GDT: 10/6/18 - 7:00PM EDT - Florida vs Tampa Bay

[DFC]

We're controlling play and not generating any shots. This story's getting old.

 

[TropicalFruitGirl2]

All 12 Panthers fans are happy with that opening season goal..

Cmon, TB.....you had the better of the play....just get back to it..

 

[JoVel]

You know it's Game 1, because Paquette is healthy and looks great.

You know it's game 2 when Paquette is completely lost because of suffering from an injury.

Edit: did that just happen....

 

[DistantThunderRep]

My prediction will come true.

 

[TropicalFruitGirl2]

Don't think again... ok?

Well, I am blonde...I am sure that can be arranged...

 

[dechire]

Sighhhhh oh well they can have the 1st goal. We'll just have to get the 2nd, 3rd, etc.

 

[DFC]

Cedric Paquette in the locker room. Mid-season form.

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

wow, what luck for Paquette

 

[TropicalFruitGirl2]

Paquette with a hand injury?
Oh yea...its Tampa Bay hockey time alright... haha

 

[Iceman]

Beautiful steal by Erne.

 

[Brie]

Oh and look it was someone's first care goal, at least somethings doesn't change.

 

[dechire]

Does Vegas take bets on the odds of Paquette getting injured ? I'll put my life savings on it

 

[LordZapp]

Pacqette hurt already..

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Adam Erne trying to show he's no longer a baby hippo

 

[dechire]

You know it's Game 1, because Paquette is healthy and looks great.

Look what you did

 

[TropicalFruitGirl2]

Hard to catch Lightning pre-season games living in Minneapolis, and not directly gameday related, but I was looking forward to possibly seeing Volkov play this year with the Bolts.
Did he look good enough in pre-season to possibly warrant a call up at some point this season?

Depends on how many freak injuries we get. Paquette is already finding himself out because of injury, Callahan is day-to-day god so who knows, maybe?

 

[DFC]

We need to settle down and hustle. We're looking for passes when they're not there.

 

[JoVel]

Both Hedman and Vasy going for that puck gave me some pretty annoying flashbacks from 2015.

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

"Kucherov sees EVERYTHING"

 

[dechire]

Panthers are just shooting every time they get the chance and it's working. We need to follow their example

 

[DFC]

Gourde's trying to set an example. Good stuff.

 

[Master P]

The amount of stick checking I see going on is infuriating. USE YOUR BODY!!!!

 

[DFC]

This is getting embarrassing.

 

[dechire]

Hopefully the Panthers lose all their games against us this season but are otherwise good and the rivalry can finally kick off properly
