Post-Game Talk: Panthers get utterly blown out 2-1 by Kings

[iam76]

has coach left sammy on the bench a ton this period after he looked like our best player?

 

[Gentle Man]

Meh, is it just me or is there no urgency from our guys?

Fixed it for you

 

[IceManCat]

Tkachuk is beyond useless right now.

His skating is atrocious, cannot keep up with the play, relies on teammates to get him the puck. Its like he's skating with a gorilla on his back

swaggys not far behind with his skating.

 

[Gentle Man]

After 1000-0-1 record was reached when leading after 2, we’ve lost 2 in a month

 

[Ghoste]

Nice win Kings. They scouted for Bob and still won… impressive

 

[iam76]

nice to see us try with 2 mins left...

 

[WaitingForThatCab]

Slumpbusters.

If Tkachuk isn't healthy, put him in the press box. He's awful.

 

[IceManCat]

Another Thachuk question mark, hes skating right into the slot why pass it backwards to the trailing player? You have 15 seconds left take the shot!

 

[Chino Oscar]

That 3rd period was atrocious

 

[Marco 85]

Zito gets us some defensive help please.

 

[iam76]

we need another dman.. Bjorn foot is not even as good as Carllson

That 3rd period was atrocious

worst one they played in a few years.. hats off to kings who are a solid team this year...

 

[batting1k]

0-1 when leading after 2 and I don’t go to bed and OP is one character long

 

[BabyBennettov]

Balinskis being a headless chicken, Chucky soft, stupid and casual doing nothing since the sternum, and Panthers leaving Knight defenseless in the third…

Hummmm…

Too bad, it looked like a good gritty game before that third.

 

[Gentle Man]

That barkov line got caved tonight

 

[IceManCat]

Would rather have Adam Boqvist in there instead of Bjornfoot

 

[barkovcanfinnish]

Sucks to lose that one. Knight played great.

We do need defensive help. Ekblad coming back will be huge but we need more.

But probably even more important, what the hell was that third period? Played a great second period and then got absolutely smacked. I know it’s the end of a back to back but ugh we’ve seen this scene way too much this year.

 

[Gentle Man]

Tkachuk for Hubey and Weegar imo

 

[batting1k]

Ekblad coming back will be huge

Literally

 

[letsgrowcactus]

I wasted an hour of baby-sleeping time to watch the f-ing third period.

I could have slept. I could have read a book. I could have done some Duolingo or taken a shower and even washed my hair once in forever. Instead, I watched this.

I hate you Panthers.

 

[barkovcanfinnish]

Watch these dorks lose to SJ and then win 6-1 over Vegas

 

[wampa13jku]

The L in LA was expected, we kinda always suck balls over there. I’m just disgusted by how this team looks lately, atrocious D and the effort is just not there, shame on me for tuning in late for this shit after saying i wasn’t going to.

Have been disconnected from watching on TV since that shitshow against the Flyers a few games ago and it looks like I'm gonna take another week off.

Feels like we might never get 2022-23 level Tkachuk again. It's weird cause if you look at his 2 seasons after that one, his shooting%, possession stats and hits are largely the same (apparently hes recorded more hits since that season, which seems hard to believe based on what ive seen). He's also played with mostly the same linemates. Bennetts production hasn't changed much at all. So it's not like 2022-23 seemed to be a statistical outlier, especially given the fact he had a 100 point before that.

But he just doesn't look the same since that season and I don't think I could pinpoint something specific. But everything from his physicality to offense is just not as noticeable, and statistically, it only shows in his raw point totals.
