Gently lay a fork atop Florida but don't pierce them

They are sill definitely the 3rd best team in the Atlantic, and that’s with bobrovsky plying the worst hockey of his career so far (he will pick it up). Fortunately teams like Detroit and Ottawa and buffalo are rebuilding, while Montreal is struggling and the leafs are just a badly constructed hockey team with a good offence.
A first round matchup with with Boston or Tampa is going to be a tough one for florida, no doubt.

Pierce them, pierce them. Make with the violence.
The Panthers are weird. If everyone is firing on all cylinders, they have a hella good team. But it always seems like there are a few guys slumping at the same time and that cancels out the dudes that are playing well. It's so bizarre.

Most posters are just lazy and unoriginal when it comes to thread titles. I’m also sick of the thread titles that are written in the form of questions.

"Florida looks... forked"

He's following in the foot steps of Bryzgalov. The goalie that showed him the ropes.

I still think Huby may be the more offensively gifted player(although Barky has been playing hurt all year so we don't know how he might have produced playing with Huby while playing in what should be one of his peak years), but Barkov is the engine that makes this entire team go. You just don't lose a top 10 center and not feel the effects of it on your team. Especially Barkov, he has a great affect on all three zones.

It's just the way things have shaped up this season.
Instead of the team defense and Bob coexisting in harmony, going into games knowing exactly what you're getting from both sides, he's trying to be the superstar goalie while the defense cross their fingers.
As a result, some nights Bob is good but the chances are too good against, some nights Bob is bad because he's trying to do too much even when he doesn't have to. In other words, every night feels like a battle to keep the puck out.
It's tough to suddenly change that. It takes a lot of hard work, commitment and success to achieve that calming trust between the team and the goalie. Wait until next year when they'll come into the season with a mindset of "we have to cut down on chances against, we have to better defensively, we have the offense in this room so we're not worried about scoring just have to make things easier on Bob".
But for now, Panthers score 3.5 goals per game so you just enjoy the rollercoaster ride.

I still think they make the playoffs but last night's loss to Vegas really doesn't make the team look good at all.

Completely wrong
As talented as Bob is, his work ethic outmatches his talent
He won't be worth his contract, but he will bounce back

Don’t say eye test when you mean points
Florida is tenth in the NHL in points per game and sixth in regulation wins per game lol
