We got a lot of chances last night. I will say for the part I watched we were the better team 5v5. We had them clogged up and nowhere to go. A few mistakes cost us winning the game in regulation. We have to dial in our shot so we don’t just keep finding the post. 

I think that waxed and waned. Some periods they definitely dominated us on the 5x5 but I think our peak performance in 5x5 was better than theirs.

We just needed them to go in and that didn't happen.

And, Freddie played pretty well but one of those goals was just flat out an easy one. He can't make those mistakes. That goes for this series or the next(hopefully). Every round the intensity ramps up and the margin for error gets smaller.

I’ve said this several times, you can’t win the playoffs with just two goals a game, even with our defense, have to get 3+. Canes did that against the devils but this is a tougher challenge. I really believe we can score more and the next game will have to show it. 

Freddie stopped 57 out of 60 shots, that’s an outstanding .950 save percentage. If your asking for more than that your trying to put it all on one man.

It’s one game where we hit a million goal posts. We are going to be fine. 

  • we looked like the lesser team the majority of the game and could only score on PPs
  • we also got a lot of breaks go our way as well, we were VERY lucky for it to go as many rounds as it did
  • we lost after the game went to 2 am, which is really bad for morale and our energy
  • florida beat an all time great team in Boston, they are really good team and the best team left we could have faced
  • we are down early and might have gotten beat so bad we lose twice and end up losing the series because of it

it's not over but I'm not going to pretend it's not looking good

We totally dominated the third period with 14 SOG to the panthers 2. If we play our game all three periods we have a chance to win a game. Yes we need to score 5 on 5 but good to see our PP working.

We beat Florida last game of the season (yes Lyon in net) to stay ahead of the Devils so it’s not like they’re suddenly unbeatable. 

Agree it’s a tough road ahead but we knew it would be. Let’s see what Saturday brings.

Nah. It’s one game. We have kicked ass for the majority of the playoffs. I’m sure you were doom and gloom with the devils beat us 8-4 that one game. You are flat out crazy to say “I’m not going to pretend it doesn’t look good”

    • Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out. 
    • Hiring Shula & his Cam save us playbook.
    • I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
