Post-Game Talk: Panthers choke away 2-0 lead, lose 4-2 to NYI

Skate them until they each puke.

Jones sucked big time in the last 2 games.

Ball sack sucks.

Kuli didn’t belong on the 2d pairing. Now he’s out for probably a significant amount of time.

Do we have anyone, 2 guys, in the A that can replace Ballsack and Kuli.
 
Well, I guess that I don’t have to worry about traveling to Greece and Madrid in May, because they won’t be playing in May.

What's the return policy on Jones?
 
sucks to have to go through it but, like every year, they’ll have to work through things throughout the season. You go on highs, which we just were. You go on lows, which certainly seems to be the case at the moment. With guys injured, many are playing higher in the lineup and logging more minutes than they normally would. Even if they’re not meant for those roles, it’ll still serve them well to get more used to it so when they go into lesser roles with reduced playing time it’ll just make them that much better.

It’s frustrating because I still want to win the division, but I also know that the playoffs and how they play then is ultimately what matters. It’s out of our control, just need to let the season play out and I’ve said it before just let the chips fall where they may and take it from there. I just hope the guys who are out and injured can jump back in well and not have problems. Will Ekblad look rough for a game or two upon his return? Will chucky play through something he obviously isn’t fully healed from and we’ll be able to tell? What happened to kuli? Will Marchand hold up? Who knows, but I will say this…it’s certainly nice not having to hold out my life’s hopes every consecutive year of my life hoping and praying that someday this team will win a cup. You want to have the best team possible every year and compete every year but it’s certainly a weight off knowing we’ve at least climbed that hill once in my lifetime
