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

[RogerRoger]

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

I'd rather Reimer at 3.4 for 1 more year instead of Bob at 10 for 6 + Darling.
Heck, they both had .900 behind virtually the same defense .

I really hope the optimists around here are right about Bob and he bounces back in a big way. Otherwise our only hope is Knight being the fastest developed starter since Carey Price and Bob simultaneously developing a mysterious medical condition.

 

[I am not exposed]

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”.

So are you and Cold Cat going to follow the season?

Cold Cat. If Tippett wins the Calder, will that not be 'real' as well?

I guarantee if we win the Stanley Cup you guys will be celebrating it like a 'real' victory.

I doubt I'm going to pay for centre ice. Probably just listen to the games on the radio, seeing how all the games here in Canada will be Canadian teams most likely.

If he wins the Calder it will be the greatest win there ever was! And if the Panthers win the Stanley Cup, then I'm out. I'm leaving this hellhole on top.

2 of 15 nhl.com staff actually think panthers will make the playoffs. https://www.nhl.com/news/stanley-cup-picks-for-2020-2021/c-320040646

Better than zero, I guess.

Better than zero, I guess.

Like Benjamin Franklin once said:«In this world, nothing is certain except death, taxes and the Florida Panthers not making the playoffs. »

Hey! So is Yandle gonna be playing in your lineup?
I saw a rumor that he was on the outside looking in and was curious if that was true? (for hockey pool reasons)

Stay far away from Yands this year for fantasy hockey.
If you've already drafted Yands, thoughts and prayers. I doubt he will live up to value this year.

darn... I'll see if I can trade him

Panthers don't open until the 17th, so you have some time to move him before the word gets out there.

A Tampa fan told me today that Lightning won’t have attendance at first .... not sure if rumor or true ....

They were supposed to but just recently said they won’t have fans now due to a spike in that area I believe.

Geez. I hope it won’t affect us... I have two seats for the opener.

How many people here are going to the games? I was checking the tickets on Tick Pick out of curiosity and was shocked to see the lower bowl tickets going for $40 even with this limited availability

 

[Prominence Problem]

The game is at 7 p.m. EST on Sunday. Also being broadcast on Sportsnet in Canada.

 

[iam76]

its so panthers that we don't play till Sunday. why do we exist

That’s for a Tuesday night game for upper bowl I think. I’m guessing that Covid is depressing though with many season tickets holders buying in hopes of going later in the season/supporting the team.

once I get vaccinated likely in March/April, I’m planning to do a week of games for example and fly down

 

[Prominence Problem]

Is someone doing a proper GDT for the season opener? Or should we just use and continue with this thread?

 

[Ghoste]

Everyone busting out their 3rd sweaters, figure we'd wear ours in the opener also?

Normally @pb1300 is itching to do the season/home opener? His are worth the wait.
Or @SoupyFIN has the GDT thread rolling.
If nobody steps up by tomorrow afternoon, I'll maybe start working on one in case.

I watched their game, they played Tampa well. Only reason they in the Wings group and arent in the mix with Fla, CBJ, NSH and Dallas is they are tanking with their goalies. If they had Crawford it would be an 86 point team or so.

86 points with or without Toews?

I bought the NHL package. I’m expecting good things this year.

When will they announce our 3rd jersey? (not reverse retro)
