Ok. First goal complete. Now, it's for keeps. Cats, don't shit the bed here.
Wrong team
I loathe the thought of having such a dominant season, and reverting back to the Panthers we've grown to know when it counts, and the hockey world is watching. It turns my stomach, actually.
It didn't really look like they tried very much last game. They'll look completely different in the playoffs, they are surprisingly physical, so hopefully we can match that.I don't think they'll revert to garbage if that's what mean lol. They're a good team but the series against Tampa is going to be tough, I can definitely see classic Panthers hockey in the sense that we carry the play 5v5 and they score on the PP and get some garbage goals. And let's not forget that we've been getting pretty good puck luck the last two meetings while Tampa hasn't gotten any, that could change quickly.
How did he perform?

goldie's comment on the how the joseph/walcott line has been "looking for trouble all night" was worse than cringeworthy.
Should be a rather easy decision from both parties. Montour was looking forward joining a playoff team and if Zito can sign a +20min TOI top4 RD for circa $4mil per then he should absolutely do it.
Then down the left do Nuti, Forsling, Gudas.
They were. Gemel Smith, after being called for a penalty on Anthony Duclair, immediately skated directly across the ice and cross-checked Barkov. They also started a fight after a clean hit by Marchment. You know, the one featured in the clip you quoted?
Yeah. RD looks wonderful
Ekblad, Weegar, Montour would be awesome.
Then down the left do Nuti, Forsling, Gudas.
That would be challenging for top 10 in the league scaling higher if Ekblad plays like he did this season
Yeah, that's the route I hope they choose.I'd reckon that Gudas' minutes needs to be managed because as this shortened&compacted season reached its half-way point he started to look exhausted. I'm thinking that he'll be the heir for the role of the 7th dman for the next season. Forsling, Nuti and Gildon for the LD spots. If I had to guess then Gildon will be Ek's pair considering how well he's doing in Bakersfield.
Mission accomplished.
Now let's get serious about this playoff. I want see them respect the task at hand.
i don't think you'd hear TB PBP guy saying they were "looking for trouble". that is a loaded phrase.
what was said?bringing the focus back to the positive, the post-game comments from walcott, joseph and cooper were great. nice moment.
