Post-Game Talk: No what ifs but imagine if Matheson was scratched all round. Cats 3 NYI 2

[ProjectPanthers]

I would've preferred Tippett over Connolly too.

Connolly has been a ghost. At least Tippett would come hungry to play.

 

[Gentle Man]

I wanna see a nutty line.

Like Huberdeau Barkov Boyle

 

[MintyFresh88]

Looks like I got my wish for the 2nd line lol

 

[Gentle Man]

Oh nice. It's Acciari on line one. Just as nutty

 

[MPGA]

Those lines are just ugly enough to work

 

[GrumpyKelly]

Yeah, you're right, why would we want more speed and skill in our lineup when we've scored 3 goals in the last 180 minutes of hockey.

At least Hunt gets in today, I like his game.

I mean obviously skill hasn't made a difference in this series. It's been all about structure/defense or the lack thereof in our case. And let's not overplay Tippett's skill.

 

[HockeyRulez]

Stillman is in. Lineups look right.

I don't want to be rude here...but comments like yours is part of the losing culture. It's everywhere around this organization. Even some fans are part of it.

There's no conspiracy against us. We suck and that's why we get penalities called against us.

You say NYI are boring, but the truth is you probabaly wish we were as "boring" as they are if the result was us winning. You can't stand them because they are beating us, plain and simple.

Just like some of you hate the Montreal's fans when they hijack our place every December. Truth is we all wish the BB&T center would be as loud as the Bell center is.

Nope... I can’t stand the Isles because they don’t play the kind of hockey I want to watch... And I would say that we are beating ourselves more than Isles are beating us.

I get your point, I did say I agreed with everything bad said about this team, Q and all... I don’t accept it, and I never said there was a conspiracy against us.

I just said NHL officiating has been bad and biased for a lot of years now... And it can apply to a lot of teams... Toronto, the NY-based teams, Pittsburgh, for example always benefit from the referees !

But as I’ve said, OUR team needs to find a way, and only those players have the answer...

 

[zeroG]

holy shit. matheson scratched. we have a chance!

It's funny, because Toronto fans think they get bad calls/missed calls all the time. Probably the same with the New York/Pittsburgh teams as well.

If there is was consistent with all sports fans, it's that their team gets the wrong end of the stick when it comes to penalties!

 

[FinlandPanther]

That’s not hooking lmao.

 

[Mogo]

Holy shit lucky Nelson didnt go five hole. Bob didnt even move

 

[Gentle Man]

Gotta love Bobrovsky with the zero animation save

 

[HockeyRulez]

I love Acciari

 

[KW]

I’m expecting less than nothing. But I’m wearing my “Miracle on Ice” T-shirt.

BTW, when we lose and Isles go on, I hope the Isles get swept. Not because I hate the Isles but because I don’t want the Panthers to look any good at all, like “we lost to the Eastern Conference finalist”.

 

[batting1k]

We’re looking good boys. Expect the islanders to take the lead shortly.

 

[Gentle Man]

Short handed goal by Cizikas.

Lets go

 

[raymond23]

I’m rooting for you guys.

And if you lose, I’m rooting for you in the lottery lol

 

[MPGA]

Huberdeau is flubbing pucks so far

 

[Mogo]

Lazy penalty

 

[BabyBennettov]

Huby is looking bad once again...

hahahahaha yeah another great call, and great play by the Devils player...

 

[Mogo]

Looks like I got my wish for the 2nd line lol

When you see that line up and think its a playoff lineup. You gotta think they must have at least 4 NHL caliber guys injured to ice that

 

[Mogo]

Connolly looks and moves like a 50 year old

 

[GrumpyKelly]

We went from being one of the least penalized teams in the regular season to one of the most in the playoffs. Stupid.

 

[GigaChad]

Panthers are just floundering around, feels like their minds are somewhere else.

Dadonov, Matheson and Connolly step up your game please and try!
