Post-Game Talk: Panthers embarass McBackup, take 2 of 3 from Cup champs with a 6-4 win

[Gordonx11]

Stralman has been a f***ing legend tonight

In all fairness Bob is being paid to make a difference.

And this defense is pretty standard NHL imo.

You could put any tender in there with any salary and have the same results.

Its been over 3 years that the D has been atrocious.

And they have improved dramatically this season lol.

Yup. It is average d. This is the nhl now. Every goalie faces these chances. Obviousky this game got outta hand

Good ole playing against your old team.

 

[Marco 85]

Upside is I dont see Zito sitting on his hands with the D, he is going to have to make a move here.

Agreed. We’re 1 d-man injury away from being F’d

This defense is not standard, not if we want to be contenders.

Bob's contract has nothing to do with anything. The sooner you guys realize, the more objectively you will see things.

 

[Chaos2k7]

Tampa sure as hell doesnt have these shootouts every other night.

When things turn run and gun we return to Boughner style D. Collapse collapse, and run to the puck carrier, that is not every other team in the league.

 

[Givememoneyback]

Not the worst call in the world, but that's about the 3rd example tonight as to why no touch icing sucks.

In a cap salary world, yes it does. What do you want exactly? A Canadian Olympic defense core? Bob is being paid to be a difference maker. I wish he was.

Yup. Besides Ek, they all have nights where they look like junior players. It just rotates.

 

[PanthersHockey1]

Fwiw I think our D include team D has looked much better this year than last year.

 

[PSLguy]

Can we please spend some time in Tampa's zone, looks like we're killing a penalty

 

[TheImpatientPanther]

Holy, Gudas killed a man

It has. A lot better. I was a critic of Q, but his coaching (minus that one big call against Nashville) has been good.

 

[StrangeVision]

That was a fun hit.

 

[Hugo Coelho]

Gudaaaaas!!!

 

[batting1k]

Gudas with the throw down. Good lord

 

[violaswallet]

That’s got to be a felony

 

[batting1k]

Should’ve called a timeout after those goals in the 2nd.

 

[Chaos2k7]

Ekblad going down would be a season killer.

 

[I am not exposed]

Gudas has been an incredible addition. A guy who can play but also bring grit.

Just seems like yesterday we wanted Gudbranson to knock his beard off haha

 

[vendetta]

Lomberg needs to be waived he’s not fast enough to do anything. Hes absolutely brutal. Brings absolutely nothing. Gudas wrecking gourde. Love the physicality

 

[Givememoneyback]

Holy, Gudas killed a man

Love that signing!

 

[Gordonx11]

It's just like....the team stands for something this year. You can see it out there. They are playing for something. Everyone is bought in. They aren't going to get pushed around anymore.

 

[Prominence Problem]

whoa, what a hit by Gudas!
