GDT: Florida Tourism Board | Hurricanes @ Panthers | 7:30 PM

[rocky7]

I expect they'll come out absolutely flying and either get a goal, or a penalty on the very first shift. or give up a break away and get scored on...

 

[cptjeff]

Yeah, I'll watch it, or at least some of it. It's the battle of the two worst Power Plays in the league (haven't done the math to see if it's still feasible, but the Panthers have been challenging for the league record all year). How can you miss that kind of exciting matchup?

 

[tarheelhockey]

This may actually be the least relevant matchup in the current NHL landscape.

 

[Wild Caniac]

I'll be watching the first period then watching Minnesota vs St. Louis in a MUCH more important matchup.

 

[What the Faulk]

I watched every game of the 2010 Carolina Panthers. I don't miss games.

Orrrr, are Malholtra and Dvorak starting on the 1st line?!? That's the beauty of it...who even knows.

Obvious trade incoming for #KadriGardinerSecond

 

[Anton Babchuk]

It's an attempt to gain a match-up advantage by confusing the opposing coaches as to which line is out there. You see this happen every now and then. I bet they don't even play a shift. One or two of them will switch right after the faceoff.

 

[TheOllieC]

As for Oilers, I'd rather have E Staal than Tavares. Brings size, physicality, he's good defensively unlike Tavares and he'd come a lot cheaper.

Real quotes from the main board to entertain you during this game.

 

[Wild Caniac]

#leadership mentioned in first 5 minutes. Drink.

 

[Blueline Bomber]

Its 5 minutes in and I've already had enough Nash for the night.

That team was at least amusing to watch, in a Benny Hill sort of way.

 

[garnetpalmetto]

The Panthers dressed Krys Barch? Good thing we have Westgarth! Oh wait...

Seriously though I remember seeing Krys Barch play in the ECHL for the Greenville Grrrowl. Columbia had Eric Boulton on its roster and, IRC, Boulton tried to get Barch to go but Barch had no interest in dropping them.

Edit: Slutty George! Of course he'd score in South Florida.

 

[TheOllieC]

Whoa good patience from Slutty.

 

[Unsustainable]

Slutty!

 

[Wild Caniac]

Beautiful goal.

 

[cptjeff]

Lusty!

 

[TheOllieC]

But to be honest I think that was Campbell sucking more than Tlusty making a good play

You could put together a Jimmy Clausen highlight reel set to that music by itself.

Flyers did that last night against the Rangers. They started Read-Couturier-Giroux and then immediately went back to Hartnell-Giroux-Voracek. Of course that speaks to a clear difference in depth, but yeah.

Dear Chantel, did you borrow that dress from the Purple People Eater?
