Post-Game Talk: Play 1 period, get 1 point. Panthers lose 3-2 in a shootout

[IceManCat]

Barkov has been looking for the pretty play too often he needs to go from point a to point b and score

 

[sinDer]

Honestly a win vs isles and njd and it is a successful trip. Didnt look great tonight though

Seriously, I'm sick of reading things like that after every loss: "we lost, but it's all good, just win the next 2 games and we'll be alright"

Come on...

I want to understand why hussle and physicality is the exception and not the norm? Why do we have to be playing from behind to start playing at all?

The team lacks leaders and lacks f***ing nastiness. We need a Tom Wilson or a Wayne Simmonds or someone who’s give a f*** meter isn’t set at zero at the start of the game.

I want to see an irate red faced howling coach Q behind the bench when the team f***s up.

Where’s the f***ing emotion and the push back.

I say take the point and run. Build on the solid third period and get two wins on the road to make this a successful trip.

Out high danger chances them severely and out xgf them 60%. Gotta finish. Everyone gripping their sticks worrying about getting off to a good start. Except Hoffman.

 

[Boothinator]

Malgin got time in OT? Wtf?!

This team just isn’t very exciting to watch... hate to say it but the problem is the same: there’s no leadership. I’m looking at Barkov, Huby, Troch, Ek, and Yands. Coaching and goaltending is not the issue, these guys just don’t do enough to lead this group especially when it matters most.

 

[vendetta]

Matheson was excellent most of tonight

I missed first period so cannot comment. From start of second we were better team

 

[StrangeVision]

I'd guess the constant changes take time to mesh. With a new system and too many new players, it takes some time. Not that this is a good thing.

I agree with that, but it doesn't account for the apparent lack of hustle and emotion. Year after year, every iteration of the Panthers seemingly refuses to bear down until there's barely enough time to make a difference.

 

[sinDer]

I was wondering if he is hurt.

He is hurt or out of shape. There's no doubt about it in my mind.

U saw it. We were down 2-0 and pushed back to tie it.

 

[PanthersHockey1]

Ralph kruger is coaching a new team, who on paper are VASTLY inferior to the Florida panthers. What’s his excuse for a good start?

No we were not.

yeah with Barkov. I thought it was a terrible move

God bless you mate. I wished I had a shred of your optimism.

 

[vendetta]

No we were not.

Well buffalo players coaches and all the stats say your wrong

Matheson was excellent most of tonight

When he made a mistake, he made up for it on his next shift.

 

[FinlandPanther]

same thing every time. We gotta, but we won't.

 

[pantherbot]

Just got caught up. It's so obvious these guys have the talent, but they just need to work harder. Watching those lazy back checks was painful. Glad we got a point, but man these guys really need to have more intensity.

Carolina just dismantled the isles. Outshot 40-19.

Have to agree. Not sure how Gallant did it but he got these guys to work their asses off.

Our fourth line was the best for about a period and a half of the game, it's unacceptable.
