Post-Game Talk: HOFF GOES OFF! His hat-trick leads the Panthers past Tampa 4-3. Bob shines bright late!

Hurricanes have given up 3 goals in one period to the Lightning (not Reimer in goal)

They look great though, 17-0 shots in the 2nd.

I was surprised by that. Bolts have 2 shots since 33 minutes.

Canes also tied it up on the PP. Can't take Caney lightly. Shooting from everywhere

No problem if Pysyk gets moved. Got Stillman, McCoshen, Massie at least in Springfield that can be a #7.

It just depends on how much we retain. Holland isn't Chia, though.

Bolts called for a joke of a penalty with 39 seconds left. Absolutely pathetic call

That was really laughable.

Canes win again in extra time

Grain of salt.

But he was the Petrovic guy.

Please please please please please

If it was possible, I'd love to see Stillman up with the big Club.

 

[Bag Of Beans]

Please please please please please

Remember how we robbed them last year in the Petro trade?

I hope this deal works out. I like my chances.

More importantly, we get some cap space.

Please dont retain though.

Where are all the bad teams at so far? Even the wings, Sabres and Islanders look good.

Buffalo was the best team in the league last December, it won't last

Gotta give Tampa some credit for in large part shutting down our top line at 5v5 for almost the entirety of 120 minutes of hockey. It's a tough start to the season playing them back to back but it was nice getting a split out of it. The first game could have easily gone our way as well.

Hopefully the Barkov line can get going at even strength, but it'll be tough because teams will be obviously focusing in on them. Plus, the way it looks like Q wants the team to play and how he's spreading out ice time, I think it'll be tough for Huby and Barkov to reach 90+ points again (unless the PP goes wild again). This isn't necessarily a bad thing, though. I don't think they or the fans care if they have 70-80 points and we make the playoffs.

Another tough game tomorrow night, though...the Canes are no joke. It'll be another tight one.

The ones who lost? Wild guess

That was my prediction before the season, and I got crucified by some posters for not believing Barkov would hit a 100 points!

Idk, Krueger is a good coach. He preaches fast north/south game. Always supporting your teammates, Five men in all three zones. Through two games, players seem to be all aboard with the new coach. They may just keep on improving through the season. Housley's Dplan was very much like Boughner's, they will be better this year in their own zone with Krueger's scheme. Idk, I just get Gallant in FL vibes from Krueger w/the Sabres. (Yes, it's only been two games) They are playing faster, more together, and having fun doing so. From what I've heard, the players are loving their new coach and style of play. Don't overlook Buffalo.

 

[Jean Luc Discard]

Devils

At least they throw jaw rattling hits.

 

[Bag Of Beans]

Not sure where to put this, but I am listening to the spitting Chiclets podcast from Thursday about their Atlantic division preview.

Holy smokes, do the guys like Florida this year. The one guy, don't know which one, just loves MM. Said he skates like the wind, and having talked to other guys on the team he is a freak! Always the fittest guy on the team, doesn't drink, they expect very good things from him this season.

So Pysyk in for Brown. Showcasing?

Could be, but also Brown didn’t have a great game on Saturday. He’s still not sure of himself positionally. The first Tampa goal, although hard to pin on him exactly, was the result of poor positioning.

I agree. Unless a no-brainer deal comes through, I don't understand why we would move him right now. Keeping him gives us some much needed depth at D. Unless someone in Springfield clearly proves they should be on the main roster and is better than Pysyk, then just keep him and hopefully he'll be good on the bottom pairing.
