Our forward line up is SOLID. If we can carry our goal scoring success into the playoffs and Bob plays better we're in for an actual run...

yeah, experience and goaltending are the only areas where Panthers in my opinion could lose against Tampa. Panthers really look like a stronger team right now and is riding on a wave. Sadly this ride can end quickly or lead all the way to the finals because of strong opponents in the same division.

But Panthers own Vasi this year. Not to mention Bob has the recent upset of Tampa Bay in his back pocket.

How can you say they have the edge goaltending wise?

Because certain people have given up on Bob and can’t understand that some others haven’t.

If karma exists for having a way above cap playoff payroll...

Because Vasi is regarded as one of the best, if not the best goaltender in the league?

We shall see how it plays out.

No doubt Vasi is the better goalie by far, he will be better sheltered if they are fully healthy.
I think is down to 2 things, Goalie and penalty kill, we are better at 5 on 5.

Tampa is elite special teams, both PK and PP.

We are the definitions of average, and honestly could be worse given the schedule and the fact Ekblad did play half the season.

If there are more than 3 penalties a game total, we may be in trouble. Even 3 is too much.

Bobs gonna have to win to stay in the lineup.

I think the plan from Q is to play Bob first, if he sh***ts the bed, he will not play another game in this round, because we have options.

Are we Sunday night yet!?

I’m like a kid waiting for Xmas. Except kids have Xmas once a year. We Panthers’ fans have playoffs once every decade...

 

[PanthersHockey1]

Starting to get excited. We the fans that are left deserve a Stanley cup.

You can go from Bob to Judge, but you can't go from Judge to Bob. Confidence is key for Bob. I have no issues with this call.

Watching Bruins-Caps... hope Panthers are ready for the increase in physicality.

Everyone is flying out there. Vanacek hurt, Andy is now in goal for Caps

How did Craig Anderson start there?

I do get a little sick and tired of the TV commercials. They show the Sabres but not the Panthers. Even the pregame opening showed the Kwafs 4/5times and only one quick glimpse of the Panthers, think it was Barky scoring but I'm probably wrong as it was so quick.

We get zero respect.

I wouldn't say that. We closed out the season very strong on the pk. Granted, they will have Kuch and Stammer back who are probably their 2 best pp players, but Point may be out.

Normally I’d be like, “hell no, the playoffs are completely different” but now, we’re a player.
