Is it bad I was expecting a random wind gust to bat his pass down at the LOS?

I'm honestly surprised anybody even listens to that loser (PK). I figured he was completely irrelevant and just living under a rock somewhere, but I guess not. And honestly, it's pretty crazy he would say that when he had to be one of the whiniest defensemen I've seen in the 20ish years I've followed hockey. Then again, he may not have any braincells left because he got destroyed on hits a lot of times in his career.

I'd take Raanta over Freddie. Freddie has shown he can't stay healthy. If we can get Freddie for 1 or 2 years cheap, maybe.

This x100. This is like 4 years in a row some goon has knocked out one of our best players in a series (Boston x2, NYR, FL). How we haven't learned and gotten somebody to return the favor is just mind-boggling to me - this is even worse than not trading for a scorer at the deadline IMO.

I don't think many people are going to watch it period (no matter which of the 4 teams made it). No big name players, no big markets. This is definitely a year I would ask for a refund for any network broadcasters(TNT/ESPN) and advertisers that ponied up money to host or be aired during it because the viewership ratings are going to be really ugly. It sucks to be this close and lose, but it is what it is. If we win the Stanley Cup, awesome and I'll be cheering as loud as possible. If we lose, it just means I've freed up time from having to watch sports and actually do something productive.

Man this team and losing in OT and the last minute of games...

Win this in regulation while we have momentum. Don't let FL regroup

Just not clutch enough... Bummer to lose 4 games by 1 goal (assuming FL doesn't get an empty netter)

We've been saying this for years - we aren't

Well, 1 period left to see if they actually give a crap about winning. Hopefully they do

He's done well with the talent he has. Imagine what he could do with Toronto's roster

Slavin has been great in the playoffs. I think several of our players have shown effort also (Marty, Fast, Mac, Jarvis). The problem is who is a go-to scorer on lines 2-4 outside of Necas (who disappears in the playoffs).

You do realize we have scored all of 3 goals in 3 1/3 games, right... I'm pretty sure I would call a 2 goal lead insurmountable for the product we have out there.

Good enough to make the playoffs, not good enough to beat anybody good. Rinse and repeat...

Just depressing that FL hurts our best player and this team just rolls over and couldn't care less. Honestly I hope FL just hurts the rest of these pussies we have

There is probably a better chance of Florida scoring on Bob than us. Again, when your team is composed of grinders and playmakers (courtesy of Svech and Patches being hurt), this is what you get - bad scoring slumps

Or Alex Pieterangelo apparently. I would love a nice slash to break Tkachuk's arm

This series has been clear since game 1 the NHL wants Florida to advance. We haven't done any favors forgetting how to put the puck in the net, but the crap Florida has gotten away with in several rounds is freaking annoying

I'd rather just tell a 4th liner to run full speed into Bob and knock him out of the playoffs. Take the 5 minute major and game misconduct - well worth it

When has Aho ever done something like this?

This. We have been one of the softest teams in the league for god knows how long. Other teams know this and they aren't afraid to hurt us. As much as I hate Kadri, we need somebody like that. When things start going bad, you can count on him to take out another team's star or goalie

If this freaking team has any backbone, they better start just cross checking the poo out of FL and boarding these pricks so hard the glass breaks

I've pretty much been the same, except I'm to the point I have tuned out of more Panthers games than I would like to admit. Honestly, it took me too long to just not invest time into sports, unless they happen to be on in the background of a bar/restaurant when I'm with friends. How much happier I have been since doing this is amazing, outside of watching the Hurricanes lose to Florida

That would free up some roster spots - no longer need a punter, kicker, or long snapper

I need to borrow some of your optimism
