 

[adam graves]

Kudos on a bread Gdt!!!!

47 playoff games left....should be a good one!!!

 

[MintyFresh88]

Seems like we struggle vs Ottawa in general, especially on the road. Hopefully we get at least a point out of this game.

Hopefully Kovy trolls Sens fans and those beer swilling reporters with a big game.

And hopefully Andy doesn't troll us like he usually does.

 

[Laus723]

Love Andy, can't stand the Sens, bout time we turn around the win-loss record.

@FlaPanthers: The #FlaPanthers have recalled center Drew Shore from the @sarampage & have placed winger Kris Versteeg (lower body) on IR.

Damn

Just made a thread on this,sucks. Guess Santo is gonna be having a seat.

 

[SoupyFIN]

Feels like I'm still hungover from the last game. Good lord.

 

[Hodgy]

Hey guys. What is your first and second PP look like? Thanks

 

[Android 16]

Tarasenko is making Tallon regret not drafting him..

3 goals and an assist in 2 games and the 2nd game is only in the 1st period.

Bjugstad and Howden better be worth it.

Could've had Huberdeau and Tarasenko in our future..

Yikes..

 

[floridada]

Always dread the games against the Sens. Seems like we never match up well against them at all.

 

[Benched]

Haven't gone 2-0 since 05. Make it happen!

 

[Catsfan7]

Great gdt as always, lets keep a high pace tonight, and be hard on the puck carriers. Lets send them and their free beer home sad. GO PANTHERS!!!!

Could have had him over Bjugstad (we traded down to get Jugs)...but not Howden. Howden went well after Tarasenko did.

True story: They (the Panthers, for their website) interviewed me at the draft party after we made our picks. They asked me if I liked the picks and I said no, that I wanted Fowler (instead of Guds) and Tarasenko (instead of Jugs) It obviously never aired haha

It's early yet, so who knows how it turns out.

Howden and Jugs were picked behind him, and several teams are sorry I'm sure.
