Series Talk: ECFs Discussion - Return of the Jerks! - Panthers Lead 2-0

[Chaos2k7]

This team is insane when a Panthers HFBoarder goes to Europe.

Didn't @ucanthanzalthetruth say he wanted to visit Bulgaria for game 5? It's a lock I tell ya

2000 post thread on Stolarz injury but dirty Aho and Svech hit threads locked, just gross. Hope Bennett hits Aho with the Rock Bottom game 3.

They hate us 'cause they ain't us.

I can't say our style is built for love and respect. But who the f*** cares? Suck it

Pretty sure they still lead the series in SOG.

They just have no real scoring threats.

TBF, this is why they tried to hit a home run with Rantanen.

This series reminds me of 2012 Kings-Coyotes

LOL

Pretty sure we'll be compared to Germany in the 40's soon on Reddit.


Then the Reino hit

Hey, there's a bunch of us permanently over here. You're welcome.

Just to say that we lost the only games I tried to catch live. I was planning to (try to) watch Saturday's game but have now learnt my lesson and ALL games from now on are going to be watched the day after on catch up.

In unrelated news - why the 8pm plus start times???!!! I really try but I'm asleep by the time they get round to the anthems... I'm just not made as stern stuff as @Cats711

This wasn’t ever gonna happen, so purely hypothetically, as a thought exercise… can you imagine what ECF would have been like if the Leafs had advanced by some incredible, undeserved luck?

Woulda given the WC soccer finals a run for its softness.

@zeroG posted a Canes podcast in the other thread, it was their local reporters / crew shooting the shit at the arena after the game, just a couple comments:

1. As much as we might rag on the Canes, they have a great broadcast team, those guys are actually quite sharp and entertaining. But...

2. A couple of them argued strongly that the Canes need to be meaner and more physical and throw the body more, try to punish the Panthers in a series like this. Couldn't disagree more. The Canes need to make these games as boring as possible, and it was precisely Svechnikov, Ghost, and Aho trying to injure our players that enticed the Panthers to stop screwing around and mollywop them last night.

I believe it’s to try and wait for the west coast/Pacific time zone audience as the game starts early at 5pm local time.

Yep. In the Conference/Cup Finals, all games will start at or maybe a little after 8pm.

Canes have scored three goals this series:
A kick that shouldn't have counted
An offside that didn't count
A goal in the dying minutes of a 6-0 blowout

We gotta keep rolling

I love how the narrative is that the Panthers aren't doing anything out of the ordinary besides being extremely dirty. All the pundits, reddit sludge and other knuckle-draggers are spending their entire time complaining about that the teams faced by the Panthers are somehow fundamentally flawed (there's truth to it ofc) but imo thus far there's very little recognition of the Panthers simply being an incredible team with no apparent weak points. Universities will establish faculties just to study this team for years to come

If the Panthers win it all, the NHL fundamentally have to strive to change their roster with highly skilled guys that can bang bodies, there are not many of them, you basically have to groom them for years into that kind of players, Diamond in the rough, or reclaimed projects, Marchment was good example of this. we need him back.
