Post-Game Talk: Barkov ties Bure with 94pts! Panthers beat Caps 5-3, Lu collects another HOF win.

[KW]

I’m not going to argue that Hoff is better than Panarin what I’m saying is Hoff. + good D plus Bob is awesome. Hoff + Panarin+ good D + Bob - Luongo is fantasy land. And I have been way too beaten down as a Panther fan to expect fantasy land, but I would be estatic if it happened. I’m just saying if either one of those sinereos happens we don’t have anything to complain about (we still will find something, but either one is a far cry from the old days where Stilman and Kuba were sold to us as real options to win with.

.....plus a coach..... (if I knew Boog won’t make any boog mistakes, I could live with it next season on a tight leash and a backup plan).

Fair enough

I think the worst thing regarding Lu is that due to LTIR he doesnt even get a proper sendoff if he does hang them up.

Maybe we can LTIR him till after the trade deadline when the roster limit is gone, then he can split shifts in the playoffs when Bob starts to struggle

This is brilliant. We get lu to 'retire' and then bring him back in three years even bob starts to decline!

It's part of the 3 basic Laws of Panther Hockey.

1. If you have good offensive output, the defense and or goalie will suck.
2. If you have good defensive play and solid goaltending, the offense will suck.
3. All three suck and you lose out on the lotto.

You forgot:
4. All three suck, you win the lotto but trade the pick down to #3 for players that don't really help you while failing to get the best player available in the top 3 draft positions...two seasons in a row.
