GDT: Lightning at Panthers v1.2

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

Its good they are ok but im resting everyone Saturday

 

[Little Bobby Boo]

Borgstrom will be 2C by the end of the year if Trocheck can't figure out how to make a timely pass. He's too linear. Take wide into the zone, try to get around Dman, fire it high and wide. He needs PP1 time or he'll be looking at a 40 point season imo

This 5 game series is going to turn into a bloodbath

Exactly why I hate that we start the season this way. I get that Tampa is a natural geographic rival... But it's getting kind of annoying always opening against them.

I don't mind opening against them but five games in a row is too much.

This.

You do anything competitive 5 times in a row shit can go easily sour, even competitive paper frog flicking..whatever the f*** that even is.

Wish we could keep both Stillman & Brown up for first 2 regular season games against TB. The Toughness & hitting looking like only going to increase with every game in this 5game series....

 

[Beezer]

Two goals against on two atrocious giveaways. Trocheck knows better than to throw a puck up the middle and I have no idea what Ekblad was doing trying to do going up the middle behind his own net. Just stupid mistakes that can't happen.

I'm sure coach Q has already addressed it with both players. That's the difference in having experience behind the bench. Probably said something along the lines of "You get 1 pass, it happens again, you sit for a period".....

 

[Beezer]

Tippet, borgstrom eventually denisenko I cant help but start laughing like a giddy school girl at the prospect

And then when all of them are hitting their stride, in comes Spencer Knight!

And there will go Barkov and Huberdeau?

I actually thought we played well last night. Vasi made some key saves for the bolts in the 1st and 2nd periods. It is very obvious who the weak links are defensively on the team. Q needs to snuff it out and bury as much as possible.

From the bench?

We did. The wheels came off after the Barkov injury. We essentially didn’t have a top line, but I liked what I saw for 30 minutes. This team is still learning. Dumb turnovers cost us that game. We played the Bolts extremely well.

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

Barkov and Huberdeau back and both ok, Connolly not out there, no update on his availability for Thursday

 

[I am not exposed]

I get the meme but Florida lost both Barkov and Connolly to injury (even though Barkov is apparently ok). About as bad as a meaningless game can go

Could have lost Bob as well...

 

[pantherbot]

Can we just forfeit the next game and be done with pre season already? Not much evaluating left to be done... I just want us to start the season healthy.

 

[Gentle Man]

Damn.

Con-Man better be ok.

Great choice by Q to take them out. Sucks about Connolly but it’s only a week at least. F SERG.

So if it's a week the season opener for Connr is in question. But I think he would be playing game 2, our home opener.

Could have been a lot worse!

 

[Gizmo Tkachuk]

Start Monty tomorrow please

If he misses both TBL games they become even tougher though. Need to avoid a bad start

 

[Panteras]

Sorry guys saw the score but nothing else and just checking back...so wait Barky and Huby got inured but “should be ok”, Connolly out for at least a week? Wtf happened ????? You just can’t make this stuff up sigh.......

Huberdeau was held out for maintenance and Barkov sustained a minor injury, both are back at practice and will play Thursday. Connolly took a dumb preason hit from Sergachev and is a question mark for Thursday's game
