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

[Dread Clawz]

Florida is tenth in the NHL in points per game and sixth in regulation wins per game lol

Tell that to the Panthers board

 

[These Are The Days]

“Fork” is the new “...looks bad” thread title trend eh?

We've all come a long way from village burning

 

[Look Up]

Florida is tenth in the NHL in points per game and sixth in regulation wins per game lol

As Steve Goldstein says, "Hubie doobie do!"

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Barkov for Eichel who says no?

The next Turgeon for LaFontaine!

 

[ToDavid]

Slap to the face for people who says Barkov is overrated. Panthers will be fine when Barkov comes back.

Does anyone say that?

 

[Satire]

I shall layeth my fork upon thine sticketh hole... gently.

 

[ALLCAPSALLTHETIME]

Florida had one bad game and they are done? Good grief.

 

[LeonDraisaitl]

This is my favourite fork one now

 

[tellermine]

Before Barkov got hurt all I hear on HF was " Huberdeau is the MVP in Florida". I do think Barkov is more important to the team than Huby and now it is showing...

Well if you actually understand hockey bit under flashy surface Barkov is easily Floridas MVP.

That said Huby is darn good player.

The Panthers problem first is that they are the Panthers. They have a rep to get past.

That might actually be true. Team identity is important in how you play the game.

 

[Kuznetsnow]

Barkov for Eichel who says no?

The next Turgeon for LaFontaine!

Barkov is 4 million a year cheaper

That might actually be true. Team identity is important in how you play the game.

In the case of Florida, I have to guess that the culture in that organEYEzation isn't the best. South Florida has a huge Russian population. Lots of current and former Russian NHL players have homes there. Viktor Kozlov and Ov as a for instance. Bobrovksy being there might not be the best idea. Is coach Q still a top coach or is that a retirement job?

As a Caps fan I can speak both to the damage a bad rep can do to a team and the importance of a proper culture to its success. The Panthers have to be all in and totally able to believe they are a top team before they can be one

It’s between them and Toronto for third place. They can’t be done when they’re in such a weak division.

Lol, why are you acting like they play in the pacific?

 

[Hockey 4 Life]

Florida is a very solid team. Now as a leaf fan I want 3rd in the atlantic but I would very much love to see florida make it in as a wild card. Just a fun team to watch.

 

[Rhaegar Targaryen]

Metro is going to take up the two wildcard spots. Florida doesn’t need to be better than Tampa or Boston, they just have to be better than the rest of the division, which is shit. They’ve got this.

Aughhhhh

 

[IceNeophyte]

Red, you're either trolling yourself or a snowflake.

Whoosh

I mean 2 games ago both teams were virtually tied with your Islanders who are now in a metro divisional spot. Does this feel like a smart take? Florida and Toronto are both good teams.

 

[Panthers Propaganda]

Season is rapidly going downhill after the ASG, if we can’t find a way to turn this around the season will be over soon.

 

[llamateizer]

Barkov missed 3 games. I don't call that injured for a while

 

[Dread Clawz]

If we miss the playoffs again, it's going to be dark days for this franchise. Quebec City your dream may finally be coming true.

 

[ffh]

It's time to pierce them. Multiple times.

 

[CROCODILE SEATS]

Too bad. Wanna see Barkov-Hub unleashed in the playoffs.

 

[Paul4587]

Lol, why are you acting like they play in the pacific?

The top 2 are great teams. Then there’s a huge drop off. Third place is about on the same level as the top teams in the Pacific.
