Matt Ross: Knight’s Night?

I guess they're going to throw Spencer Knight right into the fire of a playoff race.

I expect a physical game tonight. Last night was clearly going past chippy and it will likely carry over. I don't expect that Knight will be able to avoid contact either; there was a lot of contact in the blue paint last night.

I thought Bennett and Vatrano has really good games. Along with Duclair, their speed was impressive. Bennett and Montour look like wins for Zito.

Play hard, let's make Columbus happy to return to the Metro Division.

Go Panthers!

Heck yea! It wasn’t how I guessed it, but Bennett got on the board with the second (not first goal like I predicted).

Expecting a good game tonight...

Be watchin on my phone. Wifes birthday so i am attempting to be nice and let her have the TV. Im not happy about it but i mentioned the game was on and got the glare so better safe than sorry

Hopefully spence gets a nice easy start. Ha i still remember watching marc andre fleury first ever start the callers no more than said he just needs a nice easy start when the opponent came in on a breakaway and went bar down. Haha dangit first shot ever goes in

Jesus... easy Benny if we are going to resign you you better slow down or you will blow our cap

Nice of the boys to get the kid some run support

Good win but let’s not forget who we beat. Next 2 games will tell

hold your horses, Sam's notorious for disappearing and losing interest... I don't know if I'm happy for him after not trying on purpose in Calgary - but I'm not surprised he's getting a boost from a change of scenery and playing with quality wingers. All the Calgary guys are comparing him to James Neal going on a short lived run, we'll see where he's at after playing the remaining games in the regular season. For me this only proves my theory was correct - that he wasn't trying on purpose in Calgary - that's what makes his recent play interesting, I don't buy the spin that Sam's a "playoff guy" - he's effective when he puts his body on the line and that takes a toll on you after a while - look at Ferland. Heck Sean Monahan just wants to score goals, be a pretty boy, and get tattoos - he'll never go into the dirty areas of the game - but that's what makes watching Panthers games so interesting, you guys have a very fast, dynamic, exciting style of play - the Flames look stiffled and make too many mistakes, a lot of plays seem forced vs. the natural flow of the Panthers

Weager back tonight?

Weegar is back in. Bob starting in goal, Knight backing up. Driedger now listed as day-to-day. Big game tonight, interested to see how the Panthers respond tonight.

Well that was maybe the worst powerplay ever at least they didnt get scored on

Omg keep yandle and tippett off powerplays!!!!! They are lousy giveaway machines

This is unreal 3 pps already and each one worse than the last

1 complete period 3 powerplays and only 6 total shots.... ridiculous

Why oh why cant we play against carolina they dont seem anything special but they must be. Even with the new guys its the same old garbage

Add that piece of poo gusev to the list of non-powerplayers. He sucks

Tippett needs to go hes not the real deal another 1st round bust

Boys look like they are skating in mud

1 for 8 with a shorty against is not nearly ood enough. Pp coach gone! I know i demand a lot lol

Make that 1 for 9 and 2 shorties against. That is sickening. 6 on 4 and you cant get in the off zone??? Sickening

All this work this season and well be out 4 straight. Im gonna puke

3 pps already and each one worse than the last

Funny, I actually said those exact words to my son as we were watching their third PP waste away.

Watching only their PP recently you’d think their W-L record would be reversed.

Yes on their 5th pp the graphic popped up 0 for 4 with 1 shot. Thats unbelievably bad

If I said I'd seen worse, I'd be lying.
