[ProjectPanthers]

But seriously though:

This has been sorta tough.

The time in between games sucks because I feel like I've seen Boston play 300 damn times already this year, but I also kinda like it. Let's us see what we're up against in the standings and how far we have to climb to get into the playoff picture.

I think it is very good right now. They are able to work on all those issues that occured during the last few games. Penalties ect

 

[CHGoalie27]

How old? Time to pick one.

**** that!
Born in NY 1986, maternal fam in CHI, followed FL for Beezer.
Since I moved and became a STH, the Cats are pretty much just as important as NYR to me.

many fans have two teams they love, especially us relo's.

Both my teams equally important as yours. When they play each other tho I root for the panthers. or OT lol

For what it's worth, I don't think I'd recognize Bolland either if I randomly saw him in public.

 

[iam76]

new luongo mask?

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

Bolland is still out, but thanks to our inside source here, we already knew that

new luongo mask?

Apparently

@GeorgeRichards Roberto Luongo has a new #FlaPanthers mask; lots of yellow, logos based off old 'JetBlue' jersey including 'FLA' shoulder patch. Pics later.

 

[EnforceTheLaus]

No lineup changes, Bolland still out. CHI's inside scoop was legit!

 

[Big Bjugs]

You realize Ohlund played 11 years in Vancouver and very likely still has a house up there, right?

It was during training camp. So it could be quite possible he was getting the rest of his stuff or something of that nature.

This has to be Dale's favorite saying by far.....Tallon said: "He's played like a real pro. (referring to Ekblad's play so far)

The kid has played 7 games and he's a real pro. No disagreement here though, I'd argue Aaron has been our most consistent defenseman so far.


1) Looking to see a more disciplined game at home with more speed through the neutral zone. If we are going to dump and chase all the time, go after the puck and put the pressure on.

2) A PP goal or less than 8 penalties a game? Please and Thank you.

3) Bjugstad and Ekblad pot a goal each.

4) Luongo remains in God mode.

5) At least 10,000 fans in the arena.

That would be huge. Doubtful, though...

Talked to a friend who knows a rep, they said it's going to be really bad again Thursday. Philly on Saturday should be 10k+ (didn't say this, I'm just guessing it will be), and the good news is as the calendar goes through November, the attendance will go up like it always does.

It's so tough seeing so few people in the crowd. But then again, the franchise hasn't exactly proven that it deserves better. I'm really hoping the team turns the corner and is competitive all season and the attendance woes can be put to bed.

 

[GrumpyKelly]

Gameday!! Arghtrr

 

[IM Clutcm]

Who's going tonight?

 

[Android 16]

So what's gonna be the excuse if we don't score more than once tonight?

 

[Big Bjugs]

So what's gonna be the excuse if we don't score more than once tonight?

1 game in the last 9 days with a combination of dumb penalties. Puck over the glass, hand on puck in face off, unsportmanlike for spraying the goalie and I'm going to throw in hand on puck in our blue paint thus giving the Yotes a penalty shot. Also Luo chases the ref out of his net after he thought he was interfered with, falls down and slides into the ref, knocking the ref down, getting a game misconduct. OH OH and to add insult to injury, Olsen will Ballard Montoya.

It's only game eight?

 

[Drugs Delaney]

In all seriousness though first games back home after a long road trip are always a tough win.

If PR isn't able to, I can throw together a GDT

You've basically described every game this season...

But in all seriousness, once the penalties have been cut down I'm positive this team will start finding the back of the net. Bjugstad is due and I think Huberdeau is as well. I think they both have a big night.

We're the only team with new players, coaches, systems, shin pads, kitchen utensils, etc

Ok, what? They got back on Sunday. They had a day off. They had a couple great practices. If they come out flat and have a poor performance overall, I'm gonna be really upset.

I could tell you what you want to hear but I would be lying. Up to you.

 

[PanthersHockey1]

Ive been able to enjoy my season tickets 3 times thus far this year.

In those games we have been outscored 9-1.

Something's Gotta Give.
