Panthers are rolling. They are a very tough team to play against. They seem to have the ability to turn it up a notch when needed so they're never out of a game.

For the first time in my memory, physical play favors the Panthers. With Q and his experience behind the bench, they seem to be making all the right adjustments.

This season is a bunch of mini-series and adjustments within and across games are important. The Panthers haven't lost twice in a row yet, so Q's adjustments are working.

This portends well for the playoffs and this season's schedule is good practice for when 7-game playoff series begin.

The Panthers are the real deal and I like their chances.

Go Panthers!

As a fun time killer today at work i searched my home address against every arena in the league. I suck i chose the 22nd closest team to cheer for. That was not well thought out hahaaha. Those bums in toronto are by far my closest arena at 123 km. Cats arena is just slightly longer at 2478 km hahaha. San jose is the furthest at 4456 km. Kind of a neat exercise if anyone else is as bored as me

I thought they ended up losing consecutive games an one point last month..? Maybe not.

These guys are looking good!

They're all the same distance away when you're watching on TV/Internet.

True enough. I am super jealous the prices at BBT. I have to go to Toronto and pay probably 150 per seat and that was only a few rows from the top. Its been awhile since ive been i used to have a coworker with season ticks in toronto i would buy his panthers games

They haven’t lost two consecutive in regulation time. They did lose two in a row once, but lost the second in OT or shootout.

Horny with a Hubie-like dish to set up Hubie’s goal

Duclair blows! Breakaway for days and cant beat the goalie. Can he even elevate the puck?

obviously i dont see the whole interview but i notice bob said nothing noticeable about his dumb ass decision to split his own d for a puck behind the net.... that will wind up on steve's dang-its next week. He always puts them on when the goaltenders dont tend the goal
