Bless the Panthers and Maurice

Thanks Rags
If we can just keep this Florida pick top 15 man we're gonna be laughing at the draft

When things get bad and we are feeling crappy... just think, we could be Panthers fans...

 

[Gravity]

Panthers may fire Maurice and go on a little run.

 

[Gainesvillain]

Sens can pass the Panthers with a win tonight, too.

 

[Captain97]

Reinbacher? That was off my radar…

I want Reinbacher with Florida's pick bad

Jaroslav Halak gets us the win.

Gonna need a historic run to get out of this mess...

Not enough to make the playoffs but enough to mess up our pick. Hope they keep PoMo until the end of the season.

Thats it, Panthers open the month with a loss, are now 2 L under .500 and spend 9 of their next 11 games on the road against good teams.

Meaning that even if they play for .500 in that stretch, its going to be mathematically almost impossible to make the playoffs at that point. A broken team without that motivation to make the playoffs can really struggle for the reminder of the calendar, it could get really ugly for them.

Tankathon showing the Florida pick at #8 right now based on Winning Percentage.

The Chicago (#1) / San Jose (#4) game also means some bottom team is picking up point/s
Ottawa (#10) currently leading also helps

Florida is a team that had players go out and get drunk before game 4 of their series against Tampa Bay last year. I hope it gets uglier for them and that they sink even more in the standings.

Just keep those losses piling Fla and everything will be just fine.

 

[CHfan1]

Florida now has as many regulation losses (18) as they did all of last season.

 

[Locks]

That was a four point game for Florida as they directly compete with NYR for a wild card spot. It is now 10 points that separate them. So the big blowout game against the Habs does not seem to give them a boost.

 

[Koivu11]

Build a statue of Hughes and Gorton outside the Bell Centre if they turn Chiarot into Bedard.

Jaroslav Halak gets us the win.

Halak still does the job, where's Carey

The fact that it could still easily be higher is just too sweet. Add two high picks to what we already have and it's going to be a VERY fun next few years.

I watched the game and Halak was very good, and made some outstanding saves.

Who can we get at pick 5?

You sure? We just picked First Overall and we're not more fun.

Slaf doesn’t go first most years.

 

[Michoulicious]

Another excellent night, with Florida's loss, Ottawa and San Jose currently winning.

I don't expect we or Florida can reach Columbus, Chicago or Anaheim level of mediocrity, but there is certainly an outside chance to out-tank San Jose, Philly and Arizona.

 

[HuGo Sham]

there's half a season left. I think it's pretty safe to say our pick will be top 5; if somehow that Fla picks sneaks into like the top 8, this becomes franchise changing - when one thinks about the pieces we already have with suzuki, Slaf, CC, Dach, Guhle, Xekaj, Hutson, Beck--you add two of Yager, Carlsson etc, let alone Bedard. Holy shit.

Hughes also has 21 mill in cap space to add a PLD AND the cap will be significantly up in 3 years to keep all these guys.

keep the faith

 

[montreal]

What if only 1 happens?

pick is in '25 then.

Post you quoted said “Next few years”. You need to wait 2-3 years not just 35 games.
