Have another thought. IF the Panthers were playing Carolina, wouldn't their gameplan include HURTING their players? Meaning.... being super physical and imposing their will on them until they break down?
There hasn't been ENOUGH physicality in the offensive zone and hemming them in. For crying out louid, they don't even have Pesce.
We should be ALL OVER their defensemen.
Prior to PO's, I had predicted 2 Short Handed goals.......check.
Prior to the PO's, I had predicted we would go 16-7 throughout. We're standing at 7-2, we are on course.
End the fans panic. Win Thursday.
