Apparently.

Good.

Second line should give us some much needed scoring, and that third line is the same as in last year's playoffs, so who knows - maybe they'll surprise.

I'm still waiting for them to send Malgin down, but this should be a step in the right direction.

^I dont like the idea of sticking two struggling players on the same line.

Still would prefer Vanek to the top

but oh well. Jagr is hands-off I guess.

I said they should have done this when they acquired Vanek.

But he did look like he had some chemistry with Nick. We'll see.

Really like Vanek with Trocheck. With Tros shot and Vanek screening and with Vanek's feed passes, Tro should put up even more points.

Should've been done when they got Vanek

Score a goal or 2 and make it seem like we're in a playoff race.

Have to score more than two because I don't think that the team will respond to Rowe in a positive manner i.e. good effort on the 1st period, total collapse on the 2nd and going through the motions on the 3rd.

I like that 2nd line.

TV needs a pace setting C like Tro. Marchy's feisty attitude should only help too.

The couple games we've had the pleasure of witnessing TV in a Panthers uni, he's looked ready to pop off. I'm quite impressed.

We can't afford to job this game in regulation.

We absolutely need at least one point, 2 points will get us back to striking distance. We can't afford to fall behind at this point in the season.

We're honoring Olli. While I liked and respected Olli, he was here when this place was run like disney world. It's unfortunate that his best years were a total waste.

Hopefully we don't get bad juju from the gesture.

Huberdeau - Barkov - Vanek
Marchessault - Trocheck - Smith
Jokinen - Bjugstad - Jagr
Mack - Sgarbossa - Sceviour
I think that's T.Rex before he took the job in Russia. :laugh:

It would be very Panthers to win these next two games against NYR and Wild just to get everyone excited again only to fail right after.

Expecting regulation wins.
