Post-Game Talk: Panthers 3 @ Golden Knights 9 - 6/13/23 - That run was a lot of fun!

[Ginger Papa]

I went into the SCF with no expectations, but this was still a depressing end to an otherwise incredible playoff run.

Just stopping by to say that many of you folks from HF Panthers were great contributors to the Main Board GDT’s and it was nice to get to know many of you a bit more.

Amazing run for your Boys coming in as an 8th seed.

Future still looks very bright for your Team.

Enjoy the Summer with your families.

Cheers

Am I the only one here who isn't feeling depressing at all?

I'm about to get buzzed and hopefully fun stuff in bed soon after tbh

I got my feelings out of the way after game 4. Still hurts, but time to move on.

Also don’t care about March/Smith. Good for them

The fact that we even made it this far is a testament to the players and staff. It has been an amazingly fun ride for a team that every single one us knew was very flawed. The moment we signed the Staal's and went bargain hunting for Balcers and White you just knew it would be a slog of a season. We all knew we were playing with house money and was only time it would run out. No reason to be embarrassed outside of tonight's loss. (Hopefully this leaves a lasting taste in their mouths just like Tampa losses did though) We just ran out of luck and gas and Vegas has something we don't, depth and the ability to circumvent the cap. (I kid)

We will reload this offseason with so much cap space finally opening up. We will get healthier as I'm sure the list of guys needed some repairs will be long after this season. Our young guys like Lundy and Mackie, Deni ,Benning will have another offseason to improve on themselves and compete for the limited spots on our squad. I know Mo doesn't favor the kids but its their job to make it so he cant ignore them, the competition is needed.

In the end this run will only make this team better and a has brought in tons of new fans and attention to the team which is most important for the longevity of the sport here. I Think we will be back sooner then later and am high on the future of the franchise.

I'm also happy I got to be at the game and see us clinch the ECF finals with my son and ingrain the same love for the game into him that we all have. I never got see a playoff game in 96'. didn't have cable so had to listen to every game on the radio. To be there in person was a big deal to me. We waited a long time to get here and we got here with the worst team we have iced in 4 years. To think we cant get here again is silly. It's a hard road to get here but this team is only going to get better. Either way enjoy the offseason and see you guy once the draft and FA rolls around. Look forward to another season of watching half you guys teetering on the edge after a loss or a win.

Exactly how I feel too.

Really enjoyed being a part of the GDTs with everyone on this run. It was an insane year when you consider all the ups and downs. Going from squeaking into the playoffs to the Stanley Cup Final, that's something special. I'm happy for our franchise to have experienced this. It's a run we won't forget for a long time.

Tkachuk is a pure winner. What a talent.

Cannot deny the truth. More even refereeing? Maybe goes 6 games. Dallas doesn’t force game 6 and thus there’s a shorter break? Maybe goes 6 games. Tkachuck avoids the hit? Maybe goes 6. Vegas somehow plays Seattle in round 2? Maybe tires them out more and again maybe goes 6 games. All of that happens? Maybe goes 7 games and then you never know.

 

[Prominence Problem]

Well Chucky had a broken sternum

Is this true??

That's a crazy injury!

Could die if hit wrong!

Cookie "only" had a fractured sternum, and it took him 2 years to get back to normal.

If Barkov is the brain/AI of this team Tkachuk is the heart. Guy has more heart than the Grinch after he saved the little kid at the end

Sources tell me Reinhart was playing with a scratch on his left leg. Needed a forklift to get out of bed for game 5.

Sources tell me Collin White doesn’t know how to play hockey. Went to a learn to skate before game 5.

Jokes on you he thought today was game 1. Finally decided to play.

 

[CupInSIX]

Good series, Panthers. Everybody doubted your team, but they never said die and most importantly, you got Dubas fired and screwed the Habs out of gloating about a top 20 pick.

 

[barkovcanfinnish]

Well, the bad news is everything that could sting this franchise in the worst way happened tonight.

The good news is there is nothing that can hurt me anymore.

Barky cursing up a storm

Holy shit
