I dont know whats scarier, Jack Skille leads our team in plus/minus or Theodore's Save Percentage.

 

[PanthersHockey1]

Look at our next 4 games: Philly, Pitts, Boston, Pitts. I'd be lying if I said we had a shot at winning any of those games the way we are playing.

I dont think Markstrom will be the panacea for what's ailing this team and I am not excited for these next 4 games.

 

[Offdapost*]

great gdt hopefully we get lucky tonight

 

[SeasonTicket]

Kopecky is going to be busy tonight playing on 2 lines.

Better win tonight.

 

[SoupyFIN]

Boobs.

 

[adam graves]

likely theo, but KD never committed. never does.

 

[Beezeral]

Got a game against a team on the second night of a back to back that just played an emotional hard fought battle. Anything short of 2 points will be pathetic.

 

[Bure1096]

4-1 flyers.

 

[Boothinator]

Billy reports it is Clemmensen.. That has to be a joke.

If so , goodnight!

 

[Georgia Panther]

Clem starting, showcased for trade?

lol i didnt know nhl sqauds can trade players to ahl squads.

 

[Georgia Panther]

lol i didnt know nhl sqauds can trade players to ahl squads.

Since Clem is signed through next season, sending him down to SA is likely the last thing Talllon wants to to with him.

 

[Boothinator]

Now with Clemmensen getting the start today, I think Theo should get the one tomorrow so that Markstrom can make his first start of the season at home against the Bruins. Really hope he has success.

 

[King Panther]

Boobs.

only reason I watched it

 

[adam graves]

I hear Alex Auld will be backing up.

 

[TheImpatientPanther]

I'm not understanding the choice to start Clemmensen over Markstrom? This would be the easiest game for the Swede to make his debut of the next 4 games we play. I'm not saying we should take it easy on Jacob but Philly should be a tired group and we do have a win over them already.

Is Huberdeau playing tonight? Any word?

GR had said yesterday he's ok.

 

[RainingRats]

Why is clemmer starting? maybe hoping to trade him somehow? even though he has no trade value

 

[TheImpatientPanther]

GR had said yesterday he's ok.

Thanks AG, you da man!!!

I also read that he led the the team to the ice. Morning skate?

 

[TheEkbombIsReal]

I believe in you clemmer!!!!!!!!


Edit: I typed this in capslock, but it's not in capslock. Why?

You never know of Philly. Philly is more used to the type of games, especially physical games against Pittsburgh

 

[Georgia Panther]

Someone check to see if all 3 goalies are dressed. Maybe the plan is for each to play a Period!
