75 attempted shots. 3/3 power play. Lose in a shootout. It's a major issue that this team loses even if they "play well".
I assume you are talking about the PP where ekblad had a chance for a one-timer with an open net and instead tried to feed it in front?
Yes. Or Bjugstad on the 1On1 a game or two ago. Or the 100 other times I've seen it. Yandle it's his MO Including tonight that lead to the jokinen penalty. Just cross ice passes to no where.
looks like barkov learned how to go to the forehand in the shootout. Also, after having like 10 points through the first 25 games, hes now at 25 in 33.
Even if we wasnt held I don't think he comes back in time to make that play once he followed.up with that check. But whatever. Boston has hit like 3 Posts and missed a neat empty net..shots are similar but ours are D grade and theirs are A+.
"Take finesse wrist shots high glove side on rask" -a very bad panthers scouting report...apparently.
just one more thing to add to the list of everything that can go wrong, is going wrong. Panthers lead the league in goals overturned by review this season with 5
to be fair...i know i agreed with most of them except for the Yandle goal. i disagree with the rule as Ive said in the NHL thread (i think the skate should be allowed above the blue line) but by the rule theyve been legit overturns.
I wasn't saying they were bad calls (with the exception of last game). more just saying how bad the panthers luck has been in pretty much every facet of the game this year
I got to say I had some very nice seats. 114 row 18 yesterday. First row on the upper level of the lower level so no one in front of me. But those fucking seats are fucking tiny
yea for whatever reason they built that place to be enormous and squeeze as many seats in as possible. They need to do what the Dolphins just did and renovate that place to have less seats but more comfort.
Just the definition of a mediocre .500 team. The team is still glaringly missing a reliable goal scorer. Even with Barkov and Huberdeau it's still an issue to just have someone who is accurate and will have a healthy goal total. But hey we got a bunch of guys who can take volume shots!!!
this is the most frustrated I have ever been as a sports fan. Everything about this team is so broken. The fact that they are just 4 points out of the playoffs makes it even worse
Your franchise is a joke, they had something good. How the fuck do you turn around and give all the power to a mediocre gm/coach that is fully on a power trip? Jesus fucking Christ, everything was pointing up....now this clown is running the show. Just incredible that a NHL franchise is managed like that. Rowe looks like a complete retard
Sure, I get that but it's dysfunctional from the top. He panicked and fired gallant. Rowe is nothing...why/when did he get the power to overrule the guys that had the panthers looking so good last year?
Rowe didn't make the decision. ownership did. Gallant was almost fired last year then the team went on a 12 game win streak that happened to coincide with a upper management meeting where gallant was told to make certain strategy and lineup changes. Then when things weren't going well this year, they had another come to jesus meeting with Gallant. This time he refused the changes and was fired a few games later after they blew another lead against a shitty team. I liked gallant a lot, thought he was a good guy and a good coach, but the relationship with management was always fractured so I get why the decision was made.
maybe management is the issue, How on earth would anybody think that putting a goddam semi pro coach in charge of every hockey operation for an NHL franchise is a good idea? Rowe must be married to an owner
