Post-Game Talk: Panthers beat Pens by a skate edge, 4-3 in a shootout

[Felidae]

Bryan Rust making the Panthers look like a Peewee Hockey team..

Those were 2 highlight goals though not gonna lie.

 

[Gizmo Tkachuk]

They’re not even trying as hard. I get pacing yourself, but don’t give up a potential advantage in home ice.

 

[WaitingForThatCab]

Balinskis has actually regressed

 

[iam76]

Goldy we didn't have anything .. rhino shot on a turnover from the board.. we really need to wake up.. we are getting caved...

Too many passengers

 

[Gentle Man]

Balinskis needs to be moved back to Latvia if they will have him

I mean they’re not even guaranteed a playoff spot. If they play this bad they might not even win another game

 

[KW]

The truth is we’re playing worse than the Sharks right now.

 

[BabyBennettov]

Shots are 16-4 for Pens after one...

I guess we're looking like turds again ?

Oh yeah. Go look at the second goal they scored. Balinskis MASTERCLASS

 

[ShootIt]

There's taking it easy for the playoffs and there's playing checked out.

This feels like the latter more nights than not lately.

 

[Gentle Man]

Maurice needs to do a bottom pair of Uvis and Tobias and play them 5 minutes

I mean get your points though now so it doesn’t matter. 87 points doesn’t get you in…

I miss my Jokinen-button... Where the f*** did that one go ??????

Don't get me started on Ballsack... I couldn't take it anymore after two games this year... Guess how depressed I am at game #70 !!!!!

Is there a mercy rule?

 

[LexAsh]

Forsling Ekblad
Mikkola Jones
Kulikov Bjornfot

That would be my blueline for the playoffs. Schmidt and Balinskis arent playoff capable.

Balinskis isn’t regular season capable

 

[barkovcanfinnish]

We could probably survive okay with one of Balinskis or Bjornfot in, but both of them is not a good recipe.

But good lord we look like total ass

I mean they’re clearly not playing hard at all but they need to win some games for god sakes

 

[LexAsh]

This team has done a 180 since Ekblad's suspension. Was it ever reported what he rested positive for? Such a moronic betrayal is worthy of an extreme lowball offer. Strip his A. Trade his rights.

Most teams cant survive being without 2 top9 forwards and 2 of their defensemen. I give everyone a pass right now because theyve got significant mileage from the past 3 seasons, plus a midseason tournament, and now theyre expected to push for the division title while short 4 important pieces.

Just be fully healthy by Game 1. That's all that is important.

 

[Gentle Man]

The amount of heat Balinskis is getting on twitter is nowhere near the amount he deserves for the amount of ass he exudes out there shift over shift

 

[iam76]

When's the last time Rodriguez lundell loustar had two goals in a game together

 

[batting1k]

Need Mitchell back asap

 

[Gentle Man]

Ok send Verhaeghe with Balinskis

 

[batting1k]

Verhaeghe lmao

Times likes this make me laugh at the crowd that isn't interested in overpaying Bennett. Lundell had a great 2025 playoffs, but he still hasnt shown the consistency to take over 2C.
