[I am not exposed]

Think we will win this game.

 

[EnforceTheLaus]

They played Pits last night and went to OT. Should win this game.

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

I watched their game today, they got destroyed by the Penguins. Embarrassed. Kinkaid is a guess but 3 in 4 and after that game Schneider deserves a rest. I think they might come out flying because it was disgraceful how they played, they had a 5 on 3 for 2 minutes and got 1 shot.

 

[Howboutthempanthers]

Nobody float please.

 

[Dabeast]

Just a heads up Upshall is the 4RW and a health scratch. Also the Panthers got lucky. No Schneider for them!

 

[Gizmo Tkachuk]

George Richards @GeorgeRichards
Tomas Fleischmann and Scottie Upshall appear to be back in for #FlaPanthers ... Jimmy Hayes and Tomas Kopecky likely out v #njDevils

George Richards @GeorgeRichards
We're thinking Kopecky sits because he's a little banged up; Hayes because he's gone 6 games w/out a point and someone has to. #FlaPanthers

Backup goalies around the league own us

 

[Android 16]

Maybe they can take Jagr, Elias and Cammy with us to the next game. While we're in the area.

And I feel like the Guddy, Petrovic pairing is going to get exposed.

 

[TheEkbombIsReal]

Kinkaid will go Vezina Mode. Every freaking backup goalie does that when they play us.

Haven't seen the last few games (damn work), is it right to sit Hayes? I still feel we have a better chance of winning with Hayes in than Flashbang.

 

[GrumpyKelly]

They had 14 shots on goal against the Pens last night... gotta win this one. Also can't see their older guys being very pumped on a back to back and being out of the playoff race.

 

[Big Bjugs]

I can see us taking these guys lightly and pissing away another 2pts.

 

[EnforceTheLaus]

Don't like Hayes out, even though he hasn't been on the scoresheet his big a good physical presence laying big hits cleanly.

 

[FlaPnthrsPunk]

After looking at the stats of their game last night, there is absolutely no reason for the Panthers to lose this game. It would be essential since I'm not so sure about our chances in Monday's game at MSG.

Yeah... I don't like Hayes being out either despite him not getting a point in his last six games. Bolland did get a point in the last game, but still don't understand why he gets a free pass to play every game.

I watched their game just to see how they play as a team.

And to be honest i have not seen a team get that dominated in years.

 

[Juggernaut27]

Game plan: sneak in and steal their team bottle of Geritol. Profit.

Edit: that audio clip is the best thing I've heard all week.

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

Anyone worried about Kinkaid didn't watch the game last night. It's a huge break for the Panthers. Schneider was unreal.

 

[SladeWilson23]

Good luck tonight guys!

Kinkaid is starting in net tonight.

 

[Gentle Man]

Don't like sitting Kopecky AND Hayes. Maybe one, not both. team seems "small" with those two out.

 

[Aksu]

That audio clip! Laughed so hard at the ending

 

[MPGA]

I'm not completely throwing in the towel, but I'm not too optimistic we make the playoffs. And that is ok. I think this season has been a big step in the right direction and I'm glad it is almost February and we are playing meaningful hockey games. I've been a diehard Panthers fan since our amazing Cup run made me fall in love with the game and as a result, I grew up playing travel roller hockey here in South Florida. While all my teammates were cheering for Detroit, Colorado and New Jersey I stuck with this sad franchise through all the crap years and I'm not about to give up now. That being said, I don't know if I could have handled another year of beer league level hockey and 6-1 final scores.

Oh yea and please win tonight, boys! This team embarrassed us in our home opener so it's time to show these geriatrics what for!

I changed it, IIRC it was Kulikov/Petrovic last game.

 

[FlaPantherSwe*]

Nice another backup goalie game!

[adam graves]

Scratching my head over HAYES our 4th best goal scorer sitting.
