Post-Game Talk: Kulikov is a -2 as Panthers drop game 1 to Leafs 5-4

[FinlandPanther]

I mean I don’t think they could play a worse period ever again so there’s that lol

 

[ScottyMascotty]

relax, it's just 33-67

 

[Gentle Man]

Well this season was fun while it lasted

 

[Felidae]

So you want to re-sign him for multiple years? Like some people were saying?

No I just think the conversation is a bit too early after 1 game.

Not sure I would resign him but if he's willing to play at a discount it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. He could still be a good backup and possibly mentor for a younger goalie (assuming we get one)

 

[I am not exposed]

Overreaction central in here, our lurkers must be loving it

Apologies.

Tampa in 7.

 

[Chaos2k7]

I believe the Leafs can blow any lead

well see how the rest of this game plays out.

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

Game 5 vs. Edmonton was pretty bad, right @ucanthanzalthetruth

That was the 1 game Bob solely cost them lol, telling yall it happens once a round

I would definitely 'resign' him.

As for re-signing, I'm not against it if the cap makes sense. I was more poking fun at some people saying he could easily be a top tier goaltender in his mid 40s, which I thought was ludicrous at the time.

They can enjoy while it lasts.
Only 1 period.

 

[Gentle Man]

If we aren’t winning every game I don’t want any part of it simple as that

 

[sinDer]

Good period for Toronto.

But the good news is that their lead is more about us beating ourselves than them being that good.

Now the question is: do they want it enough to bounce back? It’s been my concern before this series. After back to back finals and a cup, I don’t think that it’s humanly possible for them to want it as much as Toronto does right now. And that’s why, I think, we’ll lose this series.

 

[Pink Panther]

This is what happens when you put too much effort into making a GDT

 

[DarthRevenue]

Got them right where we want them. Give them hope. Now if we can get the panthers to come out if the tunnel instead of the San Jose sharks next period we may have a chance

Do it for Schmidt!

 

[Panteras]

Well, we got owned that period. As long as we split in Toronto though I’ll take it.

 

[IceManCat]

2 goal lead the most dangerous lead in hockey

Oh yeah I agree, I don't think he'll be elite at that age. He wasn't even this year tbh.

 

[Gentle Man]

So what’s the moves

Do we let Bennett walk? Who replaces Schmidt? Ekblad? Let Boqvist and Balinskis go

Trade Verhaeghe we aren’t very good

 

[KW]

Guys, in a way it’s a tie game.

Bob let in 3 goals on 12 shots, 0.750sv%.

Stoli let in 1 goal on 4 shots, 0.750sv%.

So guess what we need to do more than them in period 2?

 

[IceManCat]

Not to make excuses, but having a second pair of Mikkola and Jones is much better than having a second pair of Mikkola and Kulikov.

The Leafs have some serious fire power and having more top defenseman in the lineup is much better than not having them ...

 

[Pink Panther]

I just mute ESPN during the intermissions.

 

[Gentle Man]

Whole team right now

Trade Barkov

 

[batting1k]

3-0 with Balinskis, so this isn’t good at all
