Tallon’s time is up?

[Drugs Delaney]

We aren’t run and gun. It just appears that way sometimes when we make bad turnovers.

We are outchancing and outshooting our opponents most nights. We control the play. And when we get good goaltending we win.

Goaltending is most important position on ice by far. Spotting the Rangers two or three easy goals last night from bad play, that Luo even admitted, is going to cost you wins.

Lundquist stood on his head. Luo made a couple big saves but you gotta get those in this league. There’s probably a strong correlation with strong goaltending and a winning record.

I agree that Lu needs to be playing the shooter and not waiting for the cross crease pass. I don’t think he trusts his defense.

I don't know what's more frustrating, watching a team leaving a goalie out to dry, or reading wayyy too many otherwise intelligent people blame the guy being left out to dry...

The thing with Reimer and Hutch is, the shots against were WAYYYY down (22-25 per game). They weren't being hung out to dry, maybe exposed on certain plays. Problem with Reimer that cost the Panthers so much, from game 1, is he can't seem to handle 1 on 1 situations at all. It led to losses in most shootouts, and blown leads on a number of occasions.

And for two straight games Luongo has done his best impersonation of Hutchinson, so I have to ask here, who's dropping the ball (and I'd wager on purpose), goalies or defense? And why? Or is Luongo simply too old to handle more than 5 games in a row and we REALLY need to get a backup that will give the team enough confidence to win games?

...wait...before anything...on purpose?

 

[patthebat]

Possible replacement for Dale?

 

[Dread Clawz]

Replace a failure with a failure? No thanks.

 

[EnforceTheLaus]

Pronger will replace Tallon

 

[CHGoalie27]

Man f*** anyone that says yes to this.

 

[IceManCat]

why is this its own thread

 

[Haj]

Possible replacement for Reimer?

 

[RogerRoger]

Pronger will replace Tallon

Unless he gets the Philli job.

 

[KW]

First word I saw was ‘fired’. Imagine my disappointment when it was about an ex-Flyer.

 

[ShootIt]

Possible replacement for Reimer?

Longest suspension to a Goalie: Ron Hextall-Florida Panthers.

 

[pantherbot]

I feel like Panthers are the only underperforming team that hasn't done anything. Kings, Blues, Oil, Hawks, and now Philly. I get it, we want stability, but what's the point of stability for stability sake?

 

[StrangeVision]

No thanks.

 

[Sportpsych90]

Possible replacement for Reimer?

Can we get Pronger to play D too?

 

[16Skippy]

I’m not ready to fire Tallon, especially for someone who’s biggest problem was not being able to find a good goalie.

 

[iam76]

He wanted talbot before. Wondering if he still would.. change of scenery could do him well but that stats haven't looked great.

 

[harv33173]

reimer is fine. definitely an nhl goalie and we got him at a bargain price. my problem is with lou. he seems to lose concentration at times and i believe there is some physical, or mental issue with him. the first game, or 2 after injury were fine, but after that he didn't look good. i think they are over playing him, or there is a problem they are not telling us about. i watch the games on tv so i really don't get a good overall perspective. can someone who actually goes to the game give me their perspective on lou.

 

[StrangeVision]

I genuinely don't understand how you can be fine with Reimer and have a problem with Luongo.

I don't hate Reimer, but man, he has been so hot and cold -- and mostly cold -- that I don't know how you can consider him a bargain.

If he plays like he did last night, then I'm fine with him. Not great, but the goals that went in... breakaway and two very well executed deflections... fine, I can live with that.

 

[FrolikFan67]

3.4per at 5yrs is a bargain????

 

[Ryuji Yamazaki]

Time for the boot

 

[FinlandPanther]

Tallon needs to go. No moves at all. Where the David booth move. Boughner is a pretty trash coach as well.

 

[TheImpatientPanther]

If he doesn't address the goaltending by the end of this homestand then ya I think management better have someone ready to take his place. Still think it will be Pronger if he doesn't chase the PHI job, both teams are in dire need of goal tending and that's the major thing holding them back.

 

[vendetta]

So fans are clamouring for any move just for the sake of trying something. Even tho that has
Been proven over time to rarely work.
