OT: Out of town scoreboard

[TheImpatientPanther]

@ucanthanzalthetruth tell me you saw the PIT own goal against that gave ARI a 4-2 lead in 3rd?
It's now 5-2 Howlers so you got your wish, we beat NSH and ARI wins

 

[WaitingForThatCab]

TB has won 5 in a row and are 5pts behind us now

This is what happens when you drop 4 straight to bad teams.

Crouse got credit for the goal, seems appropriate a former Panther is somehow involved in a play like that. What a lazy play by Malkin.

Obviously you can't speculate but you don't typically reach out to a lawyer for a mental health break...Hart was on 2018 Team Canada...

Looks like Hill is back for vegas, good thing we got to face them without him.

I think they're both at fault there, tbh. Malkin probably wasn't expecting that pass, which looked sloppy to me.

DET lose in regulation

TB win, 1 pt ahead of TOR but 3 more GP.
WPG beating TOR in their home and home series will make things really interesting for the 3rd spot.

Weegar got his 11th goal, 28th pt
Huberdeau has 6 goals and 25 pts....and he has a goal and 8 pts in his last 8 GP.
Gonna be a lonnnngggg ~8 years in Calgary for him

Who’s gonna stop the Oilers’ streak?

I bet the ASG will.

Huberdeau's already doomed, even if he turns it around and starts playing well. Every single thing he does is going to be insanely scrutinized, and even 'playing well' is still going to be a disappointment. Mind-boggling pressure.

Meanwhile, on the other end of the trade, Tkachuk couldn't score the first two months of the season and was clearly still feeling the after effects of a serious injury. South Florida media? Asked hard questions like "What kind of sides does he like with his steak?"

Yeah, sometimes you'd like the media to ask the hard question but sometimes the lack of pressure is an advantage. Very happy that they left Tkachuk alone the first few months (the fact that Florida was in a playoff spot or closely in the hunt all that time also probably helped).

It was genuinely funny that it were clearly NOT the Panthers fans and media who were seriously concerned with his slow start. I like how our fanbase was very chill.

 

[Gentle Man]

Tkachuk is lucky he plays for a small market team or else more people would cook him

He was not invisible, he still created a lot of chances wheras Huby seemed to not show up at all

I have basically zero regard for sports 'journalism,' so I'm actually glad we have this kind of hockey media here. It makes SFla a more appealing destination for players who want to get away from that shit. I really don't need journalists to ask guys questions like "Why do you suck so much right now?" when you know they're not going to give an interesting answer anyway.

Even when I got annoyed at how bad the power play was and was hoping that maybe someone would ask about Kompon, the reality is that it's probably for the best that they just kept asking Paul Maurice for belly rubs.

 

[KW]

So I wonder if Barky will go on the weekend trip to Pittsburgh and Long Island, or will they keep Barkov “healing”, who Maurice said was at worst day to day, while they hope not to go 0-2 on that trip?

Maybe they’ll be counting on another Penguins own goal and Patty Roy to go batshit on the refs?

 

[Gizmoskevich]

I’m fully expecting Barkov out until after the break

Imagine one of those 5 was Cale Makar?


Or worse for the Panthers... Gadjovich

 

[ShootIt]

Any reason why they are still anonymous?

Maybe because they were under 18. So they would still qualify as juveniles at the time.

Makes sense. Reading the main forum thread too and the differences between US/Canada procedures.

 

[Ghoste]

Gads is apparently at morning skate so he should be in the clear.

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

Formenton (who was the main guy from the beginning) has left his team. Obviously it appears Hart and Dube will be announced. Not sure why we haven't heard the other 2 names? This is a big day (for the wrong reasons)

I believe because they haven't been formally charged yet.

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

I was so busy today, just catching up on news, expansion to Utah? A 34 team league? Holy hell there are so many bad teams already.
