Post-Game Talk: Deja-vu Cats win again, keeping the WC dream alive. 5-4 OTW in Washington.

[FLpanthers16]

How many points would most have given us against VGK, PIT and WSH though? I call that a huge win. A win tomorrow and we're right back in it.

Yeah i agree just a frustration from that Blues game haha.


But yeah its not over yet.

This is wrong.

1. because the season is over
2. They didnt win nearly enough against bad/mediocre teams. 0-10-2 vs the Rags, Canes, Canucks, Jackets, Ducks, Blues

They didnt beat teams they should have

Coming from the guy who wanted to bring 25-9 into existence?
We now only need to go 20-6-3 to finish with 97pts.
We're ****ing doing this!
Get on the wagon! (points toy gun at your face)

Only

The 16 points lost by our shitty goaltending like tonight makes it empty

And their record against the better teams last year and this year? Defense has been pretty sound the last 10 games. Special teams are on fire. Depth scoring. We're definitely going to make it interesting again this year.

Didn't feel like an empty win to me, felt like we beat another solid playoff team in their own barn. We scored first again, they fought back and we had the answer everytime. Lu had a softie but they didn't welt under the pressure tonight. Outhit them, 50/50 FO%, had 23 blocked shots, only took 1 penalty and only 12 giveaways!!

 

[pantherbot]

I remember seeing the schedule after the all-star game with all those playoff teams and thinking that we play up to the competition...so maybe there's a chance! no more non-playoff teams for us please.

 

[GrumpyKelly]

Just enjoy the wins and good hockey.

 

[RainingRats]

Brassard might fetch a first round pick if he keeps his play up

 

[WaitingForThatCab]

18 goals for Vatrano. Good Lord. What a trade that was.

 

[Gentle Man]

Lol, why even watch at this point if after every win theres someone brooding in a corner about empty wins? We are all aware of what's going on. Just enjoy the win, jesus.

I watch because I enjoy hockey.

You can enjoy the win all you want. I can treat it however I want to treat it. All the points they missed out on matter to me.

 

[WaitingForThatCab]

I'm just pissed off that the nights I can't watch are the ones they decide to show up for. Maybe I should go out more.

 

[FLpanthers16]

7-2 in our last 9 games and thats all against good teams pretty much.

That would be so big for us.

If say, Winnipeg loses out on someone like Duchene and are desperate to send a first for a centre upgrade

I suspect Brassard would like to stay on the panthers team, even if he got playoffs this season. He seems happy with a new start and a role he can do a lot in. We might be penny wise and pound foolish to trade him.

I hope we don’t.

 

[HockeyRulez]

This game should’ve never went to OT I’m sorry.. good win but another game we can’t just keep letting teams back into it

He wants the playoffs because it will increase his chances at increasing his value for a bigger pay day.

If we trade him, we can still sign him.

True but they're also playing nothing to lose. The pressure was on earlier in the season and they folded like a cheap tent when it mattered to most.

 

[Multigrain]

Great game to watch would have been better if I didn't have to listen to Potvin.
He rattles off so much misinformation. He said the St. Louis Blues are not a contender and were curious how the Panthers lost to them? He needs to maybe look at the standings. Overall nice to see some great offense generated.

 

[Asheville]

Good teams win even when they don't bring a 60 (or in this case 65) minute effort.

Positive omen perhaps.

 

[GrumpyKelly]

Also I think that was Barky's second slap shot ever just before the OT goal. Worth a mention.

 

[Gentle Man]

Lu doesnt look like he is in good shape at all.

I know he is old and all, but jeez.

 

[Cats2TheCup]

I would join the anti-Matheson club but it's hard to enter when half these haters were hating on All Star Kieth Yandle. Brick in yo face.

 

[Cats2TheCup]

I think we all know how this ends

Panthers win again.

 

[Cats2TheCup]

It's one thing to do that drop pass on the powerplay but twice tonight Yandle dropped it blind and gave it away

Yandle needs to learn from hfboards how to play hockey. Oh yeah just forget that game winning pass.

 

[Mogo]

We could go on to make a wild run but are we forgetting Carolina and Philly running for WC spot are playing even better than us

 

[SoupyFIN]

Brassard might fetch a first round pick if he keeps his play up

Probably not a guaranteed 1st, but a conditional pick (make the 2nd or 3rd round and it becomes a 1st, otherwise a 2nd) and another pick (3rd?) maybe. Unless it's a team that's bound to win the division and therefore finish in the 24-31 range anyway, even if they get knocked out in the 1st round.

I'd be fine with two 2nd rounders if the market isn't there, we've drafted well there lately.
