I too was puzzled by quennevilles comments or lack-there-of... no mention of oh hey my bad. Now obviously i dont know if it was completely up to him but from my front row seat at home it was a terrible frank up

Time to put it behind them. I don't think we'll see any more non-desperation, borderline challenges ever again.

Shame to waste Huby's efforts.

But this was a total team failure, from Q on down.

Sh-t happens; how you deal with it is what's critical.

Learn; move on; come out tonight with guns blazing.

Go Panthers!

I agree with you, Jimbo. Have to put it behind them. The best way to do that is have a big, convincing response.

Can they do it?

I had a real bad feeling thanks to Ek the other day posting about how duchene was yet to score. Florida unfortunately has always been a slump buster for other players

Looked a little like the Panthers of last year, getting sustained pressure and chances in a row with no luck, then start to press and give up odd man rush goal.
Barkov’s line creates scoring chances almost every shift.
Still wondering what the hell Q was thinking..

Q sure didn’t give #20 much of a shot, sent his ass down already. Send Wennberg with him

And duclair. I thought he was a shooter he just came down the wing with chance or a shot and stopped and waited for a pass. I just dont see what you all see

I really think ekblads defense is coming along nicely. Much improved.

How to work boys. Woulda been better for my heart if we could get some damn iinsurance goals. Anyone else cringe when yandle is doing his slow skate out of the zone and gets ready to pass??? Almost immediately it goes on the stick of the opposition

Hard to call a 2-1 win a dominating performance, but I think it was!

Taking 3 out of 4 points and after that disaster last night, priceless.

Go Panthers!

Still alarming that only 9 of 24 cats playing a game this year have netted goal and 1 of them was just sent to the minors

Without Rinne that probably was a three or four goal FL lead after two.
Barkov’s line looks almost unstoppable at times. Barkov is must see tv. I thought Verhaeghe would turn some heads this season, but I didn’t think he’d grab a spot on line 1 from the jump at training camp and proceed to light it up with Barkov and Duclair. 🙃 Duclair can’t buy a goal right now, but he’s probably got a hatty coming soon, lol.
