Matt Ross: Cats and Hawks Last Dance

As mentioned in the comments last blog, if the ironman doesnt factor in playoffs he must sit. I havent looked at all lately but he must be -17 or so it seems like 3 is always on the ice when showing replay of goal against

Well only -11 after checking but he is dead last in the category... so theres that....

Bob back in the net tonight.
Think Gusev is in for Lammikko. Like to see Gusev bring more than he has so far.

I am so sick of Yandle. And the sorry part is he has a NTC so we cant get rid of him without taking a huge hit. Screw the iron man streak. Bench the loser. We have good young talent on the blue line that should be playing instead of this turnover machine.

Frig this brutal schedule too. How the hell do we miss 4 of our first 6 games and still lead the league in games played??? No wonder weve wound up with injuries down the stretch

Man...not feeling the mask. The top design is cool with the Panther, but the sides with pencil sketches of the players, etc., is not doing it for me.

Whoa there Matt! This thread is for poo-pooing yands. I cannot have you worried about a helmet

Pretty decent period. I wish i had any confidence at all for them doing that for 2 more periods

Good blog.thanks.

Hey the puck hit duclair on the delayed offside shouldnt that have been offside or does he have to play it purposely?

Way too close at the end there. Haha.

How does that happen?

Guessing we took foot off the gas thinking it was wrapped up. Kubalik or whoever got the last goal was so incredibly wide open it was nuts

Lollol, I’m guessing Yandle tagged him with it, but Barkov said they’ve started calling Forsling - Bobby Orrsling (or maybe it was Forrsling, not sure if they dropped the F or not). That was a beauty rush to set up Barky for the goal in the final seconds of the 2nd period. It’s the one good thing about the Carolina Jerks being so stout on D, they actually waived this guy. Makes you wonder why no team in front of FL in the waiver claim line grabbed him.

I Du Duclair!
“91 with the big pair!”
Do you like him more now than earlier this season? He’s earning a contract extension here, and expansion draft protection.

Coming around but this is how he should have been playing all season playing 1st line with a stud like barkov

24 years old and was okay in Chicago but nothing more than a depth guy. I dunno, i liked him. Glad he's found a steady role.

Looks like a few guys have fallen out of favor. According to projected lineup theyd rather throw marchent in at center than wallmark, juho, or luostarinen

Bennett day to day, Wennberg up to line 2.
Knight starting.

Geeez lomberg could be decent if he could hit the net couple decent chances tonight

Think he’s up to 5 good chances now, no dice yet.

Weegar way out of position a couple of goals against tonight

Yandle needs to hit the gym he tries to hit/move opponents and they dont even budge. Its sad really

It looks like the Central 2v3 will be TB vs FL, only question is who’s 2. These two finish the season with 2 in Sunrise.
Carolina pretty much has the division in their grasp, it would seem. Nashville w/inside track to fourth. These two finish season with two in Nashville (I think).
Both series should wind up being pretty intense, right from game 1. There will already be things brewing

Too funny. Yandle "hit" the gym. Yandle won't do anything involving hitting.
