Post-Game Talk: Panthers 8 - Avalanche 4 - Matinee Madness feat. Sam "$$$" Reinhart

[WaitingForThatCab]

Lmao HNC putting Cousins on blast for his cheap shots at Habs v Rags intermission. Not going to lie Im not a fan of Cousins or his game but its funny to see a Panther player being called out for being dirty. Coming from a team that was soo soft for so long its funny to hear Canadians complaining about it.

Canadian media just malding as usual that the Canadian teams they actually care about (Toronto, Montreal and Ottawa) can't win in regulation or just plain suck.

Sorry for the late thread title change, I had to run immediately after the game.

so did the panthers in the beginning of the 2nd

 

[Idiot Stick]

huh, OEL is 10th in goals for defensemen. What a signing by Zito

Reino is now tied with Kucherov for goals too, 2nd place.

Bobby is 7th in GAA, and 2nd in TOI, hope he holds up for the season

 

[Mogo]

I'm still feeling bit under the weather and fell asleep before the game eventho it was a early one for Finland too.

I love us scoring those Reinhart one tap pass one timer goal in front. Because god damn Brayden Point use to score that goal 1-2 every game against us

Bednar: “we lost 8-4 but we didn’t lose 8-4”

Wait. He went full Brindamour?

I have to check how much there's copium in the Leefs' board after the contract gets announced. ~$46mil tied up with four players starting in next season is pretty remarkable.

I don't see a scenario where Marner isn't traded in the off-season. Useless in the playoffs and they can't ice a team with all of them signed lol. Nylander is about 2.5 million overpaid but I like re-signing him and moving Marner more than letting Nylander walk.

Marner has a NMC which means he'll stick around. Another +$13mil for him and Tavares re-signs also at ~$8milx3. In for a penny, in for a pound.

This stretch has been fun

Re: Reinhart, any chance he looks at Huberdeau as a cautionary tale? Obviously Huby was traded which is not happening with Reinhart, but he really has a good thing going on here - great team with legit SC aspirations, playing with great players, stability, seems happy here (also, we "rescued" him from the purgatory that's the Sabres).

He's going to get paid either way (as he should), but it'd be nice if he was willing to accept a more team-friendly contract...

Watching Barkov with Rodrigues gives me flashbacks from his draft season playing with Ville Nieminen. Rodrigues and Ville Nieminen plays pretty similar game. It seems like Barkov has found his long lost friend.

Barkov has even joked about Ville Nieminen coming out of retirement to play for Finland in best vs best international tournament with him. They had insane chemistry, it was like match made in heaven. Now panthers have similar combo with Reinhart who is having incredible season.

Zito right now:

Toronto has invested a lot of money to ensure long term 1st or 2nd round exits in the playoffs

 

[BabyBennettov]

Now you just need to photoshop Ekblad and carbonaras on the far right !

Nathan MacKinnon would have had the extra energy to get to that puck and prevent that empty net goal if he had enjoyed some pre-game pasta.

Amazing how much he plays every game. I’m exaggerating only a bit by saying it seems every other shift is mackinnon line the whole game.

He's got a Cup to show for it, but I think that Avalanche team had a bit of luck and more depth. I don't know that Colorado can be a serious contender for the Cup again with MacKinnon having to carry the entire team on his back on the ice while also screaming at them about their diet between periods.

Ever more in doubt if they try to jam Rantanen and Makars new deal to keep the 3 headed monster together.
The uncertainty of Landeskog.
Nuke has been a great addition while Toews and Makar are still great top 2 D for them.

RyJo started out hot for them but has cooled off big time. Their depth seems okay but not great despite having 2nd best GF/G.
Definitely still a Contender, but seem to have peaked already?
I think LA, VAN and VGK have a better long term window but we shall see what COL trades/signings etc they pull off in July.

 

[Gentle Man]

Panthers are on a 7 game streak

Canadian media

"But that Cousins guy is an absolute dirty f*** wad"


Again. We don't claim that guy lmao. Our bottom 6 looks hella better without him

Maybe he will join Willie Mitchell on the day-to-day list

 

[WaitingForThatCab]

All you need to know about Canadian media is that the target audience is people who don't think we should have a team and also think we 'cheat' by having no state income tax.

 

[Last Rat Standing]

I'd be pissed too if I had to live in Canada

 

[Prominence Problem]

I watched this game That I recorded at about 6 last night. Great bend, but don't break win.
Barky is on another planet good right now.

Hey it’s only cold most of the time

 

[TheImpatientPanther]

By my count, the next 21 games that takes us through end of February, we have 13 home games and 8 on the road.
Only 2 back to backs in this time line, the PIT and NYI games and the PIT and BUF games, all 4 on the road.

Road games: STL, NSH, PIT, NYI, PIT, BUF, TB and CAR

Those NSH, TB and CAR games are minimal travel so the guys should be well rested for the most part.

 

[WaitingForThatCab]

Blues have been playing well, Tuesday's game could be ugly if they don't have anything left in the tank.

 

[Ghoste]

It is sad what happen to Lundy’s offensive skill. He can’t even make plays with the PP time he gets. He’s just a plain old defensive center now.

They finally released Panthers card and Bob has been pretty solid outside some 5 on 5 numbers, mostly his medium danger area which is surprising, he struggles with shots from point IMO
