Post-Game Talk: OP went to bed early, Panthers probably lost to Canucks

[Marco 85]

Every shot is from a distance with nobody in front

 

[iam76]

Telling yah these boards are terrible

 

[Great8Cam]

Balinskis is bad and the Adam Boqvist isn’t any better. We need a trade

 

[ProjectPanthers]

Schmidt on the ice for all 3 goals. He's looked rough the last few games.

*looks up*

Goldie: “Here comes Hughes on the move against Ekblad”

*looks down*

 

[StrangeVision]

*Mikkola craps out on a shot*

Love when the timing works out like that.

 

[ProjectPanthers]

I think if they netted one there before the end of the 2nd the 3rd would be a lot more promising but with the way Lankinen is playing tonight this one might be over.

 

[BabyBennettov]

Mikkola and Kulikov on the ice with seconds left for an offensive-zone draw while trailing 3-0... Like we're gonna score !? lol

Never change Paul, you're a champion.

 

[BabyBennettov]

Our D is terrible and yet Maurice keeps going to our worst pairs...

Mikkola - Kulikov is bad bad bad, yet he can't stay one game without going back to it.

Uvis isn't cutting it... I don't care you all hate Adam but this is getting ridiculous... Both vanilla players but atleast one has some great tools, Uvis is just clueless and skating on the perimeter never taking any chances... It's ridiculous.

Schmidt looks cooked ! He should be a rotation-player on our bottom-pair, but keeps being played because we need his intangibles in the lineup, we get it... The guy can crack a joke and loosen a lockerroom but damned, he just looks so bad too.

I agree. Boqvist is fairly young and has dealt with a ton of injuries, there's still some potential there. His past seasons in CBJ are also better than anything Balinskis has done. Almost half a point per game over 133 games (3 seasons) is serviceable.

Yeah doesn't look like Nate Schmidt will have a resurgence with us..perhaps injuries and aging have taken their toll.

 

[zeroG]

another vote for more of boqvist on D. it's not necessarily the mistakes from balls, which all the guys make occasionally. it's the fact he's in there to provide a little offense and the guy just cannot get a shot through from the point to save his life.

tough game tonight. score isn't a true reflection of the game, obviously. van is playing well defensively but we're also not helping ourselves. they aren't giving us space and we're not doing a good job of putting pucks where our guys have a chance so we're just seeing the occasional flurry.

 

[Panthers Propaganda]

Death, taxes, and our biannual spanking by Lankinen

 

[Felidae]

That was a Panthers games of all time.

 

[barkovcanfinnish]

Need to wash my eyeballs with bleach. that was 2000’s era panthers

 

[FloridaMan]

2023-24 Season 30 games in record: 18-10-2
2024-25 Season 30 games in record: 18-10-2

Repeat confirmed!

 

[Felidae]

Damn, where the hell was everybody tonight?

 

[Idiot Stick]

Makes you wonder how bad bjornfot was that he didnt get much game time before getting waived

 

[Jean Luc Discard]

Damn, where the hell was everybody tonight?

I'm not watching this garbage defense until Zito makes a trade to address this issue. They aren't going nowhere with two crippled dmen (Schmidt and Ekky) and Kulikov playing top4 duties.

 

[austropanther]

I don't get the criticism of our D corps on the defensive side of the game - especially Schmidt. 2 goals came of odd-man rushes where the Dmen always are in a bad spot in such a situation due to the missing backchecking forwards. Another one of a crazy bounce where Bob completely lost orientation, and a PPG that can always happen.

VAN took the playback from Seattle and just played very solid defensively. Our forwards were pretty weak in this game, especially the Lundell line.

Where we are definitely weaker than before is the offensive side of our D. But throwing them all under the bus after a game where our forwards did not manage to score? Come on.

 

[batting1k]

Damn nice move with the title OP

 

[FinlandPanther]

Damn, where the hell was everybody tonight?

I went to bed. Vancouver + Lankinen was an automatic L. Good to see the team went to bed too since they didn’t show up.

 

[ShootIt]

Feels like most games in Vancouver is a L. Maybe I'm wrong since I never finish the 10pm games.

 

[5 Hole]

Went to bed after the 1st. Glad I did.

 

[Mogo]

Why do I feel like we always play like shit in Vancouver. Like we dont show up at all

When is Vancouver raising there banner?

Only a 3 page GDT. This must be what the Vegas board is like, times 3
