Appreciate the class of your fans, though annoyed with that crushing loss . Please beat Chicago in the playoffs this year.

What are the chances Marty starts in Colorado on Saturday?

I'll probably go anyway.

Tough to predict. If Marty starts Thursday it will be Allen in net Saturday. If Allen starts Thursday it will probably be Marty in net Saturday.

As a Blues fan living in Denver I will be there either way! I have never seen Allen live, so it will be my first time seeing whoever they throw in there. Can't wait!

the defensive effort ever since the ottawa home game has clearly been crap. there is NO excuse for being manhandled by florida at home.

if not for marty, we are losing 4 or 5-2

Well this isn't exactly the Panthers of last season, this year the blew out Anaheim at the pond, swept the series against The Sharks (even winning in the tank) and whipped Detroit in their barn. They're a good team in the toughest division in the East (Tampa, Detroit, Montreal, Toronto & Boston X5 each) , basically they're Minnesota, even have the same amount of points as them (29.)

Bernie with a not-so-subtle jab at NJ fans

Why would Bernie take a jab at NJ fans?

 

[LGB51]

Didn't even notice him out there

Very glad that Schwartz got a point on that empty netter, felt he deserved one.

Casper's empty netter was unassisted.

Thank you for your comments. Pretty gutted to lose, but these things happen.

Like the Blues and hope they do well in the playoffs this year.

Seriously you guys over there on your board have a lot of reason to be thrilled about your team moving forward. I was leaning towards TB as my girlfriend team from the east this year, but I've found myself watching more Panthers games. This game just sealed the deal for me, will be rooting for you guys to make the playoffs this year. Bjugstad and Ekbald are super fun to watch.

Blues lead the league in 5 on 5 possession per game at over 20 minutes of possession per game. Petro leads the league in puck touches per game. Pretty cool stats from NHL Network. They actually did something interesting.

This is why Petro is so underrated. Even when he isn't close to his best, he is still pretty impactful.

Pretty interesting the panthers split time almost equally between their centers (and forwards in general for that matter)
