Post-Game Talk: Panthers spot Kraken a 2 goal lead but Bob shines while Forsling, Tkachuk and Cousins score a 3-2 win

[WaitingForThatCab]

I missed the game, very happy to see that the Panthers came away with a W. Is this the first time the team has ever beaten Seattle?

Team is doing very well IMO for being a MASH unit out there. The biggest positive? 2-0 vs the Eastern Conference, and both against playoff competitors.

For all of my past criticism of PoMo, I think he's doing well with what the team has to deal with right now.

We're 2-3-0 vs them now.

Ot but if you are on twitter do not watch the Adam Johnson video if you want to sleep. Sounds like he has died too...

Better than I thought.

 

[Gizmo Tkachuk]

Mo said they like ugly wins. We gonna get ugly wins.

 

[Felidae]

People won't like it, but PoMo deserves a lot of credit for that win lol

Even a shitter strikes gold every once in a while

Doesn't Kulikov lead our E core in assists?

Explain that buddy...yeah explain that

 

[Panthers Propaganda]

Shame the Reinhart goal got called back that was a nice snipe

Watched the rebroadcast of the game, honestly, they played really well tonight. I'm kind of impressed. I didn't think the first period was as bad as most of you... outside of the goal, they certainly weren't getting caved in like Seattle was during the 2nd period and most of the 3rd.

Really like what Maurice did with the bottom six, and it worked. Seattle couldn't handle 94-27-21 at any point during the game. That line is worth keeping together for a few more games to see if it's not a fluke. Also like that second unit power play. Guys who want to shoot the puck, it makes a big difference.

Niko Mikkola is a keeper, IMO. Once again, whoever is in charge of this team's pro scouting needs a raise.

Seattle was pretty lucky this game was even close late in the third period.

Raise for Mikkola. A pay cut for Kulikov

People have been whining non-stop but if Florida had this difficult schedule and a perfectly healthy team (Ek, Montour, and Bennett), I wouldn't have had them better than 4-3 (split 4 In Minny, Peg, NJD, and Tor), beat Vancouver and San Jose, lose to Seattle. They're missing all those guys and still 4-3, Bob looks good for regular season Bob, biggest complaint is about a 7th dman lol.

Only negative is special teams and it's early. Panthers came back down 3-1 against the best NHL team ever, .500 in October is nothing.

There's a little Finnish in all of us. That's why we always complain. We'd complain if we won the CUP on why did Kulikov give up that turnover in the first period

Ot but if you are on twitter do not watch the Adam Johnson video if you want to sleep. Sounds like he has died too...

This is like a invitation to go search it on twitter. *heads to twitter*
edit: oh........

Please God . Secondary scoring needs to start.. Lundy,Starboy..

 

[WaitingForThatCab]

I totally missed this watching the game. Tremendous presence of mind here by Forsling, think he saves a goal.

 

[batting1k]

Montour and Ekblad definitely coming back before Bennett…

how this is going to happen capwise? Keep Knight in the AHL, put Kulikov and Balinskis on waivers? Is that enough?

Only Ekblad is on LTIR. His cap hit is 7,5m and we have 6,84m of cap space so just send one guy down and we're all good.

Also Knight or Stolarz has no impact on the cap because Stolarz salary is basically the same as cap relief on Knight in AHL. They probably structured it that way.

 

[TheImpatientPanther]

It was scary how good these two did last night.

 

[FinlandPanther]

Mikkola has seriously impressed me this season.

 

[cowboy82nd]

Don’t look now, but we’re 2-0 when I say “Loss confirmed” before the next game

Keep it up.

 

[Gentle Man]

No shot we win 3 in a row tomorrow.

It's not March yet

 

[WaitingForThatCab]

I liked the way we played Toronto. I think we can squeak one out against Boston, even without Benny.

Kulikov to AHL

Maybe just me, but admittedly I didn't see much the first game or two but he's become more noticeable with every game it seems.
