Pre-Game Talk: Panthers open up season vs Blackhawks January 17

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

Who do you think will be Floridas taxi team?

quoting for here so it's more relevant but it's washed up vets who will clear waivers or younger guys you aren't worried about rotting in the pressbox. Minimum of 4 guys, max of 6.

I'll say Scott Wilson, Connaughton, Monty (carrying a 3rd goalie on the taxi squad is mandatory), and Stillman or Keeper? Maybe Borgstrom, not sure.

Fwiw, saarela got injured in his team’s first game back since their covid break on 12/28. Not sure the extent of it.

Of course he did. Damn, he really could have added some goals to the bottom 6.

It’s okay: means that we can give Denisenko a slot when Saarela heals.

I mean it's a great year to tank, problem is the division is too bad. It's actually pretty unique, the 2 Cup finalists from last year and the likely 31st and 30th teams, odd blend.

I'm not sure it's a great year to tank, at least not regarding the draft. The draft will be even more of a crapshot, no in-person interview, OHL season?, incomparable season, etc.

This game is either not happening so Florida opens against a garbage Chicago team, or they will be very shorthanded. Win/win.

But Chicago would have 2 real games under their belt. Not sure I want that.

I’d prefer to play against a very shorthanded Dallas team before.

Let’s start this season 4-0!

In before jokes about Panthers’ attendance...

Hot Canadian Talk Radio Take: Florida Panthers only lead the league in attendance when we don’t want attendance! Relocate to Quebec!

Wow, facing Chicago, Florida's worst opening night opponent in years, incoming sweep

Of course, our games get ppd. Fml.

Dallas is the ultimate jinx. 3 games in a row ppd

 

[Gizmo Tkachuk]

No way it's just going to be contained to 8 members of Dallas staff only. I saw how that worked with the Marlins and Cardinals during the past MLB season

 

[ProjectPanthers]

Pretty bullshit if we have to wait until Sunday to play meanwhile all other teams get to work out their kinks before facing us.

What a f***ing gong show this is shaping up to be.

Now that pushes the first game to the last day of my vacation. I was hoping to get in 3 games before I had to go back to work.

I was thinking the exact same thing. Almost eerie that they open the season in Dallas, it's postponed, and in March last year the regular season was ultimately canceled when they were in Dallas. Deja vu.

I'm going into this season just like I went into the past hockey playoffs, the baseball season, and the football season. I don't think this season will happen, so not sure I want to watch. I'll still follow along, but I'm not paying the big bucks to watch their games.

I think we'll be seeing a lot of tweets like that.

Blue Jackets have 19 players miss practice

 

[Ryuji Yamazaki]

There’s gonna be a lot of postponed games. I’m not really counting this season, or last, as ones where the cup is “real”.

Darling laughs all the way to the bank.

Happily pay Darling 2 million to never watch Reimer start for Florida again
