Zak MacMillan: CBJ— Another Day, Another Disappointment

It’s only one game. Panthers are just on some kind of other worldly freak run right now. All four lines are rolling, and they’re roasting everyone. Both goalies actually made some really great saves, and Korpisalo kept battling til the final horn. Panthers could’ve had 15. Even saw Hornqvist skate past and give him a tap on his pads near the end of game.

Rats,

That's a great hockey team you follow, and it is a little sad to see a lot of former CBJ players/mgt. there. C'est la vie.

However, this is how the season is supposed to go, there is no sense to be upset. Young team, overmatched every night, with D and G that is marginal to adequate at best except for two or three high-quality guys, and an offense that can run great or stall out depending on what phase the moon is in or for some other reason.

I hate to see how bad it is, but what can one do at this point? At least they are not intentionally tanking, maybe they can fall to 29th even after the good start. And if the Hawks blow up too we can get two top picks.
