Aleksander Barkov has been on fire, scoring 6 points in his last 5 games (at least one in every game), a point streak that ties Radek Dvorak for most ever by a Panther rookie.​

Gonna be a good one. I remember the refs giving us a hard time though last visit. Hope we can dodge that and be the better team! The habs are gonna be looking for revenge.

This starts playing in my head whenever we go on the PK or the PP..

 

[Benched]

Keep the B line rolling. Price always gives us a hard time. Gonna need a good effort from Tim too. Have have scored 13 in their last 3.

god that is bad.. lol

 

[iam76]

you know what.. tonight i am going to play the benny hill music each time the cats go on a power play tonight.. i will see if it helps

 

[ShootIt]

Hopefully Barkov and Bjugstad use their size to their advantage tonight.

 

[GrumpyKelly]

Barky with the hatter tonight finally.

Other than that it's hard to predict what's going to happen, Montreal is probably playing pissed after losing last game and the last two against the Panthers. Going to be a much tougher game now that they are not playing back to backs.

I agree. Other than the obvious Barkov hat trick I guess almost anything can happen in the game.

Hard game to win as Montreal has a clear case of "must win" game ahead. You could say Panthers have more reason to be satisfied in their current situation.

guys check the pre-game vids on the panther website.. Danger zone with matthias interviewing guds on his return, really nice to see those type of videos from this team

 

[Effe]

This is for you pal. Summing up a Florida Panthers powerplay in sound..

 

[PSLguy]

Looking forward to this road trip. Hopefully the Cats will get at least 5 points this week.

Want a big game from Barkov and Bjugstad. They need to use their size to control the game.

Let's go Cats!!!!!
