I like those new jokes from our Coach. he is already that much into the Florida organisation, give as much unreliable comments who practice with who.
That in 2 or 3 Weeks no one doesnt care anymore. yesterday was it Hoffmann on 4th, wensday it Huberdeau maybe later before the Game it will be Trocheck who knows, which plays on 4th Line .
Abiut the fact of Back to back Games.

 

[Bure1096]

5-0 Caps.

 

[ShootIt]

4th line for balance?

He in the doghouse already?

 

[Howboutthempanthers]

Trocheck on the wing. Interesting.

Yeah I don't get it. After four games? Ridiculous. Especially doing it to the new guy.

 

[GrumpyKelly]

Trocheck on the wing. Interesting.

Been tried before, not sure what the point is.

Also Huby on the RW... that's a first.

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

1st win comes tomorrow, not tonight. If they lose today and tomorrow, shakeup needs to happen, but I cannot see them losing to DRW. Fun fact, if they win 2 of the next 3 they have as many points after 7 as last year. And before anyone says well they missed the playoffs due to the slow start last year, they were 19-22 in January. You can afford one bad run, sucks Florida used theirs early on, but the Wings and Rags should be a slump bust.

 

[PanthersHockey1]

Just win.

 

[SoupyFIN]

Trocheck on the wing. Interesting.

It's probably still Huberdeau-Trocheck-Sceviour and SW got the order wrong.

 

[5 Hole]

I don't feel so good about this one, but watch us win 6-0 then back it up with a 0-7 blowout.

 

[Gentle Man]

Easy win tonight.

Gonna get shutout tomorrow.

The Panthers way.

 

[MintyFresh88]

3/4 points the next 48 hours would be nice.

 

[Ghoste]

This is the kind of game where it would seem we'd lose badly but we actually win.

[iam76]

Can we play that crazy fin goalie? Oh wait

 

[Gentle Man]

Can we play that crazy fin goalie? Oh wait

Barkov?

 

[letsgrowcactus]

Barkov?

Yes, it's plan #cloneBarkov. He can play all the positions on the team at the same time.

 

[Jean Luc Discard]

Probably a back2back losses. Boughner should have the Uber app installed already.

 

[EnforceTheLaus]

Don’t feel good on this one so probably a 4-1 win

 

[I am not exposed]

Keep Washington off the PP, and we will win.

 

[sinDer]

I rarely second guess the coach...but Hoffman on the fourth line?

You can't do that with a proven 50-60 pts player.

It's not like Vatrano, Malgin, McCann or Sceviour have been spectacular.

None of these guys deserve to be on the top lines instead of him. At least Hoffman has the potential to "break out"

Coaching lessons here: how to lose respect from one of your best players.

If playing a game on the 4th line after being winless in 4 games causes u to lose respect for a coach then you shouldn’t be in the nhl. Also lammikko can play hockey and is probably a better fit than trocheck anyway. This is to more evenly spread the ice time as well. Not sure why everyone is up in arms about hoff since he has been irrelevant so far anyway

 

[Chessarmy]

This is as close to a must-win as you can get in October.

Yeah not buying it.

It took half a season last year for players to get going under Boughner and Hoffman gets four games? On top he has new linemates who haven't been helping out much.

Putting him on the fourth line accomplishes nothing, play him in the top six or sit him out. Only way to make him less irrelevant is to put him in the bottom six with less skilled guys and think he'll start scoring from there.

 

[iam76]

Hoffman wasn't here last year so it's his fault
