Post-Game Talk: Rags 3 @ Panthers 4 - Trocheck Probably Still Whining

[Gizmo Tkachuk]

Keep Lockwood on the 3rd. He’s earned it over Cousins

I think the Leafs could be a dangerous team if Woll comes back at 100%. With Samsonov... no.

Woll is playing over his head right now. The book will start to be out on him soon.

Just needs some points. Very smart player, could be some upside there as a Lomberg/Cousins like replacement for forechecking and speed aspect.

This revamped PK this year has really been a difference. Rangers have an insane PP and we made them look pedestrian, not one PP goal (shorty aide lmao)

Pretty sure the last three games look a lot different if we werent as good on the kill.

 

[PBPantherfan]

The number of Rags fans on twitter saying the Refs lost them the game. Said Barkov dove twice. So much for NY fans being intelligent.

I would just like to understand what Chuck is doing right now. He is fumbling pucks like crazy and is a shell of his former self. No one is talking about it. Must be a serious injury.

theyre quiet on that no call goalie interference though lol

his shooting is absolutely horrendous but hes making plays for others, i think he was in on 2 assists tonight.
Overall hes third for assists on the team, hopefully he gets in the groove soon.
Past few games i noticed him getting more physical and out in front of the net, hopefully hes feeling better from the injury

When I think of Clutch I think of Michael Jordan, Kobe, And Carter Verhaeghe

TB as well, they're 2nd PP and VGK is 12th. Went 7 for 7 vs those 3 teams.

Stenlund and Mikkola been great on PK.
Barkov and Reinhart on it as well.

They'll be fine, they probably get to beat up Jersey like one or maybe even two more times.

So many games now where he could driven to net but he bites harder than Barkov to make an pass.

How was the game decided by it? They scored shorthanded during the penalty and then we came back lmao.

If there was no call, we still would’ve had the lead lol

Good thing Stolarz will be in net tomorrow, Bob needs a couple days off after getting banged around tonight.

It's nice to finally have a player who is good enough and will be a Panther long enough to put up some impressive team records.

 

[Felidae]

Barkov is potentially the first HHOF player the Panthers have drafted if he ages as well as other two way forwards like Kopi and Bergeron. Enjoy it while it lasts.

I’ve really liked barkov’s game this year, and I haven’t been shy about being critical of him over the years. His acceleration and speed is very solid, his hands are the best on the team, while he doesn’t pose too much of a pp threat to score himself he’s still one of the most important cogs on the D. I’ve said it for a while but our ability to enter the O zone and being able to establish ourselves during the PP greatly dwindles when he’s not on the ice, he’s also one of the best on the team during the pp to easily control a puck that’s wrapped hard around the boards and to keep himself out of danger and to cycle the puck. His D game is obviously fantastic. This season, for the first time, he’s been an effort to actually finish checks. He’s even taken a handful of penalties this season, which isn’t necessarily good but maybe shows his willingness to be more aggressive when pursuing opposing players vs previous years. I think he’s capable of more goals. Just want a little more willingness to shoot, which I’ve seen sometimes this season but overall think he could still be a little more aggressive in that sense but all in all I think he’s having a good season as he’s slowly changing some of his “bad” habits

Also love to see him and Reinhart meshing so well, as they should. Didn’t make sense that they didn’t at times previously but with some time they eventually got there. They’re both such incredibly smart players that putting them together should be a perfect fit and it has been. Great players to have stapled on the 1st line as they can produce offensively but also do all the little things correct to play as a top defensive line that you deploy against the other teams best. If they do re-sign Reinhart longterm, it’d be great to have longterm pairings of Barkov-Reinhart and Verhaeghe-Tkachuk

**** off Tro; have a lousy new year.

I read the Rags post game thread. Mostly pretty fair analysis, and the player interviews with Zib, Kreider and Trouba showed that they all think FLA is a good, tough team that can go deep again.

All fan bases have a bias but here the Rags fans comments are pretty decent… the only thing I hated was how “Panthers got the bounces”. The Rangers first goal was getting a bounce. The Panthers first, second and third were not, and the fourth only was if you think breaking a stick while blocking a shot is the same as giving the other team a bounce.

They all think they’ll beat Tampa and them at the TDL they want to pull Stamkos away from the Bolts. That hubris pisses me off too.

Ive always been critical of Barky and his lack of assertiveness. Tonight was probably the best game I've ever seen him play. He took the game over which when a player with that toolset does, theres no answer for. Hope we get more games like this from him.
