What the hell was Sanguinetti doing? He is not an NHL defensemen. I never thought I'd say this but... put Corvo back in.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

4 of our 7 defensemen are garbage.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

3 of our 7 defensemen are garbage.

[kman72]

yeah Sanguinetti is driving me crazy, always misplaying pucks and out of position... if our defense can hold up some our offense looks good with Staal bro's, Semin, Skinner

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

Harrison almost got us free queso.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

THERE IT IS!!! Jordan Staal!!!

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

ERIC STAAL!!!

What's up with the Toronto fans cheering when the ref got hit with the puck? Classy.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

Toronto fans are sh*t heads.

Nice game from Ward so far, defense is playing decently for the most part. Still seeing some major zone issues that just shouldn't be happening. UP 2-1 though. Fing shitty ass Toronto players!
