Post-Game Talk: VERSHAWN MICHAELS NAILS THE SWEET CHIN MUSIC. ROUND TWO

[BabyBennettov]

Hey, I saw people jumping on Barkov. I thought he was probably the best player on the ice not named Carter Verhaeghe or Gustav Forsling in games 4-5, and probably the best player on the ice not named Carter Verhaeghe or Claude Giroux in game 6.

I know, me too hehe… I was teasing you a little camrad that’s all…

Barkov was our best player, and they tightly so tightly checked him, and yet I thought he was pretty efficient… Maybe not McDavid like or Crosby, but he was in on a lot of important plays.

I too saw some weird « efforts » out of him, or coughed up puck or things that we ain’t used to see… And I would have liked to see him shoot on more occasions last night… But his performance overall was great once again, and to me, he is one of our least concerning things going forward because I didn’t saw the « bad Barkov » like I read somewhere here.

See, I know you weren’t one calling me out like this, but it’s not about being a God or thinking we know better… But like a lot of subjects on this board, I can’t get a handle on why the same fan-base can see the total opposite of the spectrum on one subject. It is really really weird…

Back on the special units topic though…

You didn’t like the adjustments on the PK or didn’t saw it ? I thought we were boxing out much better, cutting lanes and being more aggressive while being aware too of where guys stood. But maybe it was just me…

This is a great winning experience for Lundell. Hope he learns and blossoms from this

$149 plus a million dollars in Ticketmaster fees

That's how much my total was for 2 tickets in the uppers. I was going to get my tickets at the arena later on, but I heard they charge the bs ticketmaster fees now too.

I do think they were more aggressive in game 6, that's a good sign, but I'm still concerned. I don't think our PK is gonna cut it vs Tampa/Toronto, which I think are the 2 most dangerous units in the entire league. Panthers are gonna have to dig deep and fix their own Power Play. I know they can do it, I just hope it's in time.

I literally screamed when I saw that puck go into the net in OT. And jumped to my feet with both arms stretched to the air. Didn't even think about it. It was all reflex, I did it before I even knew I did it. Closed my eyes, tilted my head up, and stood there in that stance for a minute or two. Relief......

Yes and having a guy like Claude Giroux around will help also, maybe show him that a little more grit is needed/possible in his game

I hear what you are saying about Barkov. I was disappointed in some of his efforts. Then I see he was a plus 8 in the series and he actually shot the puck off the boards which resulted in Carter’s first goal in 5 game leading the comeback.

I guess I expect some much of him. That my expectations are unreal.
The same could be said of Huby.

Chiarot keeps the puck in to G who passes to Swaggy for the OT winner.

2 trade deadline acquisitions account for the game winner.

 

[FLpanthers16]

Brought a tear to my eyes literally, just poetry to my eyes and ears

 

[ProjectPanthers]

What a win what a win, what... a...win!! Miss your podcast bro, hope you stick with it.

Thanks so much!! It's coming back for sure, just been crazy busy with a newborn at home!

But but but draft picks …..

 

[batting1k]

Marchmont.. concussion ?

I don’t think so. It’s already been reported as a lower body injury and the same thing that kept him out prior to his return for the playoffs.

 

[Gizmo Tkachuk]

Hopefully Ek is good to go for Game 1.

 

[Mase]

Congratulations guys, so happy for everyone to be able to enjoy this.

 

[Gentle Man]

He got ragdolled by Ovie. Every time he was on the bench you could see the team doctor rubbing his lower back area. And I dont think jumping in the dogpile helped.

When I close my eyes I see Michael jordan

When i open them, it's Aaron f***ing Ekblad

 

[Bunch of Jurcos]

I didn't want to say anything to jinx my team but I am so happy for you guys. You've deserved a series win for your fans and I hope you can keep it going. And you beat the Caps to do it! Great job Cats!

I think you need glasses, mate

I think you need glasses, mate

Go back to covid rest foo

 

[barkovcanfinnish]

Lost in some of the excitement, Aaron Ekblad and Ben Chiarot. Absolute warriors to come back and play even after getting hurt.

We don’t win this game without them

I spent almost 100 bucks for a club level Panthers shoot twice zone ticket for game 1 round 1. Spending almost 200 for a better seat in a great area is a no brainer… It’s a once in a lifetime experience

I hope the Panthers don’t take our lifetime to get to the second round again.
