Hey Shynes - Nutty is on the opening night roster and per Jameson Olive, was paired with Montour.

Pens had a strong win. We’ll see how things go tonight. It should be a good one

I guess we shall soon see. Capfriendly shows nutivaara on the ir with acciari

What are the expected opening night line combinations?
Is Reinhart up top with Barkov?
Is Lundell 2C with Heber on left?

Pretty good looking roster. A little weak on defense though. Maybe the Panthers surprise people this season. I thought Grigori Denisenko would be on the roster this season, how'd he look in preseason?

Go Panthers!
This is the year.

Former Panther Monty will start for the Habs tonight against the Sabres. We hope he finds success backing up Allen....... With Price out, claiming him was strictly a depth move.......

Good call on the Nutty injury, Shy. Saw it official a few hours ago.

Crowd’s hot when the puck gets on Lundell’s stick.

Look good so far.

I still havent seen weegs rough penalty. Im sure thats why he lipped but thats selfish and cost a goal. That ref is a softy though i hear guys swear at the refs all the timeand rarely do they give the extra call.

Idiots what a terrible period. Better smarten up for the 3rd

Why is our studly powerplay so god damn terrible? Dont we only have 2 pp shots on 4 pps???

Shot the selves in the foot with all those penalties.

Fire zito!

Rehire zito

It wasn't the swearing, it was the slamming of the penalty box door while the ref was announcing the penalty.

Oh man. What a finish.

Thank god. That would have been an embarrassing loss tonight. Gotta clean up that disasterous lack of discipline

Oh man. What a finish.

I’ll never understand why the ref 150ft away thinks he saw something clearer than the ref standing 5ft from the play did, and puts his arm up to make a call. The one ref made horsepoop calls against both teams tonight.

Bob was fukking outstanding tonight. Looked calm and poised, not scrambly and frantic. The one sniped over his shoulder maybe he went down a little early, but that was a helluva shot. 2 others went in off of defensemen and the fourth in on a crazy crease scramble where he made a couple of saves before puck finally was smacked in.
Stopped the Pens on a breakaway right before Barkov and Verhaeghe went down and ended it. Bob could easily have been a star of the game, (should’ve been the 3rd star behind Verhaeghe and Ekblad).
Go Panthers!!!
Wooooooooooo

Why do the commentators have to go over important facts about the opposing team? As soon as they said about carter being goal 399, i knew he was getting 400 and it wasnt even a good goal....aaron!
