Sharts, Dorgs, Queens, Quackers.... Tough road trip.

we always play san jose well for some reason.

This is very true. Might be the only W on this road trip.

So, Huberdeau..
I know he's out indefinitely, but anyone know the extent of the injury?

I just asked GR on twitter. Do we even know which play he was injured on?

After the Van game Horachek said he had no idea when it had occured and had no idea that he had even left the bench till it was time for his next shift.

I haven't heard any updates since since the team is on the road and I have no travel budget haha.

Start a Panther Parkway kickstarter... probably not how that works.

I'll have to stay up and watch this one. For some reason, our games seem to usually be close against the Sharks and are damn exciting. I wouldn't mind seeing them win the Cup this season after making the playoffs so many times and never getting past the Conference Finals.

I want to see Marleau + Thornton win a cup. They've been consistently great for a number of years now. Thornton's career has been spectacular, one of the best ever, he deserves a cup. Pavelski is another gem for them. Scouts said he was a below average skater? Lol. He's a great shooter. Then, you got Couture, a guy who the Sharks stole from us right before we were about the make the selection. Then we got stuck with a piece of garbage defenseman. Sharks are a great team. I'm assuming most of their fans are good too. Unlike, some of the nutjob Canucks fans that we have to constantly battle with over our attendance records.

I've watched Wilson. Excited he's getting the opportunity. Reminds me of Shore in a sense of he's not going to be very Flashy. Simple game that involves lots of hard work .

Kid is probably itching to get up there after playing all over the place for the past few years. If it's gonna happen, then now is a good time. Although, Wilson wouldn't go up if Huby didn't get hurt.

 

[CanadianPantherFan]

Sit Huberdeau for the rest of the year. Tell him don't worry about it kid, rest the body AND mind as it's been a struggle. But come next year... you come to play as an elite player. No more play like this injured or not. Hit the weight room hard, study film, be around your teammates. If you want to be a cornerstone member of this franchise things have to change, and it starts with you. Tallon has to be the guy to have this talk with him. One of the most important talks of the off season.

Btw I like the kid and still believe in him. Just putting my coaching hat on right now it's in my blood

Exactly the kind of players this team needs.

Completely agree

Only 3 more hours until gametime!

I love the west coast games, it will just be 3:30 am here in sweden when they drop the puck.

 

[AaronDellForPrez]

Friendly sharks fan here...

I'm going to be at the game in 2 hours or so. I've never seen the Panthers play, so this will be a first.

What should I expect? Anything to look for? Any interesting info to share about Panthers players?

For some reason, this game had the cheapest seats of all the games so far this year at the tank.

Normally it Is hard to find a single seat for less than $50, but I found several season-ticket seats re-listed for $21-$24 each (down from their $44 face value). I ended up able to buy 3 seats, so I can have room on either side of me (I am a big guy) - I've only been able to afford that once before, lol.

Expect to watch the Sharks play a pretty bad team. We do have some young players playing well recently though so there's that.

Bjugstad is very much worth watching, as is Luongo.
