OT: Out of town scoreboard

[WaitingForThatCab]

Imagine one of those 5 was Cale Makar?

It's pretty much 100% confirmed that Cale Makar isn't one of the five, as he wasn't even there on the night in question.

 

[Mogo]

Michael McLeod and Cal Foote join the gang

 

[Gentle Man]

Formenton, Dube, Hart, McLeod, Foote

 

[Chessarmy]

Really, really glad no Panthers are implicated in this situation.

 

[Dread Clawz]

Devils and Flyers both miss the playoffs.

 

[Idiot Stick]

Devils and Flyers both miss the playoffs.

You hate to see it

 

[Dread Clawz]

You hate to see it

They both could have presented a problem in their own ways so I don't mind. I'd much rather someone like Washington or Isles make it.

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

I think the ideal shakeout would be if Florida finishes 2nd and Detroit 3rd and Toronto WC2, Detroit is a good matchup for Florida and I think the Leafs/Bruins series would be long.

 

[TheImpatientPanther]

Anyone have WPG vs TOR scoreless after 40 mins on their bingo card tonight?

 

[TheImpatientPanther]

TOR has had 4 PP chances and none for WPG in this game, TOR went 0 for 4 and shots are tied at 23, still scoreless...

 

[Idiot Stick]

Boston losing so far to the canes

Canes are playing well of late outside loss to MIN other night.
I'd think they go after Saros no?
That's the missing piece?

 

[TheImpatientPanther]

CAR do us a favor and beat BOS in regulation.

 

[WaitingForThatCab]

Canes honestly looked broken 2 months ago. Look good now. Not great for us, that's a tough team.

Yeah, thank goodness they didn't get swept last year in the conference finals.

If LA loses this, the coach should be fired tonight

The people that say the West is now better than the East are so wrong. The East is still tops. And now the Wings and Flyers have joined the party. Even the Leafs can easily make a run if a couple of their core guys go on a heater.

Todd McLellan is kind of an unimpressive coach, but more importantly, he's just gross to look at. Without fail, any time they get the camera on this guy, he's licking the outside of his cheek or just doing something else that you really shouldn't be doing in a public setting.

From my point of view, the West remains the best as long as they hold the Cup.

Fair enough, but the East is still better top to bottom.

 

[Gentle Man]

As a Panther fan, my natural instinct is to be skeptical.

But I'm excited to see the playoff level THIS lineup can hit cause its better than last year's team. Much, much better honestly.

I think a lot of teams in the east will be loading up to combat our combination of skill and nasty so thats one thing to keep an eye out on

Assuming we send down Mackie at some point because he's not ready to be a full-timer on a contender , and get Kane, our pp alone would be much improved from last year. That first unit is looking really good right now, then on 2nd you got OEL, Ek/Forsling, Kane, Benny, and Lundell .

If Mackie IS ready, then that's great too.

And our pk is much improved from last year already.

It's gonna be a fun spring, hopefully. However anything can happen in the playoffs. Zito has done all he can do, all you can ask for.

Detroit isn't exactly out of it

Tarasenko or Roslovic are fine 2nd options for me.

Big time collapse on a night they honored Kopitar.

 

[zeroG]

Yeah, thank goodness they didn't get swept last year in the conference finals.

rob brindamour agrees.
