Pre-Game Talk: Panthers @ Bruins Nov.4

[batting1k]

One of your folks visited and said Huberbeau and Barkov could be back tonight.

Any idea of lines should that be the case? For the sake of updating the Bruin GDT.

I say it every year, but I like your Cats team, and an old friend of mine who has since passed was a STH. The youth on that team is something to look forward to and I think Strombone in net provides a stabilizing force that hasn't been there the last few years. Obviously a quick glance of the Bruin GDT should indicate I'm a big Thornton fan, and a guy like Sugar is the perfect kind of leader for a team like yours.

Enjoy the game.

Tough to say till practice, but the guys that could sit out tonight in favor of Barkov and Huberdeau: Trocheck, Robak, Grimaldi, Hayes

Possible lines could be:

Jokinen-Barkov-Boyes
Huberdeau-Bjugstad-Upshall
Fleischmann-Trocheck-Hayes/Grimaldi
Kopecky-MacKenzie-Thornton

haha i thought we had talked about not going to the other teams board.. anyways;
we're probably as unsure bout the lines as you are. it's not even set in stone that hubey & barky is back but we sure hope so.

but i'd guess something along the lines of;
upshall - barkov - boyes
hubey - bjugstad - hayes
flash - trocheck - jokinen
kopecky - mackenzie - thornton
upshall on the first, i know..

good luck tonight man. it's gonna be a fun game.

Krejci is out for the Bs tonight.

I went, but I wasn't there to argue or anything (which is what we aren't supposed to do). Just went to tell them Barkov and/or Huby may be back tonight and that Lu will likely be starting. No harm no foul

Also the Panthers Twitter had a pic of Thornton but Bergy's nameplate and pads were hanging up in the stall next to him, so Bergy could be with the team too?

Hmm, good catch

is that picture from today? the thornton quote in the tweet makes it seem like it was a day or 2 ago

that would be excellent news aswell. perhaps upshall should sit this one out then.

He made the trip, so wouldn't he get a nameplate and locker even if he's not playing? Maybe I'm dumb for thinking that lol, but it makes sense to me.

Krejci is out tonight per Twitter

oh yeah.. never mind then. do they usually have custom made plates for the visiting team with their logo and all that? that's probably from the florida locker room.

thought only Barkov and Huby made the trip

 

[CHGoalie27]

So…no Rocco?

Aleksander Barkov first #FlaPanthers skater on ice for today's optional skate #Bruins

 

[IM Clutcm]

My bad, you're right. I'm not sure what I was thinking lol. All this studying is killing my brain...

I wonder what genius powerplay lineup Gallant will put out tonight. Probably something like a few turds on offense and a stud paired with a constantly criticized, yet productive blueliner on defense.

@GeorgeRichards: Looks like Jonathan Huberdeau is still out for #FlaPanthers ... Aleksander Barkov should be back tho v #Bruins

Must be a nasty flu bug.

@GeorgeRichards: Looks like Jonathan Huberdeau is still out for #FlaPanthers ... Aleksander Barkov should be back tho v #Bruins

So I guess Robak is not playing FWD tonight

 

[batting1k]

Huberdeau not on the ice, probably out tonight

Barkov skating, probably in the lineup.

Robak working with the forwards too

[panthertod]

Montoya has been great so far, no reason to freak out if he's in tonight.
