8-4-5 --vs-- 11-3-3

Goalies:


Offense:


Defense:


Acciari is apparently back in tonight
Weegar is likely out

Huberdeau - Barkov - Dadonov
Hoffman - Boyle - Connolly
Vatrano - Trocheck - Malgin
Hunt - Acciari - Sceviour

Matheson - Ekblad
Pysyk - Stralman
Yandle - Brown

Bob
Monty


Torey Krug is out
DeBrusk, Ritchie and Backes as well

Bruins lines subject to change


This is another measuring stick game for the Panthers, ending a 3 game road trip against a divisional foe in the Bruins.
A win would secure 4 of 6 points on this road trip and maintain a 100+ point pace as the Cats come home for the next 14 of 16 games. A prime chance to create some momentum and take a run at a top 3 spot in the Atlantic.
Barkov aims to keep his goal streak alive, currently at 5 games.


Bruins are winless in their last 3 outings (0-2-1) but still sport a 11-3-3 record, so this needs to be a game where every Panther line is on the same page.
Especially against the hottest line in Marchand - Bergeron - Pastrnak
Bruins don't really have a weak spot other than the injuries, 4th in scoring, 1st in PP, 9th in PK, 9th in face-offs and 2nd in goal against.

Panthers have a chance to jump back into one of the top 3 Atlantic seeds with a win tonight, definitely a great motivator nearly 25% into the season just before you play a heavy dose of home games ahead. The last 10 games between the two have it even at 5-5-0, should be an interesting match-up tonight.

No Krug tonight



Might not have Weegar so no real advantage anyway

I want that third line to work so bad.

Big test for the boys tonight. Rask is one of those goalies that has been kryptonite for the Panthers.

Strong game from Bob is imperative.

3-2 Panthers

Gives Trocheck what he needs, some speed, compete, grit and skill.

Trocheck and Vatrano can provide some grit, speed and scoring while Malgin adds the puck possession and play-making. Been impressed with Malgin's effort and tenacity on the puck to retrieve it.
Really liking Frank's game lately, he will be at it again tonight against his former team, along with Acciari on the 4th.

Malgin is due for a couple points soon, his ability to attract attention in OZ is really good and Trocheck will get the points going, even if he becomes more of a setup guy, feel he will thrive with two of our quicker players.
Really haven't had any issues with Q's lines for most part.

I would like for us to play defense tonight.

If you would've told me Brian Boyle would be this team's answer for second line center I would've thought we were going to be a basement team again, but he hasn't been that bad.

Q has always done well setting up large forwards up for success. See Bickell and Byfug as a forward. He knows how to use big men...like my ex wife =(

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

I just can't wait for Thursday, gonna be game of the year potential, I'll say at least 13 goals scored.

 

[WaitingForThatCab]

As much as I think we're all sick of ALWGAP nights, I would honestly not be upset with one tonight. Just survive this hell of an early schedule and play better over time.

This is the last game. 14 of the next 16 at home, and of those 14 home games, Florida is currently ahead of 12 of the teams.

Yeah. I'm looking forward to going to at least 3 of those games. Hoping these guys build on a strong(er than usual) start.

 

[Prominence Problem]

Happy Acci is back in. The fourth line Winger's seemed to have been disoriented or something without him as their C.

They've been consistently our best line this year, if not tied for the best line IMO.

Weegar not requiring a hospital visit means nothing was broken, which is great news.

Yup, went straight to the morgue. Day-to-day.

Haha, good one

 

[FinlandPanther]

I would like for us to play defense tonight.

Remember also that Bob has to be perfect or he’s not playing well. Guy is so soft. Wish he’d throw a body check out there and play some defense.

Hoping that line takes off so we can name it. Looks fun on paper. Hopefully they can execute.

#TheExecutioners or #ThePaperLine, which one will show up tonight?

Throwback Tuesday

 

[ProjectPanthers]

For some reason I have a good feeling about tonight.

Maybe we'll get demolished?

Why does a 7:00 start time start at 7:10?
