Post-Game Talk: President Kulikov negotiates part of florida to new jersey in historic deal

I just thread banned them all.

What a f***ing hero.

They are humans. You can’t asked them to play like it’s a game 7 playoffs game every night.

They’ve learned how to win and they how how hard it is to make long runs in the playoffs.

Last playoffs, they were way more less physical than the year before. Why? Because they’ve learned that playing physical like they did in 2023 wasn’t sustainable to win a cup.

What you call lack of motivation, I call it energy management. If they can make the playoffs while playing at 80% of their capacity, they sure will. Not all teams have this luxury, but they do.

exactly. Everyone panicked in March and this team came out flying in the playoffs. I have 0 worry at all. It’s more just annoying to lose to the Devils because their fans are all booger eating morons.

Their best games have been against actual rivals like Boston, NYR and Tampa. Or against Dallas where they had extra motivation for obvious reasons.

I think it just shows that they are able to turn the switch on when needed. Only very teams can do that, and the Panthers are one of them IMO. Reminds me Tampa or Pittsburgh in their great years. No matter what, you knew these teams would be ready when it really counts.

Yup, that's what it is. Like others have said, they know what a hard road it's gonna be to climb to the top of the hill again. They're just conserving energy periodically, because they have to. Teams like the Devils are different. They can go all out all season. I think Maurice understands this and is on board with this. But he's not gonna say it to the media. Iirc Cooper did the same denial thing when Tampa was in the middle of it's long runs.

Ugh 2 losses in a row. Wish we could play the Bruins so we could get a win
