Post-Game Talk: Panthers beat Islanders 6-3

[KW]

I have never, in my life, seen a group of sports fans as completely mindbroken as Boston Bruins fans are right now.

I used to think that about bruins fans but then we played edmonton

To be fair everyone we have beaten recently hates us

Edmonton fans are just always like that, though. When I saw that they were gonna be the finals matchup, that's why I warned everybody. The mains are completely unreadable when Edmonton is winning games.

Panthers come to town and smack their team down, rustles their jimmies while watching it happen.

I don't think Tampa hates us more than they used to, maybe in person at the arena is a different story though.

I’d argue that Rangers are fine: solid fan base and reasonable levels of complaining. Caps were pre Tkachuk.

I’d argue conditional fanbase, the canes were great too

Some of the takes around here lately… My gosh…

Buying out Knighter, trading for Ristolainen, releasing Adam and all.

Didn’t you all chilled this summer and pointed your fuuucking finger to the fuuuucking sky Tkachuk’s style every day, every minute ?!

Geez Louise, breathe through your noses and not your buttholes for fuuuck’s sake !

Seriously… Never too high, never too low ! GEEZ !!

Those terrible takes on Ristolainen… I’ve been fuuucking annoyed all those years hearing people complain about Gudbranson, now Ekblad, and for the last two weeks I keep reading people who wants to take a flyer on a guy who makes Eky and Gudy look like Erik Karlsson ? What’s the matter with you people ? Blind ? Insane ? Desperate ? Stupid ?

I knew those first few pages would get me angry, okay now back to reading, wish me luck I’m only at page 3 and already want to murder someone.

I will not stand by and let you tarnish our true captains name

I think Tampa respects us a little more now. Panthers were a never was until this year. They sure don’t cry like the other fan bases. And I must be the only one, but Ranger’s fans are huge f***ing whiners.

You’re probably right … TBH though I hadn’t paid attention to it much before the finals … after Bruins and Toronno, I thought I’d seen it all, but then … Edmonton

I was aware of the toxicity of that dump before the series started because of how obnoxious their fans behaved during that Hall-Yakupov-RNH-Eberle days. So high 'n mighty, bound to win several Cups, elite players in every position, etc etc even when they couldn't make it to the playoffs.

You not the only one re: Rags. Bunch of whining p***yes only bested by Brus, Toronnos and of course Slicks.

It will be epic when they manage to come out of the McDrai era without a single SC win.

I’m a straight male. I believe they should both keep their shirts on

2 shirts for Aaron

Gus is exempt

Speaking of ex-captains. When is Willie Mitchell returning from day-to-day?

 

[Dread Clawz]

Don't tell me that you want to break up best offensive line in the NHL right now

View attachment 922364

Reino scored 57 goals on Barkov 's wing last season. Either way, you are breaking up a great offensive line. We gotta find a rw for both Barky's and Lundy's line.

That third-pairing still growing good and steady.

They have been pretty consistent all year, getting better with each game, yet all we hear is how bad Adam is.

Nate and Adam are looking pretty good on that pair, a great THIRD-pair, let’s not forget that…

Looks like they can play our systems, and looking forward to see how they will evolve through the year.

Still not a fan of that Mikkola-Kulikov pairing, even though they got results lately after looking shaky and overwhelmed the first few games !

Greer has come down to earth a little bit, but still brings that energy…

Jesper is an amazing PKer and looks to have pretty good untapped upside !

Still not sold on Mackie’s release, and not buying the « crazy speed », but he is shifty and always had offensive potential, let’s see if he can improve enough to stick around…

If Nosek can come in and be a left-handed Stenlund, our PK will look marvelous.

Like a lot of posters around here, the only BIG question this year is if Balinskis or Boqvist are able to grab a top-4 spot long-term ?


In the short-term, that team still looks like dynamite and as good as the one we had last October/November !

LFG CATS GOOOOOO !!

I will say, that save ABo had on the goal line with net open was impressive.
