Post-Game Talk: Cats have the better Tkachuk, Panthers smoke Sens

[floridada]

Good to see Toronno lose and Boston lose (even though that probably doesn’t matter for playoffs cause they won’t make it but still it’s good to send them further down the drain).

Also even though Crosby lost again, they’re still in the chase!

I took a peak over at the laffs board and they seem to be doing well over there.

For a second I thought @TheImpatientPanther got unbanned and posted that.

Man, if only he was here to see it

Your reaction when Benny kills a Panther this next 2 weeks?

He’s gonna light up Barkov to take the 1C spot and earn a big pay day

Whoops?
I have bad visions of something silly happening.


Go USA....
USA vs Sweden final, as that matchup would have the least number of Panthers involved.

Pretty much a normal day for a Leafs fan, I take it.

Toronto also has an interesting situation with Marner, Matthews and Nylander on opposing teams. Maybe Nylander can take out whoever was pissing him off last playoffs.

And then there’s Vegas, their plan is clear, Hanifin will “check” Stone who will immediately go on LTIR, with expected full miraculous recovery coincidentally the first game of round one.

William Karlsson is already on LTIR - switched things up this year to be less obvious

In the past I used to care a lot more about these international tourneys because our guys sucked too much to participate. Now...I just want them all to not be injured and wish they could rest instead. Stanley Cup or bust.

4 nations is also not a real tournament but something NHL made up.

I don't think they should rest. Normally once you rest in the middle of the season, you play worse after that. There is of course, a risk of injury but for healthy players those few games aren't a problem.

Barkov with sorry face after scoring always get me

Agreed.

Agreed. And as far the 4 nations thing. I'm really mostly interested in the Olympics for best on best pros. I'll watch 4 nations with mild interest just because we haven't had a best on best in so long.

Nice props from the writer. But one thing I want to bring up is when he mentioned the loss of Tarasenko. I think most people on the outside don't realize how much impact Mackie has made. I think the top 9 is actually better than last season. Let's face it, Tarasenko was okish. But Mackie >Tarasenko, could be a bigger gap if Mackie continues to play like this for the rest of the season. And Tarasenko was brought in to be an upgrade on what we had before the deadline.
And I know the 4th line is not as good as last season, personnel wise and depth wise. Greer is the only one on par with last season's 4th line. But with the upgrade in the top 9, I think things even out.
