Post-Game Talk: Feline

A win is a win. Florida is bad. The Panthers have Bobrovsky under contract for three more seasons. They traded away all of their first round picks to win last season. They brought in Maurice. Bad group of defensemen.

They really aren't that bad, their goaltending is awful though. But their 5v5 metrics are still top-5 in the NHL.

You'd think a former Vezina winner and a highly regarded rookie in Knight wouldn't be so terrible.

Goaltending has always been, and forever will be, voodoo.

When he starts scoring a few? I like him on thr 4th line and he's much improved from last year but he's not poised to be a goal scorer.

LOL...wait until he has a hat trick later this season . Calling it now ! Haha.....

Hiring Maurice never looked good and it's only looked worse. No idea why they went that route.

Thing is, like us when we are playing poorly, they leave a lot to be desired in front of their own net. We scored 5, all from 15ft and in. And not one was the rebound, deflection hard hat kind. Goaltending wasn’t great but their team D in the paint is worse than ours right now. 3 goals should win you the game half the time. It’s the D that needs to step up for them, not just cleaning up the front of their own net but transition game was spotty at times. That FL team has very similar issues to us but to a more extreme level right now. The amount of space in this game compared to the Tampa or Caps game was night and day.

Even Panarin scored from the slot. That’s rarer than Halley’s Comet.
