Matt Ross: Florida vs Washington: Rd 1, Gm 5

OK, we've had four games of practice, now let the real Panthers show up and play. It's time to assert themselves and shake the stage fright.

Go Panthers!

So nothing for Oshie then i guess eh? Ok vigilante mission it is then. Nhl does this to themselves. Despite the fact that rats thought it was clean the angles i kept watching was shoulder with a little elbow follow through right to the noggin. I am very shocked i didnt hear a peep about it after that night. Suspension for sure i said... its been a while but i thought it was far worse than what benny lost a game for last playoffs. Guess its who you are...

Take off the homer glasses, friend. This hit was par for the series. No suspension on the hit to Carlson late in G1, so no suspension here seems fine to me

The thing in Oshie’s defense is how Bennett turned right into it after he lost the puck.
Oshie could’ve let up, I guess, maybe he should’ve seen Bennett lose the puck and start to go for puck instead of the hit? Idk. It happened fast.

Time for FL to take control of this series. Getting some results on the PP would go a long way towards making that happen.

Well done!

What i do know is that both broadcasts immediately called it a high hit on bennett.

Wonder if he still nursing an injury. Or if Bruno is worried about him taking penalties.

I’d like to see Mamin get a chance, though.

It was a high hit, no one is debating that.
Bennett turning into it was the reason no action was taken, imo.

Get some god damn points. Carter has almost double barkov and huberdeau combined. Which is disgusting get your acts together boys. Light em up. Well not double but you know what i mean F!

Time for the big guys to step up. Need Barky, Huby, etc. to have a big game.

Looks like my guy Mamin is in for Marchy?

Excited to see what Maxy can do given this big opportunity.

Oh yep nobody touch ovechkin...

(frank) sakes guys. Theres rats boy oshie there. Wish that boy got suspended...

God damnit guys get it together. Need at least 2 goals now and we barely have 2 shots

Booooooooo im joining the crowd. Just awful

Mamin looking like the best Cat on the ice. Has the fire/intensity and making the right plays.

Its almost a game now.... just how many powerplays can we go without a goal??

Lmao, “rats boy”?

Dangit what is up with hubes and barky? They are stumble bums and easy to knock off the puck

(frank) no quick whistle there

Wtf they were all over them and then just fall apart. Unacceptable
