You could just tell Lu was gonna give up a tying goal after he gave up that goal to make it a 1-goal game.

 

[FlaPanthers11]

I love Sean Bergenheim!

But seriously though, Pouliot's really ****ing good.

I love Sean Bergenheim again!

It's Upshall.

 

[FlaPanthers11]

Oh well, one point.

 

[hisgirlfriday]

What a fun OT.

 

[Xavier Laflamme*]

Lol. How many breaks do the Panthers need to beat the Penguins??? These guys are playing with half their lineup out..

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Wow, Luongo.

 

[13th Floor]

Oh god. What a save by Luongo.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

This is going to go 25 rounds.

 

[Smart Dunsparce*]

another 20 round shootout incoming?

 

[hisgirlfriday]

Have any of the Panthers got a shot attempt off? Poor Lu deserves better.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

He had Fleury beat.

 

[Smart Dunsparce*]

Go panthers!!!

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Panthers win.

 

[13th Floor]

Ha. That was a weird move by Barkov.

 

[Smart Dunsparce*]

Barkov is a G.

 

[hisgirlfriday]

Yay Barkov.

 

[penguins2946*]

Panthers win.

I'd certainly hope so, the Pens have nothing after Sid, Geno, Letang and Pouliot offensively

 

[Sh00terMcGavin]

That was a pretty filthy goal by Barkov.

 

[Stad]

That was sad watching our scrubs in the later rounds of that shootout

I ****ing hate shootouts.

 

[13th Floor]

Come on, is that really necessary?



The only way the Pens and Panthers situations are even remotely comparable is that they had an attendance issue at one point. The Pens only had that issue for 1 season.

I'm not going to pretend like it is the same, and maybe it was just positioning to get the arena deal, but a simple Google search brings up a number of articles about the Penguins aggressively exploring relocation in 2007. It's not like I'm completely making things up.

I don't want to get into this argument here because this isn't the right place, but Lemieux never had any intentions on moving the team and threatened to move the team if they didn't get a new arena. Mellon Arena was ancient at that point, and the mayor of Pittsburgh didn't want to allocate tax dollars to build them a new rink. Lemieux threatened to move the team, and then they got a new rink.

Generational talents saved that franchise from packing up and leaving twice. sad. I bet somehow they win the McDavid sweepstakes cause that's just what they do.

I predict 8-0 Kings.

True, this isn't the place to argue it. And, it is mentioned that it would be crazy for them to leave such a strong hockey market. I'm going to wager that you know much more about the situation than I do. I think in retrospect it is easy to say it never would have happened, but in the moment it can be scary -- and sucks as a fan. I guess that's where my comment was coming from.

But, you are right, not the place. It was a good comeback today and MAF deserved that point.

An Edmonton fan making fun of the Pens for having high draft picks. The irony is hilarious.

Go Panthers!
