Post-Game Talk: ECSF, Game 5 (Florida wins 4-1): Cuzzy finishes the job. Let's go home baby!!

Dalpe might have a productive series, especially on the road.
Hurricanes play 2 and a 1/2 hrs from where the Charlotte Checkers play. I'm assuming he lives close by. I'm also assuming he would get to see his wife and 3 boys. Should lift his spirits.

Now that I just wrote this., I wonder if there will be a big Charlotte checkers fan base cheering for the panthers in attendance?

Thinking about going but not sure if I want to sit in the comfort of my own home or amongst 20k canes fans lol.

Not sure how much he’d cost but Kampf could be a Staal replacement next season. Thought he was very noticeable in the series.

Dawg I can replace Eric and we will be better

I highly doubt that

Damn, I thought you said Marc. No one will ever replace Marc.

I saw on insta he was living in a hotel and they were with hun

Good to hear.
Tuesday will be a month panthers have been in the playoffs. That would be a long time to be away from them.

BTW I have the bushiest dirtiest reddish Brown playoff beard going right now.

Watching replays of playoffs. If we had an NHL dman in place of M. Staal. Wow

I'm not sure what to think of him. At first glance he's slow and seems to offer very little. But if he was so bad he wouldn't have stayed on the team and we wouldn't have advanced so far. Montour had an explosive year with him. He could be to Montour what Jagr was to Barkov.

 

[CanePanther]

You’re going to see local live remotes and special edition radio and TV segments. The media barrage cranks it up a big notch…should be fun.

 

[WaitingForThatCab]

Staal has had good games and bad games, kind of like Gudas. Honestly, I thought he was good in game 5. Made at least one play that saved a gimme goal.

We need all the fans we can get against their crazy fanbase.

 

[ScottyMascotty]

5v5 points leaders in playoffs.

Even strength points leaders in playoffs.

 

[scholl]

I think we have a good chance against the Canes now that we've found our game. We seem similar to them, but they've got a way better defense while I think we have more forward skill (especially with Canes injuries) and advantage in net if playoff Bob continues. Not sure if Canes biggest challenge, just different and probably just as difficult.

Carolina looked really weak at the end of the regular season but now it's a totally different team. What worries me is that they are not dependent on Aho anymore. Looks like they are playing with all four cylinders and everyone is capable of scoring. They don't have tight games meaning that they either win or lose big time. Hence, Panthers should try to kill those games early by having a lot of shots early like what they had now in game 5.

Tkachuk and Bennett line needs to be better

It's kinda crazy we won Toronto with those guys offensive production being pretty bad against Toronto

They got completely shutdown by O Reilly.

I wonder if Carolina will but Jordan on Bennett or Barkov (which Rod the Bod has done historically)

Leafs were smart matching O’Reilley and cookie against them after game 1

This bro beat me to it: I think they used O’Reilly to cancel out Tkachuk; we Barkoved Matthews. The big difference? They couldn’t contain the GOAT and the Reino

Defenseman version of Jagr.

I, Marc Staal, love the sound of that

[Gentle Man]

Went to peep Carolina lines over at daily faceoff and I saw this

Not Necessary?! Lmfao nah I'm hollering yo.

Other places don't even list it but these guys gotta do them like that

I think Duclair will struggle mightily this series because it's going to be a hard game which will in turn cause the Barkov line to struggle.

Bennett and Lundell line will need to win their match ups and the Staal line just needs to keep their deficit to at least -3 in the series lmao.

Carolina's D core is far and away much better than hours

The fourth line needs Lomberghini

 

[Howboutthempanthers]

I think Bennett is hurting.

Dalpe or White out?

I am thinking White.
