Wow... Panther fans have now devolved into age-grouping racism amongst themselves. And you have a problem with boomers?

Fugging millennials on this board.... Little whippersnappers should get a switch taken to their hind-ends.

If you go back thru the game day thread, as soon as the penalty occurred, I posted something to the effect of would everyone still be good with the celly if the resulting penalty and a kickoff returned for a TD? Needless to say, my post received about 20 .

Nobody mentioned how he was nodding out.... how does that even happen at a hockey game?

That was rough. Thankfully, the game was quick enough for me to barely stay awake at 12:30. But hey! Tomorrow's game is at 9:30!

We'll see what he says by how the team starts the 3rd.

Defensive brain farts a bunch.

WTF was that?

That was weak. Smith was weak and Raanta was terrible.

That PP goal looked too easy. Good to get TDA involved offensively. He doesn't get frustrated and let the little crap bother him when he's scoring. 8 point road trip is what I want.

Just because it's painfully obvious to everyone (except the Panther organization, apparently) that O-line is the definite need for this team doesn't mean it'll be addressed. Anyone who thought this O-line was serviceable 4 months ago, or even 8 months ago before the draft, and didn't do anything about it; you really have any reason to believe it'll be addressed in the future?

See those 4 lines up there ^^^? Tell me where there are any glaring weaknesses? None that I can see. Each one of those lines is contributing on a very high level.

Down to a person, just about everyone on the NHL Network is very good. No big egos and no idiots who think they're bigger or better than the other guy. Football guys are a problem. Everyone seems deathly afraid of calling a bad cell exactly what it is- a bad call. Aikman is boring; Romo is as overhyped as they get and Jim Nance is nothing but a huge Cowboy and Tom Brady nut-hugger. Hell, the 2 best guys doing football right now are both named Manning. And I do like Joe Buck.

That's resale. The team already made their money off the tickets. Just because some scalper can sell his game day tickets for twice as much now as they were worth last week doesn't do anything for the team's revenues.

TV revenue contracts are done for years in advance. Ticket sales are not going to change, thanks to PSLs and, as the OP states, there's no real "box office" advantage to signing Cam Newton. All the coin has been accounted for and every owner knows what their cut is at this point. The signing, if you take the time to read the terms, is a half-season rental the Panthers, thanks to their cap space, were able to afford. If it doesn't work out, the roster bonus isn't paid and he's released before March 1, free to look for employment elsewhere. The Panthers are in a no-lose situation. It endears their fan base a little more, maybe brings back a few hold-out fans and will even have some fans believing a return to the playoffs is inevitable.

Did you really do that? Good on ya. The Blues are a pretty solid team, though, and the fans are pretty decent. Hope you were treated well.

PJ Walker sucks as bad as Sam.

So if Arizona runs this kickoff back after the 15-yard penalty, you all good with that?

There's your Panthers offense.

3rd period should have a few make up calls for Carolina.

Like Tripp said, giving the puck up way too close to their own blue line. And the Canes seem to turnover everything in the middle of the ice.

Yeah, it really depends which line he breaks into.

Solid, relaxed penalty kill. Canes stood tall at the blue line.

And another Svech penalty. His discipline is regressing. Jarvis has had 2 goals taken off the board this season.

Another terrible call to take that goal off the board.
