It’s simple, come out and play like game one and you got a shot, play like last game and the golf time

Time for coach Q to step up and make the right adjustments. Bring the team back off of life support.

Matt,
Agree with you on Bob.

I'm disgusted that Yandle is playing at all. I just don't believe he is the best option to be in the game. His speed is shot, his passing and shooting are horrible, his decision making under pressure is as bad as can be, he has no hustle or urgency. At the end of Game 2, at the faceoff right before the empty-netter turnover, it seemed like he was focused on moving the snow around the ice rather than on the play. He reminded me of a 6-year old boy daydreaming rather than focusing on the current situation. The worst part is that Yandle costing us the chance to win not only was predictable, it WAS predicted. If he truly offers our best chance to win, then this whole season was a mirage and we're not as improved as we thought.

At this point, the Panthers have nothing to lose and should be in go-for-it, no-pressure mode.

That's inexcusable. Guy should be put in the press box and housed away from the team while on the road, or told to stay home.

Let me get this right, it’s the biggest game of the year or maybe even in the last 10 years and you don’t start your 10mil dollars so called franchise goalie?

Very interesting move by Q. Although the team seems to play better on D in front of Driedger for some reason. Maybe it’s because he doesn’t kick out as many juicy rebounds, idk.

I don’t get it either. Thought Bob should have been in Game 2 as well. Doesn’t make sense to me.

I expect the Cats' best game tonight and I would be surprised to see Tampa take a 3-0 series lead. I think this is gonna be a Pier-Six brawl. I hope it's stays clean and nobody gets hurt.

Bourbon and cigars at the ready. Here's to a good game.
