You’ll be stressing at your desk!

You said it Matt!

I thought the most significant thing about game 3 was that the Panthers finally looked like they loosened up a bit and started playing their game. Up to then, they seemed too tense and too afraid of making mistakes (thus making mistakes). Game 3 was the first sign of a team having fun and the Panthers win (usually big) when they have fun. Let's hope it carries forward.

I've been impressed with Bob. I don't think you could ask a goalie to do more than he has done in this series.

Now, it's time to add some Q-magic-dust to pull this series out.

Go Panthers!

You guys are full on wanting to win? A large part of me wants you guys to win the next two to have a shot at first overall

Just like he'd be stressing in front of his tv, lol. Panthers better start playing better, they're lucky to be down only one after the first.

Not looking good, boys...letting NY come right in.

Props to Bob. Aside from the first one (which he’s want back), he’s been stellar.

What a play by the Islanders defenseman to save that open-better...unreal.

Not looking good, at all.
20 minutes left to save their season. Gonna have to bring a lot more than they have so far. They are just getting snuffed out all around.

Isles pk pressures the hell out of them, FL's pk stands around watching them pass it around.

Agreed.

And...why do the top lines/top guys disappear in the big games? It’s maddening.

Every loose puck, Isles there first. There first with support, every time it was two Isles vs one Panther.... Every (frank)ing time

And the Tallon era is over...

That's been the rumor for awhile, that a post season flame out would result in him being gone. He certainly has done some questionable things, along with the good moves he has made.
The buck stops with him for the players on the roster he assembled being inconsistent, and for their melting away whenever the games get bigger.

I cant believe the dollar signs in the press box for games 3 and 4 thats nuts. Could be worse though... could of had a 3 to 0 lead with 4 minutes left and blown it...

Wow... this site is still alive?
