Ghost and Pool suck

[Panthers Fan 69]

Horrible trades that didn’t work. We are worse with those guys. Waddle fuged us.

I had hoped for more goals from Ghost, but he has played some good defense at least at times.

Honestly ghost has been fine in my opinion. A lot of our issues both offensively and defensively rests on the forwards. On the goal scoring front, I like what I’ve seen from the forwards the past few games late. It’s not like they aren’t going shots on goal either, which was a huge issue before, they just can’t find the net. That’s bad puck luck.

Last night we were screwed by the refs on the net front penalty, there was no way that was a penalty. Don’t know if that is reviewable but if so Rod should have challenged. What we need for our forward coaching to be more willing to adapt. I get the “play our game” mantra. As it usually works and our game can be lethal. But when it isn’t you can’t just keep telling the guys to play our game. I’m not as negative about the playoffs as most around here.

Our team understands it’s a reset of the season. That said missing svech is going to hurt. A lot. During the bubble playoffs we were owning Boston until we lost svech to that dirty play/rut in the ice.

We need to focus on winning the last two. Right now, it’s Florida, Pittsburg or the Rangers for us in the first. The team needs to show up tonight and give some emotion back to this fan base.

Also, I fully expect brand new PP lines in the playoffs/Florida. If we don’t it would be mental on the coaches part. 
 

Id like to see Skjei with Aho, Necas, Noesen, TT.

Ghost, Burns, Drury, Staal, Jarvis. 
 

Though it you need another cycler on the second line swap TT and Drury. Our biggest PP issues has again been passing. We need to cycle the puck better or try a completely different PP approach, but a little late for that.

yes, Pool Party looks like a clumsy oaf out there, he should throw his body around a lot more - it's the only asset he has

Ghost is ok, I'm amazed a how far down Pesce game has gotten

and last thing - does this team lead the league in missing the net, often with gaping holes

Seems to me Pool Party is starting to play better, some good hits and hustle around the net gave him some good scoring chances. Not a great pickup but I bet he scores soon.

The have too. Honestly though. It’s a microcosm of our inability to actually score.

I think Ghost is who and what we thought he would be for the team.

Puljujarvi needs to be told his job is to throw his body around and get to the front of the net and put the recycling in the bin.  Keep it physical and simple....
