    When did we start doing the smoke/fog over the boards for goals? Is that a new playoff thing?

    Can see it on the Purcell goal around the 1:16 mark..

    who knows what to think anymore. every stat you can think of whether regular or advanced says this series should have ended tonight in a sweep yet here we are tied at 2. If Griess continues to play like god and the Isles continue to score on every high quality chance, this can easily end up going the wrong way.

    I'm still super confident we take the series...but if we are fortunate enough to get to the ECF, I just want to see how high the Caps PP % can get. Over 80%?

    It's been amazing watching our PK vs. the Islanders. We have so much youth I really dont get how their PP looks like it's on Olympic ice. So soooooo much room to work against us. Meanwhile our PP our guys are still trying to work out of phone booths. Luckily we have guys who can cycle the puck like crazy but it's still just such a massive, glaring difference.

    Defending a 5 on 3 isnt easy...but im pretty sure having the defenseman on Tavares's side suddenly deciding to go to the top of the triangle to pressure the point man with 2 guys...and thus leaving JT and 3 other guys alone in front of the net with just Gudbranson...isnt a good idea. I have no idea what Campbell was thinking.

    My #spaceyinspace hoodie is 1-0.

    And i jsut cant see this series going without at least one Panthers 3+ goal win. We're just soooo much better of a team. Out of a possible 7 games, i mean we have to have ONE that doesnt get swung by the refs, right? If we get Trocheck back next game and can run 3 lines with 3 great centers, i expect a big performance.

    This series has been baffling. Panthers should have multiple 2+ goal wins by now. I mean everyone but 2 players for the Panthers had a positive corsi last night while everyone but two players for the islanders had a negative corsi and the cats won that game by a cunt hair.

    I know I am mr. blame the refs for everything, but if the panthers could get some of these 5 on 3 opportunities like the islanders keep getting or not have every other goal dissallowed, this series would be over by now

    Just gutted this morning. I can't believe after the way we played we aren't getting the series vs. Tampa. It's just such a missed opportunity for the team, region, and even the NHL to get that rivalry going. The playoff format was designed to get teams like Florida and Tampa playing in the playoffs and it feels stolen away. I was able to deal with the 2012 losses pretty easily - the Panthers were outmatched and lucky to get to game 7 - but this hurts.

    And because, at the end of the day, the team didnt really do anything I dont expect much of a bump in interest/attendance to start next season. I mean, it will be better than the start of this season (probably) but going out in the first round didnt get many people on board. Not to mention the #SpaceyinSpace thing had a chance to be up there with the rat as far as fun team traditions.

    I know this season was fun...but it feels wasted especially with guys like Lu and Jagr. Meanwhile while everyone keeps praising our youth, do we have the goaltending coming up to keep them 'a contender'? Lu is 37.

    They drafted a guy last year in the 3rd who carried his team to the second round of the QMJHL playoffs

    Jagr looked older than ever these past few games.

    I want him back but he definitely had trouble hanging in the playoffs.

    I dont really agree. He looked a step slower but he was still impossible to knock off the puck and created a ton of possessions and attempts. His shot wasnt quick enough (getting it off) but other than that I thought he provided a whole lot of positive with him on the ice.

    If you want to point to a disappointing veteran in these playoffs - its Jiri Hudler. 30G scoer last year, got him specifically for veteran depth and he was basically silent.

    I hear you, not saying he was bad.

    I'm just saying he looked old, gassed, & not super sharp.

    Hudler looked averse to any action this series.

    Pro - It feels very 'hockey' and i think it would look good on a jersey.

    Con - I dont like how i feel like it needs the word "Panthers" to say...put it on a hat. I like how the leaping cat lives can live on its own. Granted there may be a shield-less version with just the cat as an apparel logo and whatnot. We'll see

    But i can definitely work with this if it's the real deal. as FYI it was leaked by Uni Watch as 'probably' the new logo. GR didnt deny it but did say the away jersey would have "Florida" in place of Panthers.

    I mean I don't hate it, but not sure if it's worth changing for. It looks like a MLS logo.

    Montenbeault, it was the second biggest upset in the q history. He also won a game 1-0 in the other series against the team that won it all. Good prospect but still a bit inconsistent. He should be developed in the minors for at least a full season

    Will buy day 1 when available. I also havent bought a Panthers jersey since my authentic Bure one - which was made by Starter.

    definitely. He has plenty of time to develop. He just signed and will be splitting time in the AHL next year. Really excited about him

    got a red and a blue. both signed.

    putting this here because I don't know how trustworthy the source is.

    Was told by a friend who plays in a SoBe pick up game with a bunch of retired russian NHLers that one of the guys in the game is a runner for a russian agent said that the Panthers and Penguins are having preliminary conversations regarding a trade of Malkin for Huberdeau, Petrovic, 2 first round picks.

    He also said, the Panthers were very interested in Radulov, but he is asking for 5 million+ per season and the Panthers aren't willing to give that much of a commitment to a guy who has flopped each time hes come to the NHL. He now says to expect Radulov to sign with the Rangers if they can clear the cap space.

    The only reason I give it any credibility is because this pick up game really does have the who's who of russians who have moved to the US. Guys like Bure, Larionov, Kasperitis, etc have played in this game over the years so if you are playing in it, you are either really good at hockey or have connections to get the invite.

    For someone who doesn't watch hockey is Malkin worth that?

    Yes.

    But you also have to factor in salary cap and his age.

    Malkin is a top 10 player in all of hockey when healthy. Issue is that he hasn't been healthy for a full season in a very long time, is turning 30 in a month, and on a monster contract.

    As for the trade value, Its pretty favorable for the panthers. It would suck to lose Huberdeau, but he will never be as good as Malkin would be for the Panthers even at this point in his career. The rest of the trade is just filler imo.

    I would not do that for malkin, he screams yashin to me....incredible potential but he is on the downside big time.
